you can use it as a hedge

astral haven
gold is one of the best hedges
vagrant pagoda
I meant crypto
astral haven
Gold is used in a lot of places
yea but gold for electronics is relatively low quantities
crypto is a worse hedge than gold but it tends to do better in a worse economy
vagrant pagoda
It's only value is using when fiat currency isn't useful
Inflation is one of those
fickle ore
Yeah thats a given,
virtual coins have the benefit of no weight
easier to escape country
astral haven
a billion dollars with 99% chance of going bust still has more effective value than a million dollars with 1% chance of going bust as well
fickle ore
tbh im really wondering if we've maxed gold's potential in industry/electronics
some new alloy or something cool
astral haven
gold does nooooot alloy well lmao
it is useful but it also isnt as valuable in electronics as it is as a hedge against inflation
fickle ore
why would you use gold as a hedge against inflation
astral haven
?
astral haven
probably not using the correct terms
astral haven
when you could use stocks, bonds, houses, plots, forest plants etc
diversification
fickle ore
dnno dont look like it done so well lately

its definetly more of a long term play than a short term one

I would take the american 401k any day over the scam that is our retirement ponzi scheme
astral haven
ive got better than a 401k 😛
astral haven
unfortunately tho a 403b cant be invested as hard for the tax benefits so i also have a roth ira
getting close to the limit on it tho
fickle ore
Nice, keep doing that and u cna retire in 15 years or so
astral haven
doubt
fickle ore
We EU's dont have that or tax advantaged accounts, but we do have accumulating mutual funds or accumulating ETF's, which is kinda OP
astral haven
roth iras are limited to 6k/year
astral haven
zero tax whatsoever on the output tho
fickle ore
Yeah good compounding on those accts
astral haven
yep
6k of google stock in 2004 turning into 225k of google stock would have been taxed for me approximately $800
and thats income tax on the original $6000 that you pay already
fickle ore
You pay the tax when you withdraw tho right?
fickle ore
O.o
astral haven
no gains tax
fickle ore
6k of google stock in 2004 turning into 225k of google stock would have been tax...
nice gains tho lol
Somewhere you could retire on that alone

why mention the crash rate

just look at the logs you must be automatically sending to the servers, man
crash rate would go down significantly

crash rate only goes down if you solve bugs without introducing new ones lel

So, there are some Switch 2 rumours and they ain't good
let me guess you hoped its another steamdeck kinda device
power wise
cursive summit
So apparently there's more corroborating.. sources... that Switch 2 might have 2 SKUs, digital and physical, what is disconcerting well is that
Switch 2 might have no backwards compatibility with Switch 1 games
misty saffron
digital? like emulation?
fair gull
no cart slot
cursive summit
let me guess you hoped its another steamdeck kinda device
Actually I was hoping for it to be even more powerful to that
fair gull
not gonna happen
cursive summit
It's based on Ampere which is pretty damn good
misty saffron
until you realize they’re not releasing a new model for 5-6 more years
fair gull
i think itll be just like the switch a highly optimized microkernel to use the hardware they choose (which will prob be underpowered comparitively) as well as possible
was towards the more powerful than the deck etc
and as i use 0 gamecarts myself i dont care for digital edition or not
cursive summit
Anyhow I'm pretty sure that Switch 2 is launching next year
Towards later end of it
The fact a new Pokemon game hasn't been announced yet, or Metroid Prime 4 is quiet, is a good reason to think so

so an ITX SP6 socket board is not possible

Define not possible lel

while being able to fit the typical slew of mobo stuff

that ain't ITX

I'm obviously full of shit

its only barely better than my phone lel

good luck finding an off the shelf mobo with less than four USB A ports nowadays
astral haven
outside of server ofc
vagrant pagoda
DTX doesn't fit ITX only cases
Dtx fits in like 90% of itx cases
astral haven
that to be fair is about 90% of the socket's usage for epyc/wepyc/threadripper
vagrant pagoda
Is that dual 10g and management?
crisp granite
Dtx fits in like 90% of itx cases
most ITX cases I've stumbled upon don't

