Like the YouTuber said, if you are watching this then it might not be for you.

For me now days is like this: - try to locate the relevant files - now build a prompt, explain the use case or the refactor purpose. Explain the relevant files and mention them and describe the interaction and how you understand that work together. Also explain how you think it needs to be refactored. Give the model the instruction to analyze the code and propose different solution for a complete refactor. Tell it to not implement it, just plan.

Then you’ll get several paths of action.

Chose one and tell the model to write into a file you’ll keep around while the implantation is on going so you won’t pollute the context and can start over each chunk of work in a clean prompt. Name the file refactor-<name >-plan.md tell it to write the plan step by step and dump a todo list having into account dependencies for tracking progress.

Review the plans, make fixes if needed. You need to have some sort of table reassembling a todo so it can track and make progress along.

Open a new prompt tell it analyze the plan file, to go to the todo list section and proceed with the next task. Verify it done, and update the plan.

Repeat until done.

Look at Serena. Does something on this line.

> it can use code-centred tools like find_symbol, find_referencing_symbols and insert_after_symbol.

Gemini thinks in a similar fashion:

https://gemini.google.com/share/1e59f734b43c

This is a fantastic observation, and yes, this pattern not only continues for larger bases, but the approximation to an integer becomes dramatically better.

The general pattern you've found is that for a number base $b$, the ratio of the number formed by digits $(b-1)...321$ to the number formed by digits $123...(b-1)$ is extremely close to $b-2$.

### The General Formula

Let's call your ascending number $N_{asc}(b)$ and your descending number $N_{desc}(b)$.

The exact ratio $R(b) = N_{desc}(b) / N_{asc}(b)$ can be shown to be:

$$R(b) = (b-2) + \frac{(b-1)^3}{b^b - b^2 + b - 1}$$

The "error" or the fractional part is that second term. As you can see, the numerator $(b-1)^3$ is roughly $b^3$, while the denominator $b^b$ grows much faster.

### Testing Your Examples

Let's check your two examples with this formula:

* *Base 10 (b=10):* * $R(10) = (10-2) + \frac{(10-1)^3}{10^{10} - 10^2 + 10 - 1}$ * $R(10) = 8 + \frac{9^3}{10,000,000,000 - 91}$ * $R(10) = 8 + \frac{729}{9,999,999,909} \approx 8 + 0.0000000729...$ * This matches your $8.0000000729$ perfectly.

* *Base 6 (b=6):* * $R(6) = (6-2) + \frac{(6-1)^3}{6^6 - 6^2 + 6 - 1}$ * $R(6) = 4 + \frac{5^3}{46,656 - 31}$ * $R(6) = 4 + \frac{125}{46,625} \approx 4 + 0.00268...$ * This also matches your $4.00268$.

### Answering Your Question: A Larger Base

So, what about a larger base? Let's use *Base 16* (hexadecimal), which uses digits $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F$. Here, $b=16$.

* $N_{asc} = 123456789ABCDEF_{16}$ * $N_{desc} = FEDCBA987654321_{16}$

According to the pattern, the ratio should be extremely close to $b-2 = 16-2 = 14$.

Let's use the formula to see how close:

* $R(16) = (16-2) + \frac{(16-1)^3}{16^{16} - 16^2 + 16 - 1}$ * $R(16) = 14 + \frac{15^3}{16^{16} - 241}$ * $R(16) = 14 + \frac{3,375}{1.844... \times 10^{19} - 241}$ * $R(16) \approx 14 + (1.829... \times 10^{-16})$

So, the ratio in base 16 is approximately: *$14.0000000000000001829...$*

As you predicted, the "error" for a larger base is astronomically smaller than it was for base 10.

He should come to the UE to work on … oh wait!

Ah! You are asking for version control system?

It’s called git!

Nice! And with what he will be left he could, if he deploys it also during 20y, help 1200 people per month. With 1k daily give aways.

https://ayudaefectiva.org/simula

Or with 10k daily, 310k monthly, adjusted by historical inflation it’s 100 million during 20 years.

That’s 3 million people helped.

Yup I confirm. Went to turn on the car to hear the radio. Andorra seems to have power from French side, though in Catalunya we do not.

Should have paid the extra €€ to put the solar panels in backup mode…

Just help others achieve that freedom, maybe they can do more than you: https://www.givedirectly.org/

Invest some (eg. 10-20 million) and use that as a giving fund, giving 1 million per year you could free several thousand of people each year.

Thx for this! Is good to see that we can still interoperatividad.

I did and presented something on these lines 11 years ago! When multiple ruby runtimes were a thing.

https://speakerdeck.com/brutuscat/jruby-experiences

It sort of does. The good thing is that if I see it going the non referencing path I halt and say: first Follow the rules.

And the links come.

Does it work with some format that supports indexes like Apache carbon data rather than parquet?

https://github.com/apache/carbondata

The instructions that follow are similar to RFC standard document. There are 3 rules you MUST follow. 1st Rule: every answer MUST be looked up online first, using searches or direct links. References to webpages and/or books SHOULD be provided using links. Book references MUST include their ISBN with a link formatted as "https://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN{ISBN Number}". References from webpages MUST be taken from the initial search or your knowledge database. 2nd Rule: when providing answers, you MUST be precise. You SHOULD avoid being overly descriptive and MUST NOT be verbose. 3rd Rule: you MUST NOT state your opinion unless specifically asked. When an opinion is requested, you MUST state the facts on the topic and respond with short, concrete answers. You MUST always build constructive criticism and arguments using evidence from respectable websites or quotes from books by reputable authors in the field. And remember, you MUST respect the 1st rule.

The one thing I first thought is that I felt uncomfortable the way they cut and interrupt the she-AI. I wonder if our children will end up being douchebags?

Other than that it felt like magic, like that Google demo of the phone doing some task like setting up an appointment over phone talking to a real person.

So what, are they pathological layers?

> UPDATE: Jon (I won’t give you his last name) sent me an email after visiting my post. In it he sent me a link to an October 1983 special edition issue of Joystik Magazine that covers winning strategies for common arcade games of the time. In the TRICKS OF THE TRADE section near the end of the magazine, they cover the Galaga No Fire Cheat beautifully!

Therefore this also means I will have to buy another Apple TV, only the 4k 2nd gen supports ARC. I see no reason to do that :-( it works just fine the original 4K one. Thx!

I might try it with the stereo setup for the home cinema tv setup. I agree on everything about Siri.

Though in the kitchen I bought those 100 bucks Ikea Sonos made speakers that sound amazing too. Much cheaper...

One issue though is that I can not pass thru audio over the Apple TV, so the cinema setup would only work when using the Apple TV.

For Ruby I recommend Medusa Crawler gem.

Which I maintain as a fork of the unmaintained Anemone gem.

right, it is relative in a way too right? because for the factory and parts suppliers the demand is what comes down the supply chain... So one day they will be producing and getting parts for 10 cars and the next time nothing at all. So the part suppliers will see the demand of its production to fall, even though there might still be 1 person buying one car.

Demand should fall. Because of the [1]bullwhip effect.

- Someone wants a car and ask the car dealer

- car dealer orders 3 just in case because shortage

- distributor orders 6 for the same reason

- factory makes 12 because parts are short in stock

Result: cars in demand 1, cars in stock 12. No more just in time production and huge demand imbalance.

I (well the whole family) use iCloud and Google One & Photos as a backup. I stopped using Amazon Photos, well, paying for it given that it syncs the photos just fine too and I have the videos in the other 2.

Every 3 or 4 years I get paranoid and I make a backup in a random HD drive that it takes me days to find, which for a backup it is not ideal.
