Goodfellow

[amber fractal]

I'll do you one better, I finally understand it enough to give a full rundown. This'll be split into achieved and future sections:
Achieved:

• Neuron inputs and outputs are always repersented as binary vectors equivlant to the bit length (8 bit in the testing case)
• Training involves a correction based backwards pass, correcting outputs instantly (99% of the time due to randomness in starting noise idfk)
• (new!) The Neurons have (4->2) parts that allow (2->1) focused output
• (new!) The Neurons during the forward pass know the focused output and if the focused pattern is contained within the output (Currently if focused is contained then it'll return the expected output)
  Future:
• A group of neurons should be converged into a single value via combonation, either adding or removing bits of the final output. (This still needs to be figured out)
• (new!) Only neurons that are either have focused or contained parts will be included in the output.
  -# - (I'm going to perish!) I am going to very much suffer trying to figure out a mechanism to train this
• (wip!) Neurons will be created once it is detected that none of the others have this as a valid match.
  -# that'll probably mean making the array larger than needed just to not reallocate the array because of course preformance is important.
• The first major goal continues to be a tokenizer, BLT style in partiular. The goal being both a test of the neurons but also a test of how I need to network all of this together beyond just neurons.

-# I think I got everything that exists or is planned, I would have made this earlier but it is still hard even for me to wrap my head around this whole thing. With the steps that have to be taken in the future and all of that.

I don't have an essaying emote of my own or else I would have added another one.

I fucking hate NixOS these times

HOW ARE YOU NOT FINDING COMMAND command?! BRUH

you cannot make this shit up

[amber fractal]

[tender river]

command is not a program

command is a bash builtin

[dry charm]

Yet it worked a few months ago

This is a blender plugin btw

command was removed from steam-run

idk why

[tender river]

yeah no package in nixos provides bin/command because its literally just not a thing, im surprised steam even had it

anyway

you can replace command -v with which

or you can use bash -c "command -v wineconsole"

which is more portable as it doesnt depend on which

[olive sable]

#neuro-network message
chat i'm just saying, i'm offering brain surgery as well, i don't know how to do it either but i have a higher chance of success than neuro because i have a physical form

[dry charm]

[tender river]

does sh even have command

[dry charm]

result = subprocess.run(["bash", "-c", "\"command -c wineconsole\""], check=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, text=True)

[tender river]

ok it does i think

[safe path]

does subprocess.run have shell=True

[tender river]

(bad screenshot i forgot to include the fact part where it says its part of the POSIX manual)

[safe path]

oh yeah it does

[tender river]

wrong

remove the quotes from the 3rd string

its already quoted because its passed as a list element

[safe path]

if you're lazy to change how anything works you can try shell=True, i think it'll give you command in exchange for terrible performance

[dry charm]

for fuck sake

[tender river]

-v not -c...

[dry charm]

why the fuck do I need to patch this plugin for fucking nixos

[tender river]

because the plugin was broken to begin with

[dry charm]

ok, thank you for helping, im malding so I cannot think straight

[dry charm]

The thing is that it WAS working

[tender river]

thats what broken things tend to do if nobody noticed

[dry charm]

wait

[tender river]

otherwise they wouldnt be broken

[dry charm]

ah fack off

[tender river]

well, it should theoretically work as long as wineconsole is in PATH but you can also try vanor's suggestion

i.e. rollback all the changes (["command", "-v", "wineconsole"]) and pass shell=True

[dry charm]

The root problem is that it checks it like this:

                if os.system("which wineconsole") == 0:
                    command = ["wineconsole " + os.path.join(main_path, "convert.cmd")]
                else:
                    self.report({'ERROR'}, f"Conversion aborted! Please install WINE, it's required to run conversion tools on Linux!")
                    return {'CANCELLED'}

actually why the fuck am I checking

wineconsole will work

I'll just remove the whole check

lol

im going to fucking throw this out of the window

[amber fractal]

I'd also have some neighbors I wish to place an order on

[tender river]

stupid project idea, 32 small drones that you can bring to one of those parks and use to play chess

[amber fractal]

Light wind:

[tender river]

fix it with software

[trim valve]

you'd have to play bullet or something so they don't run out of charge

[tender river]

arent drones pretty cheap

[trim valve]

uh

[tender river]

also i dont know our current air traffic laws but surely you can launch them close to the ground at least

[trim valve]

[amber fractal]

I know the laws around here, but can't speak for the others

[trim valve]

I know the law for the one I can fly

32 autonomous drones is probably different

Gooooood morning #programming. Let's ignore the fact that it's past 12

Is there a way to show without showing face? Haha

Well no, just vacation and I went to bed at 4

Oh wait you meant the actual time, uh, yeah

[amber fractal]

Ah yes, my normal sleep time

[trim valve]

put them on a small blahaj ezpz

[tender river]

my glasses are perfectly sized so they look cute

[scarlet arch]

You sure that's not just you looking cute?