dtx also expands downwards, this expands towards the front of the case

Ghost and Raw S1s
Streacom DA2, DanCase cases, etc
astral haven
again not dtx
vagrant pagoda
Also of those fit dtx
astral haven
Is that dual 10g and management?
correct
2 usb 10 gig and 2 eth 10 gig are the useable ports, rest is mgmt
vagrant pagoda
DTX is the exact same size as ITX except it has one more PCI slot of length
You are thinking about extended DTX
Which is just like extended ITX
Both are ATX width
crisp granite
DTX is the exact same size as ITX except it has one more PCI slot of length
most ITX cases don't accommodate that extra PCI-E slot
anything sandwich layout doesn't
astral haven
again tho look at the orientation
vagrant pagoda
all of the cases you mentioned fit dtx
crisp granite
the Raw and Ghost S1 do not fit DTX
crisp granite
they don't
both are sandwich style cases with a certain amount of vertical room set aside for the mobo, and it's meant for an ITX board
riser connects to the other side
maybe the Ghost would work if you paired it with a tophat on the bottom
but the Raw...nope
not at all
vagrant pagoda
you are thinking the mk3
astral haven
ghost s1 has the board backwards, it would fit the "ITX" rome, but not dtx
the fan below the motherboard is relative to the motherboard, on top
astral haven
possible, and tbf expecting itx to work stock is a bit of 🤣
vagrant pagoda
ive seen one flipped with a 240 thin rad passive cooled
i know dan case dose though ive worked on one, the riser goes over the top
its only 30mm
astral haven
ive seen one flipped with a 240 thin rad passive cooled
not that that would be enough to coola 7763 which for some reason is validated on the asrock "deep ITX" board

lol
astral haven
they have 4 280w skus validated
vagrant pagoda
also the steacom da2 literally advertises dtx
i mean no cooler is going to do 280w that small
maybe water if you werent using a gpu and stuck a rad there
astral haven
or external rad

hopefully it includes a fire extinguisher

dram pins will take vcore

you got some sauce on that?

old tr had zero interop???

i dont believe for a second that they would put power on pins that were data in a different board
not where you expect to support switching cpus
again if it was no interop sure definelty do the same thing again
vagrant pagoda
again
astral haven
but this sounds like a really bad idea
astral haven
you need to supply power to those pins separately
vagrant pagoda
have 2 power planes

yeah a signal pin is high impedance

the insanely low reactance is how you can stuff the high frequencies through
astral haven
ok?
it adds up fam
2 wires per bit, 512 unused bits in 4 ch,+ pcie
again you are confusing impedance with resistance
impedance includes resistance and reactance
vagrant pagoda
and the third state is high impedance, which is high resistance.
astral haven
normal tr uses the extra pins for power
cite your source for this and ill get off your back

can you even fit money in there?
vagrant pagoda
yeah sp6 is big
astral haven
and the third state is high impedance, which is high resistance.
keep in mind these things are not causal
vagrant pagoda
?
astral haven
resistance and impedance are independent variables
add more resistors in series and you get more resistance
add more capacitance in series and you get more impedance
it may be high resistance (i dont consider 40 ohms to be high resistance)
but just because its high impedance doesnt mean its high resistance
astral haven
but il put money on it
how much money tho
id like to make a quick buck

Although the signal isn't pure analogue, doesn't a changing DC signal from RAM also induce reactance even if it's not as much as an analogue signal the square waves would add to the total ohms expected?

it is actually just an analog ac signal
a square wave is built up of a bunch of sine waves
and any imperfections in your power supply get passed along regardless of the speed

If you're not learning how to use LLMs and other kinds of AI as it becomes commonplace, your productivity will be eclipsed by those who do
halcyon moss
I agree
cursive summit
I do like how AI can more often than not just do all your work for you
But only if you command it right
This seems like a good thing for dem zoomers, to learn some communications skills
halcyon moss
Aren't you a zoomer?
cursive summit
Not at all

I've been playing with them. I've also been testing them on some stuff I solidly know the answers to. Which can produce some really funny stuff.

