I kinda accepted it now ๐Ÿ˜…

I have a cycling buddy with low 40s ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

broken sigil
#

Damn lol
That feels uncomfortable even thinking about it lol

unborn lotus
#

Yeah

#

You gotta put on weight or smoke to raise it ๐Ÿ˜†

57?? You would rule cycling uphill!

#

Get all the local PRs and everything

broken sigil

๐Ÿ˜…

worldly sapphire
#

In theory

#

I was just slow everywhere and I'm 57kg too

#

though when I was cycling I was still 51kg so that's probably why

unborn lotus
#

Where the 90+ gang at? ๐Ÿ˜ข

unborn lotus

#

Yeah, I was not healthy then, lots of stress, long commute and no exercise

unborn lotus
#

Read an article of a cyclist who put on 15kg to go faster

Then I went through a separation, started working out, watched my diet and eating habits

I remember when my brother came home from the army one time. He had just trained to be a physical training instructor. So I asked him "How do I expand my chest?" and he replied "Breathe in". Sarcastic bastard.

I did also a lot of work. Just not the one I wanted to.

... I have forgotten past month-two about these freebies.

Reminds me a bit of these hacker's games.

The other freebie is Europa Universalis 4... One of these games which look great on screenshot, but then the GUI just sucks all your energy on the first sight.

making ur chest bigger is just dumb ๐Ÿ˜›

inland oriole
#

When I was trying to learn it I was rather quickly getting stuck on "How do i approach making this?". Very basic shapes like a flower pot went alright but then came the part of slightly more complex shapes.. Lets say as an example a microphone. I can see the general shape of it but I was getting extremely frustrated with getting smaller things on it. Maybe I wanted to add a volume wheel on the side or perhaps a small standard for it to stand on etc., that's where I got completely stuck ๐Ÿ˜…

chrome gull
#

there's always the iconic donut tutorial

#

idk if it's still being updated

inland oriole
#

I think it's still being updated yeah. But that's where I began and that's again not really the issue I had with it. A donut is just a torus / donut in the end right. The video puts some cylinder sprinkles on it and, gives it some colors / lights etc. and calls it a day. My problem is going beyond those very basic shapes.

chrome gull
#

hmm okay I see where you are coming from

inland oriole
#

Maybe I want to make a knife or a keyboard or whatever. That's where I got stuck every single time.

#

I wasn't expecting to make an entire character or anything xD
But smaller objects like those were still just a mess.

chrome gull
#

the same guy makes more advanced tutorials too

#

never followed them

#

i don't really use blender so idk much

carmine frigate
#

get basically any tutorial on that where it shows the shortkeys they use

#

many ppl have their own style or tricks to do the same so if you watch a bunch of em you can find out ur own prefs

#

mayB start with non destructive hard surface

#

that means using a lot of modifiers

inland oriole
#

Thanks for the reply! I'll take a look at all of that ๐Ÿ‘

carmine frigate
#

yea knowing hotkeys and modifiers is prolly some of the best place too start... they are timesavers and can do some real cool shapes real fast

pearl elk
#

That is far too helpful for a cpp elitist ๐Ÿ˜›

#

it should answer "thread locked because similar question answered <link>"

broken sigil
#

tell it to link learncpp.com and to mention using the debugger whenever it can

#

it counts towards yout total prompt tokens

#

since it is techincally a part of your prompt the way it ends up being submitted to the llm

celest musk
#

can we get this as bot for #cpp ?

broken sigil
#

We should let Deja vs this go at each other lol

broken sigil
#

including your prompt

#

for GPT3.5

carmine frigate
#

did chatgpt make a gameengine for you?

broken sigil
#

yeah for Deja I'm doing like 3-5 API calls per response for embeddings and different things and I've done a few hundred thousand API requests, each prompt in the range of about 1k-1.2k tokens and I've only paid around 7$ so far

#

GPT4 tho is like 20x more expesnive

carmine frigate

I dont know what that is

#

ahh so its chatgpt

#

pearl elk

every search engine is google so this checks out

carmine frigate

or mayB google bruhd

broken sigil

You can probably take the 7B llama, fine tune the crap out of it to specialize it on code and code gen and it's gonna be really good
Kinda what the codex model that copilot uses does (but instead it's based on GPT3.5)

