[00:53:06] Grumblebee I dig whenever I look at those accusations, like. It's unfortunate but there are a bunch of lies too.

[00:53:12] Grumblebee Like, assume they're not lying, but verify their claims.

[00:59:24] Grumblebee I don't follow the point you're trying to convey Kumool.

[01:02:22] Grumblebee Isn't that exactly why the lies matter, and you should approach it as though the alleged victim is telling the truth, but verify the claims before taking any action.

[01:03:35] Grumblebee No, I don't pay attention to most of them. My statement only matters if one happens to pique my interest and I want to form an opinion.

[01:03:42] Grumblebee In which case I will dig and do my research.

[01:05:09] Grumblebee I feel like you're projecting your perception of the population at large, in regards to how they handle news like this, onto me.

[01:06:12] Grumblebee Why do I think the victim is telling the truth? That assumption comes from an empathetic perspective.

[01:06:43] Grumblebee I am not going to help spread rumours about their claims, nor am I going to let it alter my opinion of the alleged perpetrator.

[01:06:54] Grumblebee You treat them as though they're not lying, and you investigate.

[01:07:48] Grumblebee You're really refusing to hear what I'm trying to convey right now.

[01:08:07] Grumblebee Like, you're interacting with things adjacent to what I'm actually saying.

[01:08:29] Grumblebee fifel you're part of the reason people dig their heels.

[01:08:42] Grumblebee Stop bitching when you actively make the situation worse, instead of trying to help people understand and improve.

[01:08:57] Grumblebee IM SORRY!

[01:11:36] Grumblebee Kumool, it sounds like you think it's ridiculous that people assume the person is correct, and take action based on that, which is absolutely correct. I'm saying that you should treat the individual making the accusation, in a vacuum, not anyone associated, as though they're telling the truth, and then carry on with the standard investigation.

[01:14:51] Grumblebee Being unable to make that seperation is a personal difference then.

[01:15:05] Grumblebee It's not about your opinion of people, it's about treating a potential victim empathetically.

[01:17:56] Grumblebee I mean, empathy is relating to them because you genuinely understand, sympathy is basically the next best thing for when you can't genuinely understand.

[01:18:04] Grumblebee I don't see how one is more evil than the other.

[01:28:00] Grumblebee I'm gonna need to go through some math courses again soon.

[01:28:15] Grumblebee Me too, ngl.

[01:28:24] Grumblebee Bit discrete math is one of the easier ones too, tbh.

[01:28:29] Grumblebee Or I'm hella biased because I code.

[01:28:39] Grumblebee Impossible for me to tell which LOL

[01:29:51] Grumblebee I'm a uni dropout but y'know. I got into software anyway and ended up learning it all more organically.

[01:30:31] Grumblebee Math isn't used that often either though, it's mostly discrete math and calc.

[01:31:00] Grumblebee I guess statistics is pretty common too.

[01:31:27] Grumblebee Oh I have no idea, I've never done that.

[01:31:29] Grumblebee Uhhhh.

[01:31:58] Grumblebee Dude there are 18 pages of this LOL

[01:32:08] Grumblebee You finished 10 or are at 10?

[01:32:23] Grumblebee Most of these look like they can be cheated once you understand memoization.

[01:32:41] Grumblebee Recursion plus memoization is beauuuutiful.

[01:33:03] Grumblebee Yeah, it's basically identifying a set of arguments to a function as a signature, and saving the result rather than repeatedly processing it.

[01:33:21] Grumblebee Using it for nth fibonacci number is a classic way to learn it.

[01:33:38] Grumblebee Sure, but I doubt it will matter that much for most of these problems.

[01:33:44] Grumblebee Are you familiar with Big O?

[01:34:02] Grumblebee Most of the failures of optimization will be representation with that notation.

[01:34:13] Grumblebee And those differences are so huge the time difference of the language is negligible in comparison.

[01:34:29] Grumblebee I mean I have 25 open right now.

[01:34:37] Grumblebee The trick is if you're good with code you don't need to solve the math.

[01:35:02] Grumblebee You break them into little easy problems, apply some optimizations, like memoization, to speed it up, and bruteforce it.

[01:35:34] Grumblebee A lot of these are also common issues on leetcode.

[01:36:43] Grumblebee These are not database problems, these are algorithm problems.

[01:36:59] Grumblebee This is all just how you solve math without understanding math LOL

[01:37:19] Grumblebee But yeah the worst SQL query I've seen did a full table scan with multiple joins like..

[01:37:22] Grumblebee Five or six times each query?

[01:37:24] Grumblebee It was insane.

