@l4m2 Vyxal: ḢṪm for first, ḢṪṘm for second
I'd seen the term "convolution" mentioned in certain answers on this site for years and never understood it. Finally I watched 3Blue1Brown's video on the topic, and now I understand convolutions about 70% of the way and think they're pretty amazing.

Uiua: first one ⊂⟜⇌↘2⇡ second one ⊂⇌.↘2⇡ same length
but also there's probably some weird array trick thats shorter lol

@RydwolfPrograms I am once again in your state
be afraid (relatively speaking)
I thought rydwolf was in texas, not Alabama?
@Ginger Ooh what part?
03:04
thanks amazon
very cool
from a post on DevOps written by an amazon employee
looks normal until you start to read the description of each phase
also, TIL DuckDuckGo comes with ChatGPT 3.5 and Claude 1.2 support now
@RydwolfPrograms Austin, or thereabouts
Ooh nice I'm in the Austin area
indeed :p
remember, I know approximately where you live (or rather I have the means to figure it out)
can't be bothered to do it tho
@lyxal wtf
Turns out they never really let it go
Despite the fact that even after the first cancellation, there was still negative feedback about doing the experiment on SO
I'm fine with it because it let me commit voting fraud on genAI and get an old duplicate account properly merged into my current one after two years
It also has the fun implication that down votes are (probably) free for 1 rep users
I say probably because there's no confirmation about that behaviour afaik
In hindsight, it was stupid and I wouldn't do it now, but this was at the peak of everything SO. inc was doing last year and I was tired of it
03:30
It's questionable from a POV of wanting new users, but uh not very good from POV of SO mods
And any site mods if it were to expand network wide
CMQ: Zoom all the way out on google maps, put your pointer as close to where you guess your house is as you can, then zoom in. How close did you get?
I tried three times and got within 1000 feet lol
100% accuracy because of shared location tracking :p
It's kinda cool how you develop a mental map of the area you live so much clearer when you start driving
Like I'd always pay attention when my parents were driving, but putting names to the roads makes it feel so much more concrete
can't relate, I'm still unable to visualize like, well everything, but I can remember some key locations but not how they are positioned relative to each other or how they connect
Oh interesting
03:37
@RydwolfPrograms How?? Zoomed all the way out, it shouldn't be possible to position your mouse that accurately even if you knew which pixel to put it on
Maybe it's 'cause my screen's 3:2 and pretty high res
@RydwolfPrograms roughly 50 kilometers or so
One pixel is 5 miles apparently on my display, so I must've just gotten the exact right pixel and it happened to be centered near my house
I think you can guess why I've come to your state
Surely the subpar fast food experiences?
(relatives?)
03:41
the eclipse :p
and other reasons, but mainly the eclipse
@RydwolfPrograms in a private window, signed out of google maps, within 20km
Imagine traveling closer to the path of totality, made by accidentally booked a flight on the day of the eclipse when you live right under it normally gang 😎
I'm gonna be in Pittsburgh, worst part is it's like an hour or two from the path of totality so just close enough it'll taunt me
lul
I'll probably take a photo
03:43
I live like 50 kilometers away from the edge of the path lol
My only hope is I'll find someone else at CMU who's going to see it and beg them to take me along
Then just find some way to get to the airport before my flight leaves lol
The roads will probably be a nightmare tho
I'm pretty excited for it
(slight understatement)
@RydwolfPrograms My first try was a bit under 20 miles off; second try, 9 miles; third try, 11 miles. It helps that I live in a city that's on the border between two states.
Oh yeah that probably helps
Austin's not even labeled at minimum zoom which makes it pretty tough
No cities are, unless your minimum zoom is different from mine...?
03:48
Mine's probably different due to aspect ratio, I can see Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio
I can see three more cities in California, and five others in the US (Seattle, Las Vegas, NY, Boston, and Miami)
Might also depend on resolution
I get the full state names rather than initials
> “We know that gridlock and traffic jams will be a major concern, so please, be prepared and plan ahead. Other cities that have been in a total solar eclipse have said it took 12 hours for their highways and interstates to clear from major traffic after the eclipse. We are encouraging visitors to arrive early and, most importantly, stay in Erie later, rather than hit the road immediately after the eclipse,” the city said.
@RydwolfPrograms Okay, I can almost replicate that zoom level, but I also get Chicago and Washington, DC
Maybe trying to get to the path of totality when I have a flight to catch would be a bad idea 💀
Yeaaahhhh
For the eclipse several years ago, I don't think we got stuck in any traffic jams, though there were definitely a lot of cars on the roads. However, that was rural Missouri--I suspect not as population-dense as Pennsylvania.
03:56
just go to spain in august 2026 to see the next total eclipse
(Although it looks like the Kansas City metro area and the Pittsburgh metro area are somewhat comparable population-wise)
the next eclipse location kinda sucks, it starts in spain and just barely touches iceland and passes through greenland and then just goes over the north pole and ends right before entering russia
2/10 eclipse planning, hope they get their act together for future eclipses
well they clearly are biased towards australia
there are two perpendicular eclipse paths going over australia in 2028 and 2030 so for a very small area they will have two total solar eclipses within just over two years :P
Off topic, could you please unfreeze the DSO room?
@lyxal I saw that :P
Thanks
04:02
saw what?
I didn't do anything
That's true, hyper-neutrino did
yeah
how could it have been me anyway?
no diamond
can't unfreeze without one

