The smallest AND gates using Comparators (read description)

I have searched for this particular use case of comparators, but nobody called it as the NIMPLY Gate. Thanks to Kebabisoos from ORE, I got to know that the NIMPLY gate even exists.

However, I have been using it for my builds for any kind of AND gate and it's really really convenient for various cases.

NIMPLY Construction:

Comparator in subtract mode with side input and back input giving either same non-zero signal strength or zero.

NIMPLY looks like: A AND (NOT B). One simply needs to use another NOT gate on the side input in order to make the setup an AND gate.

(This post might be obvious to many, but it had to be documented because this is an extremely niche practice in logical redstone)

This one comment broke me.

(Censored the username so that none of you annoy him)

These days, I post stuff as usual on Btechtards. Most of the posts I comment in get rem-ved. There was a time when I used to post stuff everyday, but now, because of my workflow, I don't.

Yesterday, under a post on reservation, I saw a repetitive meme. The meme felt problematic, and... like, you know, the usual occurrence of something problematic becoming something normal? "Normalization" is the word.

I just wanted to say what was truthfully out there about reservation, because I myself didn't know what stance to take. For this, I actually understood what was exactly the case and even wrote a long comment on it. Because I felt like AI could say some stuff better, I added those bullet points to my writing, but ONLY for the one-shot two-shot case.

Now, after speaking the truth, I got downv-ted pretty hard. Wasn't much. Someone told me, "stop [justifying] or incompetence" or something. Nothing much. Someone told me, "you weren't among [the bright bunch, were you?]" or something. Admitted I wasn't that bright (and tried to do so in a serious, sincere manner, because that was also kinda true). Someone commented it was AI slop. People usually think my comments are AI slop based on the length. Yes, I didn't put a comma between slop and based just to show you- oh wait, I didn't even put a comma in this sentence too.

Then, finally, I saw the comment as stated in the image. It broke something in me.

Thought of trying to justify my intelligence, but I fear it would be considered as arrogance. In fact, I didn't initially understand the first part of the comment.

Anyway.

This one comment genuinely felt disheartening. I couldn't take it as a joke anymore. The thing that was being talked about was genes. Gone from a zygote to an adult, chromosomes pulled in the anaphase everytime, skin shedding everytime, blood vessels circulating everywhere - mocking my biology was the matter of the discussion. From the thing I wrote, people started to mock me as a being.

I didn't mention one comment. I didn't reply to that, but it's because it was not part of the problem, and also because I don't fully understand the comment.

Reservation ka mudda tum logon ko insaan ki tarah bachne nahin dega. General ke tarah hee exam mein baitha tha, aur main Tier 3 mein bhi join kiya tha. Mains ka marks mujhe utna help nahin kiya. Angrezi mein ek muhavra hain "back to square one", wahan se hee shuru kiya tha apna college journey. Mere paas sirf mera knowledge tha jo maine online se liya tha. Physics ke Labs mein almost fail karte karte bach gaya, kyunki accha hee nahin lagta tha jaane mein.

Jo bhi kar raha hoon, jaisa bhi main hoon mere college mein, sirf apne dam se hoon. Main toh sirf satya ko dekhna chahta tha/dikhana chahta tha. Aur tum logon ne hagg diya.

Feels really disheartening how the environmentalists are anti-nuclear, ans a lot of other things.

First of all, I am not a person who is qualified enough to talk about nuclear or environmental science. I am mainly from the formal sciences, which is why I have no experience how research works in the natural sciences specifically. However, given the fact that I do not know if every environmentalist subreddit is anti-nuclear, I thought that it would be great if I mentioned the issues here, and you guys correct me on what is actually happening.

There are two issues I want to ask about, you guys know very much about the second one, the first one is something not many might have a definitive answer. Here it goes:

  1. The Green Revolution is something that has made the world hunger reduce by a huge extent. It is also controversial. There is an organization made by Bill Gates and the Rockerfeller Foundation called the Alliance for Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA). Now, various environmentalists went against it, because of the corporate controlled seeds and because of the biotech industry. There was even a paper floating around; it wasn't even published to some journal; I don't even know if the claims here are misleading or not, but based on the fact that they were openly criticizing AGRA, it might definitely be biased: https://bpb-us-e1.wpmucdn.com/sites.tufts.edu/dist/0/5123/files/2020/07/20-01\_Wise\_FailureToYield.pdf

  2. Now, while trying to fact check the above claim, while searching "why do environmentalists" on google, found "why do environmentalists hate nuclear power". Found this subreddit, and it felt like a space where scientific discourse is taken care of and is not merely cast into the notion of "captialism bad". Now, here, I noticed something quite contradictory: people talking about the anti-nuclear lobby and how the future is being stolen, people talking about how the common people do not want nuclear energy running their datacenters (despite nuclear being safe), and how the environmentalists don't like nuclear power.

