[wet wasp]

yes

no headphone jack

just bluetooth

[slim yacht]

then just connect it directly to windows why do u have to use your tab?

[unique roost]

Pretty sure it's not possible to use an Android tablet that way

[wet wasp]

im using a desktop computer which doesnt have bluetooth

[wet wasp]

yea thats what weve figured

[slim yacht]

sir if your pc natively dont have bluetooth its logistically impossible to connect an external output device to your computer using bluetooth

[graceful burrow]

Without a Bluetooth adapter

[slim yacht]

yes

[graceful burrow]

Gotta be verbose

[unique roost]

I mean it's not technically impossible, but you'd have to write your own drivers

And that's a pain

[wet wasp]

no, I have connected my tablet to my pc and trying to use my tablet as an adapter but as we have figured out it dont work like that so my broke ass gotta go get an adapter now (connected my tablet THROUGH usb)

[slim yacht]

sometimes going far

[slim yacht]

like i said unless you can somehow have direct kernel access to modify how your bluetooth system works in your preconfigured modem its really hard/impossible to turn it into anything adapter

[unique roost]

Not necessarily

[slim yacht]

you can however make a special device outside of the tab itself to make it as a driver to be an adapter
but this will cost you more money lol

[unique roost]

He could write an Android app that could conceivably route the data from Bluetooth to usb

[slim yacht]

you realistically cant do that with android lol

[unique roost]

But he'd have to write a driver for windows depending on how the app does it or the limitations of Android

Yeah idk if Android allows USB access

[wet wasp]

yea bro let me just read the book of how to become an app developer in 5minutes and ill brb

bro wait a minute....

[graceful burrow]

asks for ways to make it happen
gets the most realistic answer
shits on it
Yeah okay

[wet wasp]

what if i just connect my headset with usb

[wet wasp]

when did I shit on it?

[graceful burrow]

Here

Dismissive in a snarky way

[slim yacht]

android auto devices for example uses an additional A2DP external receiver for it to be able to be a receiver
but again that requires more work and more money

[graceful burrow]

[wet wasp]

yea bro I made a joke, how do you expect me to write and android app

or app in general

[graceful burrow]

By learning

Anyone can code for android it's open source kek

[wet wasp]

Im not fit for that :/ why do you have to come in and make this such a problem

[graceful burrow]

I'm just speaking truths sorry if you don't like em

[wet wasp]

I just got a realistic answer and simply said "fuck that aint happening" so i gotta get an adapter

[slim yacht]

writing an app for android using any code language is one thing
getting an access for full usb control is another
my guy realistically will have to fully learn linux before he can even do that

[graceful burrow]

Sounds like a bonus to me

[slim yacht]

if he wants to learn, good

[wet wasp]

im not writing a whole app just to get bluetooth working

[slim yacht]

then he wont get an adapter and learn to write instead

[wet wasp]

I dont want to learn how to write code, yall please 😭

im out

thanks for the help anyways

[graceful burrow]

Anytime

[slim yacht]

then turn yourself from broke to 20 dollars more cash to buy an adapter

either you grind your brain or you grind something else

can you be a twitch sub and get the same thing?

[graceful burrow]

Only the broad topic of piracy, nothing specific at all

Idk other stuff

[full fossil]

oh bet and I get extra content?

[graceful burrow]

Yeah on floatplane itself

[full fossil]

thats cool Ive heard of it in the vids but never looked into it

im signin up right now

does the 5 bucks only stream 1080p

or do I have to pay 10 for 1440p?

[graceful burrow]

No clue, never looked into it

oh

[full fossil]

Ill subscribe once I get a reply from Floatplane (LMG) and know how the options for 1080p and if 4k includes 1440p resolution

[junior kraken]

where did you contact them?

[full fossil]

off of the floatplane website

[graceful burrow]

Why would 4k not include 1440p?

[junior kraken]

ig if it supports 1440p

[warped sandal]

sony's ps5 cant handle 1440p lmfao

[full fossil]

im not sure if it does because other channels that dont specify only includes 1080p and 4k

[junior kraken]

some players can go 1080p to 4k, without any options in between

[full fossil]

doesnt support it can handle it tho

[warped sandal]

i meant to say that

[graceful burrow]

It supports 360p I would imagine 1440p is an option

[full fossil]

but do I need to subscribe to the higher teir for 1440p? that's all I wanna know

[warped sandal]

is linus here

[full fossil]

I read some posts saying with the 4k subscription doesn't support 1440p

[warped sandal]

linus is my beloved

[junior kraken]

i don't imagine 1080p plan supports 1440p

[full fossil]

Im aware of that im asking if the 4k plan does offer it

[warped sandal]

the amount of fake linuses shocks me

[full fossil]

[golden talon]

he’s sent like 4 messages in the life time of this server

[runic sierra]

• 4k
• 120hz
• Budget is max $2000 (Tax included)

Planning on connecting it to my computer as well as using it as a smart TV occasionally.* (Watch most of my movies from my computer anyway)* Was trying to find what's decent now-a-days as I haven't bought a new TV in what feels like a decade. I did find this "Hisense ULED 75U7G" on Amazon that seems to be fit the bill?

It's 75 inches
1000-nit
HDR10+
Dolby Vision
120hz
Has a "Game mode" for supposed low latency. (I think reviews said it was around 7-8ms)

Worth it? Or am I better off getting something else?

[warped sandal]

[runic sierra]

Looking for around 75 inches to fill a certain spot on my wall

[full fossil]

oof goodluck at that pricepoint

the closest youll get is a LG c1 65 inch for 1600

[warped sandal]

whoever hacked my account and closed all my dms, thanks for doing something i couldnt 🙂

no servers lost, no passwords changed

[runic sierra]

What's wrong with the TV I posted? Hisense ULED 75U7G

[full fossil]

high response time

[runic sierra]

And why OLED's? Playing games and using windows will result in a burn in, no?

[full fossil]

the lg C1 65inch has a 1ms response time and supports all you wanted

[full fossil]

new oleds dont really burn in that youd think

[warped sandal]

i wish discord had support for youtube music 😦

[full fossil]

my LG c1 ive had for a year and I play tons of minecraft on it (i use it as a monitor) has zero burn in affter 1500 hours of minecraft

[warped sandal]

lucky my 2019 macbook has burn in after 1200 hours

[runic sierra]

Also I've been using an old LG monitor for years. An IPS panel at 3440x1440. 60hz. One of their first "Ultra-wides". Response time likely isn't that much better. I dunno if I'd be able to tell between 1ms response and 10ms.

