polonius-rex ,

the tank is confused by its own reflection and attempts to fight itself

polonius-rex ,

i feel like a hot rotisserie chicken is a different ball game

polonius-rex ,

the ai to determine if you will make it back okay

def will_i_make_it_back_okay(my_present_circumstances):
  return False

polonius-rex , (edited )

depends on what kind of ai you're talking about

polonius-rex , (edited )

no you haven't

you've described the buzzword ai = neural network

e.g. video game ai has existed far longer and has been in the public consciousness far longer and it's mostly just a decision tree, or at best, an alpha-beta tree

polonius-rex ,

my guy, i'm not the one invoking pedantry

i'm invoking the opposite of pedantry

polonius-rex ,

you really think ONE android could wipe out life as we know it?

polonius-rex ,

i'm not worried because an android that heavy couldn't even stand up

polonius-rex ,

shut it

polonius-rex ,

it's semantic

at the end of the day everything boils down to sequence and branchifs

polonius-rex ,

why are people in this thread acting as if he's just admitted to ordering hits on whistleblowers

polonius-rex ,

it looks like something out of modern high fantasy

polonius-rex ,

you say this but rdj doesn't always play white guys

polonius-rex ,

PHP is fine

i will fine you

polonius-rex ,

good luck doing frontend development without it, but it can also do backend development

it can do everything

polonius-rex ,

use typescript and don't look too hard at the infrastructure

polonius-rex ,

i wouldn't want to program in pure assembly either but asm is definitely powerful

polonius-rex ,

actually it says 8h meaning it's only 8 hours old

polonius-rex ,

people say this but C is significantly more batshit than javascript

oh you used scanf? one of the basic functions of our language? sorry that's got a buffer overflow vulnerability so now your application is compromised

polonius-rex ,

exposing the machinations of the underlying CPU with no regard for safety is like, the definition of a footgun

polonius-rex ,

a footgun isn't inherently bad, it just implies a significant amount of risk

yes, if you need the ability to code on a low level, maybe C is necessary, but the times where that is actually necessary is smol

also rust

polonius-rex ,

Once you understand pointers

once you understand C++ the pitfalls of C++ are reasonably consistent

I'm not sure I'd class much of OS programming and all embedded and high-performance computing as small

there are like what, 3 operating systems these days?

assume those are all written entirely in c and combine them and compare that to all code ever written

polonius-rex ,

All of C++? That's unreasonable, it's even in the name that it's very expansive.

similarly, "all of pointers" is unreasonable

"all of pointers" can have a lot of unexpected results

that's literally why java exists as a language, and is so popular

Plus all previous operating systems, all supercomputer climate, physics and other science simulations, all the toaster and car and so on chips using bespoke operating systems because Linux won't fit, every computer solving practical engineering or logistics problems numerically, renderers...

sure, and the quantity of code where true low-level access is actually required is still absolutely minuscule compared to that where it isn't

polonius-rex ,

How? They go where they point, or to NULL, and can be moved by arithmetic. If you move them where they shouldn't go, bad things happen. If you deference NULL, bad things happen. That's it.

what part of that is explicit to how scanf works?

polonius-rex ,

yeah i mean if you grok the underlying workings of scanf then there's no problem

i'd just argue that the problem is understanding what you need to understand is the problem with straight c, and with any language like c++ where you're liable to shoot thineself in thy foot

Poop jokes

  1. it creates symmetry when paired with the pee joke from the trailer
  2. honestly this is the part that feels most on brand for the game

This fight looks like I choreographed it

atlas had better fight choreography, and 90% of that movie was arguing with siri

polonius-rex ,

"from the producer of uncharted, spider-man and venom"

i feel like i can guess which version of spider-man

polonius-rex ,

anya-taylor joy so that it all comes full circle to mad max

polonius-rex ,

Yeah I had the exact same confusion, so I watched it again and she gets tackled into the box, then stands up from inside it.

If this was all in one continuous shot, it would probably be kind of funny. Quite why directors are still making the exact mistakes called out by a 9 minute youtube video 9 years ago is beyond me.

So it looks like bad editing is another thing to get excited about.

polonius-rex ,

are they supposed to just have a billion guns in every shot or something

a variety of different gun designs would at least be something to look at as the main characters expressionlessly shoot towards their off-screen enemies

polonius-rex ,

the most objectionable thing about that sentence is very clearly that monterey jack isn't white

polonius-rex ,

to be fair, the testing surface is significantly more varied in a game than in the average application

your average api is probably stateless, and input probably tops out at like 100 lines of json

a game uses probably like 8gb of memory to store its state
