Now get ready for fuzzy logic!

  • -1.0 = false
  • 0.0 = neutral
  • 1.0 = true

Also now you know more about AI than most AI bros on the internet.

The not so funny thing is that if you try this in scripting languages -1 and 1 are both truthy so...

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Because you need to infer the fuzzy boolean as a type (I personally plan to make one that works between -127 and 127, on integers instead of floats), and then write an interpreter to use the values accordingly.

I think I saw a 2...

[–] i_am_tired_boss@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Go back to bed bender, there's no such thing as a 2

Think of the fun we'd have, still no 2 though.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Fake news. There's no such thing as a 2.

C be like "this shit is true af" and it's the number 6396128.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And it’s an error code from a library call, because false means the call succeeded.

[–] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago

This is the way. Exceptions are overrated.

Bool me once, shame on thee. Bool me twice, shame on me.

[–] kubica@fedia.io 2 points 2 days ago

Bool or bool not, there's no twice.

Bash would be confused

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 5 points 2 days ago

Use perl exec to run a bash script. Now you're confused, too. And not just about why you're using perl.

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Bash, does in fact apply to all UNIX-like shells.

[–] Scoopta@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

Yes I know, I was gonna say "shell is confused" but it just didn't feel like it had the same ring to it

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

if (true) return BIG;

[–] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

I think that this couldn't be any funnier.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 12 points 2 days ago

I think some memes should have a sign that says: "You must be this high to ride".

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

True.

1.00 is so real
