bruh had the weirdest experience doing statewide (im actually not even sure lol) benchmark tests, specifically the math one. so a huge portion of the test had a calculator button.... but the issue is that the calculator button literally connects to desmos.

either they dont know how powerful desmos is (i think they even nerfed it a little, i know that they blocked actions at least cuz thats one of the first things i tried) or they are just plain stupid, but i was able to solve every problem without using scratch paper at all, just by plugging in the equations to desmos

granted, the test would still be easy without desmos, but damn, desmos just made it a walk in the park... finished it in 10 or so minutes and just played video games the rest of the period

like dude they had this x and y equation and they asked for the value of x and y.... all i did was plot the exact equations they gave onto desmos and found the intersection point

oh and they had this other question with some complicated equation, and say find the x and y intercept, and u know what happen next.... ofc i plug that into desmos cuz im too lazy to actually do it lmfao

@lyxal should I make this my PFP

Me when

lmao

@Ginger sure

I'd put a foka on it but I think that'd detract from the quality

it would

> # Run job every hour at the 42rd minute

> 42rd

(from schedule.readthedocs.io/en/stable/examples.html)

23rd too

@Ginger while you're on my roof, watching the birds, could you perhaps do me a favour and chase them away

@lyxal why don't you just say that to yourself again

that way, it's a win-win situation

think real hard about it

@Ginger eh

I don't care

me when cardboard box

that's my box of shits I give

as you can see, it's empty.

@Ginger my brain literally stopped working the moment I see this image, I couldn’t imagine what had been done to my best cat niko

I've listened and watched so many steamed hams edits that the original now feels edited

Like the lines "localised entirely within your own kitchen?. Yes! May I see it? No." feel un-natural now despite being canon

and the timing of lines feels off too

too much unlimited steam + ytp

@Niko the skrunkly

@Ginger You didn't ask me, but I like it

@DLosc lol

finally.

I hate houghcircles and its fricking parameters.

circles

yes

hmm

There was a drive folder with character drawings somewhere, right?

I think so???

Found it!

double hmm

I'll try to identify stickmen by colour first

recognising objects is going to be harder

@mathscat Ooh nice!

@mathscat Important objects will probably be: diamonds, hats, guns, swords/knives, Lyxal's fridge, and orbs of Nitro/Github energy

@Niko Wait so your cat is named niko? And you're named niko? That sounds confusing :p

@RydwolfPrograms thx, noted

I'll do the latter :d

@RydwolfPrograms I assume the background colour is constant?

That'd make things a lot easier.

#fafafa IIRC

seems to be the case

How much data can you encode in a syllable?

I can think of 16 vowels:

father, cat, pain, set, mit, peek, coat, cow, boy, look, luck, fine, per, food,

And then idk, fork and part

I bet you could easily get 6-8 bits from the leading consonants

Also waft (same as off & loft)

Same as father for me

I count over 22000 unique syllables in a dictionary of english words

So easily 16 bits

Wait I cannot count

14 bits

wohoo

or

I'm gonna make a neural network with a 24-bit color input and a 192-bit output which is interpreted as ASCII. I'm going to train it with thousands of colors and their names (e.g., tons of different reds and greens and grays, and some rarer colors too, like all the CSS ones). Then I'll give it other colors and invent new color names

interesting

I'll use a genetic algorithm 'cause no way am I learning backpropagation rn

Why can't they add the other directions?

How silly to only come with one direction of arrow

@RydwolfPrograms sounds like it's the result of SE only giving you one shot at choosing your name every 30 days
