I don't care about the performance aspect since I just play games but like

I don't like the security flaws

neither do I

I don't want some dudes halfway across the globe knowing how often I go on The Hub

but do you see me going all "I don't use Intel bcz I don't like X thing about them"?

I mean I'm using an Intel rn so

if it works then I'll use it

nothing is perfect

AMD has potato single threaded perf

while good in server space

how many years would you say the GTX 1080 has left before new games start raping it

So far it’s lasted about 3 years

And I’m guessing it should keep me going until after college?????

subtle hawk May 28, 2019, 6:08 PM

Honestly it will probably physically die before games start becoming too much for it

I only have a 1070ti and I doubt I'll ever really have to upgrade

Guessing games are kinda reaching their limits for what they can get away with for now

subtle hawk May 28, 2019, 6:10 PM

#

Tho I'm a little iffy since R6 on maxed usually hits like 100+ fps but lately goes between 50 and 80

#

only 100?

#

Which is weird since it hits 50 on maps that usually worked perfectly fine

#

Well I have it capped since my monitor isn't 144hz (yet)

I'm capped at 188

@subtle hawk what budget

@subtle hawk I have a true relic micro SD

a 64 MB one

#

and no that's not a typo

#

~~are you sure it's not MMC~~

#

@subtle hawk not quite, unless you want lots of cooling

#

going for very cheap and small cases will limit your cooling options

#

you just need to make sure your motherboard fits in it

#

also cable management

#

and ease of installation

#

yeah

#

I would say 50-70$ for a case is reasonable

#

unless you want fancy features

#

like radiator mounts

#

RGB

#

tempered glass

#

USB C

#

mine is like $30 laffeyDrink

but it's hard to install and cable management

I'm adjusting for VAT

20%

#

ah

#

VAT here is 7%

#

the best cases so far that I've worked with are server rack chassis

shouldn't it be reversed though? thinkZed

subtle hawk May 30, 2019, 6:02 PM

don't forget to change the current active drive to your target flash drive before running that command though

I've seen attrib -s -h -r /s /d

subtle hawk May 30, 2019, 6:02 PM

#

hm yeah I might remember the switches wrong

#

don't feel like booting up my pc to confirm it right now

#

I keep confusing because most DOS programs use / for option switches

#

yeah, yours is correct

#

because it will recursively remove system, hidden and read only flags

#

/s and /d are options

pulsar saddle May 30, 2019, 6:07 PM

#

yeah, and iirc you can pass the target directory as an argument

subtle hawk May 30, 2019, 6:07 PM

like H:\ ?

#

forgot Discord uses backslashes for escaping

subtle hawk May 30, 2019, 6:08 PM

I forgot that I use Japanese locale so all \ are rendered as ¥

I like posix paths more laffeyDrink

tried watching the 1st episode of Gridman without ad block

I had zero idea what the fuck happened in the episode do to all of the god damn ads

subtle hawk May 31, 2019, 5:29 AM

#

oh that thing

#

wel that's just pihole built into a router ROM

#

since all DNS blockers use the same principle

#

Close enough to it anyway

#

set up a non authoritative server and fetch the ad lists

#

then implement the blocks

#

Jup

#

Honestly tho my only contact with pihole itself has been telling people off that leave it open to the internet for some reason (either running on a server with a public ip or port forwarding)

#

that's their own problem

#

but yeah

#

DNS inflation attacks every time

#

I have my own custom DNS server too but I only use ad lists on the wireless VLAN

#

but mostly that DNS server is for me to tamper with authoritative records

#

Only time I've set up a proper DNS server is when I've messed around with AD... And that doesn't really count for me since windows sets everything up for you, practically

nah this was manual

if you plug it in and windows update can't find the drivers on its own tho...

I wouldn't risk using a leaf blower on a PC

compressed air is risky enough

but keyboard? not a bad idea

I discharge everything properly and hold the fans when I can so as not to run the bearings lol

Canned air on the other hand blows

I've determined that mpv is the best solution for playing youtube music

#

mpv "<playlist-url>" --no-video

#

so much less memory / CPU utilization than having a youtube tab open

#

VLC is reee tho

#

can't render modern subtitles correctly
artifacts up the walls

#

still for something like music I guess it works

#

the main thing I use mpv for is watching anime

#

so those two things are my priorities in a player

#

I'm using plex for my media consumption

subtle hawk May 31, 2019, 10:23 PM

#

too much resource utilization for me. If I watched on devices with weak decoding hardware frequently tho I'd certainly use it

#

plex is a godsend for smartTVs

subtle hawk Jun 1, 2019, 5:29 AM

#

do you guys here know any reason why my monitor can't decode my dtv receiver's audio for some reason

#

Never used anything but a TV with a dtv receiver before... Any particular reason you're using a monitor?

