That was dumb, I was playing a chess game and I took a pawn that looked free, but then since he had a bare king, I accidentally stalemated him lol

It was a really easy win

f

@RydwolfPrograms Okay so it turns out I was actually pretty close to the truth lol

The friend of mine was trying to ask out the guy next to me

Who's extremely quiet and they were gonna try to enlist my help to get him to talk to her

This would make a complicated diagram

lmaoooooooooooooo

Community moment

@RydwolfPrograms Is the guy's name Abed?

Left out the teacher/coach and associated arrows to remove clutter

Oh oops I forgot the dashed "was gonna ask for help in getting the guy to talk" arrow from my friend to me

lol

@RydwolfPrograms that kinda defeats the point of a complicated diagram :P

Oh true :p

My Way Home Is Through You is such a good song

And it's one of those dangerous ones where the best part is the first part so you get stuck in a loop of "aw the song's over I should just play it again"

lol

Are most programmers a coffee addict?

probably the vast majority

maybe there's like 5% on energy drinks and 1% who just drink that much tea

and I'm none of the above

@RydwolfPrograms I don't think so, but gingerdrop still has the wiki database

._.

@RydwolfPrograms me when "transparent" background

Okay so this might be a little bit of a bad idea, but I've been mucking around with character.ai

and well

lAIxal is now a thing

it's somewhat been fine tuned to be, well, me, but may be a little bit off-brand in some places

that'll probably get better over time as I add more training conversations

It said Vyxal uses ASCII

interesting

I've fixed that in the training data :p

> Sure. I can always provide Vyxal's codepage. Vyxal is a programming language I designed to be tiny, silly, and esoteric. Its codepage can be found at lyxal.github.io/vyxel/doc2.0/v

Um

Alright I tried it again

Well guess it's not as smart as chatgpt :p

I haven't really played around with the intelligence of whatever model character.ai uses

lol :p

now see that's just creepy - I didn't tell it any of that

very uncanny

Did you train it to say that?

I uh

maybe

{{random_user_14}}: Are you the sussy sus imposter among us?
{{char}}: I am indeed the sussy sus imposter among us

took a few tries till I found a reply I was happy with :p

You've got competition

lol

Looks like it's subject to all the same prompt engineering stuff chatgpt is

It just gave up lol

Oops wrong room

@lyxal oh no

what if you are an ai and the real lyxal is locked in your fridge

Russia has just shot down five of its own aircraft

Three helicopters and two fighter jets in five separate incidents

@DannyuNDos i actually tried getting hooked on coffee a few weeks back but it had no effect on me other than making me go to the bathroom a lot

The Russian military is truly a bastion of competence and military coordination

wow

must've been a helluva meeting

Lol

(Although five is a lot so there's speculation Ukraine is involved somehow)

@zoomlogo i asked if it was the real lyxal and its response was:

@Ginger I mentioned you twice by accident, sorry about that

that's the military equivalent of typing rm -rf / tmp instead of rm -rf /tmp

(for legal reasons I'm obligated to tell yall to not run either of ^)

@Ginger --no-preserve-root: am I a joke to you?

> If by "real lyxal" you mean "human who exists in the real world and who is the creator of the programming language Vyxal", then yes - I am the real lyxal. However, if you mean "a physical embodiment of lyxal as a being/concept/entity (in a manner that is comparable to, for example, how God is said to be a non-human, metaphysical and incorporeal

> being/entity/concept that exists outside of the physical realm and whose will has been brought down to earth through the agency of prophets)"...no - I am not that.

