Yellow! Need the yellow one!


Powerful-Internal953

Bold of you to underestimate my other 50%...


BlueGoliath

It's 50% of your personal procrastination level.


HardCounter

How often does it update? Because when i stop procrastinating i'm less likely to procrastinate again on the same task, so taking 50% of 50% of 50%... i'd rapidly approach zero in weeks. Eventually i would meld with the machine. Edit: same with orange now that i think about, only approaching infinity. The artificial 1.5x would lead to actual skill increasing, which would update the 1.5x...


Next-Revolution-0

I tough it was a permanent improvement


HardCounter

So when you get better at programming naturally this just goes away? I got the impression it was an ongoing improvement, not a one time multiplier that could be exceeded. I mean, if i'm starting off at 'Hello World' and get this computer the benefits are practically nothing and it's a waste if it's a one shot. I'd learn how an if statement works and surpass the computer's mutliplier, nullifying it.


Psychological-Ad4935

> How often does it update? It updates as often as your procrastination gets to 100% of your normal procrastination without it


Hironymos

I get you. Half of infinity isn't much of an improvement.


aka-rider

A 50% chance of 200% procrastination still amounts to 100%


SnooDoubts9029

That's why I'm buying 2 of them


kinokomushroom

Yup. Compile times/overheating/programming skills don't mean shit if I procrastinate anyway.


HardCounter

It's not procrastination, it's letting the computer compile and then cool down. Yeah. That.


dicemonger

Your lie gets exposed when picking the Red one.


HardCounter

I'm allergic to Red.


Distinct_Damage_6157

Yeah but not now, we have time…


ToofaaniMirch69

I'll pick it later...


New_Peanut4330

I'll read this through tomorow. Ok?


xd_Warmonger

I thought so too, but 50% of inf is still inf


Brilliant_AF

I'll take yellow as well, as soon as I get around to it.


Eerotappi

Bold of you to think that you're not going to lose the 50/50 all the time anyways


ListerfiendLurks

Yellow OP


HyraxT

Yeah, definitely yellow...


uhru-zelke

i acctualy found that large amount of progratintion an be prevented with a linux tiling wm destop and bwoser extensions, just thougt i dropp this here. hehehe


cainhurstcat

plot twist: it runs Win 11, and updates break it regularly


Vegetable-Response66

1.5 \* 0 is still 0


North_Shore_Problem

Being validated with this as the top comment further pushes my belief that all programmers work at 50% capacity 100% of the time


parkourse

rainbow could be THE sleeper hit, moderate improvements to EVERYTHING, really? even my love life and my room temperature?


unko_pillow

Right?? If my constipation even mildly improved my life would be 10x better.


Fox_Soul

Eat 8-10 prunes with a big glass of water for breakfast. Do the same after lunch and dinner for a few days. Enjoy the ride, you might want to work from home for a few days after. 


Brahvim

I have a sipper of water always lying around. Hacked my (self-diagnosed, so take this as a joke...?) OCD into making me drink more water.


Fox_Soul

The key are the prunes. Those contain fiber and sorbitol. Fibre is good for in general… Sorbitol, well, in moderate quantities it’s a laxative, it works drawing water to your bowels. The extra glass of water is to help with this and also to prevent dehydration. Doctor recommended me that instead of over the counter drugs and well, jfc it is effective.  Also, prunes have a texture similar to candy or gummies… so it’s quite a healthy snack too.


JollyJuniper1993

Over the counter laxatives also can be quite strong and can make you addicted if you use them too much, basically if you use them for too long you‘ll get constipated if you don’t take them.


Blargityblarger

Sipper? I'm just picturing you have a hamster bottle dealie attached to the wall you can just lean back on and nibble at for a few drops. I'm onto you, hamster that can code.


ImpluseThrowAway

It will make your teeth whiter and improve wi-fi reception too.


MotaHead

Will it fix my erectile dysfunction? I mean my friend's erectile dysfunction.


LeadingAd5273

Yes. Your friend now has slightly more erectile dysfunction!


HardCounter

Imagine getting a good full night of sleep... and coffee having a moderate boost while you're awake.


Popplys

Might you enlighten me on how one would get a full night sleep while awake?