[01:37:40] Grumblebee I think I got to write down that I got something like a 16000% increase in speed when I rewrote that one.

[01:37:51] Grumblebee Because they pressured a maintenance team into writing new features.

[01:38:02] Grumblebee Yeah and leetcode snags a lot of the questions straight from euler

[01:38:04] Grumblebee !bang

[01:38:18] Grumblebee Ahhhahaha.

[01:38:23] Grumblebee They have sudoku in here.

[01:39:01] Grumblebee I work as a consultant and an engineer so I just end up doing a bit of everything.

[01:40:01] Grumblebee Yeah, that took me a while to solve when I bumbled into it once.

[01:40:09] Grumblebee I'd probably have to learn how to solve it all over again at this poitn.

[01:40:11] Grumblebee point*

[01:40:24] Grumblebee I used to do a lot of advent of code and sometimes those get really brutal.

[01:40:36] Grumblebee They'll frequently make you write a little language parser as well.

[01:41:25] Grumblebee Sure, but a lot of the iterations are the same right?

[01:41:44] Grumblebee So if you can organize groups of iterations into consistent answers, you can skip those groups after you've seen them once.

[01:41:54] Grumblebee Thus cutting down the number of iterations massively, despite still solving it effectively with brute force.

[01:44:26] Grumblebee Those energy drinks look good.

[01:44:51] Grumblebee I mean, I'm pretty sure recursion with memoization is the most elegant generic solution for nth fibonacci.

[01:45:20] Grumblebee If I run into math I don't already understand I just google it and learn anyway.

[01:46:04] Grumblebee Yeah importing a solution kinda defeats the purpose.

[01:46:13] Grumblebee I tend to solve these problems with no external libraries, otherwise what's the point.

[01:46:56] Grumblebee Then you have stuff like problem 872 which is literally just "Implement this data structure"

[01:48:15] Grumblebee Wait.

[01:48:20] Grumblebee No 872 is a nightmare, wtf is this.

[01:49:03] Grumblebee Yeah but can you solve it with a graph?

[01:49:34] Grumblebee Yeah but look at the number of nodes you're dealing with.

[01:49:39] Grumblebee I don't think you can use a graph.

[01:51:06] Grumblebee OOP is heresy.

[01:51:22] Grumblebee And classes can be represented as a graph, I wouldn't call it graph programming.

[01:51:32] Grumblebee Or rather the chain of inheritance can.

[01:51:38] Grumblebee Most code can be represented as a graph actually.

[01:51:50] Grumblebee I wouldn't call that a graph because it's so constrained.

[01:51:57] Grumblebee A tree is a subtype of graph though.

[01:52:04] Grumblebee !bang

[01:52:09] Grumblebee !rearm Grumblebee

[01:52:11] Grumblebee !bang

[01:52:15] Grumblebee !reload

[01:53:36] Grumblebee That's a bit of a stretch as an argument. The only thing that makes a linked list like a graph is because we use pointers to other nodes, similar to how we represent connections in a graph.

[01:53:58] Grumblebee Just because pointers are an incredibly useful and widespread tool does not mean that a node based list equates to a graph.

[01:54:14] Grumblebee Actually.

[01:54:18] Grumblebee By definition a graph is non-linear.

[01:54:23] Grumblebee So a linked list is explicitly not a graph.

[01:56:04] Grumblebee I mean, I'm always obsessive over this.

[01:56:08] Grumblebee It's literally my career.

[01:58:49] Grumblebee Autistic people don't really get accepted.

[01:59:01] Grumblebee People say they're accepting until you piss them off because the way you communicate is so alien to the way they do.

[02:00:37] Grumblebee I do my best to be accepting.

[02:00:40] Grumblebee I accept my limits LOL

[02:02:11] Grumblebee Yeah I definitely feel significantly more awkward than everyone around me at any given time.

[02:05:52] Grumblebee Was' dis do

[02:05:54] Grumblebee .log

[02:19:28] Grumblebee LMFAO fifel

[02:20:31] Grumblebee How about rats?

[02:21:01] Grumblebee Why does the primate grouping matter?

[02:21:23] Grumblebee Humans are one of the few animals that feel substantial pleasure from sex, as I understand it.

[02:21:38] Grumblebee That would cause women to select men that give them more pleasure, as opposed to other animals.

[02:21:43] Grumblebee This is totally unrelated to language.

[02:21:58] Grumblebee Add that a dick can easily be too large and cause displeasure as well.

[02:22:10] Grumblebee We don't know that.

[02:22:22] Grumblebee We are unable to determine if other animals have a consciousness in that sense.

[02:22:28] Grumblebee We have literally no means to measure it.

