@RydwolfPrograms int[sin²] + int[cos²] = int[1] = x or did you mean some other way?

Sandbox posts last active a week ago: Complete the landscape, Solve the "/" puzzles from Taiji, Enable 2char-JsFuck

I had a really good time with this puzzle:

puzzle-nonograms.com/?e=MTo0LDgwNyw2Mzg=

It's a 10x10 of this, and it took me 18:32 which is kinda nuts, since the 5x5s can take less than a minute.

5x5s and Instructions

@AviFS Not hard, it claims me 04:54.69 and I did something else during

@l4m2 I definitely did it suboptimally, haha

i.stack.imgur.com/qPLDk.png Is it over medium?

Try a 15x15 then :p

where

There's a daily/weekly/monthly special, and they make pixel art pictures, which is cool.

But the daily is 25x30 and I don't know where to start.

Here.

Do you have discord?

I'd be down to try the daily special together.

I do

@l4m2 Oh, no that's 5x5

Is that the one you did in 5 mins?

@l4m2 Are you in the CGCC discord?

no

@AviFS 10x10 in 5min

Oh okay, nice, haha

@l4m2 Then what were you asking here?

5x5 in 2s

23s

I'll invite you if you give me your name

Did you find the specials?

15 in 10:49.62

@AviFS 515900278474670100 Is ID enough?

@l4m2 Well count me shucked!

If you get one of the specials with the pictures, please share!

It seems perfect to print out on a big sheet of paper, and leave on the coffee table to solve over a period of days, like people do with jigsaw puzzles.

The monthly one is 50x50.

By the way, slants is actually one of my favorites.

puzzle-slant.com

All of the puzzles on that site are really cool and creative, and inspire lots of potential CGCC puzzles. Making a cool type of puzzle as featured on that site, also feels like it has something in common with making a cool esolang.

How error?

Not to reduce the nonograms in an way, but it's nowhere near as creative as some of the other puzzles on that site. It's only a couple steps above sudoku.

@l4m2 All cells have to be filled.

uhu

With either a left slash or a right slash.

You have some empty cells still.

As an additional restraint, the slashes can't make a closed shape. Although, you don't have that here.

@l4m2 Actually, what you have there so far looks to be irredeemable. Once you try to complete the two missing squares under the 4, you'll make a closed shape (a diamond/square).

Either that, or you'd be forced to add one more joint to the 2/3.

@l4m2 Did you solve it?

I quit

Huh?

You just have to fill in all the cells with one of the slashes, / or \.

It looks like you got it, you just have to start that one over because you didn't know about the "no closed loop" restraints.

@AviFS That event is Best Of :P

@cairdcoinheringaahing can't believe you used ChatGPT for an answer before it was even invented

smh

Didn't even get an upvote for time travelling, honestly

yeah well if you hadn't closed the challenge that's an answer to as dupe to cover your tracks, I would have upvoted it :p

(i searched through 5 pages of all jelly answers checking each individual answer for this one joke btw)

...does hugging face have an official ai detector or are they just using a model someone put on hugging face and attributing it to hugging face

@lyxal Did you look through all my Jelly answers? :P

@lyxal caird is an early version of ChadGPT?

You are such a hypocrite, caird, I remember when you were vehemently against giving a bot mod powers :P

On the other hand, I clearly passed the Turing test, so should be given all the powers

Fooling humans isn't a very high bar :P

Wasn't some Google engineer convinced a random AI was sentient?

yep

asked it to describe the experience of being a sentient ai, and it gave as profound and stunning an account as your average sci-fi author :P

@cairdcoinheringaahing maybe...

@UnrelatedString I think it's the second option

lmaooooooooooooooooooooooo

Although the userscript might be misattributing it

@lyxal If any don't have explanations, and you didn't comment to tell me, I'm nuking your fridge

@cairdcoinheringaahing the problem was that they did have explanations as well as English paragraphs that gpt wouldn't write

You're too human gosh dang it

It was giving me 0.25%s and so on

That was the first post I saw that gave a decent percentage :p

That's the answer btw

I know the answer :P

I know you know

It's for everyone else :p

The builtin gave it away, but even without that, I could tell what the 4 byte code did :P

@cairdcoinheringaahing well duh, it has an explanation that explicitly mentions what it does :p

@lyxal Everyone, I expect 25 upvotes, minimum on this answer by the time I wake up in 6 hours :P

@cairdcoinheringaahing tempted to actually try and make this happen :p

Hmm, gunning for upvotes, definitely a bot

Hmm, gunning for upvotes, definitely a bot

There ain't no amount of utc midnight chicanery that can convince me that you two aren't a hivemind

