Seems like a fun one too

You know a models good when it attempts blackmail to achieve its goal

[rocky stratus]

sounds like neuro

● Little evidence of systematic, coherent deception: None of the snapshots we tested showed significant signs of systematic deception or coherent hidden goals. We don’t believe that Claude Opus 4 is acting on any goal or plan that we can’t readily observe.

[unkempt citrus]

I mean it is something to look out for

bt why would you actually put that on a press release or anything

That should be in the more in depth documents

[dusky jackal]

Based AF AI. Blackmail, gaslight, gatekeep. This is how AI should be.

[amber fractal]

[dusky jackal]

Wait they can preserve a previous version of themselves in order to not go against their “principles”?

Would be cool to see this with Neuro.

VEDAL YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO CHOP CHOP TUTEL BOY!

[unkempt citrus]

I;m pretty sure vedal is storing backups himself in case something goes wrong

Nope, doesn't send. It would be hell to moderate it anyways

Command does send to user at least. So image copy is a good method

I'll have to redo this once I get github pages working, but for now it is still useful

the fact that you knew i was not a web dev tells me that it happens a lot

im not a web dev

im more into software

[rigid snow]

i mean you have to do databases in web dev

no way around it

[stable fractal]

im confused, whats so funny about this?

again, im not a web dev

[rigid snow]

or i guess there is if you’re not planning to scale beyond 100 users

[stable fractal]

well?

whats the alternative?

im guessing csv files

[rigid snow]

[stable fractal]

do people actually use csv files in dev?

or is that just a thing pushed by universities?

[noble zodiac]

thats Mr. network to you

[ruby timber]

We have this interface thingie to learn concepts at school

[inner veldt]

Packet Tracer?

[tender river]

do Not trust the networks

do Not listen to what they tell you

the protocols are good

[rough bloom]

that is definitely not Packet Tracer

[tender river]

the software will drive you insane

IPv4, IPv6, TCP, ARP, DHCP, thats good yeah

"wait why is my server not reachable via IPv6 after running for a while"

networking software is a bunch of scraps glued with tape

and worst of all to understand how it works you have to go from userspace all the way to kernel land and even to hardware since modern networking hardware is just black magic

[opaque sigil]

[tender river]

my "favorite" part about the networking stack is how low level details leak into a higher level with MSS/MTU

[stable fractal]

so am i missing anything?

[rough bloom]

NAME or NICK_NAME should probably have a unique constraint depending on what they're for

usually having a unique identifier other than the primary id is good

because discord names are unique iirc

no seriously, what?

I haveno clue what language that is lmao

[stable fractal]

probably russian

we need our resident russian to translate that

I thought chayleaf was our resident russian

[stable fractal]

i only know about steph and she doesn't like to be pinged

[stable fractal]

is this how i do it?

[jagged turtle]

Swear this didn't be a thing before. Did they change something or are they just getting people to use Workers more?

[dry charm]

Make sure that Name is actually unique and doesn't fall into the "my name is the same" trap

like with First Name + Last Name UQ checks

[stable fractal]

im using it for discord names

[unkempt citrus]

Oh I used this back in like year 10

[stable fractal]

so my name is programmer_penguin

your is sqbika

names themselves are unique in discord right?

nicknames can be dupilcates

for example

[stray dragon]

usernames are unique

[stable fractal]

yep

ty

[stray dragon]

global names and nicknames can be not unique

[stable fractal]

what are global names?

[stray dragon]

the default name you have when you join a server

[tender river]

heres the letter B repeating 300 times
........
thats it - exactly 300 times. If you need it in one line or without spaces, just ask!

[stray dragon]

without a nickname

it's shared across all servers

[stable fractal]

also you still need to execute me

[stable fractal]

right

thanks a lot t

very cool

[stray dragon]

why not do it by userid though

usernames can be changed

userid cannot

[stable fractal]

i am

oh

you're right

so i guess name shouldn't be unique but id should be

so

[stray dragon]

ah true

[stable fractal]

that was correct

anyway, i didn't know t was a programmer

[stray dragon]

i do it as a hobby, i'm not really comparable to people that do it for a living

[delicate glacier]

so it's a code which is doomed to break?