[02:23:07] Grumblebee You're talking about it like people have solved psychology, they haven't.

[02:23:11] Grumblebee It's still an incredible immature science.

[02:23:15] Grumblebee incredibly*

[02:23:46] Grumblebee I'm not talking about the literal age of a science, I'm talking about how developed it is.

[02:23:54] Grumblebee Chemistry is very mature, we can measure things and get precise results.

[02:23:57] Grumblebee That is not true for psychology.

[02:24:02] Grumblebee We understand too little of the brain.

[02:24:13] Grumblebee It's still farm more mature than psych.

[02:24:16] Grumblebee Which was my statement.

[02:25:13] Grumblebee Yes, it's theorized.

[02:25:23] Grumblebee Because we understand so little of it it would help explain how little we know.

[02:25:26] Grumblebee We have no evidence for that.

[02:25:43] Grumblebee At the end of the day the brain is incredibly complex and we've barely tapped into understanding it.

[02:26:15] Grumblebee We don't know that either Kumool.

[02:26:21] Grumblebee These are things we are incapable of measuring.

[02:26:55] Grumblebee Until you can empirically show that something is true, you cannot prove it is true.

[02:27:01] Grumblebee Do not state these things as fact.'

[02:27:05] Grumblebee People have memory loss.

[02:27:13] Grumblebee Were they no longer conscious for the period that they lost their memories?

[02:27:25] Grumblebee Are brains limited to a single consciousness?

[02:27:28] Grumblebee We don't know this shit.

[02:27:43] Grumblebee If you had two consciousnesses, you could operate together without being aware of eachother.

[02:28:04] Grumblebee Exactly.

[02:28:10] Grumblebee So how can you say for a fact we are not conscious before 4?

[02:28:20] Grumblebee How can you even provide any meaningful evidence?

[02:29:23] Grumblebee Awareness of consequences is separate from consciousness.

[02:29:35] Grumblebee You can be conscious and not be aware of what will happen when you perform an action.

[02:29:38] Grumblebee That's a ridiculous distinction.

[02:32:37] Grumblebee You state a lot of facts without explaining why they're facts.

[02:32:54] Grumblebee Like, if you cannot explain why something is true, you do not know it to be true. That is a belief.

[02:33:05] Grumblebee Or an assumption would be a better word in this context.

[02:33:16] Grumblebee Assumptions are valuable in fields with so many unknowns, but it's important not to state them as facts.

[02:38:13] Grumblebee LLM's are actually deterministic too, which makes them feel much less human once you realize that.

[02:38:24] Grumblebee The only reason you get different answers from the same prompt is because they're seeded.

[06:46:02] Grumblebee Since blonde is recessive both parents could have it without having blonde hair too.

[06:46:16] Grumblebee It'd be adoption if his parents were blonde and he had dark hair.

[06:47:41] Grumblebee Ginger is also recessive though, yeah?

[06:49:39] Grumblebee It's so rare to find actual full stacks lmao

[06:50:04] Grumblebee Yeah I do too.

[06:50:20] Grumblebee But we run into a ton of applicants claiming it but then like

[06:50:25] Grumblebee They're missing database

[06:50:33] Grumblebee Or they can't deploy it

[06:50:34] Grumblebee Etc

[06:51:07] Grumblebee Yeah but full stack spreads you thin too.

[06:51:14] Grumblebee You can't keep up with specialists

[06:51:28] Grumblebee It kinda sucks LOL I do it out of necessity

[06:51:37] Grumblebee A ton, I'm a senior engineer.

[06:51:50] Grumblebee Mostly Go lately, and js for frontend of course

[06:51:54] Grumblebee Rust in my free time

[06:52:14] Grumblebee I do but I haven't touched it in a while lmao.

[06:52:34] Grumblebee Electric molasses maybe? I'll dig it up again when I wake up

[06:56:44] Grumblebee You mean SourCrout, right?

[06:57:06] Grumblebee Fair and based.

[06:57:37] Grumblebee LOL

[06:58:07] Grumblebee Try Sewergrout Ahsoka.

[06:58:36] Grumblebee LOL

[06:59:12] Grumblebee Hilarious

[06:59:57] Grumblebee Oooof

[07:00:19] Grumblebee My desktop client has no autocorrect.

[07:00:29] Grumblebee My phone client just uses my keyboards autocorrect

[07:00:59] Grumblebee Why have fifteen word when one do trick

[07:01:27] Grumblebee Context sensitivity

[07:02:41] Grumblebee I've used flask, I've never looked at uvicorn

[07:02:59] Grumblebee I've seen so many codebases that every endpoint is async LOL