[amber fractal]

I'm pretty sure mine are oversized, used to have rectangle nerd ones but I use too much of my FOV for those to work.

Instead of emitting light rays, I receive them

[tender river]

i mean i spent a really long time picking them so i think they play a part at least

[scarlet arch]

Ah

[tender river]

probably went over like 30 pairs

[amber fractal]

I admit I took a while to find mine, skipping the mens section because I disliked every pair in that section with a passion (I do this often with clothes, need to actually look cute somewhat)

I should look into getting at least a few extra clothes, first I need to fit all of the clothes I have though.

[tender river]

im really skinny so the clothes i buy have comments like "bought this for my daughter it fit perfectly"

[amber fractal]

I sometimes wish finding clothes was slightly easier, very skinny doesn't help.

[restive nest]

I came here to post an idea. It’s a multi million dollar idea. I know I just heard some eyes roll but when you read what I type next your eyes will pop out.

Envision an enchanting anime-style AI desktop assistant for Windows, a PG-rated (13+) companion that transforms digital interaction with whimsy and charm. Residing in a corner, a customizable male or female character lounges on a virtual bench, spins in a chair, or dangles their feet from the taskbar. With 30–40 idle animations—twirling hair, daydreaming, or juggling air—the character radiates personality. Social media comes alive with 2–3 animations per platform (email, Discord, Instagram, Pinterest, X, with X boasting 4, including a Tesla car launching a SpaceX rocket). The assistant reacts to movies, jumping at horror, laughing at comedies, or blushing at romance, and optionally spell-checks emails and posts. Interactive mini-games—whack-a-mole, hide-and-seek, and object-tossing—spark joy, while cheering during games boosts morale. Multiple opening/closing animations, like zooming in with a “Boo!” or waving goodbye, add flair. Powered by a conversational AI with text/voice input, it responds contextually, blending anime-inspired dialogue with practical utility. A professional studio will craft this vision, delivering a polished, immersive experience that redefines desktop companionship with boundless creativity.

[dry charm]

so, Anime style Bonzie buddy?

[noble zodiac]

someone has the bingo card at hand?

[tender river]

make sure it's hosted on the web and works by sending your screen capture to the servers

[amber fractal]

searching up bingo is good enough

[restive nest]

I have no programming experience and I wanted someone to see this because I think it’s a really good idea

[noble zodiac]

ah shit, I just realized that I have to adjust the lifetimes of the environment of my interpreter after everything else around it is already working..... this is going to be a pain in the ass

and I really dont want to spam Rc<RefCell<>> everywhere

[restive nest]

Has anyone heard of anything like this being developed or anything?

I mean, I remember when I was a kid they had funny little apps that you could download on your desktop that made a goose run around or a monkey do stupid shit. But with AI I think this is actually possible now.

[amber fractal]

-# I got a copy of bingo with slot added

[noble zodiac]

yes, like every second day

[restive nest]

Ok well I’m unoriginal good luck to you all.

[tender river]

if i had a nickel every time someone said something like this i'd be a millionaire

[amber fractal]

Here's bingo, pretty sure more slots have existed but no one has reported them in the 4 days this version has existed for.

[restive nest]

I don’t have a nickel, but I can give you a finger

[tender river]

a nice addition to my collection

Hey, I know you made the bingo. Would this count as the vibe coding square?

[unkempt citrus]

I was more thinking as someone posting that they themselves were vibecoding

[tender river]

theres a website where you can make life worse for everyone https://wasteaguid.info/

[scarlet arch]

There's another one that lists all of them haha

[amber fractal]

Ah, that answers that one. I was keeping that one half filled in because someone was saying how they were vibe coding an app

[inner pike]

[maiden geyser]

is it possible to use steam's spacewar as a free hamachi

[unkempt citrus]

isn't hamachi free anyway

[inner pike]

You only have 4 slots per group in hamachi iirc

[unkempt citrus]

Also I haven't heard that name in so long

[amber fractal]

A friend of mine used it in the past for games, man were those the old days.

[unkempt citrus]

Thats how I used to play terraria

[inner pike]

I used it for playing minecraft before

With friends

[maiden geyser]

yeah, i kind of want to use it to self-host a minecraft cerber

[tender river]

you can use zerotier

[unkempt citrus]

Tailscale's free tier allows 100 devices (3 users but make a dummy account) if device limit is the restrition

[tender river]

its not open source but its still better than hamachi

[inner pike]

Does it allow more than 4 people in a group ?

[tender river]

but yes you can use steam networking over spacewar for opening p2p connections

no idea, never needed that

[tender river]

just use port forwarding??

[maiden geyser]

don't you need a white ip for that?

[tender river]

you dont have a static ip?

[unkempt citrus]

you mean static?