[full fossil]

response time is more of just if itll be a blurry mess or not

in my option id go with an LG option, The panels are great and they have wonderful warranty's

[runic sierra]

Well, I'm used to this old panel with light bleed in all 4 corners. I don't NEED perfect blacks from an OLED. Surely there's gotta be another option with good response times for gaming

[full fossil]

once you use one you wont wanna go back

[runic sierra]

Exactly, and I haven't used once since, lol. I don't want to spend over $3,000 on a TV.

[full fossil]

its $1600 on sale right now from $2200

[runic sierra]

Which? The C1? See it on Bestbuy at $1600 down from $1700

[full fossil]

LG website

Oh its out of stock on the website

bestbuy might be an option I suppose

[runic sierra]

Still....that's 10 whole inches down =[

[junior kraken]

i would take a good 65 inch over the 75 inch one, especially if it's for gaming

[full fossil]

I understand, the feature sets are okay on hisense but I had an hisensetv I bought my grandma and it just full on stopped working after 8 months

[junior kraken]

also wouldn't trust hisense, a brand i never heard off with that amount of money

[full fossil]

hisense is garbage in my opinion

[runic sierra]

Gaming occasionally. I'd say....

40% as a 2nd monitor for movies/shows
40% as a normal smart TV
20% as a 2nd monitor for games (using my PC)

[junior kraken]

is hisense like a NA brand?

[full fossil]

I think its international

[junior kraken]

wtf is your primary monitor if your secondary one is 75 inches lol

[full fossil]

there trash tho

[junior kraken]

hmm, never heard of it

[full fossil]

Even the 65 inch c1 I use as my monitor is way too big

I have a really deep desk so it makes up for it tho

[runic sierra]

This will be across my room. So big is appreciated.

[full fossil]

at 75inchs id save up for a qd oled

go big or go home

Samsung QN90B is really nice ive seen a display model at microcenter

[runic sierra]

Got my bed on one side, and it faces my desk/computer across the room. Been watching movies and shows on the monitor I have which at that distance? Even a 3440x1440 34 inch monitor looks kinda small.

[full fossil]

1991 Magnavox 13"" CRT tv.

I couldn't make a good suggestion for a tv at 75inchs for that price point @runic sierra

sorry

I wish you luck with this tho

[full fossil]

whats the price?

[runic sierra]

Me-thinks the general population here and myself have different ideas of what is "quality". I don't wanna use the term, "Elitist". but it seems some of you have been exposed to --and are used to, top of the line sort of quality. I've been riding out this old ultrawide since it came out. So everything looks better to me, lol

[runic sierra]

Max price is roughly $2000 USD

[full fossil]

ight so ur looking for a 75 inch tv thats undef 2,000 USD?

[runic sierra]

Or not too much over.

40% as a 2nd monitor for movies/shows
40% as a normal smart TV
20% as a 2nd monitor for games (using my PC)

[full fossil]

ok ill start looking

[full fossil]

1000-nit

Has a "Game mode" are req

ok ill look

[runic sierra]

Not requirements, those are features I saw on the Hisense

[full fossil]

oh I thought you were looking for those

[runic sierra]

I would like 120hz though. I usually keep my room pitch black with blacked out curtains and such.

Everyone has vastly different opinions on tv's now-a-days it seems. Hard to discern what's fanboyism and what's actually true =/

[unborn flare]

Yo

[unborn flare]

I mean tbh trying to find someone to get the best pick for you is not really effective tbh it's many personal factors which effect you viewing experience, something that's different person to person

[runic sierra]

I just want good stats and specs, lol. My monitor is sorta old and that being said , anything will be an improvement.

[unborn flare]

I mean yea but are the best specs really important to you? 🗿 many peeps don't play competitive games and or don't play games with fast paced action at all so latency shouldn't be a big concern if you aren't specifically looking for a gaming display

[runic sierra]

40% as a 2nd monitor for movies/shows
40% as a normal smart TV
20% as a 2nd monitor for games (using my PC)

75 inches
120hz
Decent for gaming
$2000 budget (roughly)

That's all the criteria I have. Finding something to suit that has been a tad difficult. Everytime I think I found something? Someone comes up and gives me reasons why it's a bad choice, lol

[unborn flare]

Your use case doesn't demand very low latency imo so colors and brightness seems more prominent here

[unborn flare]

Tbh not I'm not really a movie guy and i don't watch much tv but yea something with good colors and medium latency with 120hz must be enough for you

[runic sierra]

That's what I've been thinking. But first I was suggested OLED's only. Those were way out of my price budget.

[unborn flare]

I mean at 75 inches you don't have many choices for oleds or high end displays in your budget

[runic sierra]

I know. But I've found some TCL's, Hisense, Samsung, and a Sony that seem to fit the bill of what I'm looking for?

[unborn flare]

With 120hz?

[runic sierra]

what are some of the python libraries one may use to train computer vision to match photos to types? Sorry if wrong channel

[lucid echo]

OpenCV is the go-to vision library in Python

[unique roost]

OpenCV

[lucid echo]

However I don’t know if it’s advanced enough to recognize what an object is by name, I’ve only ever used it for shape detection

[unique roost]

Idk if pytorch has image processing but I'm sure you can combine it with opencv and do something useful

[lethal copper]

Thanks!

The use case will sound stupid and confusing without context but it's to recognise picrew profile pics >:)

:troll:

[lucid echo]

If it’s for matching pictures (and not, for example, identifying a cat inside a picture) openCV should do the trick

[lethal copper]

Alright, splendid

I want to experiment and I think it will be funny to try matching profile pics generated using a website which I find a bit annoying

they all in same style so I think it'll be easy to get like a 1000 big sample, random pics inbetween and it'll be good to go

[fallow echo]

The beers would be atleast €53. 01 (converted from GBP) by them selves here 🙃

[upbeat ridge]

Beers in NL are normally around 4-4,50, so that would be 40,5 euro here

Although that’s not for the 0,5L beers

[fallow echo]

What size is that for?

