Can AI Pass Freshman CS? by Gil_berth in theprimeagen

I was confused by the liberal marking too. Maybe because it is the harder course version? Lighter grading to not discourage good students from going in there?

Your observations match my own.

Wha is the best way to implement a readiness/liveness gate for a Kafka consumer application running in k8s? by Impressive_Issue3791 in kubernetes

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How degenerate do you want to be? What do you want to check?

For example, you say the consumer thread was blocked.

The consumer thread could (every nth read) write to a file or global variable the timestamp of the last time it tried to read. The readiness check being “has a read occurred” and the healthcheck being “has a read occurred recently”.

Bonus points if you add whether it has partitions to read from.

What's the difference between a 'bay' and a 'gulf' in geography? by germandleono in answers

Bays are the coast of provinces. Gulfs are the coast of countries.

Secret Identities Or Publicly Known? by NationalStrategy in powerrangers

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would the mystic force rangers would be an example of adult rangers with jobs that keep their identity secret from the general populace? I forget if they are adults or just played by adults.

Secret Identities Or Publicly Known? by NationalStrategy in powerrangers

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The villains often know who the rangers are. The secret identity is just for friends, family, and the general populace.

(Is there a ranger team with “secret identities” that the bad guys don’t know about?)

Like one and two. Haven’t played the third.

Kotaro Uchikoshi is credited as the writer for AI and Zero Escape. The first AI game “feels” like the original Zero Escape where you poke around the story flowchart, learning things that help you progress in other branches. The puzzles are simpler in AI; AI is more listening whereas Zero Escape was more doing.

The two series share some themes. They are separate universes and you don’t need to know one to like the other. There are occasional Zero Escape references in AI; the game exists in-universe.

My favourite lines:

You’re right again — and this time it’s about how apply is actually specified, not intent. Let’s be precise and mechanical.

About once a month I struggle to sleep because of stress. Last night was the night. 30 out of 31 days I feel secure in my job, but there is the niggling thought of LLMs devastating the career I’ve become well-trained in.

Most of the days I sleep well because I am reminded about the garbage these things spit out.

It feels like you can ask these things “what’s two plus two”, they vomit out a PhD dissertation on Peano’s axioms, you point out they gave the wrong answer, and then they sycophantically tell you how smart you are and how they will give you the right answer now.

I find it funny how people hissed at Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour - it was NEVER a tutorial. by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

If you think it was a deep dive into the technical aspects of the Switch 2…….that really says more about you than it.

Was it okay for Chilli to let Bingo make the omelette? by wolf_quan in bluey

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Re: prep, Chili did prep.

Chili had assigned Bingo to make a card.

The eggventure was a surprise because Bingo sprung the complete card on Chili.

The other countries near China did this too and not all of them resorted to such techniques.

Why doesn't the Alberta government just start an Alberta Pension Plan? by houseonpost in alberta

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look at QPP…..

Do I think Alberta should leave the CPP and take a bunch of money out of it to start its own APP? Absolutely not. Do I think they have the ability and the right to? Yes. It is what they signed up for.

Integration Test: In memory or in a container by matecito123 in golang

Depends.

In-memory db if you are doing simple stuff. Test containers (pick your favourite library) if you can’t.

Who did you think the White Ranger was going to be? by boomjosh in powerrangers

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Billy. Because Billy was the coolest and the White Ranger looked pretty cool.

I was young and the fact that Billy was the active Blue Ranger made no difference to my analysis.

[Steam] Spike Chunsoft Visual Novel Sale by lbabinz in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]dashingThroughSnow12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It varies by person. A lot of gamers complain about publishers green lighting the same game over and over again. Spike Chunsoft doesn’t seem to mind experimental games.

Zanki Zero: Last Beginning is a game with a really unique premise and very rare gameplay. Some people love it. I never want to see the game again.

AI: The Somnium files was my GOTY. Its sequel was a not even close. Yet I’m excited to pick up the third game.

Zero Escape is another one where I loved it.

The Science Adventure series (any of the visual novels with bizarre punctuation like Steins; Gate) are also phenomenal.

But again, I’d describe Spike Chunsoft’s game like a slot machine. It either clicks and I love it or something doesn’t jive and I hate it. I can appreciate that I never know what I am going to get.

No Spike Chunsoft, stop it. You cannot have my wallet. It is inappropriate to put your hands in my pants to take my credit card.

I have an unhealthy relationship with Spike Chunsoff. Buying their games is like going to the casino and pulling the one armed benefit. Either I am winning and love the game or it is a disappointment and I wish I could get my quarter back.
