I now know everything I need to know about your golflang rydwolf
you can't keep your secrets hidden from me :p
 
I was actually curious how much you could infer about the rest of the image using an AI image thing and I guess that's my answer :p

that's what claude gives me
 
Did you write TYP0 as TYPO in that code block?
 
no
claude extracted text from the image
 
ah
surprised it can't handle dotted zeroes (or maybe it can but the surrounding context made it believe too strongly it'd be the word "typo")

If we include 3 in the diagram Conway drew, the diagonals excluding duplicates are:

- 9 (obviously not prime)
- 21 (also obviously not prime)
- 49 (looks square, as Conway said), 33 (obviously a multiple of 11)
- 39 (two digits that're multiples of three), 77 (obviously a multiple of 11, as Conway said)
- 51, 91, 121
- 57

This leaves 51 as a potential prime lookalike that could trip up anyone who hasn't encountered it before, 57 as Grothendieck was tricked by, and finally 91 which is the first that could trip up someone with multiple-of-3 automaticity
I was once as a young child fooled by 39, so that's another easy-mode prime lookalike
The nice thing about having an uncommon and short name is that sometimes you get really lucky with account usernames
My CMU ID is just "rtosh"
And my Dell email was just "ryan.tosh"
 
r/tosh
How can I be certain?
I'm lyxal
 
1:20 AM
@lyxal This article really seems to misunderstand right-to-be-forgotten
 
@RydwolfPrograms whooooa
nice
i had to choose my own unc onyen and the minimum length is 8 ;_;
 
@RydwolfPrograms can confirm 51 fooled me
 
any multiple of a prime > 11 feels weird so long as all the other factors are 3 or greater, even if they're tiny and easily recognized like 3
and anything > 27 with a 7 in it
i don't even want to say it's just composite numbers that feel at risk of being mistaken for prime because i also really have a hard time remembering that 37 is prime and have for my whole life
 
@UnrelatedString Yeah 87 definitely feels prime to me
 
ooh yeah 87's another weird case like 57 where it has a 7 in it and the digit sum for multiple of 3 testing is two digits
 
1:47 AM
i dont have any opinion on the opanai collab tbh
it happened; ok, its not like theyre changing the site without consulting us again
the worst that can happen is my posts getting stolen for training purposes, and frankly, i dont care
 
and we don't even know what the collab entails
@Seggan chances are that they already are
 
what i got from the announcement is that its easier/"more legal" now
 
I mean anything on the internet has probably been used for training LLMs right
 
OpenAI could be doing anything from just RAG stuff to retraining
no one knows
 
^^^
 
1:50 AM
(IMO it's not unethical in any way to train LLMs off of stuff taken from the internet tho. Should I pay a royalty to my friend for every time I use an expression I learned from them?)
 
I believe the tensions boil down to attribution
and the contract that exists between us users and SE
at least that's what I make of the long discussions I've seen about this collab
 
@RydwolfPrograms agree. if you post stuff on the internet anyone can see it anyway
@lyxal thats a general LLM problemo that has nothing to do with SE
 
Yeah but it's the partnership that's the concern
That SE is engaging with people where there's attribution problems

Massive shoutout to cp -rt for sitting still for a couple minutes straight when it was only like 16gb of files, then I check and it didn't do anything whatsoever and I use rsync and it takes 30s
 
4:15 AM
 
what the actual fuck it copied the folder into the other folder
Bug in the NTFS driver maybe?
idk
Explains why it was 105 GB
 
@l4m2 reminds me of wavelength

I think if you're copying the contents of a folder then use cp -rt foo/ bar

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

l4m2Given a function f: N->N and non-negative integer n, output integer k s.t. f(f(...f(n)..)) (repeat k times) = 0, or some non-natural number if no k exist. You can assume f is bounded, i.e. there's some number M s.t. for each n, f(n)<M. code-golf

Q: *Trivial* near-repdigit perfect powers

BubblerTask Output the sequence that precisely consists of the following integers in increasing order: the 2nd and higher powers of 10 (\$10^i\$ where \$i \ge 2\$), the squares of powers of 10 times 2 or 3 (\$(2\times 10^i)^2\$ and \$(3\times 10^i)^2\$ where \$i \ge 1\$), and the cubes of powers of 10 ...

 
good lord that's a lot of pinned messages
 
lol
 
We can probably get rid of the SO jobs thing, it's a complete joke
 
CMC Given a number N, output if there exist two numbers A >=2 and B >=2 such that A * B mod N = 1
Alternatively, output the sequence of numbers that have this property
 
7:19 AM
That should be every integer, otherwise you've just invented a formula for primes
 
