The browser's the main focus of chromebooks (hence the name), but they work mostly fine without it (and you can even install firefox if you really want to :p)

What are the different ways mods can lock a post?

Like, there are historical locks and comment-only locks, but there are more IIRC

Annoyingly, can't find anything about it on MSE

lyxal

I frick you not, someone in my zoom lecture is using a bread filter

user

...How does that even work? Is it just a picture of bread, or is the bread moving/has eyes, etc.?

lyxal

11:17 PM

> bread moving/has eyes

it's cursed af

even more cursed than the C++ we'll be learning today

user

lmao

@lyxal My condolences

lyxal

mmmm heaps and stacks

fun

user

Now go back to work, goofing off in TNB during my French class is how I got a B last semester

Redwolf Programs

With most languages you learn how to make your code more readable with time. With C++, you seem to learn how to write the most obscure garbage possible.

user

I think you're confusing that with Perl :P

lyxal

11:19 PM

@user no

caird coinheringaahing

I think you're confusing that with ~~JavaScript~~ ~~Jelly~~ ~~Python~~ any programming language :P

lyxal

@user I've taken an exam while chatting here

I've been in math workshops chatting here

user

Ah, so you failed your class and got punished with C++, eh? :P

Bubbler

Chatting here is definitely the best way to concentrate on something

lyxal

@user jokes on you because I actually got a HD in all courses ;p

Redwolf Programs

11:20 PM

I got 4k

user

High Definition?

lyxal

@user High Distinction

user

Nice

Don't do drugs during your distinction next time, though

hyper-neutrino

@cairdcoinheringaahing questions: content dispute, comments only, historical, wiki | answers: content dispute, comments only, wiki answer

lyxal

Oh no. People have our lecturer as their zoom background now

hyper-neutrino

11:21 PM

not exactly sure why i can't lock an answer as historical

or why i can lock an answer as wiki

Bubbler

What even is a wiki lock

caird coinheringaahing

What this should be

Essentially when a question has a single "canonical" answer where new contributions should be edited into that rather than posted as answers

(there are other uses of it, but that's the intended one IIRC)

user

Has it ever been used?

caird coinheringaahing

Yes network wide, but I can't remember if it's been used here

Bubbler

So a wiki lock prevents adding new answers but allows other interactions (editing existing posts/comment/etc)?

caird coinheringaahing

11:24 PM

Yes

Bubbler

Cool

caird coinheringaahing

Example

user

@lyxal Heh, in my classes, most of just had blank screens and there was just one kid with a cat filter. Would've been nice to see a bread filter

hyper-neutrino

you cannot comment

user

So just editing?

caird coinheringaahing

11:27 PM

And voting and flagging

lyxal

one person just has their background/video as the lecturer's video

this is the most cursed zoom

user

@lyxal In realtime? :o

lyxal

@user correct

caird coinheringaahing

Zoom needs a way to have the current zoom call as the background :P

user

11:28 PM

@lyxal How'd they do it?

lyxal

@user idk

I'm one of those mic and video off people

user

@cairdcoinheringaahing It'd be even cooler if that person's video is visible in the video, so you get an infinite thingy

lyxal

@user so I don't know much about filters/changing stuff

user

@lyxal I expected you to be one of the rickroll-as-video-background people

caird coinheringaahing

@user Yeah, that's what I meant :P

Redwolf Programs

11:29 PM

@user At zoom's resolution that'd go about one recursion level deep :p

user

Ah, fair enough

GPT-3 is smart (Prompt is in quotes):

“JavaScript is really cursed.” We all know that. It’s just that the problem is not in the language itself, but in the people who use it. I’m not going to get into this. All I’m going to say is that you should always think twice before writing a new library for JavaScript. It might be the next jQuery.

What you should do instead?

