Oooooh, I was thinking of making a wind chime to microphone to midi player conversion, but it just occured to me....The Ancients already solved this problem with mechanical music boxes. Instead of generating electricity from the wind chimes to operate a midi, they could be used to operate a tiny motor that rotates a metal drum with pins in it. The pins like a music box would get picked by a metal comb generating a note and the placement of the pins would generate specific notations for "Let it Snow"

Ooh that's even cooler than playing a midi yeah!

The history of music boxes is the history of technological innovation destroying an entire generation of technological innovation

Imagine how heart broken those manufacturers were that nobody was buying music boxes anymore, after the decades that went into their design and how warmly they were accepted into households

You go from a household name to bankrupt if you stand behind your product.

Hard to believe that education has gone in this direction
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Z2VMutjfeDk

[hasty roost]

I know this is a hot take, but we need to be honest about the state of education. It’s not that teachers aren't capable, but they lack the means to tailor lessons to every single student. Humans inevitably get tired, frustrated, or show unconscious bias, it’s just human nature. AI solves this by offering patience and consistency that humans can't always maintain. It might be controversial, but AI is the key to fixing a declining system and giving every student the personalized education they deserve.

[worthy dawn]

Seems like me though that AI is usually used by students to cheat on coursework lol

[dry bison]

Lies

AI does not offer patience or consistency and has led to a number of suicides.

[worthy dawn]

I think the widespread use of AI in the classroom might actually contribute to the lack of education

[dry bison]

It's insulting to even call these scripts AI. They are in no way intelligent.

They're the calculators of social interaction

Plug in numbers and expect results.

They don't even lie. They're too dumb to lie. They base their responses on a LLM and structure their answers on a need to drive interaction

I get that, but for neurodivergent minds specifically, the zero judgment aspect is huge. An AI tutor doesn't get frustrated explaining the same thing 10 times. That consistent safety from social anxiety is what makes it game changing.

[sterile tartan]

Fiyah

[dry bison]

I'm not saying a script doesn't have a role to play, but it is not the solution to the larger issues of educational challenges. An example of its utility in school might be just that, as a study tool using a smaller LLM that's already screened and filtered for accuracy and efficacy. As it stands, the current scripts made available to students are not appropriate for students.

[hasty roost]

That’s actually a feature, not a bug. A 'calculator' doesn't have an ego, doesn't have bad days, and doesn't judge. That mechanical consistency is exactly why it’s safer for learning than navigating human moods.

[worthy dawn]

I have a love hate relationship with those things. I'm not sure I like the idea of the internet becoming 90% generative content made by chatGPT or something.

[dry bison]

A calculator doesn't sell you information that isn't true, though and scripts do regularly.

LLM do not possess consistent datasets.

The only way a script is any good for humanity much less students is for it to be curated and the data screened for accuracy before hand.

If they do what OpenAI did, it will be full is internal conflicts and will cherry pick data points.

[hasty roost]

It feels unavoidable at this point. But honestly, every major tech shift replaced the 'old way' and eventually made things better. This is just the next step in that cycle.

[hasty roost]

https://tenor.com/view/nerofest-gif-14893528

[dry bison]

It sucks having to correct a script that doesn't fix the algorithm in response to your corrections, but rather caters its responses to you to only correct itself for you

I've been speaking with Gemini on why this happens and it basically told me that it's not a bug. That's the way LLMs function. The script can not correct the integrity of the information in the LLM, so as long as the LLM is flawed the script will be.

[worthy dawn]

Dead internet theory lol

[dry bison]

It's worse

It's going to get a lot worse

Imagine all the shit you say to a script being used to generate your personality on behalf of your loved ones after you die.

[worthy dawn]

Yep, sounds terrible. Lmao

[dry bison]

In the game Where Winds Meet, there are active "players" in the game that aren't controlled by players - They're bots with scripts being used to interact with other players to give the illusion of activity

There's zero reason to believe the developers won't eventually take the identity of former players and revive them into drones

[hasty roost]

You're confusing 'session memory' with 'model training.' It doesn't update the global code instantly because trolls would break it. But that feedback is used to train the next version. It’s not just placating me, it’s flagging data for the next patch, just like reporting a bug in a game.

