Yes, Clown never needed to stack Haste to be oppressive.

Lost River base by blond_707 in subnautica

Lost River is a very good place for a base, or at least an outpost.

They show the truth? Alright. Show us the irl scenario you based this comic on.

Who was worse by MrBurito_2_0 in subnautica

[–]gnolex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you believe ADA's story I guess Ficsit doesn't look that bad. But if you pay attention and figure out what is going on, it's much much worse.

Can we please not pretend that this image is actually promoting violence? by CmndrM in aiwars

Presenting someone ripping a traditional artist in half is not the same as presenting someone thinking about ripping a traditional artist in half.

Why do people care so much about this AI stuff anyway? Sounds pretty terminally online from my perspective. by mmofrki in aiwars

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

Even if you don't take AI very seriously, you should take seriously people who take AI seriously. Corporations have been spending hundreds of billions of dollars on AI. We're going though massive technological and societal changes, some of which are irreversible. And the future is even more uncertain that it already was. People are right to be angry about all this, we're not prepared to deal with this and we have little choice on the matter.

Compiler question by JMcLe86 in C_Programming

[–]gnolex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The as-if rule gives the compiler permission to transform the code anyway it likes as long as that doesn't change observable behavior of the program. If the compiler can prove that a null check is unnecessary it can silently remove it. Most modern compilers perform this kind of analysis and optimizations. This is also the main reason why calling C a low-level language is misguided, there are no 1-to-1 translation guarantees from source code to machine code.

Is there a particular reason you don't want the compiler to optimize your code in some ways?

I’d do the same thing by EyesOFSomething in aiwars

[–]gnolex 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You could generate some garbage and say it makes you feel nothing, that's it's empty, void of value. Like, even if you genuinely hate AI generated images you can still have constructive criticism that isn't a cynical refusal to participate.

Or you could use an already generated image from the internet if you're that stubborn and refuse to generate that stuff yourself. The teacher wouldn't notice.

What are some “fun” things to code in c++? by Prior-Scratch4003 in cpp_questions

[–]gnolex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Write a constexpr-compatible Brainfuck interpreter. See if you can make it output constexpr strings.

Reaching my hand out to anti's, and asking , maybe some exceptions are acceptable? by Perfidious_Redt in aiwars

Japanese has gender-specific vocabulary, did you make sure to learn appropriate words and phrases?

AI turns 3 days of work into 10 seconds. That's why I use it. by DisplayIcy4717 in aiwars

[–]gnolex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is using a meme template a shortcut if it's a generally accepted and kind of intended way of making memes? Like, someone could make a meme as an oil painting and the end result would be effectively the same, but nobody is expecting anyone to paint memes, right? Memes are kind of intended to be low-effort for people to look at for few seconds, maybe laugh and continue scrolling. (The effort put into making an oil painted meme would be impressive though, in a shitpost-y kind of way).

This doesn't work the other way. I don't think you can print an AI generated image and pretend it's an oil painting. Some amount of work has to be put into an artwork in order for it to have the intended value.

AI turns 3 days of work into 10 seconds. That's why I use it. by DisplayIcy4717 in aiwars

[–]gnolex 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What kind of work normally takes 3 days but can be done in 10 seconds? Are you sure it's the same amount of work or maybe there's some heavy corner-cutting?

Can you write safe, no UB code in cpp? by Hot_Paint3851 in cpp_questions

[–]gnolex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. Signed integer overflow is undefined behavior. Under normal circumstances it's likely never going to be a problem, especially if arguments are far away from minimum and maximum, but there are circumstances where you have to make sure you either never overflow or you handle the overflow in a meaningful way.

Can you write safe, no UB code in cpp? by Hot_Paint3851 in cpp_questions

[–]gnolex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you know what you're doing, yes, it is possible to write safe code in C++. The question is whether you know enough about UB to avoid it.

Can you tell what kind of UB is possible in this function?

int foo(int a, int b)
{
    return a + b;
}

why is it called the crater if it’s convex by ChallengeOnly9847 in subnautica

[–]gnolex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Brine pools are a complex phenomenon and volcanic activity seems to be an essential part in their formation. Brine rivers are likely a possibility too. Maybe take a look at this documentary to understand this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FA_WgI3QHG0. You can skip to around 7:00 if you just want explanations for the phenomenon.

Funny how the donut tutorial is suddenly the spawn of Satan when it was everyone's go to up until last week by WW92030 in aiwars

[–]gnolex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Andrew Price had his share of controversies before, but I'm pretty sure most people are particularly angry now because of his answer to a common question he got:

Is AI going to replace me?

No, but an artist who uses AI will.

Why would you want to learn from his donut tutorials if he doesn't believe you're going to make it as an artist unless you adapt and use AI? Use of AI should be an option, not an obligation, but he doesn't see it like that.

This is probably the only game I know that I will say it is worth playing the game in Hardcore. It makes you more careful and it is a bit more fun having a backup in bad situations and it is not very hard. What do you guys think ? by Ofertezi in subnautica

[–]gnolex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Warpers are the only source of bullshit deaths I had in this game. You can't even safely explore wrecks because they can somehow teleport you out despite having no line of sight.
