[nova warren]

So in intelligent systems, there's a lot of use cases that aren't just the LLMs and image/video generation people like to talk about, is that correct? And I get the impression because it's making inferences and decisions from given information/input, there'll be some overlap with data science too so I expect it to be very Math heavy.

With Math not being something I'm particularly skilled at, is it even wise for me to even consider Intelligent Systems over Game Development as an option? Because at least with the latter I can still pick up the slack from being relatively weak in Math with the other skills that I have to learn (particularly multimedia related)

I'm comparing the two since it's either one of the two I'm supposed to specialize in by the 3rd year in uni, and while I know I'd enjoy the latter more since it's more closer to my interests I do feel a bit of peer pressure with the former so I'd wanna hear more about the former too

[green pelican]

i guess its the "80 cents for every dollar" shit

which statistically is correct

[tardy rain]

Is it?

[alpine tusk]

the adjusted figure is somewhere around 98 cents last I checked, what I don't know is what countries the research comprised of (like, I imagine that in UAE women just receive a lower salaray just because)

[green pelican]

yes but not because of sexism

the stats are misrepresented

[lament cairn]

1.20 dollars for every dollar (adjusted for inflation)

[green pelican]

google did a secret audit and found they paid women more for the same work

yeah i should clarify, in the USA it doesnt exist

but like

its not shocking an LLM would pick up on that

its literally

public information

i think the fault was inferring a fuckin computer had some woke bias or something lmao

[alpine tusk]

well, it's against the law, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist 🙄

[alpine tusk]

to its credit, it even attributed the "bias" towards it being a common figure in discussions on this topic

[green pelican]

wel no but statistically it can be explained

but accounting for all the factors its like -2c like you said earlier

(in the usa)

[alpine tusk]

I was taking the accounting for all the factors into account already

also a 2c diff is still a 2c diff, that's a whole 2%

[green pelican]

but i dont think thats enough to claim its on the basis of sexism

[alpine tusk]

yeah, I suppose it could be a permissible statistical error

[green pelican]

there are just far too many people and factors to calculate a pefectly accurate answer

because realistically there are companies paying woman more, and companies paying men more

but its not some national overseeing consciousness working against women to pay them less

[alpine tusk]

idk, it could be Illuminati or Freemasons standing behind it all 👻

[ashen ridge]

@solid elbow Most of what I'm about to say are just my observations from staring at IDA and Cheat Engine, expect a lot of errors.
In C++, objects are just chunks of memory, with values stored next to each other (I think). But what about the methods? Each object has to store a pointer to the VF table or sth?

or am I mixing up terminologies again

[solid elbow]

are you familiar with how structs are laid out in C?

[ashen ridge]

nope

never touched C++ before in my life

[solid elbow]

I asked about C, not about C++

[ashen ridge]

....and C

[solid elbow]

well... if you know neither C nor C++, I can answer your question, but I'm not sure if you'll follow the answer. I'll give it a shot...

In C++, objects are just chunks of memory
yes
with values stored next to each other
yes, possibly with padding between them to account for alignment requirements of the data types. A class's inherited members appear before its own in that contiguous chunk of memory. And of course, the member might itself be a pointer to some other memory stored elsewhere.

[ashen ridge]

so far so good....

[solid elbow]

But what about the methods?
C++ has two types of methods, virtual and non-virtual. The distinction is more or less that a virtual method can be overridden by a subclass and a non-virtual method can't. That's a simplification, but it's close enough to true.

Both virtual and non-virtual methods are compiled to instructions that live in the text section of the executable. For non-virtual methods, the compiler just inserts a call instruction to call that function. It can't be overridden by a subclass, so its address is known when the code is compiled and linked; it can't change at runtime, and it won't be different depending on the type of the object that the method was called on.

For virtual methods, there's an extra dispatch table. The contiguous chunk of memory that stores the member variables gets an extra member added to it, called a "v-table pointer". That v-table pointer points to a v-table, which maps each virtual method to the appropriate implementation for this instance, given this instance's type

so there's one v-table per type with virtual methods, and each instance of one of those types stores a pointer to the appropriate v-table, and that v-table is used for virtual dispatch (dispatch based on the runtime type of the object rather than its compile time type)

[ashen ridge]

makes sense to me

[solid elbow]

sweet. Then I think that's a pretty complete answer to your question

this is actually pretty close to how dynamic dispatch in Python works, too!

each Python object holds a pointer to its type, and that type is used in the same way as a C++ object uses its v-table: when you call a method on a Python object, it looks up the appropriate implementation to call on its type object

[ashen ridge]

and once it hits interpreter land, I'm a fish out of water

nice to see I'm understanding things mostly correct

[surreal compass]

well in uae schools female and male teachers receive the same salary

oh and the salary varies a lot depending on your nationality: if your filipino or southeast asian its going to be quite low, followed by arab nationality, followed by emiratis

[green pelican]

yikes

[soft violet]

So...does a Filipino female teacher make the same as a male Emirati teacher?