#

my tv (which is actually a dorm's tv) has 1280x1024 display

#

so everything is stretched

#

I see. Pretty sure you can force an aspect ratio on either the TV or the box that will fix that

#

nope, my tv only have letterbox for 4:3

#

for 16:9, it's just full screen stretch

#

but my receiver does have letterbox

well Huawei has virtually zero chance because its Huawei

#

not because its a foreign company

subtle hawk Jun 1, 2019, 5:40 PM

#

I was saying to begin with

#

But yes Huawei has an even worse chance with the paranoia being riled against them

#

(which may or may not be founded)

#

it's not

#

all that paranoia is just propaganda

#

this trade "cold" war is getting ridiculous

#

A lot of the paranoia was around long before this trade war got ugly

#

Though it was mostly confined to the intelligence and IT communities

#

I've abandoned the idea of privacy with the dawn of the new internet era

#

a small sacrifice

#

if you ask me

#

I'm still pro-privacy, but I'm more worried about the filter bubble than ad tracking

#

I mean no privacy is bad

#

but expecting to be a complete ghost is something that's also ridiculous

#

I don't think anyone expects that unless they know nothing about how the internet works

We just all have different levels of what inconvenience we will accept for improved privacy

#

Huawei has had a shady history of IP theft, sanction violations, and their products come with real Espionage and security concerns

#

hell there's even allegations of them working with the fucking Taliban

#

If the CCP can ban any western corporation at the drop of hat for "being a threat to cultural stability of China"
I don't see what is wrong with the US banning a corporation that's a actual national security concern

subtle hawk Jun 1, 2019, 6:46 PM

#

the IP theft is part of their history yes, no deying that

#

but the whole espionage thing isn't something only they do

#

you can p much point the finger at any major corporation and sure enough they do it

either for corporate reasons

#

or because of national security

now to go to the topic at hand

stable sonnet Jun 1, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

Huawei ban

subtle hawk Jun 1, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

Huawei is focusing on telecommunications gear

#

their mobile market is not that big compared to that

#

Yep

#

they supply the hardware for a lot of countries

#

for example my country 80% of its telecommunications gear is from Huawei

#

5G is the main thing that would be affected by this ban tbh

#

be it relay towers, distribution nodes, trancievers, modems, etc

#

yeah

#

Most other technologies have at least other vendors to turn to. 5G doesn't have many alternatives outside Huawei

#

the race for 5G is very fierce

#

well for now

#

quallcom and intel should have their stuff ready soonish

#

does 5g even matter

#

what exactly is it anyways

#

but again they only provide the chips

#

it's up to manufacturers like netgear and the like to create sollutions

#

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G

5G

5G is generally seen as the fifth generation cellular network technology that provides broadband access. The industry association 3GPP defines any system using "5G NR" (5G New Radio) software as "5G", a definition that came into general use by late 2018. Others may reserve th...

#

so its like

#

4g

#

but better

#

Yes, more or less

#

Next generation of cellular networks

#

Speaking of I'm surprised AT&T is getting away with their deceptive "5GE" marketing smokescreen

#

That just smells of a lawsuit to me

#

this entire trade war I would dub is as The 5G War

stable sonnet Jun 1, 2019, 6:59 PM

#

honestly if really want to touch the trade war

#

it goes beyond just the tech field

subtle hawk Jun 1, 2019, 6:59 PM

#

Sure, but the tech field is probably the most visibly affected

#

Fabs are cheap in China, and a lot of critical IP comes from the US

#

Neither one can do great without the other

#

^ so much this

#

you can have the blueprint but you'll never be able to make something without factories

subtle hawk Jun 1, 2019, 7:01 PM

#

you can have the factories but you'll never be able to make something without the blueprint

stable sonnet Jun 1, 2019, 7:04 PM

#

I would probably phase my stance on the trade war as, there are very valid reasons for it, ranging from Chinese subsidies on shipping, to forced technology transfers, but I completely disagree with how the US is handling it and the stated reasons for the US aka the trade deficit

subtle hawk Jun 1, 2019, 7:05 PM

#

Sure, neither side has been playing fair for a while. What do you expect from non-alied counties trading?