[dapper plank]

Hey

[twin raptor]

*too much

[warped narwhal]

Right, but if you drink occasionally and even then only like, 1 glass. I don't see an issue

Like health issues this health issues that

but the fact is, air is polluted enough in the cities that it affects many people, our light pollution affects sleep,

and sleep is easily the singlemost thing that modern society lacks.

to the point where not sleeping can oftentimes be even seen as cool

so my point is that, yes while any amount is bad, drinking occasionally won't make a noticeable difference whatsoever

[upbeat ridge]

Mostly for the 0,30-0,33 L

Oh yes it definitely is

Doesn’t stop me tho

[torpid heart]

anyone know a fix for amd gpus dropping down to 0% when loading chunks in minecraft

this only started happening after the new drivers 22.6 22.7 etc

[unique roost]

I feel like a large compounding variable in alcohol studies is simply making worse choices when inebriated

Like is it the alcohol or tendency to eat unhealthy foods with the alcohol

[twin raptor]

There are studies with strong conclusions on both sides of the issue, my view is that alcohol, like anything else, is ok in moderation.

[sonic barn]

you can try optifine or just lowering draw distance

Links a study that literally starts with:

“Our message is simple: young people should not drink, but older people may benefit from drinking small amounts,” the study’s senior author said.

[sonic barn]

drinking what

oh alcholol yeah

its bad for your health

https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/substance-use/alcohol/health-risks.html

they tried getting people to stop buying it then our gdp fell or something

so they stopped

[obtuse spindle]

No, if it is like 5vol or less vol, it's basically nothing

Ofcourse if you drink rarely

[fossil frost]

there are studies that say that, and there are studies that say moderate drinking is good for you.

the only thing we know for sure is that studies usually come out with the result that the designer of the study was trying to find

[full fossil]

I feel like most people don't buy alcohol intending to get health benefits out of it. Especially at a younger age. I'm 21 and most of the drinking I see is people trying to get drunk at parties to have fun. Don't really know of anyone close to my age that drinks alcohol for health

[west sentinel]

I rather drink for any celebration

including getting fired from the job

[obtuse spindle]

Like modarete or very little, but ofcourse drinking very rarely, like, at like a family gathering once a month is ok

[west sentinel]

also working as a bartender is fun

it's like breaking bad chemistry but alcohol

and working as bartender is luxury job

[full fossil]

I feel that; I had a really crappy internship for a software dev job with a boss that was one of the worst people i've ever had to interact with, super stressful and got fired pretty unfairly. my dad upon hearing the news i was fired shared some whiskey with me... still not the biggest fan of whiskey but was appropriate in the moment

[obtuse spindle]

I just realised one of my friend could be a long distant causing, and we both never knew, bc my grandma's grandma's last name was the same as his and we both are from the same town

[west sentinel]

well at least I am making my way to be the computer engineer

[fossil frost]

everyone on the planet is a long distant cousin to everyone else

[west sentinel]

for the company that serves the BEST LUXUIROUS FOOD I EVER SEEN

[west sentinel]

and I felt bad for you

hopefully you can understand what it's like to have an stressful job and you can handle calmly

[full fossil]

it has reinforced in me how teams should work by giving a very good counterexample in how teams should not work

not too bad that I got fired because it was not a very healthy job; I had a roommate who worked for the same person and I realized a lot of the frustrating things he would do in conversation probably stemmed from how he had to interact in that job

I think one of the big problems was the boss was both managing but also developing the codebase, so when he wanted a feature implemented, it was moreso you had to guess at how he wanted something implemented, instead of just accomplishing what he wanted; and he would micromanage at that

a good example is when I refactored a component that was duplicated but only really had a coordinate system change; the duplication was causing problems because we were iterating rapidly on it, so I made the component just deal with abstract coordinates and had subclasses actually plug in the x/y so they could be swapped - he disagreed with some naming convention I had (wanted 'width' to be on the subclasses, but since it was abstract I didn't call it 'width'), and nearly tore out all of my changes and sent me back to dealing with duplication. Had to argue with him a fair amount before he wouldn't just tear my code out

[west sentinel]

I thought engineer was a species

[woeful glen]

That's awesome 😤

[west sentinel]

I am not going to complain, its what make engineering careers to grow

[full fossil]

oh but when i went to apply for a job they said i cant be an engineer?

[west sentinel]

only if you are smart people like gender people can be smart too

[woeful glen]

No ducks

[west sentinel]

ducks can be engineer too

[covert ore]

"gendered people" 😂 sorry it sounds a bit funny , not all of us are western folks with western society weird norms

i'm shocked and astounded this conversation isn't being shut down by mods

[woeful glen]

3080 power draw is gonna be nicer to your budget and still a good card for now

I wonder who's gonna drill into NVIDIA's skull that people aren't gonna buy super power hungry cards

[covert ore]

hmm...

[covert ore]

i have unlimited power here in dubai

[tribal night]

i've been in the pc building world since the 600 series

[woeful glen]

I'm going to drill Nvidia alright 😈

[rancid cedar]

Lots of people who do big rendering jobs. 4090 will be more power-efficient than a 3090

It will use more wattage at any given moment, sure, but your kW/h will be less overall

[full fossil]

real talk on GPUs, no clue if it's still a good value in the current market, but I'm really happy with a 3070. Works great at 1440p, which I feel like is a good desktop resolution, and good performance in most games.

[west sentinel]

what are we going to do inside Nvidia's brain?

[woeful glen]

A lot of things are going to be done inside Nvidia 🤤

Wrong and rainbow mentality. 3080 win

[runic flax]

Please just stop, both of you.

[tribal night]

so uh, how bout those M1s huh

[west sentinel]

I don't like cupcake 💀

[tribal night]

I've been playing fallout 4 on my m1 pro and it's actually stupid how smooth it is

[full fossil]

I have a friend who does design who thinks there should be 8K monitors, but in my general use case 1440p seems like the right resolution to target. I'm forgetting why my friend likes 8K. 4K seems excessive to me in terms of monitor resolution, at least for my current setup of a 27" that's only about a foot max in front of my face

[tribal night]

mods

[woeful glen]

I dont believe the M1 are real

[runic flax]

This isn't the place to talk about something like that @covert ore

[full fossil]

3080 seems cool for TV gameplay though, when 4K might make more sense

[twin raptor]

Bro this ain't the place to tell people about it

[west sentinel]

Why 3070 has a 4K capabilities but can't run 4k better?