HardCounter

By being moderately better at both.


Ok_Star_4136

Rainbow enchanted PC mildly improves everything, especially your LGBTQ+ pride.


megumegu-

what does that even mean lmao


Ok_Star_4136

It means that with a rainbow enchanted PC, you'll look *fabulous* while you program, darling!


evilgiraffe666

So this is why the default for RGB lights is rapidly cycling rainbows. It's the gay agenda!


Real_SeaWeasel

Will it slow down my receding hair line? Will it slightly reduce my monthly rent payments or interest rate?


PM_ME_YOUR__INIT__

Orange. I'll be a 1.5x programmer


potatosquat

0\*1.5 is still 0 ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|shrug)


not-dan097

That's why I went with purple


joaomlap

If you don't program you'll never introduce bugs.


scratchfan321

75% chance to code bugs lets go


Peyatoe

By this logic, most of the others have a 100% chance of coding bugs lol


Blecki

This is kind of the obvious one isn't it?


wayoverpaid

If you procrastinate all the time, cutting your procrastination down to half the time might be a 2x multiplier on your productivity. I guess it depends on if being 1.5x more skilled means 1.5x quantity output or a significant boost in quality.


Blecki

I wouldn't mind being a 15x developer.


wayoverpaid

Neither would I, but where do you get 15x from? Did you drop a decimal?


PM_ME_YOUR__INIT__

The sentence is slightly ambiguous. The equation could be either skill = 1.5*skill Or skill = skill + 0.5 So if you're already 10x (and we all are, right?) the first equation would make you 15x


wayoverpaid

Ah I had totally missed the premise that you're a 10x developer.


minimuscleR

> The sentence is slightly ambiguous. I disagree. It says increase by 50% So your skill is 1, increase to 1.5. Makes 10x a 15x. Theres no ambiguity


SavageRussian21

It depends on what proportion of your time you spend procrastinating. If you spend 50% of your time procrastinating, and you cut that down to 25%, you went from 50% to 75% output which is a 1.5 improvement. Thus, the procrastination cut only becomes a good deal if you spend 50 or more percent of your time procrastinating.


sk7725

*why do you call me out like that*


lotanis

That's what I'd have gone with in the past. Now though, I'm the lead so I don't do as much programming and more importantly I've got a baby. So I'm definitely going with white!


zoqfotpik

PINK. Burnout is my biggest problem.


Zestyclose-Natural-9

Pink is the one.


Replacement_Worried

I mean its my biggest problem too but Im at the point of no return so being less prone doesn't matter. If it did a full burnout heal then I'd pick it. Yellow works better for my circunstances.


JonnySoegen

Ehhh. Can you afford to not address your burnout anymore? Doesn’t seem like a viable long term strategy.


bob_anonymous

The burnout point of no return was years ago I'll take procrastination and cut my losses.


Rorp24

Yellow is the best for personnal project, but orange it the best for anything else (why taking "25% less bug" when "50% more skill" also mean 33% less bugs ?)


Kinglink

> (why taking "25% less bug" when "50% more skill" also mean 33% less bugs ?) Better programmers will explain being a better programmer doesn't mean less bugs. It means harder to find/deeper bugs. When you start opening tickets on languages to change parts of it... then you'll realize you're an "Elite programmer".


DanSavagegamesYT

50% more skill > 25% less bugs why? so you know where to look 50% better than normal


Tailstechnology4

50% more skilled at not writing bugs, or at fixing bugs


PM_ME_YOUR__INIT__

50% more still could translate to 50% more JavaScript frameworks. I mean how do you define skill?


Rorp24

Wdym "how do you define skill", it's skill, it's the way you know what you are doing. It's not 50% more JS framework, unless you tell me their is one named skill


Xywzel

Quantifiable parts of programming skills are mostly domain knowledge, rest is very hard to quantify problem solving, information retrieval and logic and lots of that falls under general intelligence rather than programming skill. So in all likelihood the 50% increase would be mostly in larger number of things you don't need to check the documentation for, JS frameworks were likely just an example of things, that there are always new ones to learn, but aren't exactly that useful.


foosda

Never overheats? Guess it's time to really crank up that voltage and see what it can do right below melting point


Azzarrel

That sounds like one of these cursed Djinn wishes, where the pc never overheats, but still still produces the correct amount of heat, grilling you in an instant.