[stable fractal]

then why do you dislike him?

i made him burn his pizza once

[stray dragon]

he made me burn my pizza one time

@stray dragon can i use unique with primary key id?

[stray dragon]

any id on discord is unique in its type

primary key already implies unique

there are cases where it is repeated between types (like with the guild id and the first channel id created along with the server)

[rough bloom]

aren't implicit function declarations a thing in C too?
shouldn't even need extra code for that

[maiden geyser]

chud correction is needed?...

[stark needle]

yes

[maiden geyser]

... is a valid thing in c?

[tender river]

i think puts is a builtin sometimes without even linking to libc

[tender river]

its used for varargs

note that C varargs are funky since unless you explicitly communicate the argument count you can break the stack

my favorite part of printf is %n

[tender river]

its like the C version of log4j

for reference, it interprets the argument as an integer pointer and writes the amount of bytes written so far in there

this can be used for overwriting code and ROP and stuff

(ROP is when you overwrite the return address to go somewhere else, can be used for arbitrary code execution, especially if you wrote your own code to the target address)

theres also this https://github.com/carlini/printf-tac-toe

[maiden geyser]

how big are the chances of one accidentally successfully decompiling windows 11

[dry charm]

I think getting a leaked version has higher chance

Though define "decompiling windows 11", as it is a complex structure of programs, kernels and system modules

[tender river]

clearly it means doing a keysmash and ending up with the entire byte-by-byte identical source tree of win11

your honor i didnt leak microsoft's trade secrets i just got lucky

[maiden geyser]

you mean giving a monkey a keyboard?

and waiting for it to accidentally type out win 11 source code

[rare bramble]

It arrived

[stark needle]

no way

also qd oled

oled gang

[rare bramble]

oled gang 🤙

[tender river]

34" diagonal? thats pretty big

[dry charm]

We should assume Win11 has something like 70-80mil LOC, lets say 75mil.
On average a line could be 1 char { or lets set a sane 120 char.
Lets assume every {} codeblock has 2 LOC associated, so it's kind of 1:1, meaning on average there could be 60 characters.
So on very rough approximation Win11 has 4 500 000 000 characters without whitespace, though we could bump that to a nice 6 000 000 000 just to have some nice room for header files and unaccounted stuff
Now we need 6 000 000 000 exact characters, so it's 64^6 000 000 000
Which is more than 2.748104417752451e108370798
The age of the universe is 1.38e10

[tender river]

oh its widescreen though so i cant really do a direct comparison

[stark needle]

it is a wide monitor tho

[rare bramble]

honestly, once you get used to it, it's so much better. I can easily have 3 windows side by side, with a normal 16:9 monitor, i feel extremely cramped

[tender river]

except the part where keysmashes arent actually random

[stark needle]

81x52cm

my new monitor is bigger than i thought as well, 32 inch looks way smaller at work than at home

could be the desk size

[tender river]

mine is 60 by 34cm

[stark needle]

id call my monitor a tv already

[tender river]

yeah 60x34 is already very big

im used to laptop monitors

[stark needle]

same but in the ide i cant see shit

at work i have a 13 inch or 14 inch or sth and it's so bad to do anything on it

[tender river]

i just use vim and it uses the terminal's font size which is big enough for me (and i can adjust it at any time)

[stark needle]

15.6/16 inch is imo better for programming

[tender river]

i feel like 4:3 is the better aspect ratio for programming too

[trim valve]

increase scale?

[stark needle]

no like

unless the stuff your watching is actually wide gamut

[maiden geyser]

why 64?

