> Data (plural never singular) can represent a plethora of things. In many cases, it depends on perspective. As one completes this AP course, they will understand that one piece of data could mean something else. However, error can happen.
The irony of having a pluralization typo in the same paragraph you're all prescriptivist about pluralization

Q: Find the rule of a cellular automaton

alephalphaThere are already many challenges where you are given a cellular automaton rule and an initial state and you have to find the state after a certain number of steps. This challenge is the opposite: you are given the states of a pattern in several consecutive steps, and you need to find the rule of...

4:49 AM
omg guys my friend from work (the girl I was talking about last night), she's gonna crochet me a beanie in exchange for the laptop I won from Dell that I don't need :D
 
*this morning
 
That's the one >:|
lol
But yeah financially a questionable trade, but having something handmade from a friend when I'm in college 2000 miles away is gonna be so nice
I have AP Microecon and AP Stats tomorrow and I dropped stats halfway through the year and have never taken microecon so this is gonna be fun
I really need a 5 on micro tho, since if I don't get one my macro score doesn't count for credit either at CMU
 
as you wish
@RydwolfPrograms also, this is like that time SE traded it's laptop (answer information) to OpenAI for a beanie (access to GPT models)
a similar financially questionable trade :p
 
5:18 AM
I'm actually feeling pretty confident for microecon now
It might just be the tiredness giving me temporary delusions of competence given I absolutely suck at econ
But probably not I'll be fiiiiine
 
@RydwolfPrograms nice, on the other hand i am not feeling so confident about the ap chem test i just took
 
Ooh you took chem too?
 
especially since i took ap gov and ap chem back to back
 
SAME!
Brain is mushy
 
my hand hurt after that ngl
 
5:29 AM
What'd you get for the N2O question
 
@RydwolfPrograms r we even allowed to discuss it before the frqs are publicly released?
 
Technically not ig
 
Oh yeah we both have our real names on our accounts lol
Nothing to see here college board
 
LOL
anyways i completely forgot about alloys but i guessed that one question right without knowing anything about it so thats cool
 
5:31 AM
Oh nice
I'm actually feeling pretty confident on chem, it took me ages to start getting it but around the time we got to equilibrium it started clicking
 
titration kicked my ass as usual :(
 
For like a semester I felt like I knew less about chem than I did before taking the class lol
So many exams :|
 
@RydwolfPrograms yea i felt like this but umm the feeling kinda persisted through the entire year
@RydwolfPrograms geez good luck
 
Thanks, I'm gonna need it lol
 
damn u have back to back tests on so many days lol
 
5:34 AM
Especially for the ones tomorrow, at least stats is curved like crazy
You can get 2/4 points on every single FRQ and still get a 5 with a 75% on the MCQs
 
also u have ur high school name in the screenshot if that wasnt intentional
 
Nah idc anymore, it won't be my high school anymore in about three weeks :p
 
@RydwolfPrograms LMAO nice
 
Haven't thought much about graduation
My family wants some sorta dinner with me so I've been nudging them toward this really good seafood place lol
My roommates are ALL allergic to and/or have sensory issues with seafood
I miss fish and shrimp and stuff so much
Except salmon
Fuck salmon all my homies hate salmon
 
@RydwolfPrograms damn thats a crazy curve, kinda like the physics c curves lmao
 
5:38 AM
Yup, I skipped a whole FRQ on physics C mech and still got a 5 lol
 
thats insane lol
 
Whoa TIL (accidentally) about the Win+Shift+C PowerToys color picker command for Windows
That's so useful
Hopefully I get a 5 on E&M too, I'd like to do some ECE stuff at CMU
 
@RydwolfPrograms bro i took a glance at e&m and that shit looks hard
like the calculus shenanigans
 
Yeah there's some weird calc stuff in there I think
 
"I think"??
 
5:42 AM
I studied the first half of so of it one morning, gonna have to find time for the rest before Tuesday
 
flux hurts my brain
 
brainflux
 
@RydwolfPrograms wat
 
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
 
wait
so
u didnt learn it at all or what
how tf
 
5:42 AM
I'm self-studying
 
yea but
kinda last minute dont ya think lol
 
I pulled an all-nighter by accident (couldn't sleep idk why) and for some reason at like 5:30 AM during a thunderstorm inspiration struck and the caffeine and sleep deprivation combined to give me superhuman study skills
So I'm just gonna artificially reconstruct that scenario
 