REEEEGPT

broken sigil
#

You can fine tune some stuff locally as well, you can get The Pile (it's like 1.2TB in total), it's what I'm using for my stuff, it's in 40GB chunks so you don't need all of it
And you can either use LORAs on a single 4090 if you use the SGD optimizer or rent an A100 for a day (or multiple 4090s if you have them) and you can pretty much train it on whatever data you want to do whatever you want, with fine tuning you can easily train it new functionality

#

That's kinda the fun part with open source models and custom LLMs ๐Ÿ˜…

#

Tho I can bet there are gonna be a ton of Llama2 variants soon enough to choose from

pearl elk
#

What did you think it was :S

broken sigil
#

a whole bunch of numbers with emergent behaviors eyebrows

pearl elk
#

Ive had an interest in AI since the 90s so I guess that take that for granted some times

#

Ratbag trained Powerslide AI on a neural network, pretty state of the art for the time

broken sigil
#

I wanted to learn about ML in like 2017 and ended up writing all the tensor math, backpropagation and gradient descend myself, it was a good learning experience
These days I'm just using libtorch/tensorflow instead of reinventing the wheel

#

oh I'm not touching python

pearl elk
#

Who needs Python when you got Mojo ๐Ÿ˜›

broken sigil
#

I'm using libtorch which is C++, pytorch is written in C++ as well as tensorflow so you can use both of them with C++ just fine
And the API is actually nice

carmine frigate
#

I dont think LLMs are AI

pearl elk
carmine frigate
#

when i read about the google person that said the chatbot was an actual smart thing... i thought the chatbot was dumb and the person was even dumber

pearl elk

how about WebAssembly for TensorFlow.js ๐Ÿ˜น

Im glad that google person got fired

seriously screw that person

pearl elk
#

I told my ChatGPT to be concise now it sounds like a grumpy teenager being blunt with me

#

meanwhile Copilot Chat UFUNCTION(BlueprintCosntruct) making up fake keywords again

broken sigil
#

Yeah LLMs are anything but sentient but there is some cool emergent behavior that happens with them
In context learning is something these models shouldn't be able to do at all on paper

Context obedient question answering
By obedient, I mean the model was trained to ignore what it thinks it knows, and uses the context to answer the question. The model was also tuned to limit the values to the provided context as much as possible to reduce hallucinations.

and once installed go to settings and set your region back to wherever you are to fix some issue (mostly currency related stuff)

Fallout 4.
I really love it's settlement system, a word of advice though, i would mod it from the getgo, with OCDecorator, settlement cap uncapped, placeanywhere, and settlement objects unlocked, and then mod the ability to get achivements back in,

Fallout's settlement system is already good in the base game, especially with the dlc stuff, but the aforementioned mods add infinite possiblities for making a settlement

paper crystal
#

Ah, it can be short fro property, but Is that what a scene prop is?

unreal ether
#

I can link you some videos of what those mods allow you to create if you would like.

paper crystal
unreal ether
#

The only reason i still play it is for the settlement building ngl

paper crystal
#

I'm strongly considering making a game with a heavy basebuild aspect, so it makes sense for me to bias toward playing those (more than I already do, anyway ๐Ÿ™‚ )

#

Im finally ready to pivot away from my "learner burner" project. It never really held my interest even from day one, but served most of its purpose in that I learned tons and feel pretty comfortable tackling challenges within Unreal now.

The team behind the impressive looking Fallout 3 remake Capital Wasteland, which used the Fallout 4 engine to update the earlier game, has terminated production on the project.

i liked FO4, janky af FPS, animations and building part but a good world, possibilities and stories etc.
imo the bethesda fallout version is pretty much on point with its hillarious stuff, original fo1/2 were both kinda wacky with their lore aswell.

unreal ether
#

Honestly I enjoyed the base game but the mods made it shine. Get some expanded interior mods, a bunch of settlement mods, lore friendly weapon mods, a foliage mod, like greener commonwealth and texture overhaul and it's a completely different much better game.

