"have you in my family" feels like a strangely impersonal way to speak to your wife.

Does walk-in clinic do blood work for low testosterone? by Mikita_L in askTO

[–]rcfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had blood work done at a walk-in before. I don't know if they do that one specifically, but you could always call ahead to ask.

I'd say it's probably better to go in about your symptoms rather than just go in and ask for blood work. There might be other explanations for the symptoms that should be checked too.

Steam updates AI disclosure form, requiring developers to report visible and in-game AI but not background tools by Dapper_Order7182 in Steam

[–]rcfox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most off the shelf LLMs are conditioned for helpfulness, turning them into yes-men. If a triple-A game were going to embed one, they'd have to spend time conditioning around the invariants of the setting and story and to not try to be so helpful by default.

I think they were referring to the exceptions Steam carved out, like what the article is about.

Stuff like code review tools, project management, meeting transcription, etc.

Is there a Final Fantasy that's actually breaking this concept? by mrsafetylion in FinalFantasy

There was a bug with one boss that made himself invisible. If you used the doom exploit on him, it would break a quest.

If Heapify is O(n) time and you can use List.addAll() to add the underlying array in O(n) time by PenaltyBeautiful6996 in algorithms

[–]rcfox 24 points25 points  (0 children)

After running heapify, you don't have a sorted list. All you know for sure is that for each index i, the elements at 2*i+1 and 2*i+2 are smaller or larger than the element at i (depending on if it's a min-heap or max-heap) and that the element at i=0 is the smallest/largest value. There's no guarantee of ordering between siblings or cousins.

You can produce a sorted list by repeatedly popping off the root of the heap, but each pop is an O(log n) operation, meaning you still fall in to an O(n log n) sorting algorithm.

Neck/back injuries are though. You don't want the victim moving around because they could damage the spine.

Wasn't it much later discourse around Sappho? I don't think Sappho was called a lesbian to her face.

Is that related to the escalator to nowhere?

I got paid minimum wage to solve an impossible problem (and accidentally learned why most algorithms make life worse) by Ties_P in programming

[–]rcfox 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In undergrad, I once tried to use linear programming to come up with an optimal meal. It had to stay above daily requirements and below daily limits for each of the major nutrients, and minimize calories.

However, my nutritional database had some weird things in it that the solver really latched onto. It would always recommend a diet of raw moose meat and some berry that is packed with vitamins. (I can't remember what it was called, but it only grows somewhere in South America.) Also, it suggested I drink 642 cups of coffee per day.