@RydwolfPrograms good luck creating the thunderstorm
 
@RydwolfPrograms is that not how you usually study
 
@AidenChow Lightning is just E&M on a larger scale if you think about it
 
5:46 AM
quite a large scale i must say
 
That's where unit 9 of AP Chemistry comes in
 
electrochem lolol
i think i bombed that part of the test ngl
idk how to get the net ionic from that one question
i did some bs
but its probably wrong
 
ooh wait I don't think I did a net ionic
I think I wrote it as a full equation :|
 
rip
 
Oh well, just minus one lol
 
5:50 AM
it also asked for the ecell of the net ionic and im like bruh wtf i dont even know how to get net ionic so i just got double fucked over
 
Error-carried-forward might save you
 
and then it asked another question based on the ecell u got from that part and im just like wtffff
@RydwolfPrograms maybe, its a whole bunch of bs i put on that page
i like added the two equations and balanced or smth, i dont even remember anymore
 
Now we just wait til July lol
 
yea
stressful
also for ap gov i wrote a terrible essay lol
 
I think mine was decent, I never feel like I know how well I did on those tho
 
5:55 AM
@RydwolfPrograms i barely knew what to write :skull:
the other frqs i think i did fine thos
tho*
 
My gov teacher was awful
 
oh
rip
 
Only class I've gotten a C on a test in, and it was every single test. He'd take MCQs from college board and make the answer key himself and make it wrong
Wasn't in class often enough to bother trying to fix it tho
 
damn
 
Like I'm the future president of the united states (vote tosh 2052) and this guy's giving me 70s on us gov tests
4
 
5:57 AM
so like u just tanking in ur ap gov course or what
 
yeah
Luckily he gives out a ton of extra credit to offset it
 
oh nice
almost none of my ap teachers give extra credit
 
i'm pretty sure calc is the only ap i actually took a class in versus self studying
and i think there was a bit of extra credit but for the most part it just wasn't difficult
 
my ap calc had no extra credit but honestly it wasnt too bad so it wouldnt have been needed anyways
 
6:25 AM
Okay, I guess I'm at the point where the amount of studying I can do may not make up for the sleep I'll lose so good night o/
 
@RydwolfPrograms good night
good luck
 
7:22 AM
@RydwolfPrograms that's just Muphry's Law in action
 
7:36 AM
CMQ How many ways to swap two elements of {1,2,3,4,5,6} for 6!-1 times to cover all permutations of {1,2,3,4,5,6}?
 
8:06 AM
that sounds impossible to count
 
How many than 6 is possible to count?
 
2 -> 1, 3 -> idk already
 
3 -> 12
1 2 3
1 3 2 (*3)
3 1 2 (*2)
3 2 1; 2 1 3
2 3 1; 2 3 1
2 1 3; 3 2 1
 
just got it too
 
8:26 AM
you're going to get a multiple of n! anyway
 
some search shows that one can quickly calculate the number of Hamiltonian cycles on certain graphs via group theory, like ams.org/journals/mcom/2014-83-286/S0025-5718-2013-02741-X/…
idk group theory tho
also probably cycle != path in the problem we have
 
Is 4 sum of the two S? pastebin.com/w8jNxX8c
@Bubbler This is BIPARTITE but paper doesn't explicitly give complexity
 
9:22 AM
4 => 2272301568

Hey maybe now that OpenAI has access to overflowapi chatgpt can get better at code golf
And maybe it could also suggest golflang features for me
Save a lot of time and effort :p

I'm in the lobby for microeconomics and these guys in front of me are talking about how hitler js guaranteed to be on the communism part of the test abd I'm like...did you read ANYthing sbout what this test is about
OH they're here for human geography that makes so much more sense
I was wondering why they looked so young for seniors and I didn't know any of them 💀

CMQ How do you pronounce WASM?
 
@mousetail Who did it? It was 'em.
2
 
/wes(ə)m/
 
@mousetail /wɑs(ə)m/
 
5:07 PM
wazem
 
@mousetail wah (like wario) zum
 
5:38 PM
@mousetail W-AH-ZM
@noodleman yes. With a very short u
Rhymes with chasm?
 
almost
wah like wario rhymes with claw
 
That makes sense
 
the a in chasm rhymes with back
@mousetail web assembly
:p
 
CMQ I have an n by n matrix of numbers that can be positive or negative. I want to draw a diagonal line (going at 45 degrees) splitting the matrix into two parts so the sum of all the numbers on the side including the origin is as big as possible. I can do that quickly by adding one diagonal at a time. But I am also allowed to skip as many rows of the matrix as I like if it will increase my sum. Can this now be done in O(n^2) time?
 