@NewPosts By the way, I originally read this as second-largest, and I'm now curious if that's actually well-defined (if it's 0, some real number, or unknowable-and-dependent-on-the-riemann-hypothesis)
e.g. for 3, the set is {2^k * 3 * p_(m+2): m,k in N}, which seems to grow arbitrarily small proportional to N
06:50
for "largest" instead of second-largest, it is essentially asking for the density of p-smooth numbers, which is zero ("For any k, almost all natural numbers will not be k-smooth").
I suspect second largest would be the same

Good job stack exchange

@emanresuA What am I looking at? Seems like the numbers approximately match Fibonacci on top the the bottom half makes little sense to me

God my school is so bad at planning. They moved our senior group photo from solar eclipse day to...senior skip day
Possibly the two worst dates they could ever have chosen
Scheduling it on senior skip day would actually be hilarious except I'd feel really bad for all the sentimental moms paying whatever exorbitant amount the photos cost then getting a picture of like twelve people lol
Apparently school's actually kinda fun on senior skip day 'cause nobody's there so they just play board games lol
14:09
nice
@RydwolfPrograms on top of an airport i've never even heard of

May want to check those units...
@RydwolfPrograms What are the options?
Less than, exactly, or more than 50%
Well, I'd guess the correct answer is "more than 50%" then. (As with ingestion of 620 g of most non-food substances…)
Google found me this: "A 140-mg potentially lethal dose is the same as 0.145 grams."
the range they gave would include 620 mg, so presumably that is the one for 50%
15:39
@hyper-neutrino Most eclipses are in the northern hemisphere
why is that anyway
I was joking with my initial statement obviously but I did notice that but I'm not good enough with astronomy to get why that is
16:19
I happened to watch this a few days ago

Fun fact: according to the TSA "cowboy spurs" are allowed on your carry-on bag

l4m2Construct the largest number by combining Given an array, each time you can remove two values \$a\leq b\$, and add value \$\min\left(2a\color{red}{+1},a+b\right)\$. Return the largest value you can get. Duplicate Checker The red part is +0 or +1 Is it fine to leave some values?

@RydwolfPrograms what, have you never needed to do this?
happens to me with startling regularity

Is anybody else getting an error when you try to search inquestion:this xyz in the sandbox? I wonder if it's because there's too many answers.

DLoscWeave two lists, cycling if necessary code-golf array Consider two lists, A and B. To weave them together, we take the first element of A, then the first element of B, then the next element of A, the next element of B, and so on, ending with the last element of A. A = [1,2,3,4,5] B = [6,7,8,9] A ...

@DLosc replicated
But oddly enough it loads every post when just searching inquestion
Yes, and inquestion:this user:me also works
You should post a bug report on code golf meta
Use
And get a mod to put on it so it gets sent to the CM team
Heh... I went first to see if I could try it on some other site with a sandbox, but Worldbuilding's sandbox has a grand total of 8 answers

DLoscWhen I try to search the Sandbox for proposals with a specific word in them, using a query like inquestion:2140 interleave, I get this error message: Oops!

interestingly, inquestion:2140 -test works but not inquestion:2140 test
I'll tag it status-review since I can reproduce all of these as well