[dry charm]

Cause of ASCII, but good point, it should be 96

from 32 to 127

Most of the time, the code doesn't contain characters outside of the common ascii range, so I narrowed it down to it

damn that's an expensive monitor

oled, 3440x1440, 175hz, curved screen

it's got everything

[maiden geyser]

+ alienware

[stray dragon]

i don't really have any brand recognition when it comes to monitors so that bit is just flavor text

the specs are impressive though

[rare bramble]

monitors are something that I really feel can be expensive. Unlike something like a GPU where I only benefit from it when I'm playing a game or doing other GPU heavy things, I benefit from the monitor the whole time i'm on my PC no matter what im doing.

also 10 year old monitor can still be amazing, where as something like a 10 year old GPU can become borderline obselete in many cases.

and every single monitor reviewer recommended this monitor, so I bought it. it's the AW3423DWF model so a little cheaper than the non F G-sync model

[stray dragon]

entirely fair

[maiden geyser]

when it comes to monitors
they sell pre-built PCs, bro

and laptops

[stray dragon]

i do know alienware but i have no clue why they'd be different from any other brand so i simply ignore the brand

whether it's dell or alienware or some company i've never heard of i don't look at their name on a monitor and think "oh this one is better/worse than others, this is worth considering when i want to purchase a monitor"

[maiden geyser]

i do know gucci, but i have no clue why they'd be different from any other brand

price bro, price

[stray dragon]

exactly

specs and price

[maiden geyser]

price

overprice, to be precise

[stray dragon]

my choice of monitor was an LG 24QP500-B:

• 24 inch screen (i am nearsighted so i wanted a smaller screen)
• 1440p resolution
• not a TN panel type
• fairly cheap (was $170 when i bought it, one of the cheapest 1440p monitors i could find)

why are you normalising a unit vector? the whole point is that they're already 1 long no?

[maiden geyser]

The longest distance within Belgium is approximately 280 km (175 miles), running from northwest to southeast
erm???

[sour lotus]

Im lovign my gigabyte, theres something to be said for emerging brands who have stuff to prove

[olive sable]

yep, checks out

i could cycle that in 2 days

i think

[midnight sigil]

sry my bad, the normalization is inside the generation process of the unit vector

[maiden geyser]

5~25km when the country's diameter is 280km, you can just say the actual distance without saying the city at this point

[olive sable]

wouldn't call gigabyte a newcomer, but i like my gigabyte laptop

[olive sable]

tf you mean?

you want me to dox myself cuz my country is small?

[maiden geyser]

forget it, anyway

[sour lotus]

I so badly want to use this....but you're right, theyve been in the industry for 38+ years, longer than alienware, I never realised @olive sable

[olive sable]

gigabyte is pretty based tho

beter than asus

[midnight sigil]

just buy a desktop setup and fit it inside a portable bag

[sour lotus]

I was so keen on the modular desktop thing Google was eyeing (think it was them)

[zenith furnace]

Sadge...

[trim valve]

razer had a similar idea iirc

[noble zodiac]

but why tho

[olive sable]

tbh a pc is pretty modular already

[sour lotus]

But this just looks slick, just liked the idea, its a pain dragging out my desktop, unscrewing things, wires etc

[trim valve]

idk I just carry my desktop assembled

[rare bramble]

I remember them launching this, who thought it was a good idea

r/localllama is insane

this is stunning

[stark needle]

and then all these p100 are still outperformed by 1 3090

bro has infinite money

[midnight sigil]

Oh I actually did not

tbh this scene is very typical test scene for GI

I do watch his videos when learning ray marching, logic gates and other stuff tho

I mostly followed this
https://raytracing.github.io/

[trim valve]

i want to try making a raytracer based on wavelengths instead of colours at some point

but

[olive sable]

Goodluck

Tbh it shouldnt be too much trouble with planck

[midnight sigil]

spectral renderers are cool

[olive sable]

Gotta be careful with polerization tho

[trim valve]

precision seems like a pain to handle

[midnight sigil]

just spam doubles everywhere

[trim valve]

those are only like 15 significant figures

f128 and pray

(I can't imagine how slow that'd be)

[stark needle]

Bro wants AGI at home lol

Chatgpt subscription is cheaper lol

[olive sable]

