I really should clean my pc at some point

#

haven't opened it up since I build it almost 6 years ago

cursive crypt
#

IIt is like protective coat above the components.

broken sigil
#

my current setup is 3 front intake fans, 1 intake fan at the bottom, 3 exhaust at the top and 1 exhaust at the back and it's working so much better than what I had before, pretty sure it was creating pockets of hot air

proud jay
#

I just put in the case fans lol

cursive crypt
#

... however this made me think, do all fans rotate as they should? cw or ccw?

broken sigil
#

The side with the spokes connecting to the central hub is always the exhaust side

cursive crypt
#

How? they black, me blind and it is dark

broken sigil
#

This is the exhaust side

cursive crypt
#

nah, dis

broken sigil
#

I'm pretty sure it's standard for every pc fan to rotate in the same direction

#

I'm yet to find one that doesn't

minor python
#

I was an early bird, so maybe that's why

#

Got one at launch

cursive crypt
#

I'm pc fan and rotate in all angles

median wraith
#

yeah now the shaders compilation takes the same my old cpu used to

minor python
#

And then at work, I've built like 6 PCs with a 7950X and none of them have had that performance variance

They all performed very consistently
HOWEVER, some of them are verrry finicky with RAM stability

broken sigil
# minor python I was an early bird, so maybe that's why

Oh yeah there might have been issues

My first one lasted 20 minutes before frying itself, report back from amd said it's a super rare instance of the cache somehow getting fried, apparently none of the thermal protection was working either

Got another one the next day and had no issues

broken sigil

# cursive crypt

Unless you reverse the polarity they are gonna rotate in the same direction, at least been the case with every fan I ever had (fan header on the mb might not even let you reverse it)

cursive crypt
#

I will check one day.

minor python
#

tbh I just hope for one thing
for CUDA to no longer be needed for EVERYTHING so I can finally be free to choose a Radeon card

#

Always been team red, but being an artist has forced me to be team green

#

Well I caaan still get their CPUs at least

proud jay
broken sigil
#

They have great hardware by abysmal software stack compared to Nvidia

empty dune
broken sigil
#

Tho that could still be a driver issues, probably

#

Wait what's the bug, I just found stuff about the driver/card timing out

#

Oh yeah, that's totally different than what I was thinking

Though you meant the driver/gpu timing out

#

Weird, I'm kinda curious what's the cause

#

At the hardware level

#

It kinda sounds like something overlapping with something, and sleep resetting it

#

No idea

#

To me it sounds like something is getting out of sync, but my hardware knowledge at that level is minimal to make a good guess lol

#

Ok that actually makes perfect sense, somewhat along the lines of what I was thinking

#

I really wonder if the chiplet design is screwing them over

Since each chiplet is basically a separate piece of hardware potentially manufactured separately

#

Yeah

#

Interesting

#

Anyways I'm off to bed sleep

median wraith
#

You should be sleeping since 8h ago

cursive crypt
#

youngsters, going to sleep at 12 am

median wraith
#

then you start to work and go to 5am

cursive crypt
#

Actually, it is a nap time for the oldies.

broken sigil
#

It's 11 am berk

cursive crypt
#

Oldies wake up at 5-6 am!

#

We are in the middle of the day.

#

yea 😏

median wraith

I'm not person if don't rest 8h

There was this joke I heard recently, roughly translated to:
When you are young, you say "I have to go out to this party!"
When you are old, you say "I have to go out of this party!"

I never went to parties, how that translates?

Actually nerds told me that I'm not

I'm so technical artist, that in personal life I'm technical artist

A person told me that's rare to be a programmer and don't use an iPhone

I never knew a programmer with an iPhone now if you ask me

#

But is rare to see a photographer with an android

that's not bread

this is bread

According to Discord, it's stuffed flatbread.

You don't play games and so, don't get an opinion.

I was about to say a prayer of thanks to my student for being lazy and not showing up for the session. I was also about to say another prayer for their absent-mindedness, assuming they forgot the session. THEN, I remembered that the client lives in New York and the time difference could account for the absence. It's always sad when there's a nice, logical, rational reason for someone skipping class, even though it works out to my advantage in the end.

cheezus ue messed with my head and I started to use the landscape's 16638 instead of 16384

I pretend to teach English.

summer cedar

#

I wish I had bread. I'm munching on sweets the whole morning.

summer cedar
#

Also, what's the difference in using 16638?

cursive crypt
#

churros, bars, fudges

cursive crypt
summer cedar
#

I see.
He says with a puzzled look on his face

cursive crypt
#

We count in powers of two. I do some computing and the real number is 2^14 = 16384, and not 16638. I was off with few hundreds

lmao

cursive crypt
median wraith
#

You tried Spanish ones or what it was?