[twin raptor]

16? I use 16384k

[full fossil]

well i mean it's capable but just not powerful enough is my guess. a really light game could probably run 4K on the 3070. i don't think it targets it though

i've not tried to run 4K on 3070 but I'm sure it could output it

[tribal night]

I've personally never felt any pain with 1440p on my PC. I like my mac's 4k screen but I've never felt that the games I play need crazy resolutions

[full fossil]

yeah, for programming and gaming, 1440p is great.

[covert ore]

alright bro

[twin raptor]

I honestly am fine with the relatively low resolution of 1080p. Wi t h my 3060 I have ample power for anything I try to play

[covert ore]

mans watching me 😼

[tribal night]

I personally think refresh rate has a bigger effect on perceived game looks than display resolution

[west sentinel]

I think i7-12600k is better for programming

and editing 4k

[full fossil]

honestly for a long time i used 1080p and it's not bad at all. Definitely appreciate 1440p for productivity now though since it can just fit more onto the screen

[twin raptor]

Yes, I use 1080p 165hz

[full fossil]

heh, Ryzen 5 3600 in my build

[twin raptor]

Same

[rancid cedar]

3070 is good enough for ultrawide 4K gaming (e.g. 3840 x 1440 or 3840 x 1600).... fewer pixels than full 4K but you still get a good gaming experience

[full fossil]

might go back to team blue on a future build, but honestly given the power consumption, i feel like AMD is maybe nicer in terms of efficiency

[west sentinel]

is it that hard to read AMD's names?

[tribal night]

dude you appear to be the one all worked up about this, so I'd just leave it. We're trying to have an on-topic conversation here and it's just pointless for you to go on this weird tirade

[west sentinel]

I am having a hard time so much reading the AMD's graphic name

and I can't understand a single thing

[covert ore]

3080 12 gb or 6900 xt ?

both are 230 KD

[tribal night]

whichever's cheaper

[covert ore]

both are 230 KD

[twin raptor]

230 kd? Mine is like 1.2

[tribal night]

are you using linux?

if linux, then AMD, if scientific computing on linux, nvidia. otherwise, nvidia

[tawdry musk]

if i was choosing, some factors i would take in to account are service levels offered
are you upgrading regularly? maybe AMD
do you plan on keeping the hardware for a few years? nvidia

[rancid cedar]

Service levels, as in, how long they support a card with new driver updates?

[tawdry musk]

yes

[full fossil]

i've yet to try AMD for a graphics card, I always say I will because I want to be able to run Linux competently, but then I just can't figure out their numbering scheme and all the reviews point to NVidia being better, and I promptly forget about Linux and go NVidia

NVidia is so, so frustrating for Linux though

[rancid cedar]

NVidia currently supports the last 4 generations of video cards with full driver updates, and security updates for the generation before that. That covers you for 10 years.

[tawdry musk]

I find that AMD tend to provide more processing power and the expense of service
Nvidia will continue to update their drivers after several generations have rolled out

linux is a different story, i would go with Intel

[tribal night]

we're talking about graphics cards

unless you also are 🤔

[graceful burrow]

He is, nvidia on Linux leaves a lot to be desired

[tribal night]

but he's saying he would go with Intel for linux gpus?

[graceful burrow]

Ye

Amd is also a good choice

[ocean narwhal]

Those are the only choices?

[tawdry musk]

intel have choices

[ocean narwhal]

Kinda

[graceful burrow]

No? You can definitely use nvidia if you want
I do because it's what I got

Nvidia drivers just aren't up to par

[ocean narwhal]

Oh I actually can't read

At all

[tribal night]

I use nvidia on linux just because of CUDA

I need it for the work I do, and I really don't feel like porting to openCL

[ocean narwhal]

I still never coded anything up for gpu 😢

[tawdry musk]

I dont need anything right now as far as GPU's goes, but the as far as the whole versus thing goes, Intel seems to be the best way to go at the moment

[tribal night]

it's a very valuable skillset but requires you to completely rethink how you write code

[ocean narwhal]

Would like to learn if I ever had a use case

My job ain't even got gpus

[full fossil]

i've never worked with GPU programming, what sorts of things does it entail that make code different?

[tribal night]

mass parallelism

you need to be extremely careful with memory access and race conditions

[ocean narwhal]

I did want to learn Cuda to write some animated noise generators but never got around to it actually

[tribal night]

it's really interesting once you get the hang of it but the learning curve is steeeeeeeeeep

[onyx moth]

Hello there

[ocean narwhal]

I wrote it to just use threads and it was fast enough so I decided to not bother and then I gave up on the project before I needed more speed

Dunno if I even have it anymore 😢😢

[full fossil]

really wish i'd gotten to take a college course on parallel programming, unfortunately the offerings of it started happening after I needed to graduate

we got taught some skills with regards to synchronization and avoiding race conditions / deadlock, but not a lot of guidance on designing parallelizable systems that are performant

[ocean narwhal]

I don't think I'll get a chance to take our schools "hpc" course which does some gpu stuff

[onyx moth]

Did you go to school for computer science?

[full fossil]

yep

not a great CS department but eh, I got to learn how the CPU actually works and got to learn some low level C things, so I'm fairly content
(also learning over COVID was brutal)

[vapid smelt]

Nerd

[ocean narwhal]

Lol same my education is so garbage

[onyx moth]

Bro its the coolest major

[ocean narwhal]

Very little of the stuff they taught me was used on the job. That said I don't regret being in school

[full fossil]

in hindsight i wish I'd done computer engineering

not necessarily because it's a better fit for what i want to do, but because my school's CE program was much better, and i feel like picking up more programming down the line would be easier than if down the line I decide I want to fiddle with electronics

[ocean narwhal]

Probably true

U can learn CE stuff at home but learning programming and software design is way easier at home

[onyx moth]

Imma guess you guys work as software engineers, right?

Ever thought of a career in research ?

