NaNoWriMo? It’s a push to get that writing project out of your brain and onto paper, it’s super helpful for some people just to have something telling them to do the thing.

NNN? Test of self control. “I can quit any time I want” is something addicts say when they can’t quit any time they want. It’s also super easy; if it feels like masochism to not nut for more than a week, you’re addicted.

No shave november? Pure, unadulterated laziness.

Can confirm, at least one person has done NNN and no shave november. It’s really easy, you just have to not do a thing and you’re set

Gboard does it too. I’m fairly certain I use the possessive form of “its” more often than the contraction “it’s,” but the damn thing sees an s at the end of a word and is like “that’s GOTTA be a contraction!”

That’s the issue, you don’t want your good research to be presented next to something Disgraced Former Doctor andrew wakefield published

It depends on whether he uses it despite the fact that the developer donates money to homophobic political campaigns, or because of that

Poe’e law states that there’s no such thing as satire, and that every post that could be considered a joke is actually a display of incredible stupidity

I speak English, and like using my ears and my eyes, which is why I watch dubs. If you don’t speak Japanese, what are you doing listening to Japanese speaking voices?

If you think this about Baccano or Cowboy Bebop, your opinion is factually incorrect

I’m pretty sure the only good song dubs I’ve heard were from Belle. Sucks that the movie is so impressively mid

They should all go the 4Kids Yu Gi Oh route and give the characters American names like Joey and Tristan

That doesn’t make any sense. By that logic, wouldn’t it be disrespectful to the English localization team to not listen to the dub? I mean, if you’re going for perfect authenticity, the subtitles weren’t there blocking the view in the original broadcast either, but you still have those on

Just because they say ‘no visual cue’ does not mean that is no visual cue.

It literally, explicitly does, because they are talking about a hypothetical situation where no visual cues are left. If no visual cues are left, then there are no visual cues to see.

Why, because you say so? Yes, I can. Of course I can.

Okay. I should have been extremely specific. You cannot rightly and correctly say that there are visual cues that could be found when the other person explicitly says that there are no visual cues to be found, because in the hypothetical situation that they’ve brought up, there would be no visual cues to find, and so while you are physically capable of stating the phrase “just look for the visual cues,” or some variation thereof, you are incorrect in the assumption that there would be visual cues to find.

When somebody says “you can’t say” followed by a statement that’s incorrect, they aren’t trying to tell you that you are physically incapable of saying that statement; rather, there is an implicit “correctly” or “honestly” between the “can’t” and “say.”

starman2112,

No, you are either lying or wildly confused. You explicitly just stated that what you were responding to was the “binary search is useless” part. If you were responding to the “leaves no visual cues” part, you would have bolded it. You just said that what you responded to was the “binary search is useless” part. That means that logically, your argument IS that even in situations where there are no visual cues, binary search WOULD be useful, which is incorrect.

starman2112,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

Ok but the text that you replied to, that you quoted, was “If the event lasts only a moment and leaves no visual cue (e.g. an assault), then binary search is practically useless.” Emphasis mine. If you’d started out saying “there’s ALWAYS a visual cue,” then you likely wouldn’t be getting dragged, but you started out arguing from this position without clarifying it, which makes it seem like you didn’t know what you were talking about. You can’t say that you can simply look for visual cues when the other person specified that there were none.

starman2112,

But the comment you replied to wasn’t talking about bike thefts specifically, it was talking about unspecified situations that don’t leave traces. You responded to someone saying that binary search doesn’t work in situations that don’t leave cues not by arguing against the premise (e.g. “but no such event exists, everything leaves cues”), but by telling them that you simply have to look for the cues from the hypothetical event that didn’t leave any.

starman2112,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

Your reasons for why they were incorrect about a binary search being useless in situations that don’t leave visual cues is that you can simply look for the visual cues lmao, that’s not valid at all

starman2112,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

The OP is, but the comment you replied to isn’t. They expanded on the original post, and said that while binary search is useful in that situation (along with many others), it would be useless in other situations.

starman2112,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

I disagree with the “leaves no visual cue” part, as I’ve commented on. There’s ALWAYS something caught on the video to help determine things. Maybe not enough, but never nothing.

Then you should be responding to the “leaves no visual cues” part, not the “binary search is useless” part. If there WERE a situation that left no visual cues, THEN binary search WOULD be useless. It does not matter whether there ARE such situations.

starman2112,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

But it didn’t, because if it did then it would fall under the second paragraph of their comment, where they said that binary search would be useful. The comment isn’t just talking about bike thefts.

I’m describing the vast majority of fights that happen in the public.

But the comment you replied to already addressed those fights, and bike thefts, and the vast majority of cases that you’re talking about, by saying

If there is a long-lasting visual cue that the event has or has not happened yet (e.g. a window is either broken or not), then a binary search is very useful.

No one is moving goalposts. The parent comment said that binary search is useful in situations like bike thefts where visual cues are present, and not useful in situations where visual cues are not present.

In your hypothetical situation involving AI, the AI would use visual cues that are present, and so the situation is covered by the parent comment’s second paragraph. In a situation where there are no visual cues for the AI to use, it would be covered by the third paragraph. They still aren’t wrong about anything.