Most of my endgame was just spent lorecrafting tbh. My favourite ones were the minutemen and institute alliance, or being the BoS sentinel and allied with the BoS. I'd also always have my settlements play different roles. Sanctuary was always a fortress. Starlight drive in was always a trading outpost etc.

they give you a descent world, a basic story, and off you go, experience YOUR adventure... like, you dont need to care about the FO4 son, you can, but you can just aswell go collect bottlecaps and make a pile

my FO4 traders were all equipped with the best weapons we have ๐Ÿ˜„ ...fun times meeting them in the wasteland shooting around fatboys

||I nearly always went institute tbh. I felt like as the minuteman general, and the leader of he institute, I would be able to make it more ethical and approachable, stopping the random kidnappings and such, while still being the best hope of rebuilding. The institute's tech was second to none and really the only hope of survival, even if they did horrible things||

#

Fallout 4 was the only rpg I ever played where it felt like an rpg.

#

Sure the minuteman live in sanctuary but do you want to technically starve them to death while you turn the whole cul-de-sac into an ammo factory? Sure thing

# hollow dawn ||i tried BOS and minutes, but institute i liked most tbh... did they do wrong? ...

||Yes! The brotherhood of steel would have been great if they were the non canonical fo3 sect. A much better BoS story would have been an institute takeover and using it's technology to support people, like the purifier in fo3. But no, they had to be nuke pyramid wielding mutant hating psychopaths like the enclave.

Institute was also always my favourite because you can still be positive with the minutemen, meaning you can combine life saving tech, with essentially the pr firm of the wasteland lol||

#

||Finally someone with sense!||

hollow dawn
#

like i got a mod for fallout 3, COMM, where you have quests that always give you good, and bad, karma... just maybe more of one or the other, cause no solution is 100% good imo

unreal ether
#

||I really hate that they went back to the evil brotherhood. They could have done so much better with it like the ones in fo3. They weren't accepting of outsiders and wouldn't talk to them, but they would still give them shipments of clean water and food. Think of the force of good they could have been in fo4, with the institute tech, the nuke pyramid and rebuilt liberty prime. The prydwyn and prime would have made such a useful tool for assaulting large raider outposts like the Pitt, while they could have functioned as a force of good in the commonwealth, using the institute to hand out clean vegetables and water, repopulate the wildlife with synthetics, as well as using gen 2 synths as a fighting force.||

I always thought he karma system was half baked

@sand oxide just wanted to clarify.. you got Airoboros-l2 running locally? i've been trying to get BARD to help me with that, and in the end it finally insists it is not possible :/ not that i have faith in that

#

summary "I have researched the issue and found that there are currently no working instructions on how to download and use the Airoboros-L2 LLM model locally. The model is not compatible with the transformers library, and the Hugging Face Hub website does not currently allow you to download the model." -BARD

#

you probably never meant localized.. probably just to use it (i've been pretty tired lately)

It's assuming you wanna use hugging face to actually run it but I'm assuming you want to use llama.cpp which BARD isn't aware that it exists

worldly mesa

i am like the person who knows how to determine individual notes on sheet music, but wants to play Bach., so, yes, but looking for step by step instructions ๐Ÿ™‚

it told me to try BlenderBot since my initial goal is assistance with python scripting mostly in Blender

broken sigil
worldly mesa
#

cool deal, thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

BlenderBot is Facebooks bot.. this is what Bard thought it was until i corrected it :/
"BlenderBot: BlenderBot is a large language model that was specifically trained on Blender data. It can be used to generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. BlenderBot is also able to generate Python code, making it a valuable tool for Blender script development."

#

after correction "You are correct. BlenderBot is a large language model that was developed by Facebook AI. It was not specifically trained on Blender data"

even the AI is working towards general apathy in humans ๐Ÿ˜›

Sorry you had that experience, but I am glad it was not just me! ๐Ÿ™‚ decreases chance for user error being the only cause

yeah, it is going to go from something that a small fringe group can do, to 'living' Japanese dolls overnight :/

that does make more sense.. it is not as though my single moderate GPU could really do much anyways

If anyone is doing multiplayer, here's an easy way to pass variables and have it update on everything correctly, you call "CE_ROS_AddExp" then feed it a value and it updates.