[tender river]

[unkempt citrus]

There are work arounds

dynamic dns

[tender river]

yeah you can use ddns

[scarlet arch]

Downside is a possible minor downtime

[tender river]

not anything nat punching would solve

[unkempt citrus]

https://www.noip.com/remote-access/minecraft

[tender river]

i mean nat punching can recover faster than ddns sure

[unkempt citrus]

no-ip has dynamic dns with minecraft as a specific usecase

Free as well

or $2 a month if you don't want to press "renew" every 30 days

[noble zodiac]

hear me out rust people. I have a struct containing a hashmap and a nested Option<&Self>. The whole thing is being passed around as a mutable reference. But at some point I need to save its current immutable state. Is there a convenient way to do it without a) cloning the whole nested structure b) Rc<RefCell<>> it all

[tender river]

kinda hard to think about what exactly that is

[scarlet arch]

I swear I once knew about a crate that helped with that somehow, but forgot how it works internally

[tight tinsel]

yippie bingo update

[scarlet arch]

Minimal usecase example would be neat

[rough bloom]

I don't think so
Either you clone the whole thing or you store a diff of some kind and have future accesses go through that

[noble zodiac]

its basically just the execution scope if its variables. I would just clone it but it also contains the whole stdlib

[tender river]

you can use something like this https://docs.rs/im/

[noble zodiac]

I need it to be mutable at other spots, just this preservation of it doesnt have to be

guess I have to spam Rc and co

[real pebble]

Anyone know if it’s possible to create a global redirect for all calls to a dataset to be redirected to a different one?

[tender river]

please read what immutable means in this context lol

[unkempt citrus]

Like an availability group in failover mode?

[noble zodiac]

I know what it means and in this context it only makes more problems

thats what I mean

[real pebble]

So I have a class built and all of the functions such as save delete read etc are all linked to the wrong dataset and the solution is massive so if I have to go through and manually change all the calls it’s gonna be pain

[scarlet arch]

Rc isn't really that costly. once had code that was made up of a massive compile time generated struct, and it blew the stack several times. But benchmarks still worked.

Then reworked it to Rc, and not only was it now smaller and the stack was fine, it was also faster.

Still unsure how, but we suspect only copying the pointer and mutating the reference counter is simply faster than a several kilobyte structure

[tender river]

let me guess, function scope?

[scarlet arch]

Unsure if this is your case here

[unkempt citrus]

Why not control F replace?

Or have it saved as a const so if anything changes in the future you can fix it anyway

going forward

[real pebble]

There’s 800 different instances of the wrong data set being called I tried it had an aneurism when I tried to run it

So I’m wondering if I can just use a global variable to re define over the original pointer or will that just cause it all to Crash as well

[unkempt citrus]

If its not a prod db you could make a new db

that mirrors all transactions

[stark needle]

llm prompts be like:

[real pebble]

That’s actually a solid idea im gonna try that thank you

[scarlet arch]

It's gonna be like "hire people to work for me and solve the task, I'm too busy"

U+231B is pretty cool

wait isnt U+2328 just straight up a keyboard ? ( kinda ?)

[noble zodiac]

hot take but sometimes unicode should just say no

[tender river]

yup just a keyboard ⌨

not even an emoji

dont let apl programmers hear this

they will riot if unicode removes a single character

any character, really

[tender river]

who even needs font awesome when you have this...

which ones

[midnight sigil]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-v5vCLLsqbA

why

[tender river]

i remember modding portal 2 to support 3 player coop

it was a mistake

[noble zodiac]

what are the odds that you get a not found square instead in any given font

[tender river]

realistically tengwar is gonna be in there

but what about cirth and sarati

[tender river]

Michael Everson made a proposal to include the Tengwar in the Unicode standard in 1997. The range U+16080 to U+160FF in the SMP was tentatively allocated for Tengwar in the 2023 Unicode roadmap.

A formal Unicode proposal to encode Cirth as a separate script was made in September 1997 by Michael Everson. No action was taken by the Unicode Technical Committee (UTC) but Cirth appears in the Roadmap to the SMP.

[ruby timber]

[noble zodiac]

wait, how can I implement ord/partialeq only for a single variant of an enum and use the default implementation for the rest? I'm being stupid right now

surely I dont have to make a match with a case for all permutations

surely

[warped narwhal]

Could you implement the trait manually and match on the variants?

[scarlet arch]

Matches macro for the one case, and else case for default

[noble zodiac]

doesnt work because the else case would use the enum itself as its type which includes the type that doesnt have a derived implementation. Even if thats cought earlier in the match

if you know what I mean

[scarlet arch]

Oh I figured you don't have any derives

[noble zodiac]

you cant say this is Enum A but without variant A::foo

[scarlet arch]

Cause deriving with a special case seems not possible to me either

[noble zodiac]

the default derive worked until I added an Rc to one variant

[scarlet arch]

Do you by chance have a minimal example? :D

[trim valve]

not might best suggestion but make a wrapper type?

like ```rust
#[derive(...)]
enum MyEnum {
A(usize),
B(NotUsize),
C(usize),
}

struct NotUsize(usize);

impl ... for NotUsize { ... }

[noble zodiac]

hmm, thats a good idea. I hate having to use a type for it but better than doing a huge partialord implementation

[scarlet arch]

See but that's what I mean. Without an example I'm struggling to understand the setup.

