  • Great! Still trying to get a good dough though, thin dough but not crispy. I want to pick up a slice with 2 fingers under and one centered over the slice then fold it and eat it side ways as grease runs down my arm...

  • Ok, I'll agree with that. As long as you agree ny over Chicago pizza?

    All in good fun but I moved from NY/NJ to Texas and I miss real pizza...

  • I'm not going to speak on the toppings but pizza should be round. Pizza that is rectangular is just wrong. 😋 I mean it to be funny and light hearted, don't actually take offense.

  • Ah, the bundle_2 link looks at lot more readable and understandable. That said it's not even 530am yet here so I'll need a little while to wake up before I can try to understand it.

  • He was a business God, not so sure of programming God, more like surrounding himself with programming gods.

    But seriously, how do you read this, is it like a representation of how the memory should be at a specific point in time? I'm guessing blank spaces would be undefined then?

  • I called 911 and went to hospital, unable to stand and uncontrollable vomiting black sludge with white specs in it, imagine over-used engine oil with seaseme seeds mixed in. Turns out my liver was leaking into my gi track. 43k bill from hospital, 1200 from ambulance to drive 1 mile, combined 3k from various doctors, 8k for all the tests they ran. Yes all separate bills. I was there for 3 days. That's about a total of 55k in bills for 3 days...

    Even if the 25 dollar an hour minimum wage bill passed, and I worked full time for minimum wage with no other expenses(no food, no rent, no gas, no nothing) I still couldn't pay it in a year(yearly pay at 25 an hour is 52k a year).

  • America Trembles as Transportation Secretary Announces Plans for Air Traffic Controllers to Lean on AI Tools

  • True, Ai doesn't really exist at the moment. It is a buzzword a lot of companies are fuzzing the definition of to get it into their marketing / pr releases. Let's see details on what they are claiming is Ai and they are using it before forming strong opinions.

  • But no one has said language model, they said Ai of which there are many types.

  • I would say python is good for basics like for what's a variable, how if/else work, how to iterate over a list, the thought process of breaking down a problem into sub problems. Now it's not a good language for going much beyond that. Do not try to make a real time video renderer in python.

    Once past that I would say go either front end or backend. If backend c++ is a good option. Now that you know what a variable is we can discuss the difference between a uint32 and a bool. Why we don't use an int variable set to 1 or 0 to determine the results of an if statement. This is also where you learn about memory and how computers actually work.

    If front end is the choice, maybe not Javascript but typescript would probably be a good option. I don't know much about front end(I hate doing visual design) so I can't go into much detail. Is there a better front-end language you recommend? Only other one I know at all is c# with blazor or winforms.

    The issue I see with jumping straight into c++ is it's so much to learn to do simple stuff. For example a lot of early programmers get confused with working with functions and what return values. I attended a boot camp through work for python(I knew programming hobby level but it gave me a pay raise). There were 12 students, 4 choose to do a selenium script to test a website as a final project, 1 did a script I think for tracking expenses and income but he did it all in main because he couldn't figure out arguments and return values from other functions. This was after 9 weeks, 5 days a week 8 hours a day, plus 4 days to develop the final project. Now throw in what a header file is and the difference between declaring a function and defining a function. It's a lot to start off with.

  • Planes have had "Ai" for decades, it was called autopilot. This is for air traffic controllers. They sit in the tower and basically coordinate all the traffic on around the airport. Why this is important, look at the crash at laguadia(airport in NYC I'm likely spelling wrong). Basically fire crew wanted to cross run towards an unrelated incident, plane wanted to land. Atc told fire crew they were clear and told the plane they were clear to land... On same runway. Plane crashed into water truck of fire crew causing severe damage to both vehicles. "luckily" only the 2 pilots of the plane lost their lives, it could of been so much worse.

    MAYBE I could see a use of Ai. Currently their are sensors to detect where planes and land vehicles are but imagine if an llm could interpret the talk on the comms and detect if two statements could result in a collision. Especially if there are multiple Atc officers active. Like Tom tells one plane to land on runway 22 and Lucy tells another plane to land on runway 22 and Tom and Lucy don't hear eachother. Or if a single officer tells a plane to land on runway 30 but they were 10 minutes out. A truck to refill the food/drinks asks to cross runway 30 when the plane is only 20 seconds out. I could see the Atc officer forgetting about the plane and granting clearance.

    Ai logs all these orders, reading the sensors for current situation and activates visual and audio alarms that two orders may conflict. Officer could tell the plane to go around, maybe cost some fuel and time for a false alarm but potentially save hundreds of lives. Maybe Ai doesn't detect conflicting orders and it's up to the human officers to notice. We are now in the same situation we are currently. Now, if you try to eliminate the human element and just rely on Ai people will die in many accidents.

  • I just moved just outside a major city in Texas. Me and my roommate decided to explore the city so we drove downtown, parked and just started walking around. We walked past a train station and there were people openly smoking weed wondering around the train station. This was in 2015, way before any weed legalization and it's still illegal in Texas.

    Now I don't care about people smoking weed, most are nice and at most will just ask if you have money, have weed, or are looking to buy weed. I don't even care if you do other drugs as long as you can handle it, know your limit and stay within it.

    What bothered me is across the street there were two police cars just watching. Standing out of their cars just watching. That means they didn't care about the low level weed crimes. They were there incase something larger went off. They were there in case of stabbings, shootings, mugging etc. I got out of there ASAP and never went back

  • Kinda but especially with extremely new, either python or Javascript is recommended. If they are absolutely new, scratch.

    1. I never mock those who are trying to learn.
    2. Why is he starting with c/c++? Yes they have uses but not as a starter just playing around.
    3. I struggled with this initially too cause I didn't understand why. Most people would say "give me the first object". In reality your requesting an offset * size of each item + list start.
