Topic: Random discussions thread

+Anonymous A — 1.3 year ago #65,099

Talk about anything that's on your mind ITT that isn't really worth to have its own thread; vent, question & answer, share ideas, shitpost, discuss what's happening, etc.

Why is there an arbitrary number limit for how many tabs open (Samsung Internet Browser) and clip items you can hold on Android which also varies in number for other Android devices? Why aren't there settings to disable screenshot protection (for incognito mode on certain browsers, and bank apps)?

I wonder how common it is for people to end up remaining in their hometown, country or birthplace for their entire lifetime, never leaving or relocating to a new area. It's like being trapped in a comfort zone for too long that eventually feels torturously suffocating… makes you unhinged, a life not worth living for. Is it driven by fear of strangers?

It annoys me because of childhood memories I cherish when we used to travel around the world more frequently, met a lot of interesting people back then (also bullies who were physical). Shit's expensive that I can't even bother to move out, but fuck, I hate being here forever, it's like being in jail. I believe sunk-cost fallacy plays as another factor to the reason why people choose to stay (e.g. hoarding (that's what you get for not being a minimalist), being used to navigating the city without a map), and the Internet gives an illusion of travelling around the world and it's just a “safer” option.

What if it's more beneficial to hoard physical items rather than digital ones? For instance, if your hard drive suddenly crashes, Google Drive had an incident where some of your files randomly disappear, MediaFire will automatically delete your account if you don't log in annually, and hackers can remotely steal all of your files through your network, certain Windows updates have caused files to disappear. It's fucking infuriating dealing with these issues.

We all already know this is true for music, games, and movies however, it's better to own a copy rather than requiring an Internet connection every time you want to go back to it, you can't really rely on streaming services and these companies (that remove stuff due to policy changes, or requires payment as if you're renting).

You could also store arbitrary raw data on thin sheets of paper by printing them out (digital-to-physical), you would need a good scanner though. I don't think paper is exactly a good medium for it, read-only memory is a thing (not sure how to express this), there are new blue CDs that can store petabytes (hyper CD-ROMs). I absolutely fucking hate how things just pass by and become completely forgotten by people as if they never happened.

Why don't voice recorders have a playlist editor so you could layer samples together without needing to use a fully-fledged DAW to do simply that?

Why is it that when something's said by an influencer (e.g. Andrew Tate) or a user who made a successful meme, it suddenly becomes their own (quote, or intellectual property), despite being stolen from a nobody (AKA an anon, for example)? We steal all the time of course, but consider those types of bootlicking fans who would probably defend them for anything. As an analogy for monetization, imagine commercializing something that was once free and open-source into a trialware product, and the thing it originally originated from is gone.

I'm just not really comfortable with “human” life at the moment, I guess another reason for as to why we want to go back to a time where we were more oblivious and didn't simply give a shit about these things taking advantage of us (until they became more omnipresent and powerful), we had more fun doing stupid meaningless shit back then but now we watch others doing it while taking a diarrhea/hemorrhoid-inducing anal-bleeding shit and end up re-evaluating ourselves that provides no benefit in the long run.

I hate being that kind of person that never or rarely talks about things that can't be done on computers, I just don't know what to do outside besides eating. Is aromanticism a bad thing? Have we become too anti-social? I don't feel the same when I'm with my family anymore, I'm worried about kids' future, I can't enjoy being myself for once, can't take a break. I feel more like an object, parasite or tool than a living being. Maybe I was always like this but I stopped playing silly, tried to take adulthood more seriously but failed to (I always tried to act like an adult as a child, I hated the patronizing nature of media aimed at children, can't believe stuff for adults nowadays is infantilized as well, guess we will never grow up mentally).

Excessive digital materialism, social isolation due to suspicion of other people's motives, and everyday mundane routines makes me feel melancholic. I'm also starting to believe that money could solve most problems and make you a lot more capable especially in technology, things to invest in, it's not like you're allowed to make your own hardware without the material or be able to dissect something you don't have.