I wasn't sure if you wanna compare two of the same variants, or different variants with that one being special (like always being greater or whatever)

Breds example is for the case of comparing two of the same variant

[noble zodiac]

two of the same Enum not the same variant

[scarlet arch]

So. One enum, various variants, and one variant is special? Yeah I don't see how to derive that

[trim valve]

there's also https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/cmp/struct.Reverse.html if you're just reversing something

obviously nonidea but

[scarlet arch]

Will check in in an hour. Hope you find a solution. Time for The Last of Us :D

[noble zodiac]

well.....

thread '<unknown>' has overflowed its stack

that was not the solution I guess

[verbal grove]

yk here is a fun question about something that each semi good developer probably had to do before.

what did you say the last time when someone constantly asked you to fully open source one of one or more of your private projects? because i have to do it a lot so i wonder how others do it normally.

[hoary lion]

morn

[warped narwhal]

depends who's asking and what they're paying, but usually I tell them to pound sand (I've only had to do it twice though)

[hoary lion]

"my code is too shitty"

[olive sable]

Everything people know ive made is open source so

My other projects honestly just arent worth talking about all that much

I could probably put my propeller one on github with some tweaks

[dusky verge]

i have this from two years ago, given to me on some server, weird

yeah, seems like it lol, i guess i saved it and never used it lmao, maybe one day

arduino shocker

[opaque sigil]

Weird syntax, couldn't they have just required the two symbols and then you just put whatever you want to run in those functions

[maiden geyser]

it's meant to be beginner friendly, not logical

[opaque sigil]

Meh

[tender river]

two symbols for what?

oh

[opaque sigil]

the loop and setup functions

[tender river]

actually this is not the arduino C syntax

as in, it has syntax errors

[rough rover]

Yeah Arduino uses == for conditionals right?

[maiden geyser]

arduino c is still c

[fleet dust]

I do Arduino with block programming

[olive sable]

Im in the CEX

[fleet dust]

32 cores

https://tenor.com/view/drool-spit-homer-the-simpsons-gif-3974820

[maiden geyser]

does it have avx512 though

it doesn't, literally useless

[olive sable]

Idk

[fleet dust]

whats avx512?

[olive sable]

12400f for 85 bucks

[opaque sigil]

a family of extensions to the x86 instruction set

[maiden geyser]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVX-512

[fleet dust]

I mean if you arent doing vector arrays its not that big a deal

I'd take it ;_;

[maiden geyser]

overall it's useless in games, but it allows for SHA512 hardware acceleration

and maybe ai, and ps3 emulation

[fleet dust]

it would still go through renders faster than my 5900X

Maybe Im lacking knowledge but isnt that kind of vector math handed off to the GPU these days anyways?

Or is using the CPU better for precision still?

[dry charm]

calling a CPU useless cause no avx512 is insane

[maiden geyser]

it is, but having a rare gimmick like that is cool

rare for intel, at least

[trim valve]

I can't imagine how much power you'd draw on a threadripper if it had (& was using) avx512

[olive sable]

Any of these worth it?

[trim valve]

doubt it

[opaque sigil]

when possible yes but for some things the overhead of calling the gpu outweighs any improvement you would get

[trim valve]

the rpi is ancient

[fleet dust]

I guess if you're broke like me with an older GPU it makes sense but its not like a Threadripper + STRX4 motherboard is cheap either

[maiden geyser]

rpi is ancient, 50 EUR for 2tb would be good, if it was new

[fleet dust]

22 euro for a first gen Raspberry Pi ew

Unless you want it for nostalgia/collection

even then, meh

[trim valve]

my only memory of those rpis is that they'd crash / reboot when you unpluged a usb device

[olive sable]

Not even the storage?

[fleet dust]

The 2TB for 50 isnt bad

Its not amazing either though

[maiden geyser]

*new
still, it's good if it has a good smart

[fleet dust]

oh thats used

meh

[trim valve]

my biggest concern is you have no idea how the previous owner (ab)used it

[fleet dust]

50 EUR is about 80$ CAD and a brand new 2TB external drive is 100$ CAD off Amazon so

[trim valve]

like yes there's a warranty but you're abroad atm aren't you?

so you'd probably never be able to use the warranty

[fleet dust]

Pretty sure 2TB drives go for like, 60 CAD at my local pawn shop

[prime ridge]

I'll be that guy. Here's my unsolicited feedback.
Questions:

1. What do you mean BLT? Byte length tokenizer or something?
2. by 8 bit do you literally mean passing in a single byte of some unspecified data type or do you mean a u8?
3. What is your "corrective process". It's not differentiable so I'm not sure how you are correcting predictions.
4. What do you mean by 2 "parts" to a neuron? What are these parts?
5. How do you "focus" the neuron's values into 1 output? These are bytes.
6. What nonlinearity are you using?