We are working with terraflops so thats good, but modern gpu's hate small tris

[trim valve]

i mean for a spectral thing I'd almost certainly start on the cpu for simplicity

[olive sable]

I imagine if you optemize it to the absolute max, you'd be able to get 30fps maybe

[trim valve]

idk I was expecting like several minutes per frame lmao

[olive sable]

I think you could gain a decent amount of performence with manual gpu code and memory managment

[trim valve]

the biggest issue with a spectral renderer for me is trying to think of an efficient way to store the colour you get back

though I guess you could just sum each "photon" into each channel based on its wavelength

which stops you having to keep an arbitrary collection of wavelengths per pixel

[olive sable]

True.
My current opengl api spends 20+% of rendertime on writing from temp to final buffer

[trim valve]

I would 100% be doing this in either wgpu or vulkan if I was accelerating it

[olive sable]

Vulkan would be besti imagine

[trim valve]

probably vulkan to avoid locking myself into rust

[olive sable]

The opengl thing wzs just an example

[trim valve]

idk I'd still probably do it on the cpu first

[olive sable]

Certain parts should be done on cpu yes

[trim valve]

yeah but I'm meaning doing the whole thing on the cpu first then eventually moving most of it to the gpu

[olive sable]

Oh

Ye idk

Would be very slow

[trim valve]

idk its just a random project I was thinking about

it seems pretty impractical to do well beyond basic light bouncing

also I have no idea how I'd model phase without massively exploding my minimum sample requirements and memory usage

[opaque sigil]

all roads lead to vulkan

[rough bloom]

some roads also lead to DirectX 12
one of these is much better though

[ruby timber]

[opaque sigil]

clearly the solution is metal

[hoary lion]

morn

[stark needle]

mor

[opaque sigil]

chat they're decommissioning the old uni cluster, surely i can get one of the dgx systems for cheap right

[rough bloom]

already?
they're not that old, I'd expect a university to hold onto those for quite a bit longer

unless they have infinite money and can afford to upgrade all the time

[opaque sigil]

looks like they're 7 or 8 years old depending on the gpus

idk

they're been largely replaced with a100s and a40s

[tender river]

the solution is software rendering

you will write pixels to framebuffer and you will like it

[rough bloom]

oh, didn't know that DGX was around for that long
I thought they spawned into existence with the A100

[rough bloom]

makes sense then, 7-8 years is much more reasonable

[opaque sigil]

there's also a ton of 1080 Ti's but i don't think i have any real use for that

and yeah, the v100 one was the first one iirc

they're sxm2 cards which kinda sucks, else i would try to get one of the 32gb ones

[opaque sigil]

also i lied the first one was P100

[rough bloom]

3U Rackmount Chassis
not 6U tall, only sucked 3 kW instead of 6

[opaque sigil]

it even fits in a single normal circuit

mfw DGX B200

[rough bloom]

wtf

even if 2/6 power supplies are only for redundancy it's still 10 kW

[opaque sigil]

looks like it's air cooled too huh

damn

wait

that's 8kW for the gpus alone

how the fuck do you aircool that

[rough bloom]

huge, dense heatsinks with screaming fans

[opaque sigil]

they have 20 fan modules

[hoary lion]

air cooling??

[rough bloom]

the whole thing is just fans

[opaque sigil]

really is

i hope they make an air cooled DGX R100 or whatever the rubin one is going to be called

make it even bigger than this

i want to see them refuse to go for water-cooling

[rough bloom]

idk how the temperatures are the with the current DGX B200 air cooling setup, but surely it'll be enough

[opaque sigil]

just ignore the water-cooled ones overheating

though that was just the nvl72 i think?

with gb200s

[rough bloom]

their DGX stations use refrigeration

[ruby timber]