I realize that a website is more engaging if it has ongoing activity (constantly updating and changing) and presents you with the most recent latest stuff, and I always found it weird that looking at (not even too) old stuff gives me a weird specific feeling (somewhat sad) that's hard to describe (e.g. things that used to be fun, novel, different of its time in that era but is now outdated). I even stopped feeling nostalgic but rather disillusioned. I'm kinda insane with the FOMO (fear of missing out) hype train, maybe I just wanna know what people are up to, you know? But I wouldn't like it to be superficial, or something said by an AI stuck in the past. Time moves on and there's nothing you can do about it, new year, who cares, you're running out of time…

Maybe I wish I could look into other people's lives that easily? It wouldn't be fun though. It's why mental imageries (e.g. dreams) are more interesting if only they could be properly displayed to others. They always represent their lives in the most idealized form that isn't really close to reality in the media, or make podcasts to talk about what's on their mind. Most people seem to enjoy make-believe (playing pretend with their fantasies) rather than dealing with real issues that aren't social.

Weird how technology was designed to make life easier but also made it more difficult. Mobile phones fucking suck ass though, it's the cancer of computers and gives corporations more control if they try to apply this mobile-friendly UI to desktop as well, like what Windows 8 tried with their completely useless Start Screen and Microsoft Store (vendor lock-ins). I even download mobile apps from websites now instead of installing them on Google Play where they get to decide what to do with your apps (e.g. automatically removing them if they're no longer on their store).

I fucking hate that shit, I don't wanna retire, ever, no matter how tired I am, I'm not letting them choose for me what next new trend I should stick with, you can work up on the old, doesn't matter if it's no longer relevant, new things are usually recycled old ideas, even the words we're using right now.

I just tried programming again, and yeah, there's tons of shit to do and you'd always come across unfamiliar mathematical problems the further you delve into it, even when doing simple things (in games, geometry, music, graphics, etc.). I usually find that methods used to solve these are so forgettable, despite being useful, they're just too convoluted to remember, and there are too many varieties, some of which work better than the others. The best part is that you get to discover long-dead websites with useful information to rescue.

Why do we have the stereotypical clichéd mysticism when it comes to science's portrayal in mainstream media (now mass-produced with “AI” that perpetuates a more shallow, commodified, watered-down version)? With its grandiose panning of galaxy images, ethereal ambient space music, and Morgan Freeman-esque narrators, and the way aliens are depicted along with the simulation hypothesis, which might also include nihilistic atheist talking points, as if it's an attempt to evoke awe and wonder that panders to the lowest common denominator. (Those who make metaphors/analogies using pop culture references such as video game or sitcom characters are worse IMO)

I just have a hard time finding “true” obscure stuff that I like (unless it's music, but all of my favorite artists have no longer produced anything lately), I don't think it needs to be obscure though, maybe just unconventional, or maybe it's that I find myself associating with a terrible fan base too often that I can't bring it up to my friends without being regarded as “one of those.”

Maybe I should spend some time reading code-golf programs, just looking at other people's projects in general, since I don't wanna get stuck being overly reliant on reusing my old techniques. While there are programming books however I'm more interested in the code itself rather than talking about the concepts behind them at great lengths, and experimenting by adding your own changes is better IMO, I also don't like paying for books as they would often just sit there on my shelf unused piling dust. They say you'd learn more by writing than reading source codes though, but it seems like I plateaued enough to be missing out.

I wonder why I stopped listening to music? There are always made-up earworms in my mind that never seem to stop, and the tunes that appear are usually the same ones from a few days ago and before that.
> Aetiologically, earworms are related to memory: auditory information functions as a strong mnemonic. Psychologically, earworms are a 'cognitive itch': the brain automatically itches back, resulting in a vicious loop.
> Stuck song syndrome is more common among patients with OCD.
> Earworms typically occur in response to a few basic triggers: recency, familiarity, and boredom.
> Hearing music when there is none playing could be a sign of musical ear syndrome (MES).

I think I find experimental music production (signal processing, synthesis, procedural generation, bytebeat/floatbeat, sound collage, effects, the mathematics behind it) more fun than normal MIDI editing but sometimes it ends up being really arduous when you take it seriously, I should jump back into it though, tired of making MIDIs (and I hate FL Studio, need (to make) a better DAW, especially for heavily-manipulated sample-based stuff along with @653,395 (A)).