Or do they make the same amount?

[nova warren]

So I suppose follow the one that aligns with my interests and talents more

I wouldn't mind going overseas if I have to

[naive igloo]

btw in rust there are sum types, and with those sum types you can basically do smth like dispatch, so instead of storing a vtable and a bunch of pointers, it is basically like a switch case, ie:

enum Something {
    Foo(Foo),  // stores a value of type Foo
    Bar(Bar),
}

// both of those types implement a trait - interface
// so we can basically do like this:
impl Trait for Something {
    fn do(&mut self) -> i32 {
        match self {
            Self::Foo(foo) => foo.do(),
            Self::Bar(bar) => bar.do(),
        }
    }
}

is there anything similiar in c++?

[naive igloo]

btw a more classical dynamic dispatch would be:

// keyword dyn marks that it is an object
fn do(value: &mut dyn Trait) -> i32 {
    value.do()
}

// and then you can just:
let foo = Foo::new();
let whatever = Box::new(foo) as Box<dyn Trait>;  // convert into an object
let _ = whatever.do();

(we have to put it onto heap (via Box) because we cant know the size of dyn Trait)

[graceful basin]

is there anything similiar in c++?
std::variant and std::visit, but it is less common.

[solid elbow]

std::variant gives you a sum type, with visit() for dispatch

[naive igloo]

huh

[naive igloo]

how readable is that tho

[graceful basin]

not very, you usually don't model your objects in this way in C++

but C++ is also not really designed to produce readable programs

[alpine tusk]

you don't happen to know anything about that, do you?

[green pelican]

i shared my website with some IT / security people at my internship and i forgot to change the example images, this is one from my browser

[chrome junco]

"T / security people at my internship"? femboy, that way you may even get a boyfriend lol

(hence my inquiry about which 3 you were talking about, but it is not relevant because it doesn't address what I said about smart TVs, apparently smart TVs are more vulnerable to exploits or something, I can't find the actual FBI notice of this, but there are a bunch of news reports about it)

• anime (required)
• movies & novels (required)
• games (optional)
  If you can find said dataset or API, then ping please. Thanks!

[timid latch]

One option off the top of my head is fandom, most fandoms will have wiki pages for specific characters and often have images, might be a bit more work to process and might end up with a few false positives

[narrow coral]

I'll look into that too. Thanks.

[harsh tundra]

There was some character database several years ago, where you could search by visual traits etc... Nowadays a niche of finding a pic of "male anime character with brown hair and blue eyes" is filled by ai-generated images, but years ago for sure there was a website for it...

https://www.animecharactersdatabase.com/index.php I found this for anime
Anime-Planet also has a list of anime+manga characters

For movies, technically imdb has role+actor list, but often there are no photos of the actual character...

[narrow coral]

That's quite a database lol

Claim an anime girl as your waifu.
from the embed tells me that a lot of boys have contributed to this project xD.

I will check this out too. Thanks Nikita :)

[harsh tundra]

Btw there's a bot you can add to discord server that has characters from various media and you can claim waifu/husbando... In one discord server only one person can have that character claimed.
But I think there's a lot missing as they also couldn't find a central db

what would you do if you are going through to some heavy stuff

here is the deal the russians never treated us badly, we have a neutral relationship

but if Trump want to make taxes less a problem with my country

I know the person behind

and some intel people like me (fanboy of samsung) have the means and the motive to take that people out

that would be my salvation?

How do stock options which you aren't allowed to sell within X years work? Can't I just sign a contract that I'll give the stocks to a third party once they unlock, getting X money now? And then that contract can be traded as a sort of "stock future".

[thick osprey]

Typically, with a lot of emphasis that this is a broad legal area, you cannot trade options in any way, shape, or form until they vest. Since vesting isn't a guarantee (you could lose your job), you'd be hard pressed to find someone to take a double risk and give you a hamburger today for a repayment next Tuesday.

[thick osprey]

Most jobs are, when you're trading on them. It just emphasizes that stock options are, literally, "might pay you later" options. It's not money in the pocket, it's not liquid, and it's my least preferred way to be compensated.

I'm pretty sure it's special support from Discord.

what if can put a special header on my embed responses

hmmm

I can definitely reverse engineer this

[wicked haven]

I think i can use a web hook website for thjs 1 sec

It is. It's possible that tenor gives a different response by ip address but /shrug

I like the look of the Maverick but if it's a Honda Ridgeline underneath, it's garbage

But the maverick is all ford platform no?