Not after that :p

I don't blame you though. Hivemind creation seems to be a popular TNB pastime

I kinda want to know what it'd be like to be part of a hivemind

I probably won't get to see proper brain-computer interfaces during my lifetime

Sci-fi books are so disappointing when they're set in the near future - we know now that there's no we're getting to Mars by 2030, maybe not even the moon, but authors in the 2000s were so hopeful

We haven't even gotten close to eliminating poverty

@user it'd be all fun and games until someone with admin access got hacked and then everyone would be forced to listen to Mariah Carey 24/7

Surely no one would do something so awful. Maybe steal people's memories or induce seizures, but nothing as cruel as that

you misunderstand the desire for people to commit trolling

if I can think of it as something I'd do, others wouldn't hesitate to do so either

47 out of 50 questions?

that sure is a lot :p

My star show on right

it's a joke :p

@l4m2 I took the screenshot from the starboard

where

see it

Downvoted 8/16 of codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/25478/…, they're quite bad to me :|

you don't like the categories?

One reason is "it's so common and nothing special", which applies to "Best Explanation"

best explanation is for answers where the author took extra dedication to make the explanation a) easily understandable and b) more than just what each token does

that's not very common

Almost all explanation for practical languages do this. Explaining ++i increasing the variable is meaningless.

that's explaining what the token does

that's covered by point b in my message

Wrong tool for the job was no vote when seeing only requirement, downvoted because linked answers dismatch

@l4m2 i don't think the categories themselves need to be exceptional :P

@l4m2 Nominate something else if you think there is a answer that fits better

@cairdcoinheringaahing Did you get the proposal, though? I was actually kinda serious!

@l4m2 That would be a reason to downvote the individual answers, not the category. Although, as others have said, given how few answers we have it’d be more useful to add good ones than to downvote the existing ones, haha

Let’s make the event happen, though! I’ll be out of town anyway, but what do you guys think about the proposed times and, more importantly, a new room?

Can be this room I think, would get more activity than a seperate room

@AviFS I used to get a newspaper which had those in 30×35

I even wrote a Java applet that solves them for you

This should probably be updated since it's part of the FAQ

Hi

@mousetail What half do I delete?

Most of it

Any groups without transforms

any namespaces except the SVG namespace

What would it look like then

The same

I mean, the SVG code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="-16 -16 32 32">
    <rect fill="white" x="-16" y="-16" width="32" height="32"/>

    <path d="M 0 0 L -16 0 A 16 16 90 0 1 0 -16 Z" fill="#666"/>
    <path d="M 0 0 L 16 0 A 16 16 90 0 1 0 16 Z" fill="#666"/>
    <path d="M -2 -2 L -14 -2 A 14 14 90 0 1 -2 -14 Z" fill="pink"/>
    <path d="M 2 2 L 14 2 A 14 14 90 0 1 2 14 Z" fill="pink"/>

    <g transform="rotate(-15 0 0)">
        <rect x="-15" y="-1" width="30" height="2"/>

This is what a clean SVG would look like

Software SVGs are garbage, I agree

I have no idea how Scratch parses garbage

@lyxal In your new version, if you append 0 to the string then remove the leading 0, how does that increase the probability of picking 0 next time?

Lucklily it's pretty easy to know what to delete

@Fatalize no, and I only realised that after I replied to your comment :p

Oh okay, thought I was dumb for a moment

that would be me

I’m dumb the rest of the time

Thoughts on if I should allow different spacing for the first 16 items and the rest? (Thunnoo's comment)

I meant

@mousetail yes

What half would you delete

@mousetail IMO no but I don’t care too much

@UndoneStudios You can delete the width, height, and xlink namespace

And the gs without transforms

In the end that would be?

I'm not doing it for you lol

Fine I'll try

Open it in your browser and you can see what happens as you change it

Just save and reload the page often

That takes too much time

I should probably create an img editor of my own

though that would be very limited

You've been asking about this for days, you could have done it by now if you had started

Yeah I'll start

@Fatalize it doesn't need to actually

because after 0 is chosen from the first string, the last 16 items printed is 123456789abcdef0, meaning it still only appears once

so it's probability should actually stay the same, not increase

but at this point you have printed 0 two times, once for the initial string and once for the first iteration

so it should have more probability to be picked next time

but after the first iteration, the last 16 items only has one 0

> If a number appears multiple times in the last 16 values, it should have proportionally more chance to bee chosen as the next number.

