  • Google Lens already did that though, all you need is decent OCR and an image classification model (which is a precursor to the current "AI" hype, but actually useful).

  • Time to read Neuromancer again. It's such a perfect cyberpunk novel, it's weird that it didn't get a movie adaptation with terrible CGI in the 90s.

  • I just reply to things that show up my feed honestly and pretty randomly

    No one asked you to and in fact temp banned you for it, so try to read the room next time

  • Why the hell would you go on a book community, open a discussion post that is clearly asking for personal opinions and go "I dunno lol go ask chatgpt". I would've banned you too tbqh.

  • Trump says the U.S. will take control of Greenland 'one way or the other'

    Jump

  • The total area of Greenland is 2.1 million km², but where other countries have usable land and maybe some lakes, Greenland has 1.7 million km² of ice. There's some land under there, but much less than you might think:

    The US has 9.1 million km² of actual land, so if we're counting the ice, a quarter is about right.

  • People that believe in reincarnation, why do you believe in that?

  • You can do either, but you usually do neither. The best way is to throw a new exception for your situation and add the caught exception as an inner exception. Because rethrowing resets the stack trace, removing the context from an exception message that is often pretty vague, and "bouncing" with throw; doesn't tell the next exception handler that you already handled (part of) the exception.

  • This is probably because of a lack of training data, where it is referencing only one example and that example just had a mistake in it.

    The one example could be flawless, but the output of an LLM is influenced by all of its input. 99.999% of that input is irrelevant to your situation, so of course it's going to degenerate the output.

    What you (and everyone else) needs is a good search engine to find the needle in the haystack of human knowledge, you don't need that haystack ground down to dust to give you a needle-shaped piece of crap with slightly more iron than average.

  • what debugging regex feels like

    Jump

  • I love regex and I use it a lot, but I very rarely use it in any kind of permanent solution. When I do, I make sure to keep it as minimal as possible, supplementing with higher level programming where possible. Backreferences and assertions are a cardinal sin and should never be used.

  • Bit of context for the power level stuff: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/hide-your-power-level

    It only became an alt-right thing because it leaked from /a/ to /b/ and to /pol/, but it wasn't originally alt-right. /w/allpapers always has a "power level" thread running with anime stuff that isn't immediately obvious to the casual observer.

  • Water into Wine

    Jump

  • It's not untrue that it boils off, but dilution is the bigger factor by a wide margin. When I use wine to deglaze, it will be 100ml. That is then turned into 2 or 3 liters of sauce, so a dilution of 1:20, 1:30. Or, expressed in percentages, 3-5% of the sauce would be wine if none of it evaporated - 14% alcohol would be reduced to less than 0.5% just by dilution.

    To get a similar reduction from evaporation, you'd need to boil off 95% of the alcohol, assuming none of the water is also evaporated, which it will at the temperature of deglazing. I don't know the exact ratios here, but even a 75% net alcohol evaporation (which I think is generous) would leave you with a 3.5% alcohol (light beer) before dilution.

    Relevant Adam Ragusea video.

    Edit: the table he shows has 95% actual alcohol loss for a 2.5 hours simmer, but every other method (where you'd "burn it off") is below 25%, so that's definitely a noticeble amount of alcohol left in, especially when you start with something like a brandy.

  • Why do libraries define their own true and false?

    Jump

  • I have seen this, but with "Y", "N" instead. That was the way the database stored it and the way the UI displayed it, but everything inbetween converted to boolean instead, because there was logic depending on those choices. It wasn't that bad, all things considered, just a weird quirk in the system. I think there was another system that did just use those strings plain (like WHERE foo = 'Y' in stored procedures), but nothing I had to work with. We just mapped "Y" to true when reading the query results and were done with it.

    (And before anyone asks, yes, we considered any other value false. If anyone complained that their "Yes", "y" or empty was seen as false, we told them they used it wrong. They always accepted that, though they didn't necessarily learn from it.)

  • "I'm fine"

    Jump

  • I learned it by looking up a guide on how to win at the Mahjong minigame in Yakuza 0. The guide existed. It was a crash course on how to play Riichi Mahjong.

    I also played a lot of Mahjong Soul after that. It's a little easier to open a website than having to walk over to the Mahjong parlor every time, but a lot less atmospheric.

  • "I'm fine"

    Jump

  • I spent 40 hours in the Mahjong parlor, waiting for my businesses to drop off their monthly profits so I could invest it again. It is an accurate depiction of being a crime boss, dammit!

  • But on the other hand, over half my friends are queer and it rarely comes up. Maybe if your movie is a romance it would be relevant who is fucking who, but if you wouldn't make it relevant for a straight person, why focus on it for a gay person? Like, gay James Bond would have to be fucking hot dudes left and right, obviously. But gay Robin Hood err Indiana Jones err Shrek err Barry B. Benson... Why the fuck do they all have romantic plotlines??