I know it's a Ford transmission, and it sits lower, so I don't think it's the same thing

It's Ford C2 platform. So yeah

Not the same thing, not even remotely

[sharp jasper]

It's a truck on an SUV frame

[uneven pine]

It's not a truck

It's the closest thing we get in America to a Ute

Granted, it's actually about the size that real pickup trucks used to be

I don't like how unorganised the language feels but with clojure the ecosystem and the tooling is all there

better no standard than yet another shitty one

also this is the 2nd or 3rd time ive seen someone call matrix a shitty standard - what's bad about it?
only thing that comes to mind is the fact Element is pretty much the only good client for it

[green pelican]

i mean it seems counterintuitive for a "good standard" to have only 1 good client right?

idk

but

thats like if javascript was the standard but only worked on a single browser or something

[glossy niche]

my issue with this meme is that people call things that aren't standard "standards"

example: a config format that can be compiled to another like json

or a tool that acts as a front end to another like mise en place

I love Haskell and once you start really writing it, it just all falls into place and makes sense

People say IO is a bitch but once you understand how to work with monads (like binds and continues) it's really not too bad and makes a lot of sense. I mean state is a well written program should only be near the top level of the program anyway so there isn't too much messing about with types required

[young shoal]

I would not say "only near the top level", but io should be separate from other things

2c: i think discord rich presence makes sense if you're doing an activity where it's reasonable for someone you know on discord to join (multiplayer games, spotify listen along) but sharing your exact activities on vscode seems a bit much

[ebon plinth]

That's why I filter it to a degree...

[unkempt python]

if i decide to run some heavy shit on that

[green pelican]

Good one cli

[unkempt python]

that's wild

[vale raven]

It’s just “invoice”, not “in-voice”.
An “invoice” is a breakdown of the costs of goods/services provided. It’s a “request” for you to pay them for what they’re giving you.
A “receipt” is what you get after you give them that money they requested. It’s the “proof of payment”. It will list the total cost and the transaction number from the credit card company, for example. Sometimes they’re itemized, but not always.

As always, some people have different definitions.
I used to have a vendor at work who would send receipts for automatic renewals labeled as “invoice”s.

And some vendors don’t really provide receipts.
Like there’s one that sends me an invoice to tell me what they’re going to charge me for, then charges my card, but doesn’t send me a receipt after that.

Does it make sense to use the word “diplomatic” outside of a governmental context?

Amicably would probably be more apt.

But outside government, yes. "Ask him if he took it, but be diplomatic about it."

"I seem to have misplaced my tool, have you happened to see it anywhere?"

I think diplomatic means "convince them to do something without beating the shit out of them"

Hi

Can anyone assist me with a small issue?

[strange blade]

Is it related to Python?

[wide meadow]

Sorta

[strange blade]

If you think it's related, then you can present your issue in #data-science-and-ml

[wide meadow]

@strange blade Would you mind if I asked you privately?

[strange blade]

Otherwise, asking here is fine.

[wide meadow]

Unfortunately, it's not fine

[strange blade]

How so?

[wide meadow]

@strange blade Because I need help with some private research

Do you mind if I explain privately?

[strange blade]

Please explain here, so anyone who is available to help will be able to see if they can.

[wide meadow]

I really can't explain it here

[strange blade]

Then I really can't help you, unfortunately.

[wide meadow]

It's a serious issue

[strange blade]

If you can't even explain your issue in a short, barebones summary, then I'm afraid I can't do anything

[rain wadi]

[wide meadow]

@strange blade If this were an issue where someone had me at gunpoint, I'd be dead at this point

Fine.

I will find someone else.

[strange blade]

Good luck 🙂

[rain wadi]

Lol?

[robust zephyr]

[rain wadi]

they are talking as if a private message = NDA contract

[wide meadow]

I'm aware it's not, but never mind

Nobody here ever helps anyway

[rain wadi]

#python-discussion is having a lot of traffic today, I don't get what you mean.

If you have an issue, it's better to just state what you need help with.

Being secretive about it and asking for private help doesn't help others gauge your issue, and it's also quite suspicious.

I understand if you don't want others to take your work, but at least explain what you need help with.

[low chasm]

yeah it's far more likely people respond to you if you actually ask your question

[wide meadow]

Listen, man. It's none of that, okay?

Just never mind

[low chasm]

(and, for what it's worth, most people don't care enough to take your work either, if that's what your concerned about)

[strange blade]

Even if it's the most barebones, simplest explanation, an explanation would be really helpful.

[strange blade]

Ok, good luck with your search for help!

I'm also probably less than qualified to help anyone so I really need to just see if I can help or not.

But this back and forth has wasted more time than I would have liked.

[low chasm]

it's the same logic as "don't ask to ask". The difference between "Is anyone experienced with web development?" and "I'm using Flask, and I get the following error while running my app: ..." is that with the latter, people who read your question immediately have a much better idea of what you're asking for help with, and are more likely to actually answer you.

That said, we won't force you.

[wide meadow]

No, no, no. It's none of that.