#

you probably could do executes on all or something but this has error checking, after dealing with multiplayer and it's problems for months this is what got condensed down to

#

it's a way to pass variables without replicating variables

steady fox
#

multiplayer is pain, you might want to replicate certain things, I don't always want to replicate things

#

it's pretty much guarenteed to work without mess

steady fox
#

if a client connects after it still works fine

because the server knows what clients you have, and just dumps the information, a client cannot alter any values without the server knowing

woohoo! Thanks @sand oxide ! i had no idea WizardCoder existed. I have many tests to do, including seeing if i can embed it in VS Code, but it is running locally! this model https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/WizardCoder-Guanaco-15B-V1.0-GPTQ This is just the first step. i had to get something up and running to prove to myself i could. Now, to dig deeper

#

since this is just for my BLender Python adventures right now, it is ok, but yeah.. that makes sense

#

i needed a step by step, so i am saving some of the ways Laura mentioned for later, but here is a step by step for use with TextGen WebUI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPW6mVTTtTc

In this video, I show you how to install TextGen WebUI on a Windows machine and get models installed and running. TextGen WebUI is like Automatic1111 for LLMs. Easily run any open source model locally on your computer.

Enjoy :)

how much?

more than 10 minutes faster

median wraith
#

I'm sorry but don't like Win11

pearl elk

I like that it puts a border around the windows, win10 doesnt do that and it can be tricky to see the edge of apps sometimes

median wraith

mmm

#

I'm either fan of 10 but it works so

#

7 were my fav

worldly mesa
#

is that initial cut a sacrifice, or a compression/magic?

pearl elk
# median wraith 7 were my fav

Yeah 7 was the biggest difference but Windows 10 was surprisingly stable so I thought well 11 has to be better by now. We'll see how it goes since Ive barely used it before ๐Ÿ˜›

Thanks., trying your exe method now, as i have already managed to confuse and crash this setup ๐Ÿ˜

i will need to research to figure out the ratio. i have 12GB on the 3060, and 4GB on the 1050

#

Not sure why I still need to install a .net manually for compiling UE, it just always complains even after I installed .net stuff from VS

#

Yeah it hard locks itself to it then it proceeds to use .net 6.0 anyway lol

#

I bet its some legacy check that hasnt been updated

worldly mesa
#

is the additional few gigabytes able to be the shared ram, or strictly the VRAM

zinc wagon

the additional gigs are from your ram yeah

worldly mesa
#

awesome, thanks

#

cool deal, thanks ๐Ÿ™‚ ARGH! why no GUI for that? this other route has sliders! ๐Ÿ˜›

i'm gonna go over my 'unlimited' internet plan downloading models. i can tell already

#

he's a busy guy!

pearl elk
#

You should see instagram, theres heaps more models on there ๐Ÿ˜›

worldly mesa
#

oh, turns out this bin is not compatible with llama.cpp, but will work with koboldcpp

#

oh geez., i must be more tired than i thought :/ fully missed it ^^

#

ok, this confuses me.. i thought this would be built in to the bin "Weights are not included, you can use the official llama.cpp quantize.exe to generate them from your official weight files " this is from the koboldcpp site.. i am probably just worrying about nothing

#

ok, enough for tonight. i will research more tomorrow

have fun all, and thanks again Laura! ๐Ÿ™‚

Year 30,828
Beginning 14 September 30,828, Windows will not accept dates beyond this day and on startup, it will display an error regarding "invalid system time" in NTFS. This is because the FILETIME value in Windows, which is a 64-bit value corresponding to the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since 1 January 1601, 00:00:00.0000000 UTC, will overflow its maximum possible value on that day at 02:48:05.4775808 UTC.

Year 292,277,026,596
Certain problematic years occur so far in the future (well beyond the likely lifespan of the Earth, the Sun, humanity, and even past some predictions of the lifetime of the universe) that they are mainly referenced as matters of theoretical interest, jokes, or indications that a related problem is not truly solved for any reasonable definition of "solved".

The year 292,277,026,596 problem (about 2.9ร—1011 years in the future) will occur when the 64-bit Unix time overflows after UTC 15:30:08 on Sunday, 4 December, AD 292,277,026,596.

fleet tangle
#

Hehe

#

Well that's well before the heat death of the universe, so there's obviously an issue.

empty dune
#

i think we can do better than 64 bits by then

fleet tangle
#

I guess it worked out nicely with 32bits as well.

