Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Programming@programming.dev•New Method Is the Fastest Way To Find the Best RoutesEnglish1·7 days agoThis might be a stupid question but I have just some limited experience with sorting algorithms and was wondering something: could some algorithm like this be improved specifically for multi-threaded processing? I mean, an algorithm that is generally NOT the best option with a single thread, become better than other algorithms when it can delegate part of the work to different threads?
Perhaps something that runs the same algorithm on several threads, each starting at a different point of the map, but sharing their findings with the other threads?
Someone went through all the trouble of carefully making everything match, only for others to not care enough to put in 0.1% of that effort and keep it in order when they work on it.
Seems like a great analogy for my work experience these days.
Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.comto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to determine election outcomes by changing electoral maps. In most western countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United StatesEnglish1·8 days ago2 and 31 and 2 are indistinguishable if you don’t take political alignment into account. What counts as a line or a column in real life? You need to group/sort people by something in order to draw any of those lines.Edit: somehow I missed the actual numbers in the image and counted them starting from the sample, so when I said 2 and 3 I was thinking of 1 and 2.
Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Programming@programming.dev•We Asked 100+ AI Models to Write Code. The Results: AI-generated Code That Works, But Isn’t SafeEnglish6·13 days agoBtw I tried to ask the AI to fix those problems on its own code but from that point forward it just kept going farther and farther from a working solution.
Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Programming@programming.dev•We Asked 100+ AI Models to Write Code. The Results: AI-generated Code That Works, But Isn’t SafeEnglish7·13 days agoDepends on their definition of “working” .
I tried asking an AI to make a basic webrtc client to make audio calls - something that has hundreds of examples on the web about how to do it from the first line of code to the very last. It did generate a complete webrtc client for audio calls I could launch and see working, it just had a couple tiny bugs:
- you needed an user id to call someone and one was only generated when you call (effectively meaning you can only call people if they are calling someone)
- if you fixed the above and managed to make a call between two users, the audio was exchanged but never played.
Technically speaking, all of the small parts worked, they just didn’t work together. I can totally see someone ignoring that fact and treating this as an example of “working code”.

Folks in 2003: “you’re the weirdest person I’ve ever met” Same folks these days: “really? You don’t look autistic”
Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.comto iiiiiiitttttttttttt@programming.dev•You shall not find!English2·15 days agoThere’s a gnome extension for it as well.
I had a dream a couple weeks ago where I was reading some news about penguins developing a language to talk to each other. And in the dream I was wondering if we as humans were in any way hindering the penguins’ capacity to evolve into a sentient species - then realized they were already so close to us. They have arms and legs, can use tools, talk with a structured language and everything - what kept them being labeled as plain animals if they did all that?
In the afternoon I suddenly remembered the dream and for a split second was kinda agreeing with my dream’s argument, until I realized the penguins in the dream were closer to Animal Crossing characters than to actually penguins.
“everything after the ? Symbol can be removed without issue” is a bold statement to make. Reminds me when the TV news had a specialist telling people to look at urls before clicking and check if it ends with “.php” as that would mean it is a virus.