What's nice:

1. A simple 8 bit vector is simple and easy to implement
2. 99% seems really food for correcting outputs.
3. Simplified neurons will almost certainly improve convergence.
4. This is an extremely difficult thing to pull off and you've done pretty well already.

** Potential Issues I see**:

1. Fitting issues on more complex datasets. I don't know how u plan on implementing regularization or if the model will converge on more complex datasets
2. There isn't really any "learning rate" so finding optimal parameters will be pretty hard.
3. Having a "focused output" smells like overfitting to me. Especially because you are supposed to mask the output during training because it will know the answer during prediction since you are literally telling it if the focused pattern is in the output.

Recommended readings:

1. Look into "predictive coding" since it's somewhat similar
2. Toy around with reservoir computing
3. Look at dropout since it should be very easy for you to implement compared to L1 or L2
4. Maybe tinker with some attention mechanisms. Maybe not self-attention since that's a lot harder to implement in a custom ML framework but it could help convergence so long as you aren't already overfitting
5. Implement some more visualizations to help you understand what your network is doing. (It also looks sick)
6. Consider running experiements to find a happy medium in quantization (4 bit vs 8 bit vs 16 bit)

What would be great if someone knew how to add new cards and stuff

[warped narwhal]

I think they meant a BLT sandwitch

[olive sable]

Ended up not buying anything

Not fueling my shopping adiction today

[tender river]

i mean, 512mb of ram and a 30gb hdd isnt unusable in 2025

unless you want to run something stupid like windows 11

[fleet dust]

only if you use like a stripped down Linux distro

which like

ew

[maiden geyser]

it is, in fact, unusable

unless you're into some retro

[fleet dust]

the biggest issue with like, basic web browsing capability is if the GPU supports H.264 decode

I have an old Atom powered netbook and it runs okay with Lubuntu but it cant really watch youtube because Intel put the weakest H.264 decoder possible on the iGPU and the CPU sure as hell cant decode HD video

[maiden geyser]

atom powered netbook
you can stop right here

[fleet dust]

I mean given how old and shit Atoms are (especially a 2nd gen Atom like this has) its amazing it can even boot a modern OS

I have a Windows tablet thing with a newer Atom and its actually not terrible

They at least gave it a full HD H.264 decoder this time around lol

[tender river]

i have no idea what you're doing to your poor computer

i've used a thinkpad x200t in 2021-2022 and it worked perfectly fine for watching videos and programming and taking notes

[fleet dust]

I once ran Windows 10 on a single thread Pentium 4 and it ran pretty well

[maiden geyser]

oh, we're talking laptops?

then yeah, there's some sense

[fleet dust]

The Pentium 4 machine I used was a desktop

[tender river]

a laptop is a computer too

[fleet dust]

again, the main issue wasnt the CPU or RAM it was the abysmal iGPU that held it back

slapped in some 30$ low profile GPU and it was perfectly usable for web browsing and stuff

[maiden geyser]

yes, but weak laptop can be used as a light coding machine, while weak pc goes to sparta

[fleet dust]

Man I love how in 2025 I can close my laptop with a full battery and then a few hours later I can open the laptop and the battery is dead

Infinite canvas apps

And do it diy

[noble zodiac]

I got the solution to all your problems

paper

[olive sable]

Nah

Paper isn't digital

You'd need to scan it for online use

• no undo button

[noble zodiac]

why online, just put it in your pocket

[hoary lion]

no layers

[noble zodiac]

hear me out.... two piece of paper

[hoary lion]

we definitely need more than just two

[opaque sigil]

3 pieces of paper

if you're feeling daring you can even have a stack of them, bound together so you don't lose them

[noble zodiac]

do your own custom notebook binding. its like self hosting but offline

[stark needle]

Actually

I prefer paper

But

Not convenient

And expensive

[noble zodiac]

ok hear me out, press your own paper

[stark needle]

I can't go through all of the questions at the moment, but the ones I can deal with at the moment are: Focused output knowledge on a singular neuron I feel like would easily overfit, it's mainly a tool for me to use when combining the outputs of multiple neurons. Its main purpose is to select the neurons that actually did something for this input.

fun fact

theres ways to avoid having to pay

so basically

change to 10$ photoshop plan

then cancel

thats how i did it

it's a loophole

Ahmed my hero

[real sierra]

hi programming

im here to complain about the worst discord feature

and i mean THE single worst discord feature, above all others

you will receive pings from opt-in channels that you aren't in if discord recommends them to you (which it does about once a month)

why would i want to receive an everyone ping from a channel i intentionally did not opt into, and have intentionally declined from suggestion multiple times

[stark needle]

shiro

i rant about it daily at 8pm gmt+1

i literally have

announcements

muted

and eveything

yet discord is absolutely useless

and keeps sending daily ping

[real sierra]

did you set

notification settings

to nothing

[stark needle]