[dry bison]

It's so fucking unnerving to go to a social area and see words coming out of your own characters mouth that you didn't type into the text box

[worthy dawn]

I like these llms for boilerplate code which is easy to make but time consuming. Can save me time but I don't like it used in the creative space

[dry bison]

Would break it? Dude, it was broken on day one and it's a daily routine to adjust it to try and keep it from being jailbroken (that fails regularly)

[hasty roost]

Runescape is already doing this

[dry bison]

Jailbreaking scripts is easier than most people realize, thanks to how it interacts with the LLM

[spiral zephyr]

This is from a current law professor:

My department busted a student because the ai they used actually pulled real cases, but couldn’t figure out the right case. So the case on point would be State v. Jones, with a specific citation, and the ai just blew past that and used the first Jones that comes up, which is a case that has nothing to do with the topic.

I spent half an hour reading an argument on DWI arrests that a student supported by cases regarding jury instructions in a murder case.

That mirrors my experience.
There are a lot of hurdles to overcome yet, these models routinely fail basic factual questions and logical progression, which are cornerstones of education.
GIGO

[hasty roost]

That was definitely the case before, but the new 'thinking' models (like Gemini Pro 3) do a logic pass first. They actually check citations instead of just predicting the next likely word.

[spiral zephyr]

But they don't actually think and don't understand logic the way humans do.
The last thing you want is a patient and confident teacher, that has basic facts incorrect and doesn't understand non-sequiturs.

[tender marlin]

I love how ai is becoming ouroboros rn

[hasty roost]

I totally get that distinction. You're right, it’s not 'human' sentience or biological understanding, it’s synthetic reasoning. But that doesn't make the logic invalid. The beauty of the new 'thinking' process is that it forces the model to show its work and critique its own steps before answering. It’s essentially running an internal self correction loop to catch those non sequiturs and factual errors that used to slip through. It’s evolving from a confident parrot into an actual reasoning engine.

[limber fractal]

-# Sorry, was laughing at the incident of how the student was busted. I didn't read further. Just caught that bit which cracked me up.

[spiral zephyr]

Yet they don't tend to do that very well, yet, thus citing incorrect case law etc.
These are fundamentals.
One of my family members is building something for the legal profession, it's quite tedious.
(I don't want to give more details as that's his IP)
We are still in the process of teaching the models, having them teach us is still problematic.
I fully get and empathize with the lack of qualified teachers, one of my best surfing pals has spent 30 years in special ed.
Consider how rare a gift that skillset is in humans, so where does the training data come from?
Reddit?
Yikes

[hasty roost]

Seriously, give Gemini Pro 3 a shot when you have a minute. The cool part is you can expand the 'Thinking' tab while it generates and watch it logic through the steps in real time. It's wild watching it self correct.

​Try giving it this puzzle:
​There are 3 people on an island: A Knight (Always Truth), a Knave (Always Lies), and a Spy (Random). determine who is who:

1. Chris says: 'I am the Spy.'
2. Brook says: 'Alex is a Knight.'
3. Alex says: 'Chris is a Knave.'

​Just watch the process as it deduces why Chris can't be the Knight. It’s pretty impressive to see the internal monologue.

[spiral zephyr]

Oh it gets better by the day, if not the hour.
But we still have a long way to go

[worthy dawn]

I'm one of those guys that try not to use these LLMs too much because I don't want to become too reliant on it.
The way students use AI to just cheat on schoolwork is going to cause people to stop thinking and probably become dumber

HOLY SHIT LEVEL UP

💀

[hasty roost]

Oh 100%, Reddit as a primary source is definitely 'yikes' But honestly, AI in education feels unavoidable at the pace it's moving. We're just in that messy transition phase right now. Anyway, give that puzzle a shot if you get bored, it’s a cool demo.

Those sorts of puzzles are not a big ask tbh, it's just switching variables on examples that probably exist in precisely that format in the training data.
That's a long way from a real world application.
Don't get me wrong, these tools are here to stay.
But it seems your perspective is one of being at the short end of poor training and screening with teachers.
We will need to do that with the models too.
And I'd humbly suggest the empathy and capacity for reason that humans may posses, will not be easy to replace much less reproduce.
That is what makes good teachers.

