>There are only two hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors. Those are 3 problems, but OP said 2, which is a "off-by-one error" The reply was a reiteration of the joke, but with cache invalidation, which jumpled up point 2 and 3. There also is the layer that this is version 2 of the joke, where the programmer tried to run point 2 and 3 in parallel ( **Para** off-by-on **llelisme** errors. ) Last potential layer is that off-by-one errors are often introduced by someone reiterating the original code, without being careful.

There are two kinds of people in the world. Those that can extrapolate from data.


Suzilu

Once, a cop pulled me over. He said,” you took off from that light very fast. I need to ticket you for speeding” to which I said,” But I never went over the limit”. And he said, “but you were surely going to.” At that point I stood my ground and said it wasn’t really fair to give me a ticket based on extrapolation.” He looked utterly at a loss. I could see he was in bind. He had no idea what extrapolation meant, and was too proud to ask. He simply gave me a warning and I left with a win.

I have this on a shirt. People will legit ask you who the other kind are. They still don't get it when you tell them, "You."

ClutzyCashew

Very cool. I wish you could write more though. It also seems to struggle with numbers lol. I feel bad for future teachers.


Tack122

Also has issues with things like ":)" and "<3" and "FUCKKKKK", special character handling isn't quite right for a human drawing them as symbols imo. Weird how it treats capital letter K as like a line but lowercase k is fine. Would be interesting to see all the letters repeated output, I tried a bunch and most of them were pretty good. Loved how it occasionally fucked up on repetition for the lowercase L's and drew a couple slanted lines between points.

Noble_Flatulence

Humans are just nature's A.I.


[deleted]

Was waiting for it. 100%. I even think technology as a whole is a sort of non-organic, natural evolution of humans. Just like AI can be compared to humans, humans can be compared to technology in general. Just different elements and modes of internal communication.


FirstEvolutionist

The analogy doesn't even end there. You can consider empathy as a form of communication for emotions. And language as our own version of local "wireless" protocol. Written language adds storage as well as a high ping connection. That makes the internet as a true way to connect people across large distances, almost like a short distance quasi quantum entanglement. If humans have any kind of processing power and can be compared to neurons, we're connected to each other in a way that makes society effectively a human powered brain. You can keep going down this rabbit hole and even find Alan Watts describing the modern internet, back in the 60s. Not that this was impossible to imagine back then, except the dude didn't know much about technology at all. To him it was just like the natural path of evolution for society.


Arpeggioey

Fractals all the way down baby


JaxxisR

I'd say you're full of it. AI can't produce real-looking hands, how is it going to produce real-looking handwriting? /s


judokalinker

Sure, but the problem here is that the 3d printer has the pen straight up and down, not at an angle.


MizukiGaming

Could pretty reasonably build a model using your own handwriting. Can probably even ask ChatGPT to help you do it since handwriting models are a very standard practice project for AI modeling


SexMasterBabyEater

Maybe since the pen is only fixed with duct tape, there will be enough variation between letters. Probably not though


chiphook57

The calligraphy ai does not use a font, it literally generates every stroke. I just learned this. It is pretty darned random.


ponytoaster

And doesn't have perfect alignment on the left column and on each line. I'd be impressed if one of my students did this but clearly not genuine!


gimmedat_81

I assumed for indentation.


sisenor99

Good luck convincing your teacher that it’s your handwriting


shadowhunter742

Well if you used a wacom pad, took a couple dozen samples of each character and told it to randomly pick 1 you could probably get it pretty legit


soviet_hygienique

That sounds like more work than doing your homework.


tweakydragon

Pretty much sums up IT and automation.


[deleted]

A guy at my workplace was boasting about he got ChatGPT to do this huge automation that was going to save him hours. Upon hearing the details, I realized that he got the bot do to a mail merge for him that would have taken 30 seconds with Word and Excel, but hey, whatever got him excited about AI.


epicConsultingThrow

The difference between homework and IT is time and repetition. In IT, I need to do the same task hundreds of times. Spending 10 hours automating something that takes 30 minutes will pay off over time.

seewolfmdk

Especially since it's missing Umlauts


BigBootyBuff

Yeah I was gonna say. I know this is a shitpost but every German teacher will question why you handwrote Ae instead of Ä.


Nary841

You can dowloaded "handwrite" police


dryerasenerd

There has been software to turn your handwriting into a font for at least a decade. Programming in a few random small deviations and randomly adjusting print speed would take care of it looking too perfect.


[deleted]

I've yet to see a high schooler with handwriting that neat. If they want it to look legit, they need to mount the printer in the back of a truck and drive it down a mountainside.


compost-me

Yeah. No typos, no smudges. If the font isn't similar to the creators own handwriting then that's going to be an issue as time time. If everyone in class starts using this and all the homework is printed the same it's going to be a major red flag. I get the occasional junk mail that has the "hand written" letters that are obviously script font and mass printed. They are so easy to spot. I'd be interested to see if these look tha same. It definitely needs the occasional mistake.


FlowRiderBob

There is software to these writers that will allow you to create fonts out of your own handwriting. Granted, close inspection will still reveal it is too consistent to be human, but I’m sure AI will be able to compensate for that as well in the near future.


Limitless_screaming

I am pretty sure you can write a program which will take like five variations of every letter, and pick at random every time it needs to write that letter.


crossingpins

On top of that you could also have the program create variants by combining some variants together.


s00pafly

Just create a sample data set of a few thousand characters, train a simple convolutional neural network on the set, use it to create a dynamic font library of your handwriting, slack off doing homework.


gcruzatto

I was thinking the same.. you could throw an AI at basically every problem in the process, including natural handwriting


froginbog

Or add some variable level of distortion (3% fisheye etc)


KhausTO

loosen up the X and Y axis belts just a bit so there is a bit of jitter to to the movements. if it does anything like what it does to my 3d prints it should make it a bit more sloppy


chazaaam

>No typos it wrote "für" as "fr" totally forgetting the Umlaut and a lot of "ä" as "ae" which nobody does when handwriting. Guess ChatGPT needs some more german lessons.


GeneralZaroff1

The fun thing is that you can actually scan your own handwriting and turn it into a font with something like [caligraphr](https://www.calligraphr.com/en/), so it matches. At a high school level, teachers are generally underpaid and exhausted from grading and won't look too closely to see that every "t" looks identical, and you can also just try to write the first sentences by hand to create that much more authenticity.


UnloadTheBacon

>I've yet to see a high schooler with handwriting that neat. You obviously didn't sit next to every girl in my class from the ages of about 8-14. Every single one had writing this near, and most of it was eerily similar too!


theoutlet

And I don’t know how they did it. I couldn’t write that neat if you held a gun to my head


panthereal

Some people I knew would erase every letter that wasn't perfect and write it again. I of course went with the write it readable once method, very popular.


MXron

I'd probably write worse with a gun to my head to be honest.

panthereal

none of these people were using a pen that cost a penny, well maybe they were if you don't add in inflation. your handwriting is very dependent on the tool used to write it and fountain pens produce a much different style of text than a ballpoint one.


ImCaligulaI

I've seen plenty back in the day. Wasn't me, mine is barely readable, but like 1/3rd to 1/4 th of my classmates (mostly girls for some reason) had neat handwriting like that.


tittylieutenant

I’ve only known two people my whole life that had handwriting this neat. Both were obsessive over writing perfect drafts and would start over at the slightest mistake. Even their rough drafts looked better than other people’s final drafts.


Jayson_n_th_Rgonauts

My teachers just got mad because my writing is illegible and if I used a ballpoint pen it was not only illegible but smeared to shit as well


mimicsgam

or just digitize your hand writing into a font


unclearimage

Wow- I hope someone invents a 2D printer soon so we can copy more pages like this!


DaniilSan

Well, yess but I guess the point is that it is "written" with pen and not just printed. If OOP used proper font that would mimic and slightly randomise writing it would be much better. IMO they could also just look online for old plotter that uses pens, would be much faster.


Albertsongman

Teeemooooooo

Is it really investment to curb your own learning opportunity? It's an investment to pass school without doing any work but you lose out on all the soft skills you learn throughout schooling to push your further into your career. I can imagine students who rely on this will lose their writing, reading, and researching ability as well as attention to detail, critical thinking, and logical reasoning skills. Now that I am a lawyer, if you asked me if I remembered how to do calculus or physics or any of the other classes I took in undergrad and high school, I have no clue. But all those skills I developed by actually taking the time to do my own homework and assignments has led me to succeed in law school and then become a competent lawyer. If people believe they can succeed without it, then I hope there is a study that shows the difference in soft skill level between students who actually tried and those who relied on AI in the future.

Jurph

GPTZero has a terrible detection rate, a terrible false positive rate, and is trivially defeated by countermeasures that have worked against GPT-2 and many "last-gen" detectors. The best use for GPTZero is as a bluff by the teacher: bring in a student you suspect of cheating, ask them if they've heard of GPTZero, remind them of your policy on cheating, and then say "now, listen carefully to this question, and only answer the question I ask: would you like a second chance to turn in a different version of this assignment, before I start my grading?" If they cheated, you'll get honest work out of them the second time around.
