You mean that he is <.5 or he would be >.5 and be 93 to 98% alive.

Not sure if this belongs here but anyway: Tigger was right! Analog > Digital.
In Traveller Robots, the brains have mixes of linear, parallel and/or synaptic CPUs. This was pretty good stuff given that the ruleset was written in 1986 and parallel computers were mostly in the lab.
One of the big limits of the robots in the ruleset is that synaptic processors at ‘too high’ percentage where the software and error checking occurs makes robots go crazy. You want more of them, but you don’t want the robot driving your vehicle or operating on a human to lose their marbles.
Kind of shows it’s age though, just designing a vehicle mounted robot brain to drive a car and nothing else is something like Cr30000.

Isn’t there a Traveller thread so we don’t have to listen to this crap in other threads?

Fucking double “L” in Traveller.
I hate that almost as much as I hate the term “pregnant people” and “we’re at the mercy of the computer!”
No, tigger; just kidding. ;-)

Congratulations on your pregnancy. Do you know if it’s a boy or girl yet? I posted some gender reveal ideas in the random thread.

I’m fucked if work ever look at my search history. Because I switch programming languages all the time, I forget really basic shit all the time or, rather, get the syntax confused between languages.
Yesterday my IDE was showing an error against an
else ifclause so I triedelifandelseifbut it didn’t work. So I googled how to do anifstatement in JavaScript. It’s probably the first thing any programmer learns after declaring variables so my employer would be rightfully wondering why the fuck they are paying me so much if I had to google it. (Turns outelse ifwas correct and the error was from something else. ) -
I’m also fucked if work ever looks at my search history, but for other reasons. Ahem.

Been doing some Python shit and that’s burning my brain and bandwidth because I have been hitting every python site and video ever made. Have not coded to any great degree in years and feel like a retard trying to learn it now. Python has some really cool data tools though and if I use those I don’t have to work with an actual retard who manages our BI application.

You’re welcome.

I’m not clicking on that link unless I’m on a VPN or using the Onion.
And even then, I’m more concerned than curious., lol.

That’s a complimentary gift that comes with every new programming language you learn. And it keeps on giving.

How about a “Go away or I will replace you with a very small python script.” sticker for your work laptop?

@wingmann said in The OFFICIAL programming thread:
I was about to bash you for mathing up the fucking forum, but then I saw I do some similar shit at work with map projections, great circle calculations, etc. Some of that was pretty cool actually. One analysis I did was to figure out if our cheating ass customers were arbitraging our pricing. We have a device we sell in two flavors, one for land and one for aviation. It’s the same thing basically but we charge more for the aviation one because it’s aviation. They thought some of the customers might be putting the land ones in airplanes and pocketing the difference. We don’t get the altitude off the device when it transmits the call data to us, so I had to come up with a different way. So basically what I did was to calculate the distance and time between two points transmitted by the device and convert into freedom MPH. So the shit that was moving fast could be an airplane. The distance had to be calculated with the haversine formula because you are traveling across the globe, so that took some googling to find a code snippet already written for me, plugged it into a function and ran it through my call records. End result is our customers apparently aren’t that smart.

I watched a couple of his earlier vids making the same game (I think it was the same project anyway. It was like a year or two back) - they were invaluable for learning how to do procedural terrain geometry.

@hog Does he have a video on medieval leg meshes? I know someone that needs some help.

I believe this could be true…