What if those new famous YouTubers who were previously unknown to the public manipulated their view count by paying large sums of cash for fake views in secret, thereby artificially boosting their popularity in such a short time, to give off a misleading impression that they're way more influential than they actually are?

Extreme cold showers are good because:
• You will feel more energetic/alert as opposed to the boiling warmth that would make you drowsy from the sedative effects besides driving you schizo/mad.
• Once you step out of the shower, you won't freeze/shiver/jitter from a sudden temperature change.
• It increases endorphins, improves your metabolism, gives you healthier skin and hair, enhances blood circulation, and may also help preventing common colds.
• You might experience something overwhelmingly more stimulating that's too intense for your nerves to endure one day.
• It wouldn't be as easy to fall asleep in the shower, therefore you would be able to stay awake longer for the rest of the day, and it also causes you to spend less time in the bathroom.
• Hot water requires more energy to heat, resulting in a higher bill at the end of the month.

I also don't wear too much during the winter, the cold feels nice sometimes that it's ok for me to be in my regular clothes despite what people say.

Does the socializing aspect (e.g. making friends, politics) play a bigger role that it's prioritized over education in school? I mean, that's what most of us think about, the students we interacted with. I just haven't had any meaningful conversations as of late, but more distanced from others. It seems like it will become more robotic and homogenous. Online discourses haven't been as interesting, except on imageboards (sometimes, because they can be as harsh as they want to without worrying much, depending on the rules), Discord is mostly full of shit, Reddit and Twitter/X are a lost cause.

Is it a good idea to fake or mask your emotions when hanging out with people, just to keep the conversation going longer? That's what super-friendly salespeople and influencers do, right? Mainstream media and pop culture might want us to think that being boring, dull, emotionless and monotonous is bad, abnormal or undesirable and we should always be excited, quirky and funny in a certain way for no reason even when life's suffering and we're going through tough times, to hide our real feelings and put on a show, because that's how they want ordinary people to act and behave, but does that justify feigning emotions? On the other hand, pessimism, fearmongering, and doomerism can also be faked for attention, I mean, that's what LARPers do.

Pretty much yeah. I mean unless you're one of the few who truly enjoy studying and learning different aspects of the world around you, school mostly "forming" connections and networking while learning some basic skills but mostly mkaing friends is the priority.
Which in hindsight I think some of us make friends just simply to pass the time and have something to do by engaging in some level of social interaction but as we get older and become more aware once the rose tinted glasses start to fade. We learn that the people we were friends with were just using us the same we were using them. Either as insurance for potential career advancements and favors or just some one whose to listen to their/our rambling bullshit complaints about life and petty relationships.

Dear Internet,

PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WRITE A SCRIPT THAT HIDES PAJEET CONTENT.

It doesn't matter what I search or where I search for it. I am literally flooded by Indian results and it is getting to the point where it can take several pages to find any content of value.

I hate that every IT-related search now just shows 100s of unrelated videos in pajeenglish, with the description "youtube internet tutorial webdesign html html5 javascript how to typescript...". Please do the needful and despawn yourself.

Whatever happened to websites/tech forums/Reddit posts that were actually useful? At best AT BEST you will find someone asking a similar question in Quora and some pajeet will quote an unrelated API or repo.

Pajeets are the ones that exploit the goodwill of all websites and bruteforce/bullshit all the way. Recently a pajeet (located in India) contacted me for a $40000 yearly "fully remote" job. I looked up the company on LinkedIn and location and behold, company does exist, 150-200 employees worldwide. The catch? The only employees that do have a LinkedIn account is a pajeet IT bser in India and a pajeetess in Canada. 2 employees, shitty put-together wordpress website. Sure bro, $40000 a year.

This perfectly encapsulates why I hate pajeets so fucking much, while Redditors try to defend them and show respect 'cuz it's le RACIST to hate Indians, as if they're “the REAL ones” (see pic related). I can't even understand their gibberish accent most of the time and all they do is regurgitate information they found on Google without doing their own research and their explanations suck.