[full fossil]

thanks the internet archive for existing

watching some wile e coyote and road runner atm

[full fossil]

didn't get any research experience in school unfortunately. there are some cool areas in research though, particularly operating systems / security research is fascinating to me

highly recommend if you like. the classic slap stick of 60's & 70's cartoons

[ocean narwhal]

All my professors do the most boring shit imaginable I can't imagine dedicating myself to anything like what they do

[slim yacht]

in terms of lab and raw CE its very tough to learn at home. especially without direct guidance. CE chaps here

[full fossil]

at the university i went to, the professors didn't really talk about their research, and I presume it's because half the classes were taught by lecturers who didn't do research, and also because the program was so impacted and shoving through students that didn't care, that maybe professors didn't feel it was worth advertising research. Classes I took outside of CS by contrast usually openly invited students.

[onyx moth]

Thats good to know, it seems to me like most CS grads get into software eng instead of research, so i was just wondering what the reason could be except salary and stuff like that

[ocean narwhal]

Salary good

[unique roost]

Very good

[ocean narwhal]

Entering industry making more than ppl 4 years older than me kinda epicly

[unique roost]

Work life balance is also better - company dependant of course

[ocean narwhal]

Ye

[full fossil]

I like good salaries, good work life balance, and wonderful company culture, and that's why it's my dream to work for Activision Blizzard /s

[slim yacht]

from what i was told youre not supposed to focus on research with CS due to its nature of study. Its leans far more to skills sharpening instead.

[unique roost]

CS research is math research

Or security research

[onyx moth]

Lmao the only industry that offers that too is investment banking, but with a 80 hour work week

[full fossil]

Eh, I feel like it depends. CS != programming in a fair number of cases. though I think I do like the CS research that feels like it has more to do with actual systems, so OSes and security

[unique roost]

And NYC CoL

[ocean narwhal]

What's col

[slim yacht]

discrete based research are very specific to what he wants to do. if he wants to do ML/AI then yes. maths research are relevant. blockchain even if hes into that sort of thing
otherwise research is not really that common. development tho is very much their field

[ocean narwhal]

Ehhhh

Math creeps into virtually everything

All research*

[full fossil]

honestly i think i'm not cut out or necessarily super interested to angle into research, I'm sort of more in the category that I studied CS to figure out how the computer actually works (assembly/machine org.), got to learn C and how memory works, data structures/algorithms, got to look at some OS internals and how filesystems work, some exposure to distributed systems and security, and I'm probably content to not use 90% of that as I work on iOS apps but maybe someday I'll write an OS in my free time for the hell of it

[slim yacht]

pretty much any kind of IT relates heavily to maths

from my pov as a CE i need to teach how a computer can read what you type = binary system

thus digital to analog converter.

[unique roost]

Cost of living

[ocean narwhal]

Well, I don't use very much math in my actual dev job

But tbf the thing I'm working on is basically just shuffling data around it really is boring af

[slim yacht]

yeah definitely
usually 95% that tough maths you learn is not really needed since many of the maths have been figured out

[ocean narwhal]

I didn't do nearly as much math as I should have in school tho also

I only did like calc 1 and stats lmao

[full fossil]

my brain ejected all mathematical ability after i no longer had classes that used it

[unique roost]

Math is very important if you're trying to prove your algorithm is more efficient

[full fossil]

which I hate because I used to do well at calculus and linear algebra, but then I just lost it all

[slim yacht]

same
kanaught map who ? circuit analysis who ? engineering materials who? = my exact question

[unique roost]

Also math and ca are very closely tied because people are starting to forget computers were created to do math faster

Also if you wanna prove an algorithm that does what you want to do is even possible

That's what CS research is about

[full fossil]

for me in CS it was even worse... maybe just COVID but went from getting a 5 on AP exam for calculus in 12th grade, doing integrals in freshman year of college along with stats, linalg; to forgetting how to do basic unit conversion arithmetic for basic "operation throughput" formulas in third year of college

[slim yacht]

thats why i chose CE instead

[full fossil]

i think once the classes went online my brain sort of just collapsed

[slim yacht]

hands on job 100% is love

[ocean narwhal]

I will probably go learn all the math I need online at some point

I'd like to be able to understand the calculus and whatnot behind AI models and 3d rendering

[unique roost]

AI is statistics and not much calculus

3d rendering is physics

And geometry

[onyx moth]

There are probably a lot of books about that

[unique roost]

Not much calculus

[ocean narwhal]

Well neural nets and the backpropagation etc

Nah there's plenty of linear algebra and matrices in rendering

[full fossil]

probability theory has a fair amount of calculus doesn't it?

or does that not really come up at that level for ML much

[unique roost]

Hmm yeah you're right

It depends on how good of an ML model you want to make

kinda funny to think about

[onyx moth]

Bro i am from the country with the silliest english accent, but yeah, it depends on the region

[onyx moth]

Bro i thought you where from Texas 😂

[full fossil]

nah I was just referencing the US

oh boy Texas is… slightly terrifying

Heard Austin’s pretty nice though, if hot

[onyx moth]

From my European perspective, ‘slightly’ is a light understatement

[full fossil]

but yeah there are guns in California, it’s very weird. I live in a pretty nice neighborhood but a couple weeks back someone got shot in some altercation really close to where I live…

but then again I didn’t see it and so it’s kinda just like “huh, wild” and then the day moves on

yeah Europe seems pretty crazy, in good ways. literally could not imagine that public transit is the main way people get around, it’s unimaginable with US cities, but after hearing from friends in college who are strong transit advocates it makes sense

and now I’m jealous of inner city subways/transit because damn that would be convenient compared to traffic

San Diego has a light rail but it’s quite out of the way, compared globally it’s extremely infrequent, and of course the city is so sprawly its kinda random chance how well it works to get you somewhere. Busses might help but they’re also super infrequent haha

If I read correctly you’re in France, ive seen some pictures of cities with quite beautiful rail lines there - seems cool 🙂

[vapid smelt]

California is a meme

[unique roost]

Nah it's actually a pretty nice place to live. The politics made it a meme

[full fossil]

I like it, but considering a move to either the east coast or maybe Seattle, just somewhere where there’s more transit focus. I know full damn well I’m not a good driver haha. Seattle seems like it has good transit and is aggressively expanding, east coast seems like it has good historic cities with good transit and more intercity rail

San Diego is really hard to complain about though, I’m very fortunate to be here, makes other cities tough to contemplate a move to… the beaches are just so damn nice

[unique roost]

