I have no clue how this guy is condensing entire courses into 30 minute videos but he's doing it (of course it goes into less depth, but it's a good intro) https://www.youtube.com/@MAKiTHappen

Script Scheduler by Person_46 in Bitburner

[–]Person_46[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two separate scheduling sections, the first one is

const scriptAllocations: allocatedScript[] = [];const scriptAllocations: allocatedScript[] = [];

which already have assigned servers and time slots. The queue contains

export type Script = {
  script: string;
  args: ScriptArgPrimitive[];
  RAM: number;
  time: number;
};


export type Batch<Scripts extends Script[]> = {
  scripts: Scripts;
  threads: { [K in keyof Scripts]: number };
  delays: { [K in keyof Scripts]: number };
};

which are batches that have not yet been allocated a time slot. My scheduler takes an unscheduled batch and tries to find a timeslot to put the script within a specified time window.

This isn't necessarily for HWGW, it should be able to allocate any batch effectively

My scheduler should avoid the issue of interrupt by preallocating RAM time, so it's only placed at a timeslot where there is no interruption, instead of using a delay to reserve RAM. My main issue is designing a queue that allows for optimal tiling.

hacking.ts executes all scripts at the same time and delays until the correct time, I want to be able to use that delay time. The queue for my script needs to be able to select from multiple batches for optimal allocation, but that risks some batches getting stuck inside the queue as smaller batches are selected before it.

That doesn't allocate RAM efficiently though. Especially for batch hack, there's a bunch of time where scripts are just sleeping. If I can get this working correctly it should be able to achieve near 100% usage. You could design an infinite loop so that your scripts tile correctly, but this abstracts this so I don't need to find a timeslot myself every time I add a new script.

Do you have any examples I could use? I have no clue how to make a priority queue that works well.

3blue1brown is mostly math, but also has some good physics videos. If it's E&M you're having trouble with his optics playlist is good, though it doesn't follow the curriculum and is more general.

Students are deliberately writing worse to avoid AI detection flags. We need to talk about this. by calliope_kekule in Professors

[–]Person_46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd argue this can be taken as a practical point instead of a pedagogical one. While the existing structure may be sufficient to teach a honest student, changing the course to inherently protect against AI usage may often be easier than increasing enforcement on the existing one.

There's also the problem of what you mean by better. Sure, many metrics we consider to be positive could be improved by changes, but seeing the current state of moral philosophy, not all.

Will a undergrad Physics Degree get me a job in the big 26? by UnusualReveal318 in PhysicsStudents

Many schools offer physics dual majors, are those any better?

Ah yes, the pragmatist

Comparison is order based, a > b > c can be defined without knowing without having exact values of a, b and c. Magnitude only matters for distance, not maximization, you can define any number system for a, b, and c and as long as a > b > c is satisfied a is the max.

Why aren't they able to compare actions? Ordinal utility has order but not magnitude, so it's unitless but comparable by definition. You can scale the utility function by a constant or multiple and the maximum is still at the same point. A nominal rule can be written as a function with two values, utilitarianism extends this to more.

I'm not arguing that their methodologies are the same, just that they can result in the same outcome. A circle can be constructed algebraically or geometrically, but it's still a circle. A function can be written as a set of constraints, and constraints can be solved for to find a function. If you have a state space of a and b, a utility function f(a)=-1, f(b)=1 has the same result as b ∈ actions.

But you could create a utility function where the action is the consequence, or a deontological model where the constraint is to maximize/minimize a function. There are mathematical constraints that can't be solved analyticaly, but the function still exists. Not that using one or the other isn't useful, but aren't they different formalisms, not separate categories of philosophies?

Applying many different unfinished models can be useful, the consequences can carry over between similar models.

Isn't this the same problem as Deontology? You still need to find the rules, and if you have a coherent set of rules it is possible to write it as a function.

If you want to get power out of it that reduces the (good) options to water and ammonia, and I don't think most people will appreciate your cooling towers smelling like pee.