Compile it to JavaScript!

caird coinheringaahing

GPT-3 is enlightened

user

Guys, I wrote a compiler for JS! x=>x

Bubbler

11:33 PM

Almost anything compiles to JS (or something JS can run) these days

lyxal

this is literally us right now

caird coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino Because if you lock a question as wiki, you can still comment on the answer

user

Such diagram. Very understanding. Wow

Redwolf Programs

x=>eval(x.toString().replace(/\/\/.*|\/\*.*?\*\//g, "")) removes comments from a JS function (will break if there's strings)

caird coinheringaahing

@lyxal Codidact missed an opportunity to call themselves HeapExchange :P

Bubbler

11:37 PM

@cairdcoinheringaahing Except that there's no heap overflow, it's just an OutOfMemoryException

caird coinheringaahing

That's a fun site name :P

Bubbler

OutOfMemory could actually work, because we search for something that's out of our memory :P

user

Java vibes

lyxal

> yo dawg can I get some memory?
only a stackful
*pulls out comically large heap*

GPT-3: ”Yo dawg, I heard you like” UI design so we put UI design in your UI design so you can UI while you UI

lyxal

@AaronMiller I see your UI design and raise you a "Yo dawg, I heard you like U-Turns, so I put a U-Turn in your U-Turn so you can make U-Turns while you make U-Turns."

@AaronMiller what model are you using?

Aaron Miller

Davinci

lyxal

nice

Aaron Miller

11:50 PM

I see your U-turns and raise you a ”Yo dawg, I heard you like” mods, so we put a mod in your mod so you can mod while you mod."

Curie doesn't make the same funny joke

Yo dawg, I heard you like Beyoncé.”

“That’s right,” he said. “I do.”

“You ever make it to her house?” I asked.

“No, I never got an invite,” he said.

user

The models have names?

@lyxal That's sad

lyxal

@user there's Ada, Babbage, Curie and Davinci

Davinci is the most powerful, Curie is Davinci but a bit less powerful but cheaper, Babbage is idk because I never use it and Ada is the least powerful

Aaron Miller

@lyxal I was surprised; it only took 4 days to get approved for it.

user

Powerful? Like, it's trained on less data?

Aaron Miller

11:52 PM

maths also got approved today.

user

@AaronMiller It probably took lyxal a month because he kept rickrolling them :P

lyxal

no, powerful as in davinci is more likely to let you have creativity while ada just classifies stuff

Yo dawg, I heard you like pork. Got any pork for my brotha?"

"Man, you can't just go around asking people if they got pork for you. That's rude. I don't have any pork for you," I said, trying to be nice and polite.

"Man, I'm going to have to ask you to step outside now. I don't know if you've noticed, but it's a little late to be horsing around in the streets in a hood like this. You know what your problem is, man? You just don't know how to take a joke. You're an ass for not laughing.

Ah

**Are you a sussy baka?”**

“You are a stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, sissy, baka! In fact, you’re the stupidest, stupidest, stupidest, stupidest, stupidest, sissy, baka I’ve ever met!”

“I’m the stupidest, stupidest, stupidest, stupidest, stupidest, sissy, baka you’ve ever met.”

that's with davinci

user

lol, it autocorrected sussy to sissy

I wonder why they chose Curie instead of, say, Curry. The first two are definitely big names in the history of computing

lyxal

@AaronMiller did you know that you can do js to python using your new toy?

user

11:55 PM

@Bubbler I think Curry's not as well known as Curie

I find it weird that they used Ada and not someone whose last name started with an "A"

@user I only found out about the guy because of Haskell the language

Bubbler

Well, kind of. Haskell Curry is a big name but not many people are aware that Haskell is the name of that guy and "curry" as in currying also comes from him

Aaron Miller

@lyxal I did not, but I did something else cool earlier.

4 hours ago, by Aaron Miller

Apparently gpt-3 knows python.

"Write a python program to find the product of two numbers."

Answer: Python Product (Lines)

a=int(input("Enter the first number: ")) b=int(input("Enter the second number: ")) print (a*b)

lyxal

@AaronMiller it also wrote a factorial and max function once

check out the edge of propinquity

Aaron Miller

Nice

Prompt: “Hey Lyxal, guess who just got access to gpt-3?”

“What?”

“You.”

“How do I use it?”

“You don’t.”

“What?”