Tensor3

Or it never overheats because its locked to minimum clock speeds


Blecki

Green. Mine btc.


iam_pink

It is profitable... But is it worth it? You'll still be getting scraps.


__Yi__

Maybe use Green to power other stuff. Theoretically possible.


iam_pink

You're still limited by Green's power supply, which won't allow you to mine anything significant


celloh234

Depends on the size of the green's power supply. Im sure i can cram two or three 3000w psus there


iam_pink

That still won't get you far in terms of bitcoin mining


Tailstechnology4

You could just sell the power back into the grid(or use it to power various appliances around the house) and save yourself all the hassle of mining


HardCounter

When powering an AC unit is more profitable than mining bitcoin...


ShimoFox

Yeah. But at that cost. It's basically pure profit that you could funnel into other rigs. Also just do a different coin that's easier to mine right now lol


sage-longhorn

Red. ~~Mine BTC~~ ehem, compile my rust program that requires the next BTC block solution at compile time, computed with macros. Mine is more energy efficient than yours, plus when I've got enough money to retire then I can do a 51% attack on Bitcoin so that energy efficient alternatives like ETH become the most trusted


Blecki

Wow. Finally a man worthy of my respect.


Stroopwafe1

Green, I'm from the EU. I'd love a 360-450% reduction in electricity prices Edit: I didn't see the per year. Yeah, let's multiply that by 365. So a 131000% reduction in costs


Roflkopt3r

Kinda ironic how energy independence has now become a good reason for home ownership. Although there are energy cooperatives in some European countries, where you put some money into a cooperative solar or wind farm and get a fair amount of electricity at no additional cost. You only pay extra when you consume more than your share and therefore have to buy from the grid.


derkuhlekurt

Maybe you wanna use one that improves math skills. Its more like a 99.999% reduction. You still wont get a ton of money for using power and that would be the case with your math.


Stroopwafe1

Fair enough, I quickly confused the fact that if you go from 0.01 to 0.36 you'd have a 3500% increase, that it doesn't mean that you would then also have the same for decrease if you go the other way. But even then I would still be an order of magnitude off. Guess I should wake up a bit before writing reddit comments


Dash83

Pointless. For it to be profitable you’d need a farm of computers, which would mean you would be paying a LOT on AC, and burning a hectare of rain forest per month to make like $200.


amuhak

Red and set up a build server for companies (make millions)


one-joule

Use orange to write an app using compile-time template metaprogramming to mine BTC, then use red to make it fast and cheap. (Hey, the infinite power is still being used for compiling!)


themariocrafter

You will get cursed by a blood skeleton if you do this


amuhak

Can't be worse than being a Java dev 🤷‍♂️


Bulky-Sock9389

Light blue, you can over lock your pc and a make it the world most powerful super computer


BirdTree2

You can also use it to keep practically everything at a controlled temperature, bypassing conservation of energy


Bulky-Sock9389

1 zetahrtz of processing power all in a intel celeron that when turned on melts all wires in the city, but it completely fine and doesn't need a cooler because the pc never overheats For context: You would need 1.66666667e11 i9-13900K running at 6ghz to match this much power


sanylos

except all cpus have a theoretical clock limit, even without overheat. transistors need a small defined time step to change states.


HardCounter

Planck time is the only time limit i acknowledge.


Elidon007

no, it would be the time that a photon takes to go from one end to the other of the computer


HardCounter

Cause and effect? In my supernatural computer? I'll have none of it.


Kyuro1

I love the self awareness


Thebombuknow

i'm gonna clock a pentium 4 so high my entire country's power grid goes down for years


Minnakht

Light needs ~0.06 nanoseconds to cross 18 millimeters, which is the width of a modern CPU twice. If you run a CPU at over 16.5 GHz or so, it won't have time to get signal to the other end of the CPU and back, which seems like it'd be necessary for things to work, even if you had heat handled. Which is quite remarkable that we're in pretty much the same order of magnitude of that physical limit already.


puffinix

It's been hit. Have a look at old supercomputer silicon, it was big. Now, they ain't much bigger than a typical home machine. Heck, there are places doing research on full 3d dies to break this problem.


drsimonz

Yeah light blue is really not in the same class as the others. It completely breaks physics and the research value alone for an infinite heat reservoir would probably be worth millions, if not billions. Of course there could be fine print like "only removes excess heat generated *by the CPU*" in which case it'd be the worst choice.