Both of these feel contradictory, and it feels as if I am looking at two entirely different viewpoints.

What do you guys think? I think I went on a tangent here...

In Aksharamukha, I noticed how in Tamil Brahmi, "Dha" is present, however, in modern Tamil, it is nowhere to be seen. Why is this the case?

Gamak really shined in Asur Chalisa

She basically nailed it. One doesn't need to be massy to be popular. DHH needs lyrical raps more.

Dictionary kholna chahiye; easy aur massy banane ke chakkar mein arth ke dhaagon ko kho baithenge. Situational ho, novelty ho, jo bhi ho, magar unapologetically authentic hain. Hona bhi chahiye. Log toh rahenge jinko lyrical rap bohot hee zyada accha lagta hain (main khud $ ka Vyanjan repeat mein chalata hoon).

Agar Lifafa ka hee example le, vaise music ko bhi "novelty" music bolke chalaya jaa sakta hain, magar ek din woh novelty music bhi popular ho jaayega (aur ho bhi gaya hain).

Yes, learning enough about Hip-Hop is essential, but songs like these have already set the bar a lot higher, no need to be a mimic.

Numpy and Pandas are so goated

Pandas just feels like an extension of SQL. I can do anything I want. I was literally analyzing my osu

I had to find the highest element on a 2D matrix. numpy.max(matrix) was literally enough for this. I mean, we don't have to write iterations anymore.

I love how I am writing argmax for the first time after learning about it in the definition of rationality with respect to AI. I love pandas, I love numpy.

It feels really sad to see how Danse Macabre (2026) was received by the people. People were hurling abuses. This is not what I expect.

Before downvoting my post, please hold on for a moment.

https://youtu.be/qy6j28Qw92g

Danse Macabre's storyboards consisted of oil paintings, Blender for lighting, and a lot of other stuff.

The controversial one is the shader used to 'blend' the 3D models to his paintings. The shader was made out of machine learning from the artist's own art and then was integrated to Blender.

> F*ck you! This is the end of art! You should all be ashamed, Annecy Festival! You should know better[...]

These words were said during the screening of this 5-minute film at the Annecy Film Festival.

What makes this sad as a CS student is... Google Translate is a useful example of Machine Learning. It just means to make the machine output some program for data and results. This is frankly one of the most basic things in Computer Science, and there remains a huge existential crisis.

Like, if CS grads try to make art using the tools they learned, suddenly, the society doesn't accept them anymore? Am I hearing it right? Or is it just the intrusion of AI?

This is not even a point of criticism. Just like the artists felt sad, I feel sad because the tools I use (and am learning) will have no legitimacy anymore. This is what I was fearing. At least art will have its legitimacy, but what about someone trying to be creative using his own works? They won't be able to. This means, in a hypothetical scenario, everything I will try to make using an ML model using my knowledge of CS will be swiftly rejected.

For me, this is beyond the mud-slinging of the pros vs antis that goes on here.

For me, this is an apology, something that none of the sides have probably made here.

I am sorry on behalf of the leeching companies. I really can't see some of the foundational tools I will use taken away from me. I can't imagine the vomit emojis I would see, if I make something someday, even with the help of machine learning.