> I felt that social media was pure toxicity and there was no benefit at all from being a part of it. It exploits us by selling our data and bombarding us with ads, and is full of trolls. At the same time, it's where the people are. It's how many people keep in touch with their friends, and leaving social media would be even more alienating than continuing to use it.
For me, it's the opposite, I somehow feel more sane when I abstain myself from social networking services and forums, but I seem to talk about decade old things people have forgotten about, I can't help but to long for the past. Stop being a cog in the wheel if it's a problem, most attention-grabbing news are nothingburgers, you can note down whether or not it was important and personally affected you. Also, most of my IRL friends aren't online (but used to be, either stopped posting or deleted their accounts) and are well aware of its problems (I guess it's just an American thing then for friends to stay connected through SNS because the majority speak English online, 'cause I'm not American, and stuff in our language is boring).

Here’s everything you need to know about lithium-ion battery fires in EVs and what you can do to stay safe if one starts in your car.

Lithium-ion battery fires can be intense and frightening. As someone who used to repair second-hand smartphones, I’ve extinguished my fair share of flaming iPhones with punctured lithium-ion batteries. And the type of smartphone battery in your pocket right now, is similar to what’s inside of electric vehicles. Except, the EV battery stores way more energy—so much energy that some firefighters are receiving special training to extinguish the extra-intense EV flames that are emitted by burning EV batteries after road accidents.

If you’ve been reading the news about EVs, you’ve likely encountered plenty of scary articles about battery fires on the rise. Recently, the US National Transportation Safety Board and the California Highway Patrol announced they are investigating a Tesla semi truck fire that ignited after the vehicle struck a tree. The lithium-ion battery burned for around four hours.

Does this mean that you should worry about your personal electric vehicle as a potential fire hazard? Not really. It makes more sense to worry about a gas-powered vehicle going up in flames than an electric vehicle, since EVs are less likely to catch fire than their more traditional transportation counterparts.

“Fires because of battery manufacturing defects are really very rare,” says Matthew McDowell, a codirector of Georgia Tech’s Advanced Battery Center. “Especially in electric vehicles, because they also have battery management systems.” The software keeps tabs on the different cells that comprise an EV’s battery and can help prevent the battery from being pushed beyond its limits.

How Do Electric Vehicle Fires Happen?
During a crash that damages the EV battery, a fire may start with what’s called thermal runaway. EV batteries aren’t one solid brick. Rather, think of these batteries as a collection of many smaller batteries, called cells, pressed up against each other. With thermal runaway, a chemical reaction located in one of the cells lights an initial fire, and the heat soon spreads to each adjacent cell until the entire EV battery is burning.

Greg Less, director of the University of Michigan’s Battery Lab, breaks down EV battery fires into two, distinct categories: accidents and manufacturing defects. He considers accidents to be everything from a collision that punctures the battery to a charging mishap. “Let's take those off the table,” says Less. “Because, I think people understand that, regardless of the vehicle type, if you're in an accident, there could be a fire.”

While all EV battery fires are hard to put out, fires from manufacturing defects are likely more concerning to consumers, due to their seeming randomness. (Think back to when all those Samsung phones had to be recalled because battery issues made them fire hazards.) How do these rare issues with EV batteries manufacturing cause fires, at what may feel like random moments?

It all comes down to how the batteries are engineered. “There's some level of the engineering that has gone wrong and caused the cell to short, which then starts generating heat,” says Less. “Heat causes the liquid electrolyte to evaporate, creating a gas inside the cell. When the heat gets high enough, it catches fire, explodes, and then propagates to other cells.” These kinds of defects are likely what caused the highly publicized recent EV fires in South Korea, one of which damaged over a hundred vehicles in a parking lot.

How to React if Your EV Catches Fire
According to the National Fire Prevention Agency, if an EV ever catches fire while you’re behind the wheel, immediately find a safe way to pull over and get the car away from the main road. Then, turn off the engine and make sure everyone leaves the vehicle immediately. Don’t delay things by grabbing personal belongings, just get out. Remain over 100 feet away from the burning car as you call 911 and request the fire department.