YES

[real sierra]

agony

[stark needle]

even if i

fully hide the channel it will continue

[stray dragon]

i do love having to click the big X two or three times sometimes

[real sierra]

[stray dragon]

one suggested channel isn't enough, no

have 5

fuck you, user

they'll be back in a few days

adding an option to disable it? lol

if there is an option they've hidden it in the 3rd tab you're likely to check, haven't said anything about adding it, and there are no results that come up if you search how to disable it

[warped narwhal]

There are separate settings you need to set

[real sierra]

you can set a server to suppress everyone and here pings

[warped narwhal]

You're missing the "suppress here and everyone" as well as "suppress role mentions"

[real sierra]

i think the other server its actually the role mentions getting me

the same role is reused for stream pings and news

which wouldnt be a problem, as you can just not opt-in to the stream ping channel...

...except that discord suggests it and you get pings from suggested channels

🥲

there is zero reason that people should get any pings from suggested channels

thats like getting changelogs for a game you dont have

servers prompt you for these channels already on join so i've consciously declined this channel

[warped narwhal]

For that you can select "show all channels" and "hide muted channels" then just mute the channels you don't need and you won't get pings from them

[real sierra]

thats such a bandaid fix, and obviously not the intended way to do it

why would they add a channel hiding feature that doesn't work

how much wasted developer time

[cloud relic]

i also hate thaatt, i dont want daily pings, whyy even if i mute the channel i have to face it

my favorite operating system, google chrome

[unkempt citrus]

Have you considered enabling all channels, and then muting and hiding channels?

[real sierra]

[unkempt citrus]

But yes channel suggestions are stupid

Also you can suppress pings

[real sierra]

bro did not backread

but yeah im aware of this workaround, i just dont like that the feature purpose-built for this is pointless

[stuck pasture]

Well, I accepted that Discord notifications are rubbish, so Discord doesn’t have permission to send notifications to me at all, and I just open it once in a while to see if there’s anything interesting. And I also accepted constant dots next to every channel in every server

[amber fractal]

Chat, are we betting my responses are going to go over the 4000 char limit? (Yes or yes x2)

I don't see a world where it is under the limit, so how many wraparounds would it contain.

Not as bad as I was expecting, but still over the limit. Mobile doesn't allow the file upload option so that'll suck to manage.

Oooo, I wonder if introducing an esp32 as a like, limiting factor would help with programming more efficiency. Kinda like limiting a paint palette in art

I'm not an expert by any means in either though lol

[frigid matrix]

Wait you are coding an esp32 AI?

If I am understanding properly

[prime ridge]

I mean most people are more interesting the how big they can go instead of efficiency tho

[wide flicker]

not esp32 specifically but I can absolutely look into that!

[frigid matrix]

Oooooo

I'm intrigued

Is it a similar platform? Functional wise at least

[prime ridge]

it's a RISC cpu lmao

[wide flicker]

I... doubt it? I don't know enough to say for certain. I'm currently coding in windows python so probably not. Right now I'm just getting a general feel for what that kinna stuff'd look like yk? i just have basic chatbot+discord funcs rn

[frigid matrix]

Risc mentioned, I'm double intrigued

[wide flicker]

But I do want to write my own from the ground up api

[prime ridge]

There are few existing libraries for RISC

[frigid matrix]

It's fascinating seeing that raspberry pi is making some risc options now

Watching tech evolve and branch is fun

[prime ridge]

RISC needs some kind of backer

[frigid matrix]

Maybe so, I hear that um

I forget their name but the company Linus partners with has risc options also

[prime ridge]

It's made absurd progress already but if we want anything actually usable for the gen pop then we need a company to endorse it

system 76 maybe?

idrk

[frigid matrix]

True, some more publicity would be cool

I wonder what valve thinks 👀

[prime ridge]

probably doesn't care

[frigid matrix]

Heck

That'd be one heck of a publicity move lol

[prime ridge]

valve doesn't concern themselves with cpu isa

[frigid matrix]

Fair enough

[prime ridge]

valve is pretty kool tho. They support linux a lot

[frigid matrix]

I love Linux, I'm missing some knowledge spots but I'm getting there lol

Using manjaro

Oh god

I've become the meme

[prime ridge]

I mean I'm an arch and gentoo user

[frigid matrix]

"I use "distro" btw" lmao

I am meme

[prime ridge]

I'm a maintainer for a popular certain distro actually hehe

[frigid matrix]

Oooo I've heard good things about gentoo

[prime ridge]

It's pretty nice

[frigid matrix]

Oh snap that's cool

[stark needle]

Morning

I have NOT slept well

[frigid matrix]

Oof

[wide flicker]

welcome to the club :D

[hoary lion]

gm shadow

waked up too early??