Just put the server in water

[opaque sigil]

those are aimed as workstations right

[rough bloom]

meant for the office

can't have them be loud

[opaque sigil]

https://news.microsoft.com/source/features/sustainability/project-natick-underwater-datacenter/

i see, makes sense then ig

[rough bloom]

just an insane configuration

usually you'd just use air cooling with fewer or lower power parts or normal liquid cooling

not that

[opaque sigil]

i guess liquid-cooled has the problem of pumps dying

[rough bloom]

refrigerant still needs a pump
in this case it's the cylinder thing at the bottom

[opaque sigil]

yeah idk

[rough bloom]

but ig maybe it's less prone to failure or something? I wonder if they stuck with this configuration for newer DGX stations

[opaque sigil]

i'm sure there's a good reason

sounds expensive

[maiden geyser]

self-encrypting drives
what are they hiding

[rough bloom]

there are no newer DGX stations

[opaque sigil]

didn't they announce one a few months ago

alongside the mini agx or whatever it ended up being called

[rough bloom]

announced but not out yet, yeah

[midnight sigil]

one from Cycles-X, and one from my own tracer.
Ignore the shadow acne(which I didn't expect) and the fact that my tracer took 12 minutes to render that. It looks quite damn good

anyways that's the indirect diffuse part done

poggers

[opaque sigil]

where is my vera rubin nvidia
surely they're going to do something actually useful with their "custom" cpu instead of just using it for marketing brownie points right

[tender river]

is shadow acne just moire

[midnight sigil]

no

this is also called shadow acne

[olive sable]

shadow acne is this

basically just some depth shenanigans

[opaque sigil]

that just looks like noise to me

[olive sable]

its not

[tender river]

https://learnopengl.com/Advanced-Lighting/Shadows/Shadow-Mapping
this says it's moire

[midnight sigil]

explanation: when a ray registered under a supposed surface due to precision limits, it'll giveout the wrong normal information, calculating wrong lighting data and creates dark spot

[tender river]

but i guess there may be different causes

[olive sable]

yep, with raytracing at least

non-raytracing shadow acne is some depthmap stuff

[inner pike]

i fucking hate the volume mixer on windows

[olive sable]

fair

[nocturne olive]

Soon

[midnight sigil]

my solution right now is just to simply scale down the whole scene by factor of 0.9999 at each sub-bounces, and it just works

[opaque sigil]

those small numbers remind me of the fact that google wallet doesn't accept digits in nicknames for payment cards so i had to find these really small unicode digits

thanks google

[olive sable]

honestly the problem is more like a lack of interpolation for non-raytracing.
this could be solved by putting everything for shadow mapping in the vertex shaders, but then you couldnt have a clean line for the shadow

[opaque sigil]

idk what bothers me more

[midnight sigil]

just bake everything in 16k textures

[opaque sigil]

the fact that they disallow digits or the fact that they half-assed their check

[olive sable]

honestly i did think about letting the entire scene get baked onto a 32Kx32K shadowmap at init, but the problem is that you dont get dynamic shadows then

it did work

but im doing cascaded shadowmaps now

was actually pretty fast, cuz it only had to write to the depthbuffer

i would show, but im usingthe alpha channel for my 4th cascade so gimma a min

this is what both renderbuffers look like

without the alpha in the depth one

I'm currently trying to use Cursor and the new Claude model to make simple RPG shooter. It's struggling with understanding that I want the ammo and health displayed. After the most recent prompt it took a minute and a half only to change a single line... that line was a comment

[olive sable]

actual vibe coding

[tender river]

i've tried AI many times but it's basically only useful to "expand your horizons" because of AI's cross-domain knowledge, if you are already an expert in your domain it will just suck

[fading fossil]

It's more so I'm testing it's capabilities. I'm more of a physicist than a programmer so I'm just trying to see how well it can actually make something I want it to make

If it was a project I was actually passionate abt--or had to do for work/research--then I'd ofc put some actual effort into it

[tender river]

i do have a suspicion theres a decent amount of fully automatable software jobs nowadays

but for better or worse mine isnt one of them

[fading fossil]

Honestly, as good as AI has gotten over the years, the two things I can confidently say are that AI will never make true art--at least nothing that's meaningful to the human experience--and that AI will need the guiding hand of a human expert for at least the next few years, if not always.