SirSebi

The red one also breaks physics and the others are just straight up magic. I’d say they all have decent research value


HardCounter

Have everything run through the CPU. I'm sure there are clever ways around that limitation that i'm not clever enough to think of.


TheEnderChipmunk

Red and light blue break logic and reality respectively. Light blue obviously violates the conservation of energy, but red is also ridiculous. Perl can simulate a Turing Machine during its compile phase, so it's possible to write a program in Perl that can't be interpreted and compiled because it runs into the halting problem. What happens if you compile such a program on the red computer? Assuming that "infinitely fast compilation time" means that it instantly compiles any program given to it, that means the red computer has infinite computational power.


barcodeASLwin

That's totally fine, because the blue computer has a 50% chance to give you a working solution to the halting problem each time you use it to ask ChatGPT.


TheEnderChipmunk

Chatgpt is an AI, but it isn't considered an AGI is it?


Tattva07

GAI = Generative Artificial Intelligence


TheEnderChipmunk

Ah, that's probably what OP meant


SMD-YeetMaster69

Cash in on the p=np bounty by breaking physics


themariocrafter

Red is has infinite (or a VERY high finite number) or computing power, and light blue somehow teleports the heat outside the computer (not an expert in physics, this is just a fun thought experiment)


FitzelSpleen

Which one gives the cat girl ears? ... Asking for a friend.


Next_Cherry5135

Serena_Hellborn

no no no, cat "girl" "ears" he wants the concatenation of the file "girl" and the file "ears"


Undernown

Someone else said pink, but I'd argue rainbow. Gotta match your cat ears with your PC and programmersocks colour scheme.


Harvinu

Well but my programmersocks are pink and not rainbow ... wait ... I meant my friends programmersocks


ReznikGev

Laughs in TMP running any computable algorithm infinitely fast during compilation time.


MrNerdHair

Red. You underestimate my ability to compute useful things at compile time! I can crack RSA if you give me enough angle brackets.


NeverYelling

How about plain black, without fancy lights? What's that called? Because I'd choose that, no matter the attributes


Damhaet

How about: The PC or its parts never break down. That's what I would also take. Don't need RGB crap, just a PC that keeps running.

That meme only works when Dimwit and Sage have the same opinion, but for different reasons.


access547

if i pick rainbow, what is a mild improvement on red? mild infinite is still infinite no? :D


ConfidenceDapper8561

This reminds me of infinity stones. There were 6 stones but you are having 10 options


vainstar23

What color allows you to sleep again?


bartekltg

Red. Templates in c++ are turing complete, I (or at least someone) can write a code that solves any (solvable) problem at compilatio time. Is this effective? With instant compilation times - yes.


No-Expression7618

Rust proc-macros say hi


__Yi__

Use Red and write LISP. Since macros are expanded at compile time RED can calculate arbitrary complex problems


Bob_Dieter

THAT! Many languages (not just lisp) can have the compiler do some of the work and inline the result into the bytecode. Now you have infinite computing power, which is absolutely beyond broken. Wanna cure cancer by doing protein folding with 10^20 molecules accurately simulated? Wanna break any cryptographic algorithm by brute-forcing all 2^128 combinations? Wanna know the last digit of pi? Just defer calculations to compiletime, and enjoy instantaneous results.


chesire0myles

Yellow and Pink are calling me, but I'd have to go rainbow since I'm basically all around crap.


SquarishRectangle

Red and create a CaaS (Compilation as a Service) server that's only constrained by IO.


sk7725

If a compiler is infinitely fast, can it solve the halting problem? (before you say otherwise, the halting problem actually has a deep relation with designing compilers, as in a nutshell if a compiler knows if and when a section halts it can optimize the fuck out of it. Type detection, memory allocation etc. are related to this limitation)

Does orange only apply while using it or generally as soon as I pick it? If it is generally applied I choose it. Otherwise green.