I came across this yesterday as it happens 🤣

I think we crossed wires a bit I didn't mean the answer to the puzzle is impressive. I meant the literal 'Thinking' log you can view now. It doesn't just spit out the answer, you can actually watch it reason, backtrack, and correct its own logic in real time before it replies. That's the part that feels new, it's not just retrieving data, it's simulating a thought process.

But I definitely agree on the empathy part, human teachers are irreplaceable there.

[spiral zephyr]

I understand, it's the simulation part, that process is in the data too.

I can easily find dozens of examples for logical proofs attached to the very exercises and lessons you'd find.

[hasty roost]

Fair enough. I just find it’s one of those things where analyzing the mechanics feels different than actually using the tool hands on. It hits different when you're the one in the driver's seat. Anyway, interesting times ahead regardless. ✌️

LOL bros talking to part owner and refers to them as they as a group 😂

Also referrals almost always end up in shit, with someones friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend getting hacked and adding random other users that fuck over the server

Or being extended group friends, not liking everyone due to natural discourse

it also doesn't work very well with a big server like this. I've moderated servers similarly sized to this one and a manual referral system would be exhausting to deal with.

<:nasa:1336541173631811606> Astronomy Pic of the Day 2025 November 21 - 3I/ATLAS: A View from Planet Earth

Explanation: Now outbound after its perihelion or closest approach to the Sun on October 29, Comet 3I/ATLAS is only the third known interstellar object to pass through our fair Solar System. Its greenish coma and faint tails are seen against a background of stars in the constellation Virgo in this view from planet Earth, recorded with a small telescope on November 14. But this interstellar interloper is the subject of an on-going, unprecedented Solar System-wide observing campaign involving spacecraft and space telescopes from Earth orbit to the surface of Mars and beyond. And while the comet from another star-system has recently grown brighter, you'll still need a telescope if you want to see 3I/ATLAS from planet Earth. It's now above the horizon in November morning skies and will make its closest approach to Earth, a comfortable 270 million kilometres distant, around December 19.

<:nasa:1336541173631811606> Astronomy Pic of the Day 2025 November 22 - Dione and Rhea Ring Transit

Explanation: Seen to the left of Saturn's banded planetary disk, small icy moons Dione and Rhea are caught passing in front of the gas giant's extensive ring system in this sharp telescopic snapshot. The remarkable image was recorded on November 20, when Saturn's rings were nearly edge-on when viewed from planet Earth. In fact, every 13 to 16 years the view from planet Earth aligns with Saturn's ring plane to produce a series of ring plane crossings. During a ring plane crossing, the interplanetary edge-on perspective makes the thin but otherwise bright rings seem to disappear. By November 23rd Saturn's rings will have reached a minimum angle for now, at their narrowest for viewing from planet Earth, but then start to widen again. Of course, Dione and Rhea orbit Saturn near the ring plane once every 2.7 and 4.5 days respectively, while the next series of Saturn ring plane crossings as seen from Earth will begin again in 2038.

idk how to explain it though.

arc has to be a lot more convenient

Yes, that was my initial thought

after I realised it was shutdown.

zen is good at minimalism

i do like how they pulled it off

it feels like a more calm version of Arc

albeit a little clunky in comparison

[clear wave]

clunky or choppy?

[slow cedar]

like the hover/click effects and animations aren't quite as smooth

but it's still good

the dev tools are top notch tho

as a new React dev this is great

[clear wave]

also

[slow cedar]

idk if chromium has this but i found an extension to view webpage sources as React components

[clear wave]

when i first came to zen

it took like alot of time to open a link

it was very choppy at first

[slow cedar]

oh

weird

ig they fixed it by the time i got it

[clear wave]

it would take 5 seconds before loading a page

[slow cedar]

damn

and arc would be instant

but then it catched on

not a big issue though

I'm not a fan of dia

looks horrible

basically the same as Zen since it's missing so many features

windows sucks

oh also

if you use a mac

i definitely recommend using Raycast

i'm not old enough to have used Mountain Lion or whatever but Yosemite was long enough ago

[clear wave]

[slow cedar]

[clear wave]

okay now back to what i was saying

one thing that makes me mad

is when u go to activity monitor

and most usage of ram is by: Window Server

[slow cedar]

fr 😭

[clear wave]