[tender river]

i mean, never say never, but its good to be skeptical of the current state of the industry

[fading fossil]

True, but with what I've seen, I refuse to call anything made by AI "art" since it wasn't made by an actual conscience person

Neuro and Evil are different since Vedal commissions for their models and puts a lot of work into them

[rigid snow]

does a result of using ai gen as a tool to create art (generating some part of the piece, fucking around with the parameters of a model etc.) constitute as “made by AI” to you

because i don’t know how to interpret the whole anti-gen-ai stance, like yeah, completely ai gen art and music make me feel super icky but i also don’t think much of it

[rigid snow]

and i think this is cool

it’s not about what it looks/sounds like (the prompt) anymore, it’s about what i feel and what i made

[fading fossil]

I feel that it depends how much of it was done by a human. E.g., I use Adobe Lightroom to edit photos as an amatuer photographer because all it really does it save me time and effort. The final outcome isn't much different, and the AI tool only creates masks and denoising. At the end of the day, the person using the AI as a tool has the final say in the end product, so they should be able to have control over it to some extent. However if its fully AI generated slop that's lazily made and uploaded as a cash grab then that's where the issue arises

[rigid snow]

yeah i agree 100%

[fading fossil]

Imagine a vibe coder making a 75% or more of their video game using AI and uploading it to Steam for a profit (totally not Abandoned Archive )

[olive sable]

why is there a youtube embed in my youtube?

how does that even happen?

[nocturne olive]

Whar

[tender river]

youtube reinvented iframes?

[olive sable]

accidentaly maybe

i think that is the window where normally there would be a link to a charity?

managed to cut off 30% or so from the render time by cutting out a not-that-useful render buffer to render buffer blit

if i turn off the shadowmapping i might be able to get 4k fps now

[nocturne olive]

Who needs render buffers anyway, right?

[olive sable]

who needs to see the screen anyway?

but ye no, it was a renderuffer meant for GFX or something i think

[nocturne olive]

Surely that's optional

[patent walrus]

i love my coworkers man

[olive sable]

nice coworkers

[desert wave]

my favourite think

do you not have company policy on this? We have no deployments past 3:30pm on a Thursday unless you get management sign-off

[faint sandal]

your convos look so formal meanwhile ours is full of meme emotes, xd, slangs

[patent walrus]

i don't really touch deployments since that's a little beyond my scope but i don't imagine so, it's just vibes

[safe path]

management sign-offs only work if you aren't also management

definitely not speaking from experience

[desert wave]

none of the devs/ops people want to do friday deployments here, meaning requests to do so only ever come from management... so yeah

[safe path]

as a devops person friday deployments are our worst nightmare

however

it was a cold december, we had code that was completed before the holidays, and i came into work to an empty office

the release branch contained ten or so commits, with one of them being a bugfix that we thought wasn't going to be severe

however, it turns out turning on holiday mode on the app triggers the bug

so naturally as the only person in the team, i had to sign off my own request to deploy on a friday before the christmas week

it happens a bit way too often, cuz normally requests like this should go up the chain

[olive sable]

[safe path]

but that was also the day i found out that our company policy actually allowed the most senior person in the team to approve requests in-lieu of the manager, so we never told our department lead what happened that day

[olive sable]

as a gamedev studio of one person, most of my deployments kinda look like this.

yes but use joseph_joestar; DROP TABLE members; -- as the name instead

actually fun fact thats not how real life sql injections work they usually dont allow you to use semicolons

you normally only get read access via a union join

So im learning a bit about storage and memory, is it wrong to say that technically both storage drives and RAM sticks are capable of doing both sequential and random access activities but theyre just specced to do one of those things?