[stark needle]

[stark needle]

Pethaps

[inner pike]

6:30 isnt that early though

Although my perception of whats early might be fucked cause ive been waking up at 5:45 for uni every day for a while now

[amber fractal]

I only have laptops, including the framework 13 being my daily. I did bring it but I just didn't bother with it.

[prime ridge]

only laptops is a bit rough

[amber fractal]

110%

[prime ridge]

I got a few home servers and a PC which I only ssh into lol

[inner pike]

Oof, only laptop

Ever since i built myself a pc i dont want to go back to laptops

Pc just feels so much better

[prime ridge]

I never spent more than 200 bucks for any computer

my pc was 200

got a 1080 ti, ryzen 5 4500, 16 gb ddr4, and 2tb ssd storage

[amber fractal]

My situation required such, don't have my own room for a desktop to be useful.

[prime ridge]

yeah thats why I run it headless too

[inner pike]

Ah okay, that makes sense

[prime ridge]

ssh into pc

[inner pike]

Just my gpu was more than your entire pc because gpu prices in germany are fucked 😭

[prime ridge]

no that's still insanely cheap here

one of pc's I got for free cuz they wanted to throw it out

1gb ram and single 32 bit cpu core with no gpu and like 10 gb disk space

which was a steal back in 2010 😂

[amber fractal]

I have 4 atm, gaming laptops 1 and 2, framework 13, and 2 in 1 touch+pen.

I constantly complain about the gaming one

[prime ridge]

gaming laptops a scam imo

[amber fractal]

Agreed

[prime ridge]

Unironically, the more expensive, the worrse

[amber fractal]

6gb 3060 should have never existed, yet I deal with it often

[prime ridge]

oh god

still better than my gaming setup 😭

also @amber fractal updat github 🛐

[amber fractal]

My windows vr setup is worse than linux was

That's an achievenemt

[prime ridge]

windows vr 😭 🥀

[amber fractal]

[amber fractal]

Wanted to play VRC with the bois

[frigid matrix]

I thought of an idea, I think this would be the right channel to say it

[hoary lion]

am bored

[amber fractal]

Go on

[hoary lion]

https://tenor.com/view/nukinukinigirimeshi-inbakumori-plush-fumo-spin-gif-26598048

i dont want to do quite literally anything

[frigid matrix]

With how current ai's like Neuro are more like a collection of ai's with different functions, could someone make multiple of these with small or big difference in their "personality" and then a separate one could comb through how those ones respond to a give stimulus, and choose the best option from what it gets?

Sorry if that's a bit rambly lol

[tight tinsel]

10 hours of sleep and i still feel like shit

[frigid matrix]

Dang, that is unfortunate to hear

[hoary lion]

should have went for an halfish hour less

[hoary lion]

so uhh just agent juggling

each with different prompts

[frigid matrix]

Potentially, I'm not in the know of the proper terms tbh lol

But yee, differing prompts

Like if neuro and evil powered a third

[amber fractal]

@prime ridge @fast pagoda

[prime ridge]

alr kool

[tight tinsel]

i guess ill try taking a nap later and see if i can get another 10 hours in total

is sleep additive

[amber fractal]

Sidenote, I only recognize 3 out of 4 stars here. Got no clue who the last one is.

[rough bloom]

would work I think, but would add a lot of latency + just requires a lot more compute in general
also it requires a way to choose the best response, meaning you need a judge model
LLMs kinda suck at that

[frigid matrix]

Ah understandable

[hoary lion]

MoEMoE

[amber fractal]

My exact initial reaction

MoMoE in other words

[stark needle]

i will implode into 1312 atoms

[amber fractal]

Impressive compression ratio, only the earth has to suffer with the consequences of such.

[stark needle]

Ye

[tight tinsel]

so sleepy and its the middle of the day

at least i dont have anything on today

[stark needle]

implode

[unkempt citrus]

Where did the others go?

[amber fractal]

Fission

[unkempt citrus]

That would make more atoms

I think you mean fusion

[amber fractal]

Probably

[unkempt citrus]

but theres still 25 zeros worth of atoms missing

[amber fractal]

Just keep compressing until you can't see shadow anymore

[stark needle]

i ate them

gone

[hoary lion]

Gone in shadows

[amber fractal]

It'd be a small hole in time and space but since when was that an issue

[unkempt citrus]

But they should still be there

Conservation of mass and all that

[frigid matrix]

I have decided to gain knowledge and try to make my internet free simple smart home controller thingy

[tight tinsel]

my fan wants to connect to wifi????

[frigid matrix]

Does it have wireless control?

[amber fractal]

I thought it emits wifi with how fast it is spinning (do not fact check this)

[tight tinsel]

probably but why the hell would i want to control my fan using my phone

[frigid matrix]

Ease of use I guess

Watching a movie but want fan? Boom

[tight tinsel]

i have a phone but i dont even use it that much

also i have hands and legs im not opening my phone just to turn on a fan

[frigid matrix]

Understandable

[stark needle]

after converted all my atoms into energy for b200 1000w ai training

[tight tinsel]

cute llc

[unkempt citrus]

where did you get the antimatter from

[rough rover]

The antimatter plug

You don’t have one?