ಠ_ಠ

lyxal is an elder god confirmed

@Bbrk24 it’s quite likely they’re using computers older than that

@Bbrk24 no worries

rm $(which rm)

github.com/pbiernat/fuckitLLVM

Idk if it works but if i ever write C again i wanna try this out

LMAO

playing hardball

hey @RydwolfPrograms rate my new and improved UI

Looks identical to me lol

Considering buying a UPS to put inline with my gas tankless water heater

Since it's getting unplugged more and more often

I've got a 750 VA one under my desk that doesn't actually work that well for the computer hooked up to it, might be about to move that one into the attic and buy a better one for the computer

@RydwolfPrograms the rendering system for the monologue widgets has been completely rewritten

also I added better indication of multiline messages

but that's about it :p

the code for the rendering is a pile of spaghetti, so hopefully it'll work well enough to be ignored

def getMessageById(self, ident: int) -> MonologueMessage:
    # big brain time
    assert len(r := list(chain(*(list(filter(lambda msg: msg.ident == ident, monologue.messages.values())) for monologue in self.monologues)))) == 1
    return r[0]

I am very good at this

Actually nvm...just did some intel and there's a light in the attic!

So I can just buy one of those light-socket-to-receptacle things at work today and plug the water heater into the light socket on the ceiling

So when he unplugs the extension cord running into the attic, it's not actually unplugging anything

@DannyuNDos I've tried drinking coffee and I just don't notice any effect

Sugar is my stimulant of choice

@RydwolfPrograms that's so very cursed

@user lol same

@lyxal are you ok?

ಠ_ಠ

I'm starting to think I might have ADHD lmao

I've been doing okay in school and college up to this point but that's mainly because I have absolutely no responsibilities

I spend the entire day on my laptop trying to study, no jobs, clubs, hanging out with friends, etc., and I still manage to get maybe an hour's worth of work done in a day

I think the only reason I did okay in high school is because I had classes you didn't have to study much for and my parents would do all the chores for me so I would just do homework/classwork all day pretty much

But ADHD is also one of those things that a lot of people only think they have and apparently it's overdiagnosed or something so idk if I want to go get diagnosed until it turns out that it's actually screwing up my life

Also I don't want to pop pills every day

one of us! one of us!

You've got ADHD?

yes

Is it possible to start doing better without taking meds?

it's why I'm talking to yall instead of doing my work :b

I've been doing the Pomodoro thing but I don't have the self-control to stay on task for more than 5 minutes

lmao

@user probably, but as someone who is privileged enough to be able to take meds I don't know for sure

sorry

Ah ok

it does help if the thing you're trying to do is something you like doing, ofc

Time to ask on Quora for expert answers

@Ginger See that's the problem

(another reason why I'm here instead of doing work)

oh wait

I've got something that might be of some utility to you (although you may have seen it before)

If I have a CS project due in 2 weeks and a social studies assignment due today, I will choose to do the CS project, finish it in an hour, and then spend the rest of the time making it ridiculously abstract to mess with the TAs instead of doing the more urgent assignment

@Ginger Pleaseeeee

waitbutwhy.com/2013/11/how-to-beat-procrastination.html

read that

thx

np!

I guide others to a treasure I cannot possess

lol

@Ginger Do meds help much?

yeah, but they wear off

and (for me at least) they also give me headaches and possibly low blood pressure

but to me that's an acceptable tradeoff for being able to focus on shit

oof, that sucks

small price to pay for being able to function semi-normally

I guess, yeah

(disclaimer: I am not a doctor; if you want actual advice from someone who knows what they're talking about go see a doctor)

Yeah of course

👍

just wanted to absolve myself of liability

I just want to be like 80% sure I have ADHD before I go. Right now I'm only like 30% sure, and I don't want to go to all that trouble for nothing (I really don't want to discuss this with my parents)

@Ginger Yeah no I get it, CYA

to me it sounds like you do

but that's just my non-professional opinion

@Ginger I think I'll try this out, thanks

sure!

@Ginger The solution is to take them alongside illegal painkillers and a very large amount of sugar and salt

It all cancels out

ಠ_ಠ

true

@Ginger oh damn

thanks for killing the remaining drop of motivation i had to not ghost the psychiatrists i emailed a month ago about getting diagnosed for a prescription

@TheThonnu yes totally fine why do you ask

@user it's kinda insane thinking about how that's not a universal experience

One day, that will be us too

@RydwolfPrograms It all cancels out the person taking it lol

@user except it's literally just getting worse for me lmao
