Actual guess: possibly a set-up for a romance scam, with the premise setting the expectation that the person on the other end is a well-to-do widow/widower

literally the platonic ideal of whimsy

Definitely -- it feels like asking a carpenter to film an ad spot for the local furniture store, in a sense. The advertising may be necessary to keep the lights on, but it seems like they're probably asking the wrong person at that point...

(Not to imply that this is easy, either -- everyone's really strained for resources right now. But I think this is a pattern of behavior that could be noticed across a lot of public sectors in the build-up to the ongoing national meltdown in the US.)

That's not to say that researchers should be getting pulled away from their work -- they don't want to be putting on shows, and we shouldn't make them! But we probably do need to channeling resources into empowering science communicators, such that we can break down the "ivory tower" mythos.

To play devil's advocate: maybe that need for more support is symptomatic of a deficiency?
I think there's a case to be made that the atrophying/neglect of public outreach and educational efforts was the problem, and the loss of public trust was the result. Research benefits from being shared.

This seems like a highly effective way to make content creators not want to play the game

they're a crate investment

Sorry I know it's already been said 20 times but like

That is literally a normal nose lmao don't let insecurity claim you

Cheers for making this happen. This wasn't an author byline I'd ever have expected to see in a major publication, and it's great to see these sorts of voices elevated in this day and age

That seems like a bad diagnostic condition to me? Like, people are going to be into what they're into. It does seem like a risk factor for psychosis, but that's an outcome of uncritical AI use more broadly, and the proper diagnostic condition would probably be active detachment from reality

I regret to report that this is just hoyoverse

If anyone here has three minutes to spare, the conflict of interest here seems to be a freebie layup to pile some additional dissent into CBS's feedback form: www.cbs.com/showfeedback/
Doubt it'll make much of a dent, but doesn't hurt to register some additional dissent

It just happens that you're having to deal with the other side of it now, which can be really intimidating when you're first thrown into it
Still, you'll get a sense of things with time, it's definitely within your reach

That's understandable, it takes time to learn to navigate the tradeoffs of a new language
Loosely-typed languages like GML and Python hide away many of the semantics, but they take on significant performance overhead and wonky edge-case behaviors to do so

Ah sorry ^^; I'm super minutae-brained with programming stuff so that's what's at the front of my mind when type discourse comes up
If you want me to do a tl;dr writeup shoot me a ping on discord and I can try and summarize

(Granted, for the example in the screenshot, best practice would just be to write `40.0/20.0` anyway)

what language is it? there might be an explicit float typecast that'll be less jank than the *1.0 hack (e.g. C and C++ use `(float)`)

the array indices in question:
(/lh)

You'd be surprised how strong and varied opinions on this are lol. For me it's implicit casting between floats and ints that drives me up the wall; if I'm dividing two integers I'd rather not have the computer change the type on me unless I tell it to >_>

probably keyword stuffing on their part 🫠 still really obnoxious

...utterly crushed that that isn't an actual mastodon instance 😔

I once asked a very skilled and experienced rower how people who make every boat they are in better do it. He said that he'd known two people like that, and they weren't the fastest or stronger rowers, but their superpower was adding stability where the boat needed it. Not something you'd see ...

happy snom

Ah that makes sense, cheers ^^

Seems very exhausting, wishing you the best. Very sorry if my recent reply thread contributed to this feeling, it wasn't at all my intention.