Intercity rail is a joke anywhere in the US

Nah bro I’m in germany, and yes, public transportation is pretty nice here, but tbh, there is a lot stopping it from being amazing. The Deutsche bahn introduced the so called 9 euro ticket a couple months ago ( its basically a ticket for nine bucks that carries you through the whole country). Thousands of people that didn’t took a subway in years where now active clients of the Deutsche Bahn, but they still decided to not longer sell the ticket which is kinda dumb in my opinion

[unique roost]

Ah gotcha, interesting. Guessing the transits still probably eons ahead of US haha 😆

some of the surface streets look like damn four lane highways here 😳

Oh thanks for reminding me! I know Germany is almost stereotypical for efficiency and stuff, but the deutsche bahn is a fucking joke when it comes to efficiency hahaha

[full fossil]

my expectations for NYC may be skewed by other parts of the US; I had a friend who lived in NYC this summer and he was disappointed in the transit compared to Vancouver, BC; stuff was super infrequent in comparison

[slim yacht]

man germany is efficient yes
but not all of them are. their trains for example still shares the same platform and lines
bullet train ? = yes
share lines? = yes
that makes them have to heavily coordinate and have really strict time accuracy

[full fossil]

efficient by platform and lines count

maximize reuse of lines 😉

[vapid smelt]

Gemany is closing down their reactors and reopening their coal plants

altho the route goes to the whole france instead

At least you guys appeared in pulp fiction so that’s at least something

[slim yacht]

thats why you can dial up in your network. every floor is preconfigured with their own local ip addresses

[onyx moth]

Btw best movie on earth

[full fossil]

Haven’t watched it, honestly, probably should

[onyx moth]

How dare you

Jk

[slim yacht]

fried chicken would really be nice right now tbh

[full fossil]

I’m uncultured 😔

[full fossil]

Damn now I want fried chicken

[slim yacht]

hehe boi

[full fossil]

could go to Popeyes… mmm major chain fried chicken

it’s tempting

[wide thicket]

They have ghost pepper wings

[onyx moth]

I want a Royale with cheese/QPC

[wide thicket]

I’m going to Popeyes

[onyx moth]

I gotta say, you guys have some dope fast food chains ngl

[wide thicket]

Not as good as the US

We have Popeyes in Canada

[onyx moth]

Oh I assumed it was us American

[full fossil]

US is interesting because you can either live in amazing places for food or total food deserts

I’m lucky because most of the places I’ve been in have good food

[onyx moth]

Watch pulp fiction, then you will understand it

[full fossil]

San Diego has three places within walking distance of where I’m at with super tasty burritos that are just 👌 and it’s a matter of picking which place is the best because they’re all good. And there’s lots more I don’t know of

for the less walkable places, you’re probably not more than a short drive from a good Mexican food place (I suppose Cali-Mex to be technical; food in Mexico I think has very different styles)

gah now I’m second guessing chicken for yet another burrito despite having burritos all the time

or rolled tacos, hmmmmmm

[onyx moth]

I also feel like the cashiers and servers at fast food chains are so much nicer in the US.

[full fossil]

I can’t tell how much is genuine friendliness vs. “service with a smile, if you don’t you’re fired :)”

I think a bit of both

Target (department store) straight up has policies and if you don’t smile enough you’re fired, had a friend who dealt with that policy while working there iirc

it’s kinda brutal…

how is fast food service in Germany? (like in comparison friendliness wise)

[onyx moth]

It’s a joke

[full fossil]

Inb4 “Fuck you, here’s your hamburger”

“Here’s that order of fries to go, hope you overdose on salt and die”

[onyx moth]

It’s more like you specifically asked for sweet chill sauce instead of bbq sauce for 3 times and they still give you barbecue sauce. Most of the cashiers don‘t even know how the system in their macdonalds work, so sometimes you have to bend over to guide them through their oracle software

[full fossil]

oof

[onyx moth]

You can talk in clearest german, leave 2 second breaks between every word you say, and they still don’t understand you haha

[unique roost]

American service industry culture is toxic

Mainly because too many customers are too entitled

And too many people are classist and see the worker as below them

[lilac sage]

tipping culture

[unique roost]

Yeah that too subsidizing the restaurant owner

[onyx moth]

I don’t know man, you can specifically ask for a Big Mac without cheese here, get one with cheese, have to help the cashier with the cash register and save 4 bucks because the cashier can’t calculate change

[unique roost]

What register doesn't calculate for you when you push the right menu item

[lilac sage]

ur supposed to push the buttons with food on them

[spare badger]

Hi

[onyx moth]

Yes but they are then saying: that’ll be 12,38, you give them a 20 Euro note, and they will give you everything back but not the right amount

But to be fair, it’s a stressful job. I don’t want to know what other problems the people have that work at McDonald’s.

[full fossil]

don't need to Skeet, I memorized the prices and did the tax and change in my head

😉

hopefully you were referencing jimmy neutron sodium chloride meme or this will have no context

[onyx moth]

And I am not talking about highschoolers working there

[native furnace]

helloo

[onyx moth]

Hello there

[native furnace]

👋

do u own a pc..?

cuz ive been trying to convince my parents for like the past 4 months to get one ugh

[glacial basin]

currently no

2011 laptop

[native furnace]

o

im using an optiplex 😩

but we own an imac, but my dads not sure whether to sell it or not...

[lilac sage]

correct

[onyx moth]

Is it a financial problem, or do your parents just don’t allow you to have a new Computer

?

[native furnace]

well, kinda both

so they r worried that i will spend to much time on it 😂

and i did show them a budget build with a 1660, but they r not sure abt the price.

[tame rain]

Is anyone good with geometry

[glacial basin]

so probably budget issue

[onyx moth]

Try to get a Job, that will show your parents how important it is to you

[full fossil]

I've got some friends that have gotten good PC builds by buying a used PC and selectively upgrading components; that may be a good cost saving measure

[glacial basin]

if you're in the USA/anywhere where https://pcpartpicker.com/ is available maybe I could try helping, though if used prices are way better might as well go used

[onyx moth]

Usually yes, but it’s 2 am where I am rn, and my brain isn’t working at its normal capacity at this time.

[tame rain]

I’m having a hard time with my homework

I just started and we had to learn a whole entire unit in 3 days

[onyx moth]

I would recommend you the discord server of the study YouTuber gohar Kahn, he has a dedicated channel for helping with math.