> তোমাদের পানে চাহিয়া বন্ধু আর আমি জাগিব না,
কোলাহল করে সারা দিনমান কারো ধ্যান ভাঙিব না।
নিশ্চল, নিশ্চুপ;
আপনার মনে পুড়িব একাকী গন্ধবিধুর ধূপ।।

আপনারা protest করতে পারবেন কোনোভাবে digitally track না হয়ে। উপায় আছে।

https://readnarrowpath.com/

তিরিশটি অধ্যায় আছে। মন দিয়ে পড়বেন। এ.আই. এর সাহায্য নিয়ে দয়া করে এই লেখাটা পড়বেন না। ডকুমেন্টটি মার্কিন আমজনতার জন্য লেখা হলেও ভারতীয় নাগরিকদের জন্যও ভীষণ কাজে লাগবে।

আরেকটা জিনিসঃ দয়া করে Signal ইন্সটল করুন। NSA ও CIA ডিরেক্টর মাইকেল হেডেন বলেছিল যে তারা নাকি metadata ব্যবহার করে লোকেদের মারে... ওয়াটস্যাপ কিন্তু metadata unencrypted রাখে, কিন্তু Signal এ এসব হয় না।

You can keep yourself untrackable and can organize. Even if the government tries to wiretap.

https://readnarrowpath.com/

This has 30 chapters. For anyone organising a protest, read it carefully. It contains literally every way you can be tracked. It's from an American perspective, but it's insanely useful. Read all the chapters. (btw, please don't feed this book to any LLM. please.)

One more thing, install Signal right now. It's much more secure than WhatsApp, because the State can't track anymore through metadata, because Signal doesn't keep any.

We are the only people who can bring about a change. Please make the future protests successful.

(I know a girl whose Re-NEET wasn't that great. She is literally not feeling like doing anything or even studying anything. I met with her just before the Re-NEET, and I could clearly see her hesitation when the topic of the NEET exams came up. I cannot bear a literal bloodshed as a response when I see the loss of innocence in the younger generation.)

In every IRCCloud account I sign up, I see "Libera (disabled)" everywhere and 400 errors

>400 * WHO Disconnected from upstream network

>Reched the maximum number of networks

I really just used Libera from IRCCloud, but today, when I tried to sign in after months, I was greeted with no channels in the gamja client and 400 errors as stated above.

This happens in every account. I don't know what to do.

Respectfully, I had the same opinions regarding "soul" when the artists started to speak out. But "a working code" and "a painting/an ideal maths formula" are two different things. One is functional, one is elegant.

So, I played on 6B6T, the server Microsoft wanna guardian upon.

>They're illegal. They are not in any way affiliated with Microsoft... In fact, we consider it piracy.

Remember that being said by the ESA representative (lobbied by Microsoft)?

Well, Minecraft cracked down on 6b6t. The original server link can no longer be fully accessed through vanilla Minecraft. The server was for everyone, even for the ones who didn't have a Minecraft account.

(Cracked clients can still access, google for the online-mode way)

I entered, and voila, I could enter! There were no waiting lines, no 20 dollars, nothing. It wasn't like 2b2t. It genuinely felt like anyone could join. This was my first time playing on some anarchy server of this level.

Unlike whatever shenanigans Microsoft pulled, the chat was not filled with anti-Microsoft stuff. It was filled with... Wither having various invite links, kit stuff, crying obsidian highways, water towers, and a lot more. The desire paths felt kinda beautiful.

I died a lot of times while jumping from the obsidian floor. Once, when I actually landed safely, I started to explore and explore, on and on...

I really had no hope left for myself, I just wanted to see what the world has for me now that my happy times IRL were about to be over and I would have to attend my college again, hustle again... WHATEVER-

So, I kept walking and walking.

My hearts were decreasing. At one point, I had two hearts. Then one heart. Then half.

Finally, I rested near the place the creeper was approaching.

It was all too beautiful. It was the place.

I know anarchy server people go anywhere they want, but let me tell you my coordinates where I died: -373 65 -1497. You guys can verify it and see the place for what it is.

Finally, some words on Mojang and Microsoft. We knew what was going to happen. 6B6T has no chat filters. And honestly, idk if they need to. I saw some slurs, some spams, and many godforsaken invite links. Kids might be gullible, but does Microsoft need to act like the guardians here?

I don't know.

Draconic legislation for the US or the UK or the EU is not just affecting those countries, it's affecting the whole world.

Losing 6B6T might mean losing something genuine, something I will probably never get after it is fully blocked. For now, Microsoft is playing the whack-a-mole.

If you guys really really don't support an online-mode=off server going through this, you guys can join this server for one last time.

Till then? বাঁড়া চাঁদ উঠেছিল গগনে।

What to improve here from a design standpoint? (Correction: Restaurants use 20-25k L water/day)

referred to a tutorial on making infographics, made it a pentagon instead of a hexagon.

I can link to the videos I talked about, but that's not the main point. My question is, how to make better designs?