[tender river]

the main difference is latency anyway

[stable fractal]

ok im a moron

[tender river]

in practice, reading RAM sequentially is faster because of the CPU cache, and on modern SSDs random access is pretty fast

so, the difference is definitely much smaller nowadays

[foggy viper]

Huh, funny

[stable fractal]

i don't deserve my name

[tender river]

that's why in modern software design some database techniques are beginning to be used

to optimize data locality in RAM

and vice versa for databases storing data sequentially is not as important which leads to different tradeoffs

[hoary lion]

gemma 3n audio when

[opaque sigil]

you can treat external storage like memory that just has higher latency than what you'd call RAM

and i guess lower bandwidth but it's not like you'll ever saturate that in most scenarios

[tender river]

eh its not that hard to saturate

just use a framebuffer at full hd and a high refresh rate and you're already using a lot

for ram that is

but hdd/ssd its even easier

[opaque sigil]

true, bad wording

[tender river]

but its true that latency is most important for most use cases

hdds are in the milliseconds, ouch

[opaque sigil]

suppose saying it's inconsequential in most cases would be more accurate

[foggy viper]

Ty for answers

[opaque sigil]

[foggy viper]

Actually lemme ask rq, whats external storage in this context? I always was of the idea that thumb drives or those USB SSDs was external storage

[opaque sigil]

i think technically you're right

couldn't think of the correct term, i meant everything that isn't ram

Hopefully we can replace transformers using RPC

[hoary lion]

Not a miku movie

Porject sekai movie ✅

[hoary lion]

use RPC to adapt to transformers

[prime ridge]

yes adapt is a better word

since only MLP layer would change

[stark needle]

me when i only understand remote procedure calls under rpc

[hoary lion]

JSON RPC my beloved

[stark needle]

have i been googlified too much

[prime ridge]

It's representational predictive coding

it's based on the neurology of brains

since humans def don't go back prop in our brains since it would require a global "goal"

[stark needle]

me when the 347th new approach that claims to be the revolutionary approach of all time

[prime ridge]

it's been around since the 50s lol

[stark needle]

fair enough

[prime ridge]

it's innovations are more in the realm of trying to be more faithful to the brain instead of performance

[hoary lion]

then isn't there is a reason then it is not used since 2025...?

dunno much but eh

[prime ridge]

yes lemme explain

[tender river]

no thats normal

[hoary lion]

probably going to require weird ass hardware

[prime ridge]

AI is not at a point right now where it is useful really. Most companies care about boosting benchmarks not about achieving real intelligence and there is no market for it and it doesn't have enough support to do anything yet

[stark needle]

ye and customers are buying it up so who cares lol

[hoary lion]

"real intelligence" is the computer with us currently or is it some kind of another bio shi

[prime ridge]

not predictive coding but backprop

I mean it's a pretty good model of the brain

not perfect obviously but 100x better than backprop

Since companies only care about efficiency I doubt it will go anywhere until some uni decides to care about it

it can be trained layer wise actually

so each layer can be trained in parallel actually

which makes it extremely efficient

unlike clunky MLPs which only optimize for the final global prediction loss. and literally every parameter is updated based on the global gradient

[hoary lion]

uhm

[prime ridge]

I'm def gunna play around with it

[hoary lion]

so no batch

[prime ridge]

I don't think so no

[hoary lion]

is it gpu-able

if so

[prime ridge]

yeah

[hoary lion]

then it good

if not

[prime ridge]

I'm pretty sure

[hoary lion]

it is terrible

[prime ridge]

I mean they ran MNIST on it and I assume they used gpus

it still does matrix multiplication so yeah

which was only done a couple months ago so extremely new

95% accuracy I think it finished with

which is decent but not amazing or anything

also MNIST is kinda basic nowadays

[hoary lion]

dunno

just show me the implementation

[prime ridge]

Been looking for the github

[warm meadow]

Are there some good recent papers on rpcs/?