Also, you shouldn’t attempt to put out the flame yourself. This is a chemical fire, so a couple buckets of water won’t sufficiently smother the flames. EV battery fires can take first responders around ten times more water to extinguish than a fire in a gas-powered vehicle. Sometimes the firefighters may decide to let the battery just burn itself out, rather than dousing it with water.

I've been obsessively mourning about the past every day, constantly lamenting the loss of a bygone era, seeing the current state of affairs is unbearable. The absurdities of life, this ego-driven culture of outrage and offense-taking. It's not going well. I feel an overwhelming urge to disconnect from everything, I want to cut all my ties, I don't want to be a part of something that's completely out of my control. I don't know what I'm doing anymore, I'm just so aimless.
There was once a sense of control and creativity, tools for self-expression and exploration. It's all now a distant memory, everything devolved into a commercialized monstrosity. Everything has been reduced to mere commodities, where people are forced to pander to the whims of advertisers and algorithms, designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator without ever pushing any boundaries due to a fear of taking risks, spawning a legion of copycats, each more soulless and shallow than the last, a mere exercise in exploitation, where users are treated as nothing more than cash cows.
The world around us has become increasingly controlled, as governments and corporations exert their influence over every aspect of our lives. And then there's the death of useful information. Google, once a powerful tool for learning and discovery, has become a mere portal to a sea of irrelevant, AI-generated, SEO-driven content that's also trying to push an agenda.
I'm sorry that I keep talking about the same exact shit, over and over again, I don't know where to go anymore, nobody to look up to. I'm stuck in a loop, this vicious cycle, and it's not getting any better… oh, look at the time.

Microsoft's Recall and Copilot on Windows 11 is the absolute worst fucking thing that's ever happened. No one asked for this crap. I already hate their non-consensual auto-updates, but now they're adding more mandatory preinstalled spyware that's enabled by default. They're basically forcing you to let them spy everything you do on your computer so they could use all that data to have easier control and influence over your decisions along with targeted ads, to see how you navigate the web, how you pirate software, movies and games for free, read what code developers are writing, know what kind of porn you're looking at, list people who you have contact with, read credit card numbers, obtain login credentials, monitor your daily habits, access work-related documents, etc. They just assume you're cool with them collecting all your personal info and selling it as if that's completely okay, it's like they're trying to create some kind of dystopian surveillance state.

Being given a 2-hour time-limit never seems enough to do anything in practice at all, it's just so insufficient. It's only enough time for surface-level things, like scrolling through social media, playing online games, or submitting a job application. It's just an arbitrary number after all that sounds right in words but not when actually experienced. I used to stay in classrooms even after school had already ended, time just seems to fly by too quickly for me to get anything substantial done, and I'm always hungry.

新しき物への高揚感を求めるのであれば、最も苦痛な退屈を耐え忍ぶべきである。苦労無くして得る物は無し。進歩を遂げる事は、ゆっくりとした退屈な過程である。何かを一夜にして成し遂げる事が出来ると言う考えは、我々の文化に深く根付いた、遍在する迷信である。幸福を求める途上で、我々は屡々、暫しの楽しみに溺れ、最終的に空虚さと失望を感じる事になる満足への近道を求める誘惑に駆られる。
One must endure the most laborious tedium if they want the exhilaration of novelty; no pain, no gain. Making progress is a slow and tedious process. The notion that one can accomplish anything overnight is a pervasive myth that has become deeply ingrained in our culture. In the pursuit of happiness, we're often tempted to indulge in fleeting pleasures, seeking shortcuts to satisfaction that ultimately leave us feeling unfulfilled and disappointed.

As my first prompt I asked OpenAI o1 to write different approaches for an accurate inverse approximation of sin(x)+x and it took me 2 hours for me to cut out and cram all screenshots manually by hand into a single JPG, it suggested the Newton-Raphson method, fixed-point iteration, Taylor series expansion, the secant method, analytical approximation, Lagrange inversion theorem, Brent's method (numerical root-finding), lookup tables with interpolation (then I ran out of credits immediately), definitely already better than whatever ChatGPT responded me with when it first came out…

The toilet seat is an integral part of our daily lives, but we rarely think about its design. Most of these seats are rigid and lack any cushioning, which can cause pressure on the sciatic nerve when we sit for too long, leading to symptoms like extreme sensitivity, tingling, or numbness in our legs. Moreover, we could also try adopting a squatting position instead, but it's harder to maintain your balance while you're on your phone.