A=B=N+1
 
^
 
Oops A and B should be <N too
 
Then A=B=N-1
 
Hmmm
 
7:24 AM
to satisfy A,B>=2, that's the set of all integers >= 3
 
CMC Given a number N, output if there exist two integers 2 <= A <= N - 2 and B any integer such that A * B mod N = 1
 
now that's an interesting question
 
6 should be the first integer not in the list
and 1 I guess
 
also 4
 
True
I had a hypothesis about what patterns this would follow but 4 breaks it
 
7:28 AM
if A is coprime to N, multiplicative inverse of A exists, which is precisely B
so the question is to check if some integer in [2, N-2] is coprime to N
and I think the answer is every positive integer except 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 (2, 3 excluded because the interval is empty)
specifically, A = smallest prime that does not divide N should work
 
@totallyhuman SE has been busy lately :p
 
The origin of this question was to find all the polygons for which it is impossible to draw a star as a single connected curve
 
How do you define a star?
single connected curve = Eulerian path?
 
CMC Given numbers N and M, output if there exist two integers 2 <= A <= B <= M such that A * B mod N = 1
Seems no longer some too simple rule
 
time to pull out O(M) inverse table algorithm
or does it not work for N composite :/
 
7:44 AM
In geometry, a generalized polygon can be called a polygram, and named specifically by its number of sides. All polygons are polygrams, but can also include disconnected sets of edges, called a compound polygon. For example, a regular pentagram, {5/2}, has 5 sides, and the regular hexagram, {6/2} or 2{3}, has 6 sides divided into two triangles. A regular polygram {p/q} can either be in a set of regular star polygons (for gcd(p,q) = 1, q > 1) or in a set of regular polygon compounds (if gcd(p,q) > 1). == Etymology == The polygram names combine a numeral prefix, such as penta-, with the Greek suffix...
 
I'm pretty sure that every star of that kind has Eulerian circuit
 
If you exclude polygrams that are also polygons then not 3, 4, 6
 
hmm, so it matters whether a star exists at all

@l4m2 isn't that every angle
 
@Ginger yeah this is something that's a thing in a lot of places around SE lately
the paranoia about it hitting pldi is real :p
I have CHQ, The Garbage Collector, and the flags page all open in anticipation

@lyxal wonderful :|
 
2:50 PM
@jan It is unclear what you mean by "most problems".
 
jan
oh well
 
There are infinitely many possible problems. Most languages (TC or not) can also solve infinitely many.
Some infinities are larger than others, but it quickly becomes a theoretical mathematics question rather than a practical programming language question.
Oh, and if we are strict, a PL cannot be TC because the observable universe is finite.

I’d assume it was a mistake and comment something along the lines of β€œyou appear to have posted the same answer twice”
 
Do you think my comment will be taken as very negative?
 
10:00 PM
i've done the same thing by mistake
i'm pretty sure there was a bug with a race condition because i was editing while having intermittent internet connection

My work blocked stackoverflow.jobs as High Risk, so I'm sure they're confident in staff retention

Guys it's over I'm so delusional
 
hi so delusional, I'm Ginger!
 
11:10 PM
She's texted me to wish me luck before every AP exam I've taken and we're talking about our cats and number theory
How can I not be delusional
Like maybe she's just being friends with me...but agh this is the same thing I've run into twice already
Where I guess that that's the case because I don't want to read too much into it and make any assumptions
 
In my experience, it's impossible to know for sure
My wife was flirting with me all through high-school and I never noticed
 
Idek think I'm that bad at reading people's feelings toward me this one girl just completely short circuits that part of my brain
'Cause the lore like
First time this happened I was eventually almost certain she liked me (why else would she stay up until 4 AM talking to me), and turns out she did, but someone asked her to homecoming first and she said yes 'cause she couldn't tell if I was ever going to figure it out and she also had kinda liked this other guy before me
 
I would suggest shooting your shot, invite them to a private event with them, (Movie, dinner, mutually enjoyed hobby), and see how it goes?
 
yeah idk what to say :p
 
Then this guy just completely lost interest and they broke up, and we were at the same situation (I'd started calling her at 4 AM every morning to do homework with her when she'd wake up insanely early), then her grandpa died and ofc that completely disrupted things
 
11:17 PM
yikes
 
Then after that was all over (there was a lot of miscommunication that led to us both thinking the other person didn't want to talk to each other), I actually did ask her out kinda out of the blue and she said she'd lost interest then some other guy asked her out not long after (who she kinda hinted she didn't like all that much but I didn't know they broke up until recently)
@ATaco yeah, maybe. First time around she couldn't drive yet and her parents are pretty strict so she couldn't really do anything with me (as friends or not), but things are a bit different so mayve
 
(Aforementioned wife asked me out three times before I actually got the hint)
Relationship stuff is hard, that's why I write code.
Huh, TIL the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm.