[tame rain]

I didn’t know he had a discord

Thanks

[onyx moth]

I can send you an invite

[tame rain]

Please

[onyx moth]

Wait a sec

Hopefully I won’t get banned for promoting other servers

Ok good night

[full fossil]

goodnight 😄

[muted relic]

I thought Linus was kidding. Dennis and Colton literally did thousands of dollars of damage to his house.

Paint all over the carpet in several rooms, and damage to the banister.

Oh and damage to the hardwood floor too

[ocean narwhal]

Lol I haven't watched that

Fr?

[pearl silo]

So my mobo died today.....
Went to microcenter with some gear and did a full mobo swap in the case on the roof of my sedan.

Apparently people were watching from the checkout line and cheered when I finally got it working.

I'm so glad to be a part of the gaming /pc enthusiast community. I'm also glad my mobo didn't take my other components down with it.

I don't know what killed it tho...

[drifting prism]

Is there a easy way to take apart a small fan for cleaning

[feral wedge]

Swerve

[feral wedge]

No, just use a brush.

[drifting prism]

Ok

[lilac sage]

toothbrush I usually go for

but paintbrush is prob better

[drifting prism]

I don't know what a brush would do against 10+ years of dust

[lilac sage]

alot

because its abrasive

[vapid smelt]

With toothpaste

[wary summit]

So i have 50/20 wifi, would a 300 wifi card be enough (last time i bought a usb one it was 25/10)

[slim yacht]

yes if it has 5g

a 300mbps wifi card can just be a 2.4ghz which isnt saying alot

[manic torrent]

Ahhh, Sunday morning

[full fossil]

FH5 or FH4?

And is that a Dart or am I tripping? Lol

Wait no

It’s uhh Charger/Challenger

[lucid echo]

Looks like 5

[west sentinel]

ah yes, the feet touching the leg of the couch

[feral wedge]

It's def 5.

[west sentinel]

a laptop dangerously stand upright with a big ass HDMI cable

[feral wedge]

The road and HUD

Wait it might be 4

Crap I can't tell

Can someone help me figure out what kinda USB cable I have though?

[wary summit]

i have 30mb of cloud storage free with my internet provider

[feral wedge]

#off-topic

It's a operating system that is even more user-friendly. You can change your taskbar and stuff.

It's kinda like windows but better.

Well, 'better'. Very buggy.

[finite stratus]

Hey does anyone know where i can find the ltt fleshlight?

[neon mesa]

What

[young bloom]

the store online

[young bloom]

open your window blind thing

[cursive minnow]

operating system

Like Windows but better

"What is linux? Baby don't hurt me. Don't hurt me. No more." 😄

Because it is an operating system

Then what do you think it is?

What are you, writing a report for a homework assignment?

[neon mesa]

That's subjective really

[cursive minnow]

'Tell us more about your feelings...about linux."

[neon mesa]

I personally think the exact 180 degree opposite
Linux is not better

I have gave linux many tries again and again

I just keep coming back to windows

[woeful minnow]

I gave up on windows

Kept fucking things up

[unique roost]

You mean Linux is not better given your willingness to learn how to use it

Or lack thereof

[neon mesa]

If i need high will power just to use it
Do you think it's a good os lmao

[cursive minnow]

Windows is a secondary operating system for me. Dual booting is convenient if you can afford a second harddrive (which you should...prices are pretty good).

[neon mesa]

A good os should be something that can make people use it without needing to force themselves

[woeful minnow]

So not windows

[neon mesa]

Not Linux you mean

[woeful minnow]

Windows is a mess

[neon mesa]

Linux dependency mess

[cursive minnow]

Windows is getting bossy. It is like "Hey, I'm here. I'm going to boot first, I don't care what GRUB says." No windows, bad windows. [uses the spray bottle]

[unique roost]

Not saying that's bad or anything. Linux definitely has a steep learning curve and no one should be forced through it if they don't want to

[neon mesa]

Lack of compatibility
Dependency nightmare
Over reliance on windows VM

[unique roost]

But at least there's a repository

[cursive minnow]

Dependencies are easy to manage if you know how to use a package manager (e.g. apt, pacman, yay, etc.)

[woeful minnow]

None of those are issues that I have encountered often on Linux

[unique roost]

Windows is a mess when it comes to software management. Gotta find everything on your own. Linux? Just pull from the distro package repo

[woeful minnow]

Wanna try and uninstall something? Here’s a crappy menu that doesn’t have the app you’re looking for

[slim yacht]

its a download on a site instead of sudo apt shit you have to go through lol

[woeful minnow]

No it’s going online and looking for something instead of clicking “install”

[unique roost]

Yeah that's what I mean. I don't want to go to 10 different websites to setup my install or update my programs

[cursive minnow]

Arch Linux distros are probably better. It takes forever for Fedora and Debian based operating systems to add new software. Pacman (Arch's PACkage MANager) seems to do better. If you want something experiemental or proprietary, you can use yay.

[unique roost]

I can do it with a single command

[neon mesa]

Winget install

Even easy distros like mint keep having issues it's a mess

[scenic stump]

Linux dependencies can indeed be a mess, so it is smart to run containers or docker, I guess you can do that on Windows too

[woeful minnow]

Winget is good, but its missing a lot of software and has no gui option

[slim yacht]

i've said this and im gonna say it again, windows convenience supersede those of linux distros

[unique roost]

Lol I don't get why people shit on Linux so much. Just because you don't want to learn it doesn't make you lazy or Linux bad

[neon mesa]

And a lot of linux users here at the end of the day end up using windows vm again

[cursive minnow]

No they don't.

[neon mesa]

Might as well use windows

[slim yacht]

yes they do

[woeful minnow]

Because they are forced to

[unique roost]

Both have their uses. Windows is more convenient, Linux is more powerful for the power user

[scenic stump]

I accidentally enrolled my Windows to a work/school account to be managed by Intunes .. had a nightmarish time getting that off, my Windows did not even let me manage my own update or firewall settings anymore

[neon mesa]

You said linux compatibility is fine

[cursive minnow]

I'm using Steam, Chrome, Spotify, and Discord right now

[unique roost]

Linux also more reliable

[woeful minnow]

And as you said it’s not good if your have to force yourself to use an os

[neon mesa]

Then why do they need winVM

[cursive minnow]

I could use Microsoft Office either online or in WINE.