#

exactly

stable sonnet Jun 1, 2019, 7:06 PM

#

I mean

#

the main reason Chinese companies can basically sell their goods practically anywhere for dirt cheap prices

#

is because it costs them basically nothing to ship them almost anywhere

#

since the Chinese government subsidies their shipping costs

subtle hawk Jun 1, 2019, 7:07 PM

#

it's more like chinese companies make money by having a low profit margin

#

but have insane quantity of sold products

#

unlike US where it's the opposite

stable sonnet Jun 1, 2019, 7:08 PM

#

they can produce at a insane quantity and basically ship that insane quantity of goods anywhere for almost no additional costs

subtle hawk Jun 1, 2019, 7:08 PM

#

subtle hawk Jun 1, 2019, 7:09 PM

I would say 300-350$ aprox?

#

with a retail price of over 1000$

#

Apple's business model is to basically sell everything at a insane mark up

subtle hawk Jun 1, 2019, 7:10 PM

subtle hawk Jun 1, 2019, 7:12 PM

#

which exec was it that said "Customers don't know what they want, so you need to tell them what they want"?

#

it was some apple suit but I don't remember which one

#

basically sums up apple's marketing model completely

stable sonnet Jun 1, 2019, 7:14 PM

#

but yeah main reason why Chinese companies can export these large amount of cheap goods and keep them at a fairly cheap cost is that most Chinese companies have their shipping costs subsidized

subtle hawk Jun 1, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

I'd say its the cheap labor as much as the subsidies

stable sonnet Jun 1, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

I mean

#

the subsidies play a really major part

#

shipping large amounts of goods tends to be a very expensive process

#

and if you need to pay barely anything for shipping you're cutting the price you need to charge to make profit by a large margin

subtle hawk Jun 1, 2019, 7:34 PM

#

sure but that money for the subsidies has to come from somewhere

it says QR Scanner Pro in the app, lol, not Code, so I got a bit confused but yeah, that's the one

#

oh, it's not free, i must have got it when it was free though

#

honestly it's pretty weird that all android phones don't come with a builtin qr decoder in the camera app

severe falcon Jun 9, 2019, 11:49 PM

#

@zinc meadow but does it automatically go to whatever the code says or is it just a smol pop up at the edge of the screen?

zinc meadow Jun 9, 2019, 11:52 PM

#

it opens a screen where you can either copy the url to clipboard or open in browser

#

i dunno if i would pay for it though

#

there's a free version if you take off the .pro in the url but i have no idea how obnoxious the ads are then

#

oh yeah, if your camera app has Google Lens that also recognizes qr codes

speaking of qr codes, how does it "read" it? i know how the data is formatted into the pixels, but what exactly figures out that what its looking at is a qr code?

probably some fourier transforms and convolutions are involved

Bruh i havent seen higher than 30 Mbps and our service is 100 Mbps

And we legally cant do anything about it

And this is the same isp that provides 1 Gbps for the businesses in the city, so they def have the capacity to give us actual service

anyway, who here goes back to personal programs youve made and given it "bad" inputs and accidently discovered it somehow works?

#

cuz my random noise image maker assumes the input is a power of 2, so i gave it something else and it did weird stuff but still worked

#

also my work comp: intel i3 dual core at 3.3ghz and 4gb of ram somehow runs my python programs significantly faster than my home comp: amd 6 core 3.5 ghz and 12 gb of ram

i mean from what i heard, our old one was made by the outsourced IT guy we have

it has this folder, where you put the pdfs in and it automatically gets added to the proper area of the database, meanwhile i had to write a script to automatically put the new pdfs in the new database

it's called a watch folder

I use those lots of the time

severe falcon Jun 12, 2019, 4:32 AM

one takes one min of my time, the other takes about 45 mins of my comp having to run the script for 100+ pdfs

#

and either the program or windows itself eats any special key inputs like [enter] or [tab] so half the time is just the mouse moving to click