JSON object mapping of Windows Alt codes

Visit the Wikipedia page for Alt codes then run this in the console:

object={};
console.log([...document.querySelector("table[class^='wikitable'] tbody").children].map(e=>{
	let displayed=[...e.children][0].innerText,
	    unicode=String.fromCodePoint(+[...e.children][1].innerText.replace("U+","0x")),
	    altCode=[...e.children].slice(-2)[0].innerText||[...e.children].slice(-3)[0].innerText, //Consider: Array.from(e.children).slice(-n).findLast(c=>c.innerText)?.innerText||""
	    name=[...e.children].slice(-1)[0].innerText;
	object[altCode]=unicode;
	object[unicode]=altCode; //You could comment this out.
	return`${displayed} (${unicode}, ${altCode})${unicode===displayed?"":" ⚠"} “${name}”`;
}).join("\n"));
console.log(JSON.stringify(object));
function swap(o){let r={};for(let k in o)r[o[k]]=k;return r;}
//console.log(JSON.stringify(swap(object)));

This is the output:

Notice that there are also some instances of collisions, for example the symbol × (158, 0215, “multiplication sign”) has replaced ₧ (158, “Peseta Sign”) on modern Windows, but this object would return ₧ for Alt+158.
To avoid reassigning existing keys and their values, you could do this:

if(altCode in object){
	if(typeof object[altCode]==="string"){
		object[altCode]=[object[altCode],unicode];
	}else{ //is an array…
		object[altCode].push(unicode);
	}
}else{
	object[altCode]=unicode;
}

This is probably a quick hack (a bit messy), but here's a wiki table serialization for your preparation:

let table=document.querySelector("table[class^='wikitable']"),
    tableHeader=[...table.querySelector("thead tr").children].map(c=>"colSpan"in c?Array(+c.colSpan).fill(c.innerText):c.innerText).flat(),
    tableBody=table.querySelector("tbody");
console.log([...tableBody.children].map(e=>{
	let c=[...e.children],a=[];
	for(let i=0;i<c.length;i++){
		if("colSpan"in c[i]){
			for(let j=0;j<+c[i].colSpan;j++)a.push(c[i].innerText||null);
		}else{
			a.push(c[i].innerText||null);
		}
	}
	let o={};
	for(let i=0;i<a.length;i++){
		if(tableHeader[i]in o){
			if(typeof o[tableHeader[i]]==="string"){
				o[tableHeader[i]]=[o[tableHeader[i]],a[i]];
			}else{
				o[tableHeader[i]].push(a[i]);
			}
		}else{
			o[tableHeader[i]]=a[i];
		}
	}
	return o;
}));

You could also rewrite the last part as such:

return tableHeader.reduce((o,h,i)=>{
	if(h in o)
		if(typeof o[h]==="string")o[h]=[o[h],a[i]];else o[h].push(a[i]);
	else o[h]=a[i];
	return o;
},{});

It's important to note that the accidental smooth transitions were caused by mutable arrays.
Use this if there's no

function clone(object){
	if(object===null||typeof object!=="object")return object;
	let copy=Array.isArray(object)?[]:{},value;
	for(let key in object){

It really bothers me whenever people redistribute my shoddy work without making any improvements or adjustments.
Can't they see how fucking shitty it looks? If they're going to share it anyway, they should at least make some modifications to enhance its value, even if they believe it might upset the original creator or something, I wouldn't care as long if the quality is especially low to begin with.
> So, why didn't you just improve it yourself before sharing it? Think before you post, that's everyone's common sense.
I simply don't have enough time or the skills to do so, I'm too fucking dumb and it's already too late to fix it.