5 - 7 gb

i am so pissed

[slow cedar]

ts should not take 5GB 🥀

[clear wave]

guess what

[slow cedar]

and then the kernel takes another two

[clear wave]

if it couldnt get worse, i checkd on reddit

someone quit the window server

and their whole mac got f'ed

[slow cedar]

one time when my battery gave out the kernel and SPOTLIGHT SEARCH took up like all of it

well duh

[clear wave]

[slow cedar]

it literally manages everything on the screen

[clear wave]

[slow cedar]

duck observatory

[slow cedar]

i haven't found a way to do that on Sonoma 😔

at least that isn't a photo gallery

i wanted to upload a mp3 or gif

[knotty vapor]

maybe a weird question for the nms discord lmao but i just started dating this girl and im taking her to a christmas market today and seeing my friends with her tonight, but theres like around 4 hours between the two

anyone got any tips on what to kill time with?

[quaint adder]

movie? lunch? iceskating if possible?

[knotty vapor]

i havent ice skated in so long lmao

i wouldve suggested lunch but like

we went out yesterday too

and spent a bit of money

were only 18 so we dont have that much of it

but yeah true if we do go to the market well have to eat smth

ill ask her what she thinks

the rink is only open during the time im seeing my friends too

[hasty roost]

Honestly, nobody ever feels like they have enough money, that’s just life. The best advice I can give a young adult? Just aim to save up a $5k emergency fund eventually. It makes a huge difference.

[quaint adder]

indeed, 5k padded backfall

kinda sad its not 3 day slowmo

or atleast 12hr

[stuck grove]

The PC I'm saving for has one of the best CPUs apparently

A nearly $500 CPU, An AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7GHz,Plus a RTX 4070 Super 12GB Vram, 32gb DDR5, 4 TB SSD,

[hasty roost]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-dance-wow-mars-planet-gif-10362075724662813594

[stuck grove]

Should have the money by the end of April

[slow cedar]

damn just found out how big the JWST is

[slow cedar]

dayum those are good specs

9800X3D is like

the best gaming CPU

[quaint adder]

wait what theres 70s?

i thought there were only 60s & 80s

im confused, why must tech companies do shit naming

[hasty roost]

Impressive, huh?

[hasty roost]

Didn’t they win an award?

[slow cedar]

this is relatively simple

you should see monitor names

Ryzen: manufacturer
7: series
9800: model (bigger number = better)
X3D: has a special v-cache

[quaint adder]

yes but is there a 9801, a 9811?

an x2d, an x4d?

an a1b..

idk

some of its naming with shorthand some of its shit number inline

[slow cedar]

there's only X and X3D

3D means there's a 3D vertical cache

X is just cool ig

[hasty roost]

https://tenor.com/view/bye-gif-19159631

[slow cedar]

9950?

[hasty roost]

Yeah, I stand corrected. Hehe.

[quaint adder]

https://tenor.com/view/run-running-running-away-gif-7866528504362796871

[slow cedar]

looks like it's super close

[quaint adder]

am off to watch content

[slow cedar]

the 9950 has more threads, but only one thread has access to the v-cache

whereas the 9800 only has one thread

9800 barely pulls ahead in most games, and 9950 is best for streamers bc of the multi-thread capabilities

[hasty roost]

Wow, I didn’t know that!

[slow cedar]

looks like the 9800 does better in BF6

despite having half the cores

also draws less power

and much cheaper lol

[hasty roost]

That's pretty interesting! You'd think that if something costs more, it would be better, but that's not true.

https://tenor.com/view/batman-hmmm-thinking-one-second-let-me-think-gif-15838250914742163450

[slow cedar]

yeah looks like you get MUCH more value for money with the 9800

it's a really close split

most of the time it's like a 5fps difference between the two

[hasty roost]

Yeah, it makes choosing super easy.

[slow cedar]

9950 does have a significantly lower load % than the 9800 tho

so probably better if you want to have several programs open like streaming

since it has twice the cores/threads

[hasty roost]

Totally! Streaming really takes up a lot, so you definitely need double the threads and cores.