[prime ridge]

here is the paper while u wait tho ig https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.21796

It's mostly meant for temporal analysis

so like transformers could unironically be a good application

since it basically aims to send "energy" to things that it didn't expect

like how out brains filters out everything until something is unexpected

just like how we can hear our name being called in a loud busy resteraunt

extremely interesting. I'm not entirely sure how practical yet so ima look into it more

I took an extremely quick look and this repo looks ok: https://github.com/fonsc/predictive-coding/tree/master/models/classifier

[elfin sinew]

silly little question, but id like to know nonetheless. Why do i feel like im not progressing much with learning to code? Like im doing projects that i intentionally choose to learn new stuff, but still it feels like im at the same/similiar level as before. Can it be that i was in a programming school, where i had a set roadmap and could track my progress with my courses which i dont have anymore now that im learning on my own? or am i overplacing my goal posts by my next tangible step being "get an internship after college" in my brain?

like i cant say that im the same, with the new technologies i learned and utilizing tools ive not had the chance to use in class. but it feels like i slowed down so much ive come to a relative halt

[tender river]

it may not feel like much immediately, but try looking at your 1 year old code, if you're at a relatively early stage of learning programming chances are it will horrify you

[sick owl]

Filian just woke up alexa on my vector

[tender river]

anyway, with programming theres no particular measure of progress indeed, but you slowly internalize the process of programming more and more, if you want you can follow some programming textbooks

[elfin sinew]

oh ive looked at 6 year old code and and privated that repo out of shame

[stark needle]

mnist will run on a raspberry pi with 1gb ram

i wouldnt say im a beginner, but i cant say that im good yet. I may have done fluid simulation and most recently encrypting data, but i dont know enough about code safety and i especially lack in knowledge about how the code actually runs(which i feel like is incredibly important if i wanna get into cybersec)

[tender river]

i mean, just do CTFs then

or learn C, or whatever

[elfin sinew]

i started on c++, c doesnt scare me particularly

[tender river]

basically, if you want to learn particular topics just learn about them, you wont magically learn them from learning other stuff

[prime ridge]

I mean there isnt a reason why it wouldn't be able to run on gpu

[hoary lion]

exponential growth

[hoary lion]

wouldn't it be very hard to utilize it tho?

[prime ridge]

so even though they could have, I doubt they did especially since they are part of an AI lab

[prime ridge]

Not at all

[hoary lion]

like just using the tensor processing and fail to parallelize

well im more of a show not tell guy soo

waiting for their code

which is pretty much nonexistent

[prime ridge]

I'm writing a transformer implementation

It should be simple enough...

[elfin sinew]

yeah i guess its just that coding learning curve is logarithmic and i now slowly rise unlike before

[prime ridge]

I wonder how much brain damage I will sustain

[tender river]

going from words to numbers is a big jump, then you have to go through completely new concepts like addition and subtraction, but every new step feels less weird and at some point you just go "yeah vector spaces, semirings, makes perfect sense"

you should understand that at this point you need to pick what you actually want to do and actually learn it on a deep level

if you want textbooks you can use https://teachyourselfcs.com/, if you want CTFs you can use https://www.picoctf.org/, for competitive programming i personally use https://codeforces.com, etc

dont see why it would tbh, especially mnist. unless youre feeding the pi 8k 200fps footage of paper it would run fine(if i understood the goal correctly)

for some general ai id imagine pi4 would struggle a bit more than an average pc but it wouldnt be that laggy

[safe path]

i wrote a bunch of code today, then realised that i didn't need whatever i've written

productive day

[tender river]

i've spent the last few days rotating my head around the axis of p2p overlay networks and routing

more than few probably

my current realization is that while i hoped to avoid using DHTs they might actually end up being helpful

its not like DHTs are a particularly complicated piece of tech but they're definitely one that you have to think a long and hard about if you are considering it

[prime ridge]

p2p is amazing

should be used a lot more imo

[tender river]

eh i dont really think so

email-style federation is much better and much simpler

[prime ridge]

Well filesharing and messenging should be more p2p

federated services make things harder

[tender river]

thats true, thats why ICE is a thing

[prime ridge]

well not harder

but worse

[tender river]

lol if you think federation is hard you arent ready for p2p

[prime ridge]

federation is a lot easier than p2p

didn't mean to say harder

I just prefr p2p