What's considered ‘modern’ today will eventually be (probably) seen as outdated in the distant future, yet some ancient works of art will remain timeless, impossible to pinpoint their century of origin… if this Earth and its people are still around, that is. It's a strange feeling when you can relate to long-dead people of old societies from many generations before.

I need a pseudo-random number generator in JavaScript that:
  • Is deterministic and seed-based.
  • Responds sensitively to small changes in the seed.
  • Produces uniformly distributed numbers in [0, 1) with good statistical properties.
To ensure the generator's uniformity and randomness, you should perform statistical tests like the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to compare the distribution of generated numbers to a uniform distribution.

To OpenAI o1: “Write a uniformly-distributed double floating-point pseudo-random generator within the range [0,1) that has a (double floating-point) seed as its parameter, always returning the same value when passing in the same seed, but exhibits drastic changes even when a single mantissa bit of the seed has been altered, using 64-bit IEEE 754 double values and `var float=new Float64Array(1),bytes=new Uint8Array(float.buffer);float[0]=value;` to manipulate double-value bits in JavaScript. Use statistical tests to evaluate its uniformity, bit-level analysis, and periodicity check to prevent repetition.”

I think it should be a

values.length>=maxLength

, my mistake… Not sure if the PRNG is uniform though, can't trust the AI so blindly.
There are other ways to visualize, such as comparing to a real random number generator (that's built-in like

Math.random

) and to look at its binary form, and performing statistical analysis from there, seeing if they yield same/similar results in percentages.

There's a lot of old items I've kept in my freezer for years now without ever using them. I had intended to get around eating them at some point, but that never ended up happening.

When you treat kids like actual people rather than brain-damaged cattle, they actually rise to the mantle and act better.

I remember how patronizing some adults were towards me as a child, they would treat you even worse if they heard that you're autistic as if you're a complete fucking retard.
I hate parents who give a rise to a generation of tech-illiterate kids raised by iPads, TikTok and brainrot YouTube content slop, it's so hopeless. I have very mixed opinions about Roblox on the other hand.

Ah, now I see. From your post 5 months ago, organic memes were replaced by carefully scripted propaganda, and the bloat you were speaking of is coding for apps to coerce proprietary compliance, to generate ad revenue and to maintain the pattern of built in obsolescence. I operate contrary to this style. For example, I use 1950's tech to wire some of the vintage style guitars I build, only because I can hear the difference.

There should be a checkbox, when enabled, will automatically add the pasted text into the list and clear the input field, useful if the mobile keyboard wouldn't disappear every time you paste text.

Forgot

(put the clearing after the if-statement)… I'm on mobile which is why I use GPT, most mobile code editors suck ass and I don't wanna type with a touchscreen keyboard, the old Xed Editor is the only one that's usable (their new version requires you to create/save a file before editing, dumbest fucking idea, and I also don't wanna work with an entire directory (how do I even remove them?)).
I'm sorry about the spaces being used over tabs for indentation, this should explain it.

Samsung Internet updated itself to 27.0.0.79 without my permission but now I can't even long-press the back button to view my tab's history. This is like when LG TV removed color-coded buttons (e.g. red for search bar, green for refresh, yellow for bookmark) and also removed the ability to view PDF documents in their newest web browser while their JavaScript engine or user agent is still out-of-date, they even limited the number of tabs (from 7 to 4 I think).

I find it weird that I can view the full list of what channels a user is subscribed to on the YouTube TV app, even as a guest (no log-in required), but this information isn't available on the YouTube website for some reason, whether accessed from a mobile device or on desktop, their channel subscription list were a goldmine and had lots of old forgotten channels, it's such a shame there's no way to access it with current online tools. API key authorizations and vendor lock-ins are so fucking obnoxious.

I received a copyright strike from Muso TNT Ltd. on YouTube for using Nintendo music. Someone better re-upload YTPs and YTPMVs on VidLii before they get taken down, as this could save a lot of classic old videos from being lost forever due to overly-aggressive copyright enforcement, or community guidelines regarding profanity and violence.
People aren't really interested in memes anymore for being a bit too childish though, myself included, but it's pretty sad to see relics of a bygone era disappear unnoticed, gradually, one after another, until we're left with a complete superficial understanding of what once was.

