    I found out my automatic feeder is just ignoring daylight savings time. I’m getting the notifications “an hour early”, and the app acknowledges them as being an hour early, but it still checks off the correct feeding time in the app, so I guess it all works out?





  • I found this out when an old phone stopped getting updates, so I was gonna push a third-party OS, but no, even though it was a carrier unlocked MODEL, Verizon locked it and refuses to unlock it. So the phone is just gonna be out of date forever, I guess!


  • To be fair, I caused a massive problem when I accidentally filled the drive completely, so I’ve been a little more conservative while I shop for a larger HDD. Thinking of getting a 20TB HDD so I don’t have to have 4 different drives plugged into my computer. (I remember when my 3TB drive was considered crazy big…)




  • Two-Dice Pig. So not a super complicated game, but still fun to try to leverage the… 3 point totals to calculate a risk vs desperation factor. Though looking at the code again, the hard limits feel weird. Like just straight up not allowing the risk of more than 35 points at a time (100 is a winning score, tho)? Though I do remember that I HAD to add the condition to force it to claim victory or it’d essentially get too cocky and would lose everything. I know that two-dice pig is essentially a solved game (as much as you can solve a game that relies on random chance), but I felt using a lookup table was boring, and wanted it to feel like it was actually an AI that could make mistakes, and had a semblance of a personality.


  • Honestly one of my most competent “AIs” (that wasn’t ML) just did a whole bunch of math to calculate an optimal strategy, but to make it feel more human, I added a few other things, like how desperate it was to win this round so it could have a chance of continuing, a bit of arrogance if it was winning (it was a bit heavy in the beginning. Had to add checks for “if you’ve already won, submit your victory instead of becoming so arrogant you lose everything!”), and to top it all off: a random number generator that could make it pick the opposite of what it wanted to if the confidence strength wasn’t high enough. Just made it a little less predictable.

    Honestly made every competition against it really close. And certainly way better than the people who solved it with a simple “randomly choose an action to complete”… Which was most of the class.

    So is this more or less accurate than location by cell tower? I used to use that as an option in Llama all the time. Didn’t require a GPS ping, and once I had trained it sufficiently, it was fairly accurate with minimal background work. Heck, around my work I had problems where I walked around the outside of the building and it figured I wasn’t at work anymore. I’d say that’s pretty darn accurate. But I know that probably only works for really dense areas with tons of towers to handle tons of phones.

    Just feels like it would be more accurate than trusting that SSIDs are completely unique when there’s tons of instances where the same SSID is used in multiple locations…


  • You tell him “stop giving away our secrets!”

    And yeah, a lot of people in the comments are running away from the joke, but realistically, to copy+paste code and have it work, you generally have to have a grasp of the code, at least to ask what you want and to paste it and change the variable names, and write the lines to stitch it all together.

    Add imposter syndrome on top of that, and it may seem like you don’t do anything of use because you copied 3 functions out of a 1k line file.

    I mean if you’re ignoring the cat and saying that only the dog is important to you, then duh the cat isn’t gonna like you. Shocking how much distain people have for pets that you actually have to get along with instead of them just loving you unconditionally…

    I love the two sides of “It’s about the price of a cup of coffee” like they’re not referring to a 30oz premium milkshake with a shot of espresso, not a regular black coffee.

    Then the

    “Your generation can’t afford anything because of your coffee addiction!”

    Like companies aren’t just monetizing every single last thing and telling us “you’ll own nothing and you’ll LIKE IT!”

    Honestly there’s been plenty of times where I came for the fap, but just ended up getting engrossed in the story and not really caring about the porn. Sometimes so much so that it’s just “oh my gosh, ANOTHER sex scene? Get outta here with that!”


  • Yeah, this is why when they were BEGGING people to sign up for the AI beta I kept telling them to shove it. I know it’ll never be good enough to replace me actually reading the sources myself. Like those smart results that would highlight conveniently around the words that say that the commonly held belief is false or just give completely wrong info. And if the topic I want info about is involving compilation or any sort of logic, I know AI would screw that up, too. Ultimately it’s just easier to do it myself, instead of having to fix whatever info it gives back.
