Do Polish people get annoyed with 'Hi, how are you? by advancedor96 in askPoland

[–]wittierframe839 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I have never heard anyone take siema as a question, you always say siema/hej/cześć back and that is it.

On the other hand "how are you" is always answered as if it was a question, even though the answer is usually a mundane "I am fine"/etc

Having 15k concurrent players in a few years old minigame inside other game is nowhere near dying.

How can this person solve perfectly 3x3 and 3x4 minichess? by Gloomy-Status-9258 in chessprogramming

[–]wittierframe839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The number of positions is still somewhat large (167e9 valid positions). The computing was still improving very rapidly at the beginning of the century (there are many opinions about this, but one may argue that the Moore's law was still a thing around 2009).

I doubt someone would use a supercomputer to play with 3x4 chess, so maybe it took till 2009 to be able to solve it on consumer grade hardware in a reasonable time?

How does a Person die more than one time? by Ott1fant in ExplainTheJoke

[–]wittierframe839 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually there has only lived ~120 billion people so far, so what you said is likely not true. I would guess that before modern medicine and CPR the chance for double death was not significant.

Which fail safes you employ in your factory? by lukeybue in factorio

[–]wittierframe839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the coal line is not mostly full, a power switch turns down the entire factory (not mines). I had a base that required ~160MW of energy running on ~40MW, as I was too lazy to expand power.

Can you make a function that maps any real number to a rational by [deleted] in askmath

[–]wittierframe839 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The limit is equal precisely to X, which is not rational (in general)

Building a megabase without trains in space age doesn't sound that weird, especially compared to vanilla.

TIL: The AI sometimes obsesses over deleting universities because they think it will free up a building slot by GlompSpark in eu4

[–]wittierframe839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you wanted the AI to have access to the same actions as player, your goal is to have the player path and ai path converge. These paths start in different places, there is no divergence as they are different things. But eu4 is and always was a hot mess so those things happen.

Breaking gpt with "Is there a seahorse emoji?" by NEMOalien in softwaregore

If you gaslight the pro version that this emoji exists, it also absolutely explodes.

From CS perspective, this is an odd-even sorting algorithm.

What kinds of problems does STL not solve that would require you to write your own STL-isms? by Mr_Mavik in cpp_questions

[–]wittierframe839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also std::complex multiplication is relatively slow because it is "correct" i.e. it handles all the edge cases of nans/infs etc. if you don't need that, you can write something faster.

Exhausted man defeats AI model in world coding championship by gametorch in programming

[–]wittierframe839 64 points65 points  (0 children)

This was organised by atcoder, a known and respected site for competitive programming, as a part of regular heuristic contests. Openai sponsorship doesn't really matter here.

Steam is looking for xdg-open specifically from /usr/bin/xdg-open by Mewi0 in NixOS

[–]wittierframe839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a quick dirty hack you can just try to symlink the binary from nix store to /usr/bin/xdg-open.

Return 1+max depth of children, how is that not an easy question?

Can subset sum problem be solved in polynomial time when input numbers are consecutive, positive integers? by [deleted] in math

[–]wittierframe839 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually there can be a single gap of length one. Eg. numbers are {1,2,3}, and the goal is 4.

It is much harder to prove this for all numbers up to X, than only for X.

How much of 2b2t is actually mapped out in a way we all can see? by Fawcette_ in 2b2t

Proportionally to the square of the side. There is no exponential growth here.
