They are Iranian Jews and they could pass for Indians. They would get zero matches on the app they invented.

Resumes including 'they/them' pronouns are more likely to be overlooked, new report finds

I sometimes fantasize about making my pronouns slight misspellings such as hee/heem/hees. Would people have to respect it? Could I correct people if they refer to me as "him" instead of "heem"?

Aspartame, such as in diet sodas, suspected to cause gene damage that results in anxiety issues passed down for multiple generations, based on controlled study of mice

Aspartame is poison. I was drinking it every day and it was giving me memory and concentration problems. When I stopped drinking it the problems went away.

AI learns to write computer code in ‘stunning’ advance

Real world programming often involves understanding the natural world, which computers today cannot do. A very small portion of my work resembles the algorithmic programming challenges on those websites. Most of the problems I solve are: Someone wants to control some real-world thing with their computer, and I have to figure out how to write software to enable them to do this. AIs do not understand the real world, so they are not coming close to being able to do this kind of work.

Sean Penn gives his Oscar to Zelenskyy...

When I read the title I thought it was some kind of metaphor for how Zelenskyy is an actor.

My old programming problem
trident765 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun 1 year ago

I got 5812104600.

If the answer is 400001 then how would you find it?

After the 2nd bulk shuffle the deck would be at the 800000th shuffle. If the answer is 400001, then the 800000th shuffle will be identical to the 399999th shuffle, so I will find the 800000th (399999th) shuffle in the precomputed table, and then this would tell me to subtract 800000 - 399999 = 400001.

Here is my code:

My old programming problem
trident765 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun 1 year ago

Ok I solved it by recognizing that the result of shuffling n times is the mapping indices to perform n shuffles. So I precomputed the first n shuffles (I used 400000 for n), and then bulk shuffled the fast way that I just described until I got a result that was in the precomputed shuffles.

My old programming problem

This problem has no solution. The cards added to the top of the deck makes the shuffling of one size deck too different from the other. So there is no pattern that can be observed and exploited.

Of course, I am sure a Silicon Valley scum will be able to solve this by applying some bizarre mathematical trick. But knowledge of these mathematical tricks has little use in the real world.

I had a friend who was good at solving these types of problems but he a dumbass when it came to common sense. First he lost a bunch of money by investing in obscure cryptocurrencies. And when psychopaths took over my department at work he was completely oblivious to what was happening. He embraced liberalism with all his heart, and believed that those who spread disinfo about the vaccine are a threat to society.

Did you report this sub to the admins after I unbanned you?

I was the founder of the r/truecels subreddit on reddit which is effectively the community that went on to be r/incels. In the early months there was another sub called r/ForeverUnwanted which was initially more popular, but they kept banning people until it became a boring echo chamber. On r/truecels, however, women and "normies" were allowed to come and debate incels, and the incels would just verbally destroy them, so it was a more interesting sub. In the longer term r/ForeverUnwanted died off due to inactivity but r/truecels thrived.

There are no rules for posters at the moment.

The rules for moderators are:

1) No banning users unless they violate a rule, or there is some emergency reason (e.g. there is a spambot or illegal content)

2) A new rule for posters will require my consent. For something like a rule banning women, I would recommend making a post proposing the rule so we can get input from the community.

Would you agree to these?

I am open to this. He does not have to apologize. Just agree to not ban users unless they violate established rules (except in extreme cases). I am personally do not see anything wrong with allowing women to post, but I am open to making a rule banning them if a clear majority of posters here support it.

I did not know that. But why should women be banned?

I don't mean to be disrespectful to your community, but I think if you asked 100 women to sleep with you, you wouldn't be celibate.

An AI-Generated Artwork Won First Place at a State Fair Fine Arts Competition, and Artists Are Pissed
trident765 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 1 year ago

AI generates its are by interpolating what other artists have done, so it depends on the creativity of other artists. A good society would reward artists that contribute to society's creativity output, and not reward the artists that just plagiarize other artists. I would argue AI generated art just adds noise to the system, because it plagiarizes in a difficult to detect way. With humans combining multiple pieces is not plagiarism, because when they do this they will inevitably put their own creative spin on it, but AI purely interpolates.