#

And the simple single bit y2k bug.

#

We'll definitely be on to at least 128bit by then!

#

I think the problem might come not with extra years, but with extra granularity.

# fleet tangle How is the time _on another celestial body_ applicable to Terran time zones?

You'd need a base number to convert from, that's about it. Anyway time is hard to track accurately (i remember a story about how the very first few atomic clocks got affected and ended up out of sync while they were being transported. It was a big deal because these clocks were supposed to be the scale with which to measure the other clocks. No idea how true that story is)

worldly sapphire

I still get utterly confused when they speak about moving the clock forward or backwards

fleet tangle

The time doesn't actually change. You just say "it's an hour earlier now" for 6 months.

I tried vs code for c++.. but I can't even make the MS compiler run on it without manually launching vs developer console and then typing code . on right folder

#

how is this so bad

#

I know there's supposed to be a way to automate this

#

but their official guide just fails

unreal ether
#

It's not meant to be good for c++

stiff crystal
#

this is such a common use case tho

#

I'm also sure it's trivial to write some kind of script to handle this

#

but would expect better

#

only reason I even tried this was because of those local LLMs meant for coding ๐Ÿ˜…

unreal ether
#

I mean the use case is an ide

#

Vs code is lightweight for lightweight things like c# and web deb stuff

stiff crystal
#

there are no extensions for that purpose on regular VS afaik

#

yeah don't get me started on linux ๐Ÿ˜

#

just like VS code, I avoid linux because I want to do other things than bend it to work like I want

#

I swear on linux I keep googling more terminal commands than I actually ever use the system otherwise

#

I remember young 0lento, 2 decades ago thinking, he'll switch to using linux as main OS instead of Windows as it can do everything he wanted. that experiment ended badly and linux distros have since evolved a ton, but I actually never stopped using linux on VM or on standalone devices.. but it has still been constant struggle for decades

#

it has this really strong diy mentality

#

you do a ton but for almost everything you have to do things the hard way

#

and every guide is outdated

#

my favorite one was this one thing I recently struggled with and I googled for the solution... which gave like half a million results of people having the same problem and zero actually functional solutions

#

I tried to run linux on top of android.. and the solutions I found used chroot.. which made whole bunch of things pain, on top of having to use ancient linux kernel for the device which brought another wall of pain on it's own ๐Ÿ˜„

#

I finally made some super hacky setup that worked, but it really wasn't worth all the time spent on it

#

same thing with arm devices

#

you just hack things until you call it good enough and call it a day

#

well.. technically android phones are arm devices ๐Ÿ˜„

#

but yeah

stiff crystal
#

I remember that it was completely broken, making whole experience feel laggy

#

could have been user error

#

it's way better now tho

#

I recently installed ubuntu studio for one audio project

#

and man...

#

this was such painful setup, like everything on linux

#

my monitor got stuck on 1028 x 768 etc

#

which was because nvidia's proprietary drivers didn't work with the low latency kernel on this

#

so I just yolo'd and went back to open source nvidia drivers

#

but then my webbrowser didn't even open, just freezed

#

turned out the open source nvidia drivers don't do that gpu acceleration browsers rely on by default

#

and disabling that setting easily would have needed functional browser ui

#

I did eventually find someone else having same issue and solving it by installing some older secret low latency nvidia drivers

#

but considering most users who use this probably face this exact same issue.. they could have just mentioned this on the ubuntu studio guide

#

I actually tried to do it by the book

#

but yeah, this is my typical linux experience, every time.. for past 2 decades

#

even VM installs usually require you to jump through hoops to get virtualbox play ball ๐Ÿ˜„

If i was to put in pitch control with musical instruments, using the 1 to 9 keys is acceptable, with shift upping an octave and ctrl lowering one?

Non related with this topic... aside from Meetup is there any other web or something to find activities and people around ?

cursive crypt

Like Facebook?

median wraith
#

Facebook is kinda strange because the activies aren't physical activities at all, aside from the fact it seems like is abandoned by a lot of people I knew, the recommended connections in closer area seems like the opposite of people you want to know and the people at 4000km seems like the people you want to connect

I think it is just hard to find ppl there too.

Do you search for ppl based on a hobby or just in general?