5:57 PM
i was thinking maybe a binary search but probably not
 
@noodleman interesting
 
i’m pretty sure the only reasonable first step is to sum each diagonal, is that O(n)
google just tells me summing the primary- and anti-diagonals, not arbitrary ones
 
@RydwolfPrograms We ain't homies? :(
Fried salmon is amazing
 
6:30 PM
@noodleman I am only interested in the diagonals going down and right. But what to do with the missing rows?
 
@Simd what missing rows?
 
@noodleman I am allowed to skip as many entire rows as I like
"But I am also allowed to skip as many rows of the matrix as I like if it will increase my sum. Can this now be done in O(n^2)"
 
6:52 PM
ah i misread the problem as letting you skip some of the diagonals
 
@noodleman Sorry it wasn't clear
I would love any suggestions for how to do it
 
7:15 PM
@noodleman I might have a solution!
 
7:34 PM
@RydwolfPrograms (since when did hitler know javascript)
 
7:57 PM
I KNEW IT!
JS is cursed because Hitler made it
Made in Hitler™
 
Enigma was first implemented in JS then?
 
OOH i got a better one
Made with Hitler™
 
8:19 PM
these newfangled web frameworks have the strangest names
 
8:56 PM
Finished Microecon and Stats tests
Felt alright on micro and pretty good about stats
@Ginger ooh, example?
 
9:42 PM
CMC run length encode an array of integers
 
@RydwolfPrograms Technically, they could be using the uncountable definition of "error," like saying "misuse can happen" (but I'm sure that's not what they meant)
 
10:10 PM
@mousetail /dʌbju ɛɪ ɛs ɛm/ ;P
TIL this is a word (sort of):
 
@RydwolfPrograms Hitler™
 
Noun: wrength (uncountable)
  1. (rare and now nonstandard) The state or condition of being wrong; wrongness; wrongfulness.
  2. wrength (plural wrengths)
  3. wrongfulness, injustice
 
@Ginger oh lmao I missed the context so bad on that
 
@Adám not Thomas, but done
 
no, you're lyxal
 
10:20 PM
I didn't say I was done :p
 
Your sentence structure implied it: "[I'm] not Thomas, but [I am] done" :P
 
I read it as "I'm not Thomas, but it is done" tbf :p
 
How do you know I wasn't saying "you thought their username was Thomas, but secretly their username is 'done'"
 
@RydwolfPrograms (Yes that's the right way to read it :P)
@lyxal Ah, good point
 
@mousetail /ˈwæzəm/
which is kinda funny come to think of it considering i always spell out asm
 
10:32 PM
@mousetail [wä zm̩]
 
wasm sounds kinda nsfw but if I did say it irl that's how I'd say it
 
huh?
 
oh god im gonna wasm
wait do i want that on the internet for eternity
 
Wait, does everyone else pronounce it with an actual schwa?
 
No, I pronounce it with the "a" in "back"
 
10:37 PM
@DannyuNDos i wanted to transcribe a syllabic m but after saying it out loud a few times i realized there definitely is a brief schwa in there
 
Oh wait you mean between the S and M lmao
wusm
 
maybe a bit higher/fronter than a canonical schwa but it's definitely not quite ɪ
 
Yeah there's definitely some sorta vowely boi in there
 
Is there some equivalent of SEDE for chat?
 
if you have to ask if chat has a feature, the answer is probably no
 
10:41 PM
Funny you mention that
Right at this precise moment
I wonder if a certain user and I just so happened to be discussing on Discord what to do with a database of 60m chat messages 💀
 
Lol
Well, I can just copy the search results and process them with Notepad++ to get the info I want. It's only four pages.
 
@RydwolfPrograms screenshotted
 
i think i remember making some beautifulsoup scraper thing for starboard pages and it was pretty straightforward
 
@RydwolfPrograms I wonder who this user is :p
 
10:45 PM
I'll never tell :p
 
they must be very clever to have somehow downloaded sixty million chat messages
 
I sure hope no unfortunate spam-filter-related consequences occurred as a result of something like that :p
 
that would be quite unfortunate, wouldn't it
good thing it's entirely hypothetical
 
@DLosc It appears that I have posted more than twice as many Wiktionary links in TNB as anybody else (33 to Fatalize's 12).

two things:
Imgur urls will be converted to use i.sstatic.net
the conversion will happen in posts on main sites, metas, and, most horrifically, chat
In terms of the leaderboard cap, only the top 400 users will be shown
so if you aren't ranked in the top 400 by reputation, you won't be shown anymore
anyhow that's the summary of what's popping over on MSE
 
Time to go write down what rank I am on other sites, I guess :P
Dang--less than 800 rep puts me at #145 all-time on Literature.SE. Not a lot of active users over there.
 
11:52 PM
@Simd indeed, I also rhyme WASM with chasm