#

also i found a training manual for the new database and they forgot to include anything to help people in my position out
OR they never included any of that stuff in the actual thing

this work field will kill me

#

can only do maintenance during morning (1am-5am )

#

then u straight duty afterwards

dang

subtle hawk Jun 12, 2019, 4:49 PM

#

my pc

📎 unknown.png

#

so yeah as I expected since my laptop has gen 7 i7

#

i7-7500U to be precise

#

but the numbers are not that relevant though since it was run in different python version and os

#

i have discovered rainfall

#

i also just figured out how to make it show up better and BOI

#

should see my fractal code in C

#

that's how to make snowflakes

severe falcon Jun 12, 2019, 5:14 PM

#

yeah that sounds awesome

#

but this is literally just awfully simulated nature and it did THAT

subtle hawk Jun 12, 2019, 5:17 PM

#

this is that fractal

📎 koch_snowflake.png

#

depending now how many cycles you let it run for you get a more detailed snowflake

#

yeah, koch's snowflake is how you model fractal mountains

#

beautiful little thing

#

also that benchmark related https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/500102597521178644/588405664154386543/chbo26ighw331.jpg

I just now noticed

#

in latest windows

#

well the terrain generation i use is basically a non self similar fractal

#

also i need a little optimization help

#

cuz the rainfall algorithm is recursive but i can make it run faster if i save the paths that have already been found

#

but i have no idea how to make that happen

#

well i know how to do this with pointers in C, is there a way to do "pointers" with python?

subtle hawk Jun 12, 2019, 5:52 PM

#

no

severe falcon Jun 12, 2019, 5:54 PM

#

well this is what the "list" would be like

📎 unknown.png

subtle hawk Jun 12, 2019, 5:54 PM

#

looks like a binary tree

severe falcon Jun 12, 2019, 5:54 PM

#

kindof but there could be up to 8 nodes going to a single one

#

and there are multiple trees, but i wont know how many

#

like that fractally blue pic i sent, the brightness of the pixel is directly related to the number of nodes above it in the tree (except the data for the tree doesnt actually exist in my program)

context: single-threaded program

#

gimme that program

#

lemme run it

severe falcon Jun 12, 2019, 5:59 PM

#

i was thinking of a list of lists of different sizes, but the fact that multiple nodes can [word for reverse branch] to one node means that wouldnt work

subtle hawk Jun 12, 2019, 6:00 PM

#

then execute this in the program

demo
load benchmark
run

severe falcon Jun 12, 2019, 6:00 PM

#

its also 65,536 nodes so help

subtle hawk Jun 12, 2019, 6:01 PM

#

also my pc's ryzen 7 2700 is run at stock clock

#

but that's only like 300mhz below my laptop's turbo clock

#

@subtle hawk u need to press Z to start it?

#

yes

#

#

Thonking

#

press z on each menu

severe falcon Jun 12, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

literally O(1)

#

that reminds me of the sigmoid function i discovered for neural networks

subtle hawk Jun 12, 2019, 6:05 PM

#

https://hackerman.cybersnets.com/xodnj.png

#

there

#

lol

#

the CPU didn't even sneeze

#

and latest dev build is a lot faster

#

if this benchmark is single threaded

#

then it explains why I'm destroying the scores

severe falcon Jun 12, 2019, 6:07 PM

#

look at this beautiful sigmoid function

📎 unknown.png

subtle hawk Jun 12, 2019, 6:07 PM

#

because the CPU is OCed to 5.5

#

oh lol

#

hm so amd is still behind intel on single thread performance

severe falcon Jun 12, 2019, 6:08 PM

#

is single thread core based or hyperthread based?

#

cuz that might explain why my work comp is working faster, its hyperthreaded and my desktop isnt

subtle hawk Jun 12, 2019, 6:10 PM

#

all of my tests I run are on HT

#

I should put a windows server image on my main server

#

so that I can flex with having to scroll through the cores

severe falcon Jun 12, 2019, 6:11 PM

#

i can scroll thru cores if i zoom in like 16x

subtle hawk Jun 12, 2019, 6:12 PM

#

https://hackerman.cybersnets.com/3ru7g.png

#

I can probably get this down to under 4 seconds

#

if I remove a lot of the PCIe devices

severe falcon Jun 12, 2019, 6:13 PM

#

so do either of you know of any kind of algorithm that uses upsidedown trees?