#

There are porras and churros, one if bigger than the other

cursive crypt
#

Was some weekly foreign market deal in the store. Sol Mar iirc was the brand.

median wraith
#

But yeah are heavy

median wraith
cursive crypt
#

Maybe? Looks spanish. Red + sun. Churros could have been heavier too, tho. Maybe because they are somewhat fried?

median wraith
#

Wait those are from fridge?

cursive crypt
#

ye

median wraith
#

Freezer*

#

Usually that's crap

cursive crypt
#

I suppose, however there is no easy way to bring them in.

median wraith
#

Technically the good ones are instant made in street

#

They put that in a pool of oil

#

Then put sugar on top of it

cursive crypt
#

ah, so no chocolate inside?

median wraith
median wraith
#

They are actually made of the same solid thing

cursive crypt
#

Huh, the one I ate were with chocolate inside, no sugar outside.

median wraith
#

and you use it with your own chocolate

cursive crypt
#

haha

median wraith
#

they come kinda like that and you put them in chocolate your own

cursive crypt
#

Exactly that.

#

They have the same thing, but with mini churros and chocolate filling.

median wraith
#

but they don't have chocolate inside

proud jay
cursive crypt
#

Same brand has.

#

It saves you to dip them.

proud jay
#

oh we talking churos?

proud jay
#

I love those

#

very hard to find churros around here though

#

at least decent ones

cursive crypt
median wraith

Tho mine were a shorter variety.

My mother had a friend in france that had a restaurant kind of thing that made them

lol, I mean, I already considered they are not so close to the original and are a bit heavy.

I dunno, I want to puke.

median wraith
#

never tried by the way, but this last choco ones @cursive crypt looks tasty

#

after you eat this the curro will come out of you

#

🤣

#

Hmm... I barely was able last year to find someone selling a cinammon rolls in my country, churros might be even longer to come.

I have to find some decent food to recommend you from here

I'm about get "It Takes Two"

A Way out was nice

#

But you need someone to play those

cursive crypt
#

Tried with gf, it was pretty stressful for her.
A dude here said they played okay tho.
Looks fine game.

median wraith
#

I played with my ex "A Way Out"

#

she had fun

#

Maybe I have to call she to play the one about the divorce

Looks action. We play now Detroit become human. A bit more cinematic.

median wraith
#

We used to play too some history based cinematic ones

cursive crypt
#

?

median wraith
#

I don't remember the name but there is a 3 series of horror games that are history based and choose based

#

also Unravel is a thing

#

this ones

#

to play local with someone*

#

The trending games on the epic launcher are kinda like Itch

cursive crypt
#

uggh, no, no

#

She loves thrillers & horrors, but me - no.

#

So, no.

summer cedar
#

@cursive crypt You could try A Way Out. It's a co-op game and it's mostly prison puzzles.

cursive crypt
summer cedar
#

Then it's time for A Way Out 2.

🤔 You could also play Deep Rock Galactic with her.

She could mine, while you murder.

No stress for her, brutal fun for you. 😄

Oh, I misunderstood. I thought she disliked stressful, scary stuff.

#

Fine, you mine, she kills.

#

If you like strategy games, you can play Dune: Spice Wars, team up with her against other players in multiplayer.

Kanly mode is pretty fast and gets you to the action without the initial, base-building monotony.

Instead, I used fire beams, ice beams, and snowballs.

#

Now, if you had a brain chip implanted, you might have been faster than me.

empty dune
#

Id rather not be drafted in the elon wars, thank you very much

summer cedar
#

My concerns with that chip are two-fold:

  1. Chance of rejection by the body
  2. Eventual deterioration and chance of infection, and replacement/repair protocol
#

To know both, we'll have to wait five to ten years, unless something fun happens to hasten them.

empty dune
#

I was wondering more about the radiation absorption from the Bluetooth controller that chip supposedly has

summer cedar
#

That's okay. We suck and suck lots of radiation otherwise, too.