I've already seen resumes that list proficiency with ChatGPT as a skill and I personally give a lot of weight to someone says that

Learning how to reframe your questions and re-ask them to get the needed answers is a real skill.

But what it says about the candidate speaks volumes more than whatever degree or other piece of paper they got years ago or whatever
ornate lily
Or just tell the damn thing it is wrong.
cursive summit
AI is an absolute godsend to learn programming though
Cause it always comments what it does
A lot of official documentation tends to be hard to understand
And the "guides" are too long
ornate lily
And the AI is confident.... so it is convincing.
marsh glade
If you're not putting that on your resume, you're making a mistake
I would not be surprised to see this perspective drive differences in pay offerings in excess of 20% for otherwise equal candidates
cursive summit
And the AI is confident.... so it is convincing.
Well if it does what you want, and it logically makes sense, why not
ornate lily
Alas, I've had it be very wrong. You still need to be checking it. It is a great ~Jr. Developer.
cursive summit
I used AI heavily for a lot of programming tasks
It's not as useful for "automation" as it is a guide
A lot of times it invents some sort of new path I couldn't begin to ever think of
cursive summit
It's not right, doesn't work, but there's a kernel of truth in the method
So you manually fix it and it's great
It's a guide, not automation
Glorified search engine

More than that. It can give you the platitudes that a more senior person could give you. "Tell me when you'd use Python vs. C."

Image generation is the one that is quite concerning
ornate lily
The voice stuff, is already bad.
cursive summit
Cause you would have to pay far less for a person that comes up with queries, a text engineer, than a professional artist
ornate lily
I see mods on nexus ripping voices... and I just wince.
cursive summit
And query engineer honestly would accomplish far more, far easier, in shorter period of time
The age of artists is coming to a weird dark age
ornate lily
Or are they going to embrace it as their new pen?
cursive summit
The voice stuff, is already bad.
I'd argue that's great
ornate lily
I'd argue that's great
Not if you are the actor.
cursive summit
What if you license your own voice?
ornate lily
Or voices, that's legit. But alot of that stuff ain't licensed I'm sure.
cursive summit
You can still charge the same amount of money, just that you don't have to go anywhere to record the lines and the companies just get what they need
Voice stuff, imo, is pretty damn good
The deepfakes are concerning, but funny af
ornate lily
That's the other edge of that tech.
I also wonder if the work will end up at the same quality in the end for voice work.
cursive summit
Ehh, no, not yet
ornate lily
Maybe higher? Maybe lower.... hard to know how it gets used.
cursive summit
Currently it's a lot worse
With a good amount of training LLMs can exhibit emotion and voice ranges, but it's not as natural as a good VA
ornate lily
Yeah, but if you can get the exact emotion amounts etc, you want dialed in... and shift them. That's more interesting.
cursive summit
But it's still good enough to be passable for most people's expectations
So, it's worse but good enough
ornate lily
It'll improve.
cursive summit
The recent news with the deceased Cyberpunk VA being AI'd and his voice replicated post-mortem were.. interestingly received
The family of VA were very alright with it, and I assume were properly compensated for it
ornate lily
I heard that, and I approved, because they went to his family, and got permission.
ornate lily
Without that, I'd come down hard on the other side.
cursive summit
I'd honestly argue, if something is a non-profit, AI voice rips are completely fine to do of anyone you like
Swifties, Drakes, etc
cursive summit
Yeah that's a good rebuttal 
ornate lily
I believe people have a right to own their "persona" in a sense. You shouldn't be able to rez Jerry Springer, without his family saying yes... Even then, would it be the same?
reef patrol
Even with his family giving permission
ornate lily
That's why I chose a performer who wasn't just given lines.
cursive summit
What's a Jerry Springer
ornate lily
Jerry Springer, ran very tawdry "talk shows"... Where he played a ringmaster above the action.
He managed to keep a fairly moral stance for what he was doing... which is what made it impressive.
It was a very unique set of skills, and I'd seen him repeat it on another show later... so it was the human... he just has that skill.
(or had, alas.)
I will not say it is "high brow" entertainment. But.... his name has strong cultural meanings still in the USA.