On the other hand, I still think YouTubers should refrain from using Nintendo music as background noise, like in video essays, especially Mario Paint as an example, even if it's considered a good tune, I suddenly became tired of hearing it too many times, and it's such a typical soyish consoomer archetype. Also, Nintendo is a terrible company and I don't really enjoy their games anymore.

Sounds like you're just bored of what you consider "soyish". I think too many people in somewhat obscure sites like tinychan take themselves way too seriously in regards to "consoomer archtype" I mean chances are you're gonna keep running into it anyway so at this poiny perhaps unplugging yourself from online could serve you or you could try digging deep in the internet to find extremely niche circles and other alternatives. Youtubers are gonna keep using nintendo music simply its the most board consumer friendly archetype.

I do agree however on the part about memes. I never care for them as its a shit excuse for not making an effort to actually socialize. its the same as making friends while youre drunk at a party but the moment everyone's sober you all realize the true nature of each other and stop hanging out. Memes are low effort and serve as pointless social buffers.

It's just hard to find pride or joy in things that exploit you, and when I become alienated, that's usually the point where I start losing interest. When you realize you're giving more than you're getting, or your efforts aren't being reciprocated, it's natural to pull back.
@672,693 (Z-34)
You perfectly described what these Internet circles/communities serve as; it's assumed that once you start being your real authentic self, people will lose interest in you. They are there for their hobby, the product, not the people. What I mean is, if you deviate from the “vibe” of the group or reveal complexities beyond the hobby, engagement dwindles. These spaces thrive on collective consumption, not mutual growth. Once money is involved, expect more betrayals happening (theft, lawsuits, doxxing, grifting, false promises).
It's also a bit odd to see such dedication and effort being poured into parodying existing pop culture and well-known intellectual properties, all of these skills into making fan-made stuff (e.g. games, series, music) instead of creating one's own entirely original works, as if they desperately need to get people's attention through familiarity, or simply the fear of taking risks (coming across as weird or cringe, “just a nobody who will be forgotten”).

So I was going through an old folder of MIDIs and found this file and I can't figure out what it is. It had a .mid extension, but the binary data looks like an mpeg-4 container. ExifTool says it's a quicktime movie, which tracks with the mpeg-4 theory, but mplayer can't open it and mp4box says it's an invalid IsoMedia file although YAMB says there's a 250x250 gif(?!) video stream. Motion jpeg is a thing, but gif is not made for actual video compression.

I wonder, could you use this to deliver the content of a static webpage in a compressed format without having to configure the server for gzip transfer encoding? Like put the script in the <head> and then in the body just call the script to decode a linked image and display the output.
Like I've got a page that's ~30kb but it's just tables and sprites so it compresses well. The script itself is a little over 4kb and this zip of the page and sprite is 2.35kb when encoded, so theoretically the total data package would be less than 7kb. Hard to be sure though, as the sprite sheet is currently external rather than base64 encoded because I don't know how to assign sprite coordinates to base64 data without inserting the entire file for every set of coordinates since there's no filename to use as a reference.

What's the future of the Main Battle Tank? Based on what we've seen, a few observations can be made:

1⃣ Tank-on-tank combat is a rarity rather than the norm.

2⃣ Tanks are mostly being defeated with missiles not tungsten penetrators.

3⃣ In many instances, tanks are being used as assault guns to support infantry in the attack, which is why older types such as Leopard 1 have proved so useful.

4⃣ Although 120 mm tank guns have highly effective APFSDS rounds, new 105 mm natures are still equally lethal and you can carry more, while programmable 105 mm HE is perfect for direct fire tasks.

5⃣ Survivability is less dependent on passive armour and more reliant on active protection systems that can defeat ATGM and aerial threats, especially drones.

6⃣ The best means of survivability is exiting an area quickly and hiding - a basic tactic we seem to have forgotten.

7⃣ Operational mobility has become increasingly important - especially within an expeditionary context - so the ability to redeploy a force rapidly from one area to another can be decisive.

The above factors tend to favour lighter, more agile wheeled vehicles, which partly explain why Japan and Italy are so invested in 8x8 assault guns.