[woeful minnow]

Generally it is, very rarely is there something that you need to not use Linux for

[slim yacht]

i dont blame you for liking linux but for you to say its much easier and much convenient in comparison to windows is far from the truth.

[unique roost]

Because running games on Linux is a meme

[neon mesa]

Exactly

Adobe doesn't even work there too

[woeful minnow]

It’s not even that bad though

[neon mesa]

I tried using wine it just refuses

[woeful minnow]

Adobe fucking sucks anyway

[neon mesa]

Proton was pain

[unique roost]

Hah that depends heavily on the games you're trying to play

[woeful minnow]

Most people will never encounter an issue that forces them to use windows

[cursive minnow]

If you were using Flash in 2005, then yes. But This is 2022. Flash doesn't exist anymore and almost every browser has a PDF reader

[slim yacht]

lol thus going to my point number one
windows is much user friendly in comparison

[neon mesa]

Who the fuck use adobe only for flash

[unique roost]

With valve getting into the game officially I have no doubt it'll get better but as of right now it's still bad and inconsistent

[woeful minnow]

Proton works for most games now

[neon mesa]

Premiere, after effects, photoshop, etc

[scenic stump]

Flash is a good reason to keep a VM around .. kid you not, our company still uses flash for certain niche applications that cannot yet be retired

[woeful minnow]

Even anticheat isn’t an issue for most games now

[unique roost]

Do you even watch LTT videos? Why are you here

[cursive minnow]

"Hey! It's time to update. I know you have something important to do right now, but fuck it, I'm just going to force you to do this update that requires a restart."

[woeful minnow]

What?

[neon mesa]

That's rather outdated

[slim yacht]

you can just disable update in registry

[neon mesa]

Windows never force a restart on me nor give pop ups

[woeful minnow]

Damn windows is really user friendly

[cursive minnow]

And risk vulerablities for actual problems? Stupid!

[unique roost]

His numerous videos about gaming on Linux being not great still

[slim yacht]

what vulnerabilities ? that youre dumb to install stupid apps on windows?

[woeful minnow]

That’s cuz he’s never taken the time to learn what he’s doing first

He’s used windows his whole life and can’t adapt to something different

[cursive minnow]

No. Normies go outside. Geeks stay here.

Better yet since this is a Linux discussion, let's go to #linux.

[slim yacht]

hate all you want but windows is still superior for majority of users
i use both linux and windows, can confirm lol

[unique roost]

I like this suggestion

[woeful minnow]

The amount of dumb issues I’ve seen people have on windows is insane

[cursive minnow]

You're like that chubby kid from the FlashGitz videos, right?

[woeful minnow]

And guess what? A command fixes it half the time

The other half the time they have to reinstall windows

[slim yacht]

dk who that is but if that is meant as an insult then youre not making any point clear

[woeful minnow]

I’d rather take the os that lets the command work 100% of the time

[unique roost]

Lol now everyone's just being a dick

[slim yacht]

i'd rather take an os which doesnt need me learning sudo language

[cursive minnow]

If you end your argument with "well, I know I'm right about everything there fore my point is still valid" that is being a dick

[woeful minnow]

Bruh wut

[neon mesa]

Not just that gaming is still a pain
Game modding is even more pain and sometimes impossible

[cursive minnow]

He doesn't know the [spoiler]secret handshake[/spoiler]

[woeful minnow]

Sudo language frfr

[slim yacht]

? where did say shit like this even ?
what i said is true about linux, its superior but to common users windows are just as good, sometimes better

[wind wind]

Just had a damn bat flying around my room

[neon mesa]

It's just the linux elitism around
This argument has been from the dawn of time and always end up in stalemate @slim yacht

[cursive minnow]

Little one or big one? Because the little brown bats are usually easy to shoo outside

[neon mesa]

Or a mod stopping it

[wind wind]

Decent sized. I smacked it with a broom then threw a towel over it and put it outside

[slim yacht]

its pretty freaking simple to be honest
just use whichever u think benefits you most
it is not a scarce knowledge to know how far support for windows is in comparison

[cursive minnow]

That's OK. I'm sure he'll be fine and know better to fly in your house next time

[woeful minnow]

Linux users don’t try to convince people to use Linux because they think it makes them superior, it’s because we’re sick of being tech support for windows users and having to fix their dumb issues

[neon mesa]

Just keep it to yourself

[wind wind]

When I hit it it went flying into my roommate who was standing on the steps and said he felt it flapping at his feet

[neon mesa]

There are a lot more tech support for windows because guess what
90% of users use it

And a lot more less tech savy users on it

People who already installed linux can already do shit by themselves

[cursive minnow]

Things Linux users never fall for: Windows Tech Support Scams.

[wind wind]

Why would you want to actively do shit to make shit work on your pc

[neon mesa]

That's linux issue

[woeful minnow]

Bruh

[echo ridge]

I mean it's still possible

[neon mesa]

A lot of niche programs also only works on windows

[slim yacht]

if you dont like to help then shut up, other people can do it for you.
if youre tired of it then leave people who wants to stay on windows
linux is cool and shit but people will still choose ones that is universally used most

[woeful minnow]

Yeah but they’re niche

[wind wind]

Isn’t the whole point of computer automation is for shit to work automatically

[cursive minnow]

🇮🇳 "Hello, I am from Windows tech support. You owe us $200 for an apple iPod you bought on Amazon 15 years ago."

"Can you give us that money in Greedot gift cards."

[wind wind]

@cursive minnow do I have to tell a doctor or some shit I came in contact with a bag

Bat

[unique roost]

Ok that's because the developers are bad or it's a Microsoft product

[cursive minnow]

If he didn't bite or scratch you, you should be fine.

[echo ridge]

Covid 22

[slim yacht]

'oh linux is better because i can do everything i want to it, i can fix it myself'
yeah thats not everyone

[wind wind]

Nah he didn’t

[lilac sage]

not to mention that no covid has been detected in north american bats

[cursive minnow]

28 days later!

[woeful minnow]

Edge and teams 👀

[scenic stump]

Lol yeah he won't have covid. Rabies maybe

[wind wind]

I’m not worried about Covid lmao

[cursive minnow]

He probably won't have that either.