#

While that's a fair fear, I am 100% certain medical associations / governments will take control of that away from Elon eventually; we might still be alive by that time. 😄

#

If they don't take control away from him, then Elon will become the First Emperor of Man, which is also fine, because we will all be Space Marines in his quest to nuke Mars.

celest musk
#

i would rather trust an elon lead company than some trump lead government....

While very true, a brain-chip controlled Trump might not be Trump-y anymore.

At least he might become capable of speaking English, which'd be a marked improvement.

The first one had a great combat for the time. It was a love or hate game. Personally, I enjoyed and replayed it like 3 times. And I'm hyped for the sequel.

#

People now are getting mad at the sequel because it "only" has 9 vocations/classes. When the first one had technically only 6 (+3 base vocations that were deprecated by their advanced vocations).

#

Tho I was hoping for a 2 vocation/hybrid system. That would have allowed for 36 combinations with the 9 existing vocations. IDK why there aren't many games that do this.

Havana Syndrome 2.0 type stuff.

I imagine this'll be something like that for quite some time after it goes mainstream.

brittle dove
#

And they can absolutely be used to collect certain kinds of information from the brain (literally what they are intended to do), and there's really no knowing what the paired app is processing.

For example, they are able to collect the information from the brain that the user intents to move the cursor. What other "side channel" information will they be tracking? Will they see a strong spike of something when my partner and I have a disagreement and I get frustrated? Will they eventually use other data sources to coorelate this with anger? etc

summer cedar
#

Quite possibly, actually.

#

Without strong safeguards and training to use them, Big Data hogs and Big Elon will mine people left, right, and centre.

#

Heh. Imagine what they'll do with this tech in China.

brittle dove
#

oh yeah, if i was evil and making the app, I would have the app listen to it's surroundings, for "model training and quality assurance, to ensure the user is getting the best results" and coorelate that with all sorts of stuff. Super low hanging fruit

summer cedar
#

Imagine playing soothing sounds via the brain chip directly to the user's auditory centre (or whatever, the ears) at night, making them sleep well and then using THOSE VERY SOUNDS to market other products to them during the day. 😄

brittle dove
#

idk if they will ever be able to do this kind of "direct access" but theres still plenty of "side channel" data. As I understand it's all basically "side channel" data that it collects. It's not like it's reading/writing to your "ram" if you will. It's more like it has probes connected to your ram so it can see when it's processing more and less stuff

summer cedar
#

It doesn't need direct access though, to the brain. It can be given direct access to the other devices we use.

#

In my paranoia 5.0 example, it could send data to your earphones.

brittle dove
#

oh yeah, it would just play spotify tracks and switch them until that it sees you are relaxing.

summer cedar
#

Yep. Then append those same tracks to every product in the supermarket, to make you buy it. 😄

#

By the way, let's go down the paranoia 6.0 hole.
Hack the chip to allow euthanasia 2.0. Life hack, literally. 😄

brittle dove
#

yeah, definitely a hard pass from me forever, if it ever reaches the point where it's something that basically everyone needs to be competitive, like the internet, that will indeed be my "reject further technology" point.

fervent wagon
#

What I see is that it's going to give way to many advantages in terms of productivity/capability, so much that jobs will eventually ask you as a requirement and such.

summer cedar
#

On that, there might be a positive lining. It COULD potentially allow us to match AI, or be somewhere close to it in terms of thought - processing speed.

#

Neuralink introduces Weed Unlocker 2.0 - the chip that accelerates your brain.

brittle dove
#

I can only see that happening if nothing bad happens. If this goes widespread, I expect bad things to start happening pretty much right away.

Also, maybe luckily in this case, much of society has a hair trigger for "rejection" right now.

Science, Vaccines, etc. I don't see a lot of people being interested in putting a chip in their brain, whether it's for the right reasons in the end or not.

#

they will call it the mark of the beast

#

already are.

#

tbh they are probably right in the end, in a way.

summer cedar
#

Interest may have little to do with it, honestly. What Crono said is more likely. It'll become a competitive tool and eventually, a necessity.