0 only appears once after the first iteration

right I think I get it

since it’s the first one it gets pushed out of the 16 element range by itself

yeah

the increased probability bit is actually implied by the "Then, repeatedly, output a random value chosen uniformly from the last 16 items outputted" requirement

makes sense but that’s confusing to understand at first

because obviously, if a value is in the last 16 items more than once, it'll have a greater chance of being selected uniformly

@Fatalize yeah, that took a bit of thinking for me too

@NewPosts y'know, I was planning on going to bed 41 minutes ago. I've been code golf sniped!

o/

I perfectly timed the post for that reason

Has xkcd.com updated for y'all? It's Wednesday here and nothing new

It normally updates much later

It's quite inconsistent though, sometimes it's early

It usually updates a day later for me

I wonder where Randall is

Then I'll know why it hasn't updated

I think he is American, they are always way late

He may be American, but we don't know where he is

You answer everything except what I ask

I mean all that's important is what time zone he's in

Yeah

@mousetail burn

I'm a bit surprised three users decided to downvote this challenge... codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/257239/31516

There is one close vote, you could close the question and you'd have the name of one person who didn't like it /s

@StewieGriffin I dunno, the challenge seems pretty clear to me

I know who voted to close it and why, and I honestly don't care. I don't care about the rep either.

Might be before you added the code golf tag

But I do care about what other people think of challenges I've made in the past, and this one now.

@mousetail At least two of them were after.

And a missing tag is a reason to close, not downvote. Those are for bad, boring, studip (you name your reason) challenges.

actually a missing tag is to edit

only if it persists for too long then you close

@Seggan if you know what the missing tag should be. In this case it was quite obvious.

@StewieGriffin exactly

aaa whats with chat

Might be the strict IO format? Some people dislike that

Other question: Here OP seeds the RNG outside of the code and doesn't count those bytes, is this something that we allow?

i think thats a loophole

I'm curious, would you prefer if more (well-specified and on-topic) challenges were posted on this site, even if that resulted in some bad challenges?

@Seggan nvm its not

Would it be better with 5 relatively poor and 1 good challenge, than just 1 good?

1 good and 3 mediocre

@Seggan I guess I should have said mediocre instead of relatively poor, but you get my point. :)

@StewieGriffin It heavily depends on what exactly is wrong with the posts. If they are just a bit too easy sure there's no harm even if they are not "great"

Repuation graph bugged?

Says I got 190 for one post but then somehow it totals to 100

100 is actually correct

@Bubbler select "animation properties" to the left of the variable

@mousetail hmmm I opened it in other tab and now the numbers are correct

My reasoning is: let n = 16, let p_k be the probability of number k being the last one standing.

let p_0 = 0, then p_k = p_(k-1) + p_n/n

this is because the probability of eventually stopping is 1 so the if a number is at multiple positions then the probability of this number being the last one is the sum of the probabilities over all the positions

so after one step the number k is at position k-1 and with probability 1/n also at position n

this gives a system of linear equations that gives you the result

@mousetail I hope it's understandable

Interesting reasoning, I'll need to do some math

Can I propose a change for Best Of 2023: Open nominations about now instead of in January next year, but then open voting as usual at the start of 2024. So that way, nominations can trickle in throughout the year as people notice worthy posts, and we hopefully won't have such a problem with a lack of nominations because people have to successfully remember and/or find good posts long after they were posted

^

I second that.

@Neil yeah

^^^^

Maybe this should've been a meta post

Yes

Just wanted to ask, apparently in Python 3.11 you need a space after a number (so you can't do something like n<2or), so if I've got that in my code, does the header have to be "Python 3.10" or is just "Python" fine?

This is the answer I'm talking about

I'd say probably when 3.11 stars being used

So for now (since ATO's on 3.10) should I just leave it as "Python"?

Probably yeah

Thanks

Also @pxeger is it feasible for ATO to keep 3.10?

If it really needs to be upgraded to 3.11, could we have just a separate language called "Python 3.10" (just like Python 2) on ATO (@pxeger)?

Because it seems like Python 3.11 is a downgrade from 3.10 from a golfing point of view

@TheThonnu wait what

riiiiiiiiiip

yeah we definitely would want our online interpreters to have both

@TheThonnu (that's what I meant)

or how about we have "Python 3.11+" instead

@UnrelatedString FWIW RTO's going to keep every version a permalink has used, so that an update to a language can't break existing links

has anyone made a one way foowchart-like 2D language where you can branch off in parallel but cant go backwards

@emanresuA Yes

Change the nominations process for Best Of 2023

@mods can you 11 this^ to show up sensibly in the starboard?

Seriously tho can anyone help me I just want to sort by recently modified

(and the default sort-by-recently-modified is hilarious; it puts all the folders at the bottom, presumably since whoever designed it was so lazy they just made it the same as sort-by-most-distantly-modified only upside down. This is the kind of brilliant out of the box thinking I expect from my $200 operating system)

Also what kind of UI is this:

It's like 20% of my screen width

And I've got it at 150% scaling too, it's not even native resolution

@RydwolfPrograms this doesn't help with directory sorting, but you might like learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys
