TS as a statically typed language is not what I would call it. It's a language with enforced type annotations but can be circumvented pretty easily. For example when receiving a JSON from an http request a string field can be just whatever.

I'll join in
const isEven = (n)
=> !["1","3","5","7","9"]
.includes(Math.round(n).toString().slice(-1))
Maybe it was my CS major talking there. An algorithm is a sequence of steps to reach a desired outcome such as updating a neural network. The network itself is essentially just a big heap of values you multiply through if you were curious.
Yeah absolutely, I'm specifically talking about AI as a neural network/reinforcement learning/machine learning and whatnot. Top of the line weather algorithms are now less accurate than neural networks.
LLMs as doctors are pretty garbage since they're predicting words instead of classifying a photo into yes/no or detecting which part of the sleep cycle a sleeping patient is in.
Fun fact, the closer you get the actual math the less magical the words become. Marketing says "AI", programming says "machine learning" or "neural network", mathematicians say "reinforcement learning".
Yeah, I might actually play wow since I can reduce the XP scaling by a lot. It goes from 50 mobs at lvl 10 to 600+ to level up at lvl 60. I have a 7mo old no way I have time for that hahaha.
I use SQL for work so I can mod the DB easily to remove the exponential scaling in favor of linear scaling like mob XP scales.
You can mod the database for creatures to drop more xp, gold and loot from the looks of it.
Update, I downloaded the VMangos database. It looks like it might be possible to edit drop rates with creature_loot_template(ChanceOrQuestChance) and XP gain by using creature_template(xp_multiplier)
I haven't hosted anything yet but it could be tested by editing a Chicken's xp_multiplier from 0.0 to 1.0
I've been seriously turned off by the grind of WoW. Are you able to do something like reduce the XP level scaling or something so that every level is like 30m and improve drop rates?
Instead of a funded NHS people got austerity.
To expand on this a bit AI in medicine is getting super good at cancer screening in specific use cases.
People now heavily associate it with LLMs hallucinating and speaking out of their ass but forget about how AI completely destroys people at chess. AI is already getting better than top physics models at weather predicting, hurricane paths, protein folding and a lot of other use cases.
AI's uses in specific well defined problems with a specific outcome can potentially become way more accurate than any human can. It's not so much about removing humans but handing humans tools to make medicine both more effective and efficient at the same time.
Gradually typed is a great description because it's neither fully static or dynamic. TS does allow you to circumvent the types too easily to be called statically typed.
Is ok in TS land so the type of
strings
is not really static so to speak because you can assign whatever to it. Writing this in Dart would giveif I'm not mistaken.
