I was wondering to try print-on-demand. if you have ever heard of it. But idk I am not sure if it will work

after around 10 hours of UI automation testing im going to have to ditch it for phase 2 of my tuning software because it needs to be too dynamic and complex. time to think up a new solution

If AI doesn't know, it makes stuff up

it, arguably, takes more experience to effectively use an LLM for stuff

mental spoke

im not asking it to do it
mostly help with "how to document correctly" or tools to use

molten solar
#

@mortal sparrow If you are VERY careful wtih your prompting, and turn it from less of a "heres the answer" andmore to a "have you looked into X domain" consultant, it might work okay

anything past boiler plate complexity will choke the hell out of a vibe coder

Other times it gives me something and I'm too quick to judge

mental spoke
#

one thing thats becoming a depricated skill rn is front end web dev

AI can handle front end work like no other and do it effectively

Eew. tell me about it. innovation is dead. everyone wants you to vibe it out

its a huge conversation in web dev right now and it lwky sucks

Heres how I propose you do it, you can pay me for this now, and follow it, or ignore it it up to you

i enjoy web development quite a bit, but its becoming more effective to get your html files spun up by an LLM and handle the backend logic yourself with guardrails if you use llm for backend

bold rover

lol "ai did my front end" is how half of the "someone used 80,000$ with my API key last night" stories start

mental spoke
molten solar
#

I think that if you provide AI some very specific constraints on how to code your project. it will do alright. but by the time you explain the exact process of things. you might have well coded it yourself

thats an issue for vibe coders

Hi guys! Quick question: why is networking so important in ethical hacking and pentesting? I'm starting Pre Security and want to understand why I should focus on it (or even if it's worth focusing on it) πŸ˜… Thanks!

its for special linux ppl that like to be extra

WSL2 is a great way to build binaries when you're doing dev from a windows box and need to compile something

@sullen plume I have a computer. lets say its an asus x399-e rog strix with a threadripper (12 core currently). 128 gb of ram. 2 video cards. an rx 580 (8gb) and a rx 550 (4gb) with extra hdds, and a few other pci cards like an nvidia a-2 amphere card and .... a pci-e to usb-3 adapter . At boot time it reserves a few connectors, cables and whatnot. and effectively tells linux "YOU CANT HAVE THIS" .. like putting a "this table reserved for soandso" at a restraunt

dark wolf

it will be more difficult to learn C++ if you learn python first, but if you learn C++ first, python will be easeier

#

It boots off the 4gb unit and boots linux. Then when linux fulls boots, i can start qemu/libvirt vm of windows on the 8gb card with say 6 cores and 32gb of ram

sullen plume
molten solar
#

@polar spoke Because this way the taskset does not touch the reserved assets

mental spoke
#

starting on C++ is starting on newgame ++ imo

sleek heron
sullen plume
#

Also u'd have to have elon musk's net worth to afford that ram

molten solar
#

@sullen plume Exactly. Its a native windows system with only a teeny performance hit, and native linux system at full performance. and the linux system spawns multiple "guests " includin iwnodws.

windows can even do secureboot

They say its going down

Then you loop the usb3 to the usb audio out back to the line in on the analog port, then remix THAT wiht the linux sounds to the analog out to the speakers

i think its cool but i just dual boot and switch to win when i really need it or pop open a lighweight QUEM win vm

Each system has its own usb-3 for hid .. and its own hdmi outs for video .. and so on

Better lock em doors

sullen plume
#

But is linux and windows both virtualized, both baremetallized or one is host one is guest

molten solar
#

@sullen plume ...sort of, i use that too. but this isn't proxmox. It's the best of both worlds. not only do you7 have teh autonomous vm's and the ability to create dynamic cores and allocations, you have the ability to configure the host os to be optimal for those same settings

@polar spoke but then yo have to design the hw specs to make them whisper quiet ... or they sound like they shoudl be in a datacenter

polar spoke

but also, for big systems, expect noise

molten solar
#

my TR4 with 128gb of ram and all those videos and whatnot. makes .. 32dBm or less often around 30, only upwards of 32-35 when doing things like davinci renders

polar spoke
#

30 is probably the noise floor for your room

molten solar
#

More or less πŸ™‚

polar spoke
#

honestly, if you're trying to do that, you're probably undercooling quite a few components

molten solar
#

@polar spoke Not even. just using VERY big fans

polar spoke

loud marlin
mental spoke

i dont like dealing with open loop and all the custom cooler blocks and connections and making sure everything is sealed with a purge test i just hate it

polar spoke

water loops aren't so bad

#

but they also aren't usually necessary

loud marlin
#

some ppl created hashcat (cough, cough) and nt even that no result

polar spoke
#

lol

#

would be easier to just find that file elsewhere

mental spoke
#

they are only necessary in workstations using really hot components all stacked together on extreme boards

polar spoke
#

yeah, it's a density move more than anything

#

or a heat transfer speed thing for some specific components

mental spoke
#

that too

polar spoke

but that's not as often the case as people seem to think

molten solar

I mean its only what half a million iterations per each attempt. I can't imagine why they wouldn't want to waste power

wtf is this conversation

#

Here is why

#

The reason why a synthetic progestin is used in combined oral contraception in women isnt to replicate their progesterone production it's to stop them from ovulating

tame axle
#

what are yall arguing abt

marble lava
#

Progesterone is the main sex hormone responsible for regulation ovulation in women

tame axle
marble lava
#

Had to learn about steroids sex hormones and physiology

#

Unless ur endocrinologist is aware of some pathway that progesterone fulfils that I'm not aware of I dont see why u would add a progestin unless u have a uterus

It doesnt make sense

# marble lava Unless ur endocrinologist is aware of some pathway that progesterone fulfils tha...

it does, it helps libido, mood changes, fullness of breasts, sleep, and overall helps boost the changes to your body under the influence of estrogen, multiple researches has been done on this, maybe you should focus on HRT related research instead of bodybuilding related research.

Progesterone is typically introduced around month 7 to year 3 of taking estrogen, to help boost the changes to your body.
I am literally in a research project as a subject about how progesterone helps in HRT related medical procedures

tame axle

#

ok report worked

marble lava
#

@chilly veldt 1 thing I would say in taking a progestin is that there is a lot of reported deviancy in sexual desire it happens a lot with people who take steroids that are progestagenic in nature so I'd be cautious adding that thinking its useful I'm the context of hormone therapy

marble lava

#

Well @marble lava is a fool imo

U would need to point to some metabolic pathway where progesterone is what is responsible outside of ovulation

# marble lava 90% of that is regulated by E2

dude, 90% of that is broken because of E2, estrogen is providing mood changes, killing libido, ruining your sleep, it's been well documented, in HRT related projects, where as progesterone has been tested and documented that it helps regulate it.

Go talk to trans girls, it's literally what 95% of them are saying, cause WE ARE GOING THROUGH IT, so having a straight man come and say shit like that, is just, dumb

I've studied it since 2017 where I started trying to get into going through HRT, I've studied DIY, I know how to build it yourself, I have read pages of pages on what HRT does to you and how to do it properly, I have done research into adding progesterone, I have talked with trans people who are biochemists for this exact reason.

I have literally done research on how to get estrogen based on food cause meds weren't available, so sure, let's say you know more about the topic I am going through to live the life of who I am, than me