#

Interviewer: You have five degrees?
Candidate: Yep.
Interviewer: Are you chipped?
Candidate: No.
Interviewer: We'll go with that 5-year-old with the brain chip, then. Thanks for coming. BYEEEEEE!

fervent wagon
#

I can also see that the technology will start with a "read only" promise where you can control the computer and send signals to it but not the other way around. Eventually that promise could be lost in favor of convenience and then the line for what's too much and the promises given will be blurred as always.

summer cedar
#

Wouldn't it be cool if humans unlocked more of their brain's biological potential, simply by using the brain chip?

brittle dove
#

We also need to see what it's actually capable of. The us army had people controlling cursors with their brains in the 70s and 80s and they didn't need to have electrodes in the brain. I think it's unclear if it will advance much more than moving cursors and clicking buttons.

summer cedar
#

We'll see major utility when Patient Silicon Zero can use a keyboard telepathically.

brittle dove
#

isn't that what the disabled guy is doing?

summer cedar
#

I think he can only use the mouse, now.

#

The keyboard is still either out of his capability, or the chip doesn't give him access to it yet.

brittle dove
#

oh yeah I see, like onscreen keyboard type stuff

summer cedar
#

The moment he can type with his brain, it opens up a whole new set of coolness.

brittle dove
#

All I know is that shit isn't ever going in my brain. I guess I can only hope that enough bad stuff happens for everyone to realize it's probably a bad idea.

And of course, like any other forced medical procedure. If governments ever tried to force people to get this.

That would be a hard red line in the sand. Drawn in blood. To be crossed at their own peril. (at least for many)

#

Uh, if you can get absolutely private, 24/7 porn access straight in your mind, I imagine A LOT of people will sign up for the chips real quick.

brittle dove

whatever floats their boat, People go to the casinos to destroy their lives and it doesn't bother me too much.

Right. My point being, the government wouldn't need to persuade people to adopt the chips, most probably.

I will start thinking it's cool when I see someone controlling something as complicated as an RTS better than the pros. Like imagine having realtime selective control over all your units in something like Starcraft and do it in a way that destroys anything seen so far.

99% of people who call other people sheep, are idiots. But the underlying sentinment is absolutely correct.

Right. In consonance with your intense desire to murder the zerg. No input lag, no time lag, no nothing. Instant response, more.... uh, adrenaline? Excitement. Blah blah.

#

@fervent wagon Another cool achievement would be seamlessly playing an FPS with your mind. I imagine that'll be difficult; the chip would have to understand the mind's 'reflex' outputs.

Tons of really cool military applications as well. Control a drone swarm with your mind. That's basically "moving a cursor"

According to a source close to the situation, Kotaku's staff will be expected to create 50 guides a week at the site.

49 of those guides will be typed, edited, and proof-read by KotaGPT.

Only 1 guide will be actually human-written and it'll probably be overwritten by KotaGPT the moment it's published. 😛

🤔 Would a taser work? I am thinking EMP by electric shot.

#

🤔 Assuming said taser penetrates the shell.

brittle dove
#

a taser probably wouldn't, but graphite flakes / fibers blasted on it would probably be bad for it.

brittle dove
#

We have air burst munitions intended to be dropped over power plants and infrastructure that disperse a shit ton of graphite fibers

#

We also have air burst, explosive munitions that generate a directed EMP pulse.

#

It could actually be possible to make cartridges like that for firearms, although the technology would have to be enhanced, maybe we already have minuture flux pumped blanks for taking on drones with conventional weapons.

summer cedar
#

We'd need an AI-negator bullet.

Something that disables, but allows for said AI to be restarted.

Otherwise, we'd waste too much money on reconstruction.

Like how in europe, the governments / regulators claim to care about people's privacy, but upon closer inspection / thought you realize:

  1. Consumers never see a penny of compensation money when they are the ones who experience damage from the unlawful use of their data. even when the government has done the heavy legal work of proving that a violation has taken place. you want compensation?, you gotta go up against the corp yourself. Good luck!

  2. They never stop repeat offenders. The fines are always just so that the companies will pay them, but will continue operating in the region.

#

It's pretty obvious that they care about the revenue stream, not people's privacy.

brittle dove
#

They sure stop / put lots of effort into stopping repeat drunk driving offenses though, because they do genuinely care about stopping those from happening.

#

they do not genuinely care about stopping the privacy violations, just billing for them.

#

They will permanately take away your license, etc.

#

not just charge you a fine and tell you to carry on

#

Then if you are found driving, they will arrest you and lock you up temporarily and you would face additional penalties.

#

that is what it looks like when a government wants to stop something from happening.

brittle dove
#

steady escalation until "you're out."

#

When will they say "That's it, too many violations. You're done here" to facebook, apple, google?

never.
