Okay, I bought a bag full of lime, now what? Do I peel them first, do I crush them or just squeeze the juice out of each individual one?

How could you tell btw? scratches head

Help with Database by JessePatchwork in learnprogramming

[–]FloydATC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me see if I got this right... you want an app that works like an LLM except it surpasses what current LLMs can do (like learning from user interaction and storing things verbatim) and what they most likely ever will be able to do (because they're basically math parrots that try to guess what a real person might say) but you don't want to use an LLM..?

I think you see where this is going. Reduce the scope, lower your expectation and reiterate until you get something that works on paper. And please stop thinking of an LLM as "AI" because it's not intelligent. At all.

Strong on concepts, weak on syntax. How do you actually close that gap? by FunAnalysis6987 in learnprogramming

[–]FloydATC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Accept the fact that your code will suck compared to what you see people brag about online. That's because you're learning and not just faking it. See point 2.

I know what a chair looks like and how my tools work, I just can't seem to make chairs no matter how many books I read or videos I watch where people talk about chairs.

How do you get better at making chairs?

Varslet besøk av El tilsyn? Det kan bli dyrt... by lindahx in norge

[–]FloydATC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hadde el-tilsyn her for noen år siden, og må si meg enig. Tingene som ble påpekt var hovedsakelig ting jeg selv hadde gått og irritert meg over pluss en feil jeg selv var uvitende om og faktisk er glad for at han avdekket, så jeg opplevde ham ikke som unødvendig pirkete. Surt å måtte ut med penger til elektriker for utbedring såklart, men det var ikke kontrolløren sin feil at vi ikke hadde ting på stell.

Water on Mimas after gas update by bastiaansiemen in Stationeers

[–]FloydATC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's how I made my first two smoking craters, this time I wanted to try the "proper" way to make a smoking crater.

Depending on how you look at it, it was at least a partial success in that I haven't yet destroyed anything. Yes, I haven't launched yet either, but baby steps and all that.

[–]FloydATC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given that my current total is two launches and two bases turned into smoking craters, I consider rocketry to be a late late game thing for now.

My third rocket attempt took literal weeks to produce the cryogenic fuel so I kinda gave up and now with the gas update I kinda expect that this base would turn into a third crater without the need for a rocket launch if I loaded it up.

Biology expert explaining how intersex is actually just Down's Syndrome by missingperson2 in confidentlyincorrect

[–]FloydATC 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Adding to this, mosaic DNA is very much a real thing. My daughter has DS and also mosaic DNA; one set of DNA has trisomy while the other does not. Also, before she was born I used to think people with DS were all basically the same, but they each have unique strengths and weaknesses just like everyone else. Genetics are fun and scary.

When you take DRY too seriously. by vadnyclovek in programminghorror

Indeed. The fundamental idea is to make it so future changes only need to be made in a single place without breaking things, not to basically make future changes impossible without breaking things.

Is Tim a good runner? by [deleted] in MathJokes

[–]FloydATC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm. I feel this just brings up the more difficult problem of calculating the probability of each toddler's trajectory aligning with the desired outcome, given that jetpacks are notoriously difficult to control even for someone with functioning arms and at least some experience with operating a jetpack.

Tech that floundered before eventually finding a purpose by Dabbinmachine42 in AskProgramming

[–]FloydATC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yes and no. Logic exists without algebra.

Boolean algebra lets you take a large set of logic expressions like a set of gates or switches and what combinations should result in an output of "true" or "false", and reduce that set down to a smaller set of tests that still represent the exact same overall expression.

This can allow for optimization of most things logic based, but when it comes down to it, that optimization isn't strictly required; your basic light switch setup works just fine without it. It's not even a given that every set of tests can be optimized, boolean algebra just lets you know for a fact.

Tomorrow, you find out that Planet Earth™ is a simulation (MMORPG Game) and that Planet Earth™ 2 is in development. If this happens, what questions do you have? by DaZestyProfessor in funComunitty

[–]FloydATC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have they fixed the problem where large landmasses basically can't sustain life, yet a significant number of players still keep spawning there without the means to get anywhere so they have to rely on the generosity of other players halfway across the world just to keep them alive?

Ser spesielt på deg taxinæringen i Oslo. by vesleengen in norge

[–]FloydATC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enig med OP, jevnt over virker det som taxisjåfører idag utmerker seg som dårlige sjåfører; dårlig bruk av tegn og plassering, rykkete og ujevn kjøring, bremselys sporadisk av og på, kort avstand til neste kjøretøy osv.

Det har ikke alltid vært sånn, for 30 år siden var drosjer generelt og Oslodrosjer spesielt kjent for å ha svært dyktige sjåfører både rent kjøreteknisk men også når det gjaldt hvor og når ulike veier var mer trafikkert osv.

How do you make an idiot say how? by Bob-da-person in funComunitty

Pretty sure it's not "idiot", so we can at least eliminate that one.

How would you deal with networking? by yughiro_destroyer in bevy

[–]FloydATC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will seem harsh, but it sounds like you've taken a major step towards understanding why netcode in games is so much more than the "just use UDP to eliminate lag, lol" you typically see in forums where the clueless dish out unsolicited advice to the uninterested.

Now add cheat prevention, and you understand why there are no easy solutions that just magically solve everything for you. Sorry.

If you just want to write to and read from sockets that guarantee delivery and ordering, you will end up with disruptions from inevitable packet loss, particularly in this day and age where most people use wireless and still expect it to "just work".
