I solved Semantle #63 in 25 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 20.38. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #18. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 39.27 (976/1000). semantle.novalis.org

nice

Aiden Chow

i got so lucky there lmfao

i literally only have 5 top 1000 words, not including the solution

Unrelated String

i've had 976 for the last 25 guesses

and cannot think of anywhere further to take it lmao

Aiden Chow

@UnrelatedString is that ur highest guess?

Unrelated String

993 is

i've also had 986 since guess 18

Aiden Chow

01:40

@UnrelatedString hmm 993 was also one of my top 1000

Unrelated String

nice

I solved Semantle #63 in 135 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 6.34. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #16. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 34.93 (949/1000). semantle.novalis.org

nice!

thanks

seeing your results got me off the 985 route lmao

Aiden Chow

@UnrelatedString lolol why tf is that even on there???

i feel like i should be able to think of how but i can't

i feel lucky that i didnt get misled down that path :P

like you'd have the phrase spoiler, but i can't think of when you'd broadly have a context that either would be in

i guess maybe i just don't know what kind of distances word2vec works over lol

Aiden Chow

my path was pretty straightforward, it was spoiler

okay spoiler

im looking through the top 1000 list rn, and im starting to realize how many red herrings i completely dodged lmaoooooooo

hey guys I think there's something wrong with me. For a brief moment just now I thought that the javascript type cohesion system made sense.

also,

no, youtube, Portal is not J-pop

the cake may be a lie, but your classification of its genre is

Wait why is the list returned by document.getElementsByClassName updated whenever an item with the specified class is removed/added?

e.g:

var selected = document.getElementsByClassName("selected");
var count = selected.length;
for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
    selected[i].classList.remove("selected");
    console.log(selected)
}

Radvylf Programs

It's an HTML element collection thingy, not an array

Unrelated String

most of what my friends are subjected to in voice calls is j-pop
my friends have also been subjected to portal radio looped for 3 hours on voice calls
so looking at it that way, the chances of portal music being j-pop aren't too bad

lyxal

@UnrelatedString there's only one song in the playlist that could even be remotely considered j-pop

the rest is portal/undertale/deltarune

and that one vaporwave song everyone knows

@RadvylfPrograms but I still wouldn't expect it to keep track of all references at all times

all these years and this is the first time I'm realising this

Radvylf Programs

Yeah, I had no idea it did that

lyxal

04:39

like I know it's'n't a normal array (because it doesn't have nice functional programming stuff available) but this is just wack

PyGamer0

if there is an J-Pop, K-Pop, and it implies that there is an APL-Pop, there must be a BQN-Pop

Unrelated String

if it's a view instead of a list then it only makes sense that it accesses whatever stores elements-indexed-by-class under the hood
but in that case it's kind of questionable to put get in the name lmao

is there anything stopping it from just letting you write imports inside the same <% ... %>

lyxal

idk that's just how it's taught

Unrelated String

or are those imports only scoped within that <% ... %>

lyxal

I wouldn't think so

because saves, game, username and errors are global

Unrelated String

no i mean if you didn't use @page

and imported in the same block

PyGamer0

@lyxal wait so is that java inside of html?

I just found the best way to remember one triad of Dobereiner's law of Triads.

The triad is Li | Na | K, it sounds like Linux when you pronounce it.

Magma cubes are the worst

Large ones are quite possibly the deadliest mob in the nether...

emanresu A

Only works with slimes

(tiny slimes can't hurt you, tiny magma cubes can )

TIL typescript's kinda smart

If you do something like shape instanceof Rectangle && shape.width < 5 (where shape is known to possibly be a Rectangle) typescript won't throw any compilation errors.

Unrelated String

nice

lyxal

06:30

@emanresuA isn't that just how normal inheritance/polymorphism works?If shape instanceof rectangle returns true, that means that its inherited the same as rectangle somewhere

emanresu A

It's more that typescript notices that shape must be a Rectangle for the second clause to be evaluated

@lyxal if that was true then the message wouldn't have referred to a file in a subdirectory

todo.append("make a userscript to revert the appearance of SE question lists back to original")

alllllllllrighty, I have an idea

so

I have a few microcontrollers that run on Adafruit CircuitPython

and sometimes I download other peoples' code and put it on them

but what if that person updates their code and I don't realise?

so what I will do is make a Python program that acts kinda like a script manager for microcontrollers

when you connect a mc (they show up as USB flash drives with your code on them) it will check if the current script is out of date, and if it is it notifies you somehow and updates it for you

this is a very good idea

she makes even the most interesting topics boring

Dorknoob

16:14

Ugh

I had a teacher like that. She just assigned us labs (made by other people) and showed videos (made by other people) and occasionally showed presentations (made by other people). When she left for two months because of medical complications, it didn't feel like anything had changed

same here

Dorknoob

Too few teachers carefully plan out their lesson plans, post everything on Canvas, and make sure everyone's prepared for tests and stuff

I have a math teacher whose classes everyone wants to take, but it's more because his classes are complete chaos and he doesn't actually teach anything than because he's actually a good teacher

ophact

chaos, as in?

Dorknoob

Like, he always runs out of time, occasionally just goes "wait, I'm wrong" and goes back like to some step from 5 minutes back, goes on random tangents

Also, he occasionally jumps, says "Whoo!" a lot, stuff like that. Reminds me of a friend I had who had ADHD

And when someone asks him a question he doesn't want to answer, he's like "okay let's push on"

ophact

Wow that does sound familiar

When I was beginning to learn German, a lot of the students in the class asked the teacher questions about grammar, and then she was like "Nah, we'll study that next year." It got really annoying

and she is also one of the few people capable of making me sleepy

even more so than the "answer these questions" teacher.