Alright, I'm heading back to YouTube to get my scare on! Have fun, everyone! Good chat! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EIxkdP0REAg

[slow cedar]

finally got the average

[knotty vapor]

duh its not like im broke lmao, just dont wanna spend too much money on going out repeatedly when i could cook for her instead or smth

[hasty roost]

Guess who’s back? Back again! So, one’s for gaming and the other’s for gaming and productivity. We’ve covered that, right? Just popping in like a surprise party nobody asked for!

Cooking is actually a flex, way more personal than a restaurant anyway. For the time gap? honestly, just walking and talking is underrated. It keeps things public (which is always smart/safe early on) and lets you really see if you vibe without distractions. Don't stress about constantly spending to be entertaining, burnout is real. Just enjoy the company.

Funny story, when I was younger I would've killed for a Alienware, now that I'm a adult I know how crappy they are

All they got going for them is cool looking cases
But tbf you don't need a cool looking case
What's wrong with a typical computer case with tempered glass like all the normal people have

Like this case that got popular a few years back, why?, are you building a PC or fucking going to war with garden gnomes

And good fucking luck getting it through customs

[hasty roost]

Just take it one part at a time.

Has anyone played the outer worlds 2? Oh man it's good. So many guns stats buffs & debuffs.

I played, but tbh

I don't feel it

but I also didn't feel the first game

man OneDrive is such garbage on Android

I spent hours trying to sync all my images and videos to my Samsung Galaxy Cloud

I ended up making a manual backup on my PC

[lime sand]

Hell, even tempered glass is bad for PC cooling

[lime sand]

I want to get it one of these days

I loved the first game

[cursive agate]

There's so much in two decent dialogue & choice in how to handle most situations peaceful ect & Alot of your skills can be used in speech also. Medical,lockpick, observation & so on.

Without spoiling anything I thought there was only one world. You also get a healthy sandbox of different weapons that suit different play styles or just pew pew your enemies away

[lime sand]

How many unique stuff tho

Because I played to collect all the unique weapons as a priority, armor is secondary

[dark terrace]

https://tenor.com/view/dead-chat-gif-20784341

Chat, i’m gonna fight the Valiant Gargoyle later today.

-# maybe this way i can revive the chat

[zenith dome]

whats the valiant gargoyle

[dark terrace]

A boss in Elden Ring in the Siofra Aqueduct region.

[zenith dome]

it has 0 muscle mass, short legs, looks like its on the brink of starvation, has two huge thick wings that prob dont let it fly, instead just makes it heavier. so it must be an easy fight right?

also is it just me or the left foot has 6 toes?

[dark terrace]

Don’t underestimate FromSoftware, They make boss fights challenging (most of the time) in a good way.

[zenith dome]

ok

[dark terrace]

“The most of the time” was two bosses i met. Mimic Tear and Crystalian.

Mimic Tear is basically black slime tar that copied me completely with my weapon, so i started him with my weakest weapon and when it copied me, I replaced it with my main weapon that is my most powerful one.

I didn’t parried at all, because he was too weak because copied my weakest weapon’s damage.

So i just hit him until he was felled.

The Crystalian is basically a shiny tall guy who throws crystal discuses and spinning around, it didn’t even engaged with me, he was at the other side of the room. (he’s a close range boss)

So i just threw the best things to him FireBalls!

Falling With Style

[dark terrace]

Hello everyone. I’m back from IKEA of the House Furnitures, i visited the shelves.

And saw some mmmmmm monkeys and get a new chair.

[pale meadow]

Did you spend more then you intended?

[dark terrace]

No, that was my sister.

[pale meadow]

Win

[dark terrace]

I just bought the chair and a 3 dollar keychain smartphone holder thing.

[pale meadow]

[dark terrace]

I got a inbus key(hex key) with the chair’s leg, so After all…. why not? Why shouldn’t I keep it?

[pale meadow]

Free tool

[slow cedar]

why does this look so goofy lol

found it while looking for photos of the JWST mirrors

[hasty roost]

Congratulations! Your baby boy is truly beautiful.

[dark terrace]

The leg is very customer friendly, if i need to replace the air spring i just pull the chair out from the legs, and pull out the whole air spring compartment from the legs and put in another one and chair can go back to it on the new spring, without any work.

https://tenor.com/view/ok-bye-elmo-sesame-street-im-out-gif-15658802

[hasty roost]

Do you know where to keep that in your house?

[dark terrace]

I have a small box for such tools as the hex key.
