@pxeger Does ATO ObjC not have Foundation.h? I tried this code [next message] and I got an import error

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

int main() {
  NSLog(@"Hello, World!");
}

To be clear I have yet to find any online environment that doesn’t give an import error for that

Q: Output 5-line calendar

Given year, month and optionally weekday of 1st, output the calendar of the month. For empty cell, fill it with the date where it's supposed to be, in last or next month, and add # to indicate gray. If last few days can't fit in 5 lines, then they share last line with 5th week, use / to separate ...

okay so y'all know how google released that "Gemini" AI update to bard or whatever and that it's supposed to be smart?

> Stax: Released in March 2022, Stax is a stack-based language inspired by Forth and Factor, offering golfing-friendly features like implicit loops and data structures.

:thonk:

And upon me telling it "Stax was released way before March 2022", it doubled down on being incorrect

> You are correct. I apologize for the misinformation about the release date of Stax. My information was outdated.

Stax was actually released in 1960 as the first electrostatic headphone by Stax Ltd. I was referencing a newer language that coincidentally shares the same name, which was released in March 2022.

Thank you for pointing out my mistake. I will be sure to update my information and be more careful about the accuracy of my responses in the future.

Thanks google

Q: I am trying to click on Login link, and ai() function is clicking on Register link in zerostep playwright

I am trying to click on Login link of the webapp http://eaapp.somee.com/ through zerostep playwright with the script "await ai('Click on the Login link in the header', { page, test })" This clicks on the Register button instead of Login. How can I debug that what went wrong here? I tried printing...

Using LLMs to test your website is definitely something

math scat

post-able?

lyxal

my only concern is that it may be closed as dupe of the hello world question

the "cat" version of big program was closed as dupe, so there's potential precedence

math scat

well we'll find out soon I guess

btw I've already figured out an irreducible 256**10 byte answer

probably 2 * (256 ** 10)

extendable to (2 ** 32) ** 10

ooh actually no it's just 2 ** 32

math scat

...

in vyxal?

lyxal

yep

so basically yeah it's a dupe of hello world

because it's just finding ways to extend an arbitrary sequence of charceters

math scat

oh very cool

so the quine restriction doesn't matter?

not even for praclangs?

lyxal

Vyxal, 46 bytes: 87 67 8721 58 67 51 50 67 106 36 43WC∑:C32Cj$+

that's the base quine

the extendability comes from expanding that 32

and possible constructing really roundabout ways of evaluating commands

math scat

what do you think, should I post it?

or is it too trivial

lyxal

12:38

not trivial, but potentially a dupe

post at your own risk :p

math scat

hmm fine I'll do it

it's not like i'll get question-banned or smth :sweat:

Q: Longest irreducible quine

Write an irreducible proper quine, i.e. a program that prints its own source code, which can't be reduced by removing characters to a shorter program with the same constraints. Eg. the python quine: var='var=%r;print(var%%var)';print(var%var) can be reduced to the quine v='v=%r;print(v%%v)';pri...

@lyxal This one gives a lot of autorelease warnings. Still, they're both GCC rather than clang, so no blocks

    #import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

    int main() {
        int (^square)(int) = ^(int x){ return x * x; };
        NSLog(@"%d\n", square(5));
    }

I suppose ATO's is GCC as well

even if you do use clang, you need some way to add the -fblocks flag

@Seggan yes

Kai has previously expressed that it's not an esolang

Which is why there's been changes that have removed helpful golfing things :p

Q: Cyclically Sort a List

Given a list of Integers greater than zero, Sort each of the unique values in ascending order, then repeat the process on the remaining duplicate values and append. Example: [1,5,2,2,8,3,5,2,9] ==> [1,2,3,5,8,9,2,5,2]