Nah
This is Android development
This is new to me
The only familiar part is Java
Though Google recommends using Kotlin instead
For this one
Since there is only 2 of 4 properties
Should I make a method override with these two arguments
Or is it ok to just pass null for the values I don't need, like how I did in the screenshot??

golden ibex
you can join String arrays together
wheat plume
different to how I just did it?
halcyon moss
Why is your data in 4 different arrays?
Why not 1 array with objects (or whatever it would be in Java) that have those 4 properties
halcyon moss
She just wrote it hah
golden ibex
Anyways, you can either use built-in Streams to do Arrays.stream(arrayIn).collect(Collectors.joining(check usage))
or you can write your own method to do that
or use external libraries but seems stupid just to combine string arrays

You know what you can also do? Give it to AI

written from head idk if its ok

@wheat plume
cursive summit
Except maybe use stringbuffer instead
golden ibex
thread safety is the only difference
not really needed here
builder is "faster"
but yeah buffer is the other option
same methods and all
internally a bit different, that's all
cursive summit
Well since Lana tends to lanapost quite a bit, e.g post with no prior context
Stringbuffer is mutable so, more suited to.. whatever the hell they are doing
I imagine, at least

Have you tried asking.. AI?
"How do I make my button appear when 1 of the 3 buttons are required" "code"
golden ibex
this...
boolean groupChecked = rdbCars.isChecked() || rdbBikes.isChecked() || rdbOthers.isChecked();
btnStart.setVisibility(groupChecked ? View.VISIBLE : View.HIDDEN); // not sure if HIDDEN is a thing, but you get the idea
your original would ONLY run if any of the 3 is actually checked
this always runs and just sets the value according to the logic OR value of your 3 checkboxes

I can tell you JetBrains other editors tend to get this right, but macros and funky code can change the results.

@young pecan
Gemini is coming sooon
That is insane
This will be so incredibly good for productivity
Wait no this is beyond good
It can make apps from scratch by itself just with commands
We went from AI being a cute gimmick with lots of potential a few years back, to replacing artists awith programmers being worried just a year or two back and now Gemini is going to replace programmers
What a timeline
ornate lily
Replacing programmers is a tall task in larger code bases, but for small bang out projects, I suspect AI is already close.
cursive summit
Yes, it's not going to develop games or massive projects I imagine
But if someone needs something more smaller in scale, AI can easily do it
Context size is the key difference, GPT-4 is quite limited in context size
Gemini supposedly can hold a million tokens, which is a LOT of text
ornate lily
Gemini, will be interesting to test depending on the licenses and whatnot they give on output.
cursive summit
It's coming this year supposedly, in a month or two
I can't wait to see what it can do
ornate lily
The stuff you can make coding AIs do is already pretty impressive, if you know what you are doing. If not for bulk coding for doing nit-picky crap.
cursive summit
But this just takes it up a notch
With GPT it was always "can you come up with a function that would do something"
This is just "can you write me a program that does something"
Which is a massive step up
ornate lily
Yeah, I'm interested in can you do a program, and if so how good and consistent is the code.
Is it something you'd want to touch after as a human.
The real jump I'm hoping for is when the LLMs can know your codebase, and then you can ask it real questions.
So I've got 500k-1m lines of C, I want to make the following type of change... how would I go about it? etc.
Never mind getting it to explain how part of a larger codebase works so you can then go read it and understand it. etc.