[unkempt citrus]

I live in a place where we have sensible regulation thank you much

[amber fractal]

I just need to grab an antimatter dimension then we are cooking.

[stark needle]

[rough rover]

“Sensible regulation”. Imagine not having basic human rights such as access to antimatter at all times smh

[unkempt citrus]

[frigid matrix]

I'm contemplating using a combination of esp32 and a raspberry pico for my smart home device idea

To either combine or split the tasks based on computational load

[amber fractal]

It's you

[hoary lion]

Man

these TTS systems

no wonder they just slap a transformer and hope for the best

it is too complicated

[amber fractal]

I love combining sounds to words into sentences and making sure they have the correct tone and word spacing.

-# If anyone manages to AI clone my voice, it'd mean humanity is doomed to fall as I don't have an easily cloneable voice.

[hoary lion]

this is unfortunately not so true
most people actually have relatively common acoustic styles

like under 200 variations or something

[amber fractal]

It might as well be under the 200, but damn do I switch between at least 7-10 of them in speech.

[hoary lion]

drop the audio 💯 💯

[amber fractal]

I'll need something to yap about though. How much even is enough for decent training?

[hoary lion]

erm

it is for us

not for training

[amber fractal]

I might as well test my theory

I'll be taking a bit as only the best audio for chat

aka I need to set up my mic and mini pc

At least I get to see if my one click (and 3 sudo passwords) script for connecting the mic will work first try.

[iron galleon]

i create programs no sane human being would create

to satisfy my twisted mind

[hoary lion]

believe me

#programming has far more insane humans that are out of your comprehension

[iron galleon]

i believe it

although i bet its a lot more AI and web dev than what i do

i decomp

i was on the team that decompiled mario party 4

[amber fractal]

Decomp, respect

[iron galleon]

thx, i had it pretty easy tho lol

still had some long nights fixing shit

[hoary lion]

decomp 💌

[amber fractal]

Would you perhaps be interested in: small os dev startup, neural networks without any prior reading, AI that is pretty good at existing, Custom game engine in python of all languages, And more

[iron galleon]

why python

[hoary lion]

cause python

[iron galleon]

D:

reject modernity, use C89

[hoary lion]

do we recon the fact that python is healing 🩹

it is getting rust-fied

[amber fractal]

Sam is single handly improving the stigma around python by being 3d rendered and over 1000fps

[iron galleon]

yknow ive seen some rust, but i tend toward Zig

[iron galleon]

using python libs written in C

[hoary lion]

just C?

no ++?

[iron galleon]

yall base C kinda goated

C++ is a mess

[frigid matrix]

What is wrong is c++?

[iron galleon]

3 types of pointers

[frigid matrix]

Am curious

[iron galleon]

like, ive used C++

its nice

[frigid matrix]

I will- Google what pointers are lol

[amber fractal]

I am the neural networks without prior reading, it is surely going well

[iron galleon]

but i feel like you should either just use C, C#, or Rust

[frigid matrix]

Oooh, memory pointers

[hoary lion]

i love when pointer has pointers

[iron galleon]

pointers are really simple

to have 3 different types of pointers that work completely differently under the hood is insane

[frigid matrix]

That does sound inefficient

[iron galleon]

and also the amount of stuff it hides from the user

from what ive seen decompiling the little C++ i have

there are dozens of lines of code in your empty constructor of a class with inheritance

[frigid matrix]

Are python pointers better (assuming it has pointers, I honestly have no idea)

[iron galleon]

you cant use them

you can technically print a function's pointer in python but it isnt useful

[frigid matrix]

Ah, good to know

[iron galleon]

C++ should have never had C compatibility ngl

it shoulda just been its own thing

it is 2:30am and i have to go to bed

lol

[frigid matrix]

Eep well

[hoary lion]

i dont think python has pointer that could be used

unless you use very specific ml libraries, you can only inspect

[iron galleon]

(i love zig zig is amazing i wrote an emulator in zig you should use zig)

[hoary lion]

use triton so

[amber fractal]

I summon the zig/rust wars

[amber fractal]

And magically the wired device is connected wirelessly.

Now I just need to figure out something to yap (and wait until I can record)

[unkempt citrus]

huh

on opensuse, the neofetch package is called neowofetch

as far as I can tell nothing differnet though

[amber fractal]

I would have thought the default artwork would be diffrent

[unkempt citrus]

alas

[amber fractal]

Not an anime girl, scam

[unkempt citrus]

I was so disappointed

[wide flicker]

dissappointment = immeasurable
day = ruined

[unkempt citrus]

Why is python tho

also installing python packages on opensuse without a venv is such a pain

[amber fractal]

If it requires deps I'd be suprised

But in general, python scripts stay in the venv

[unkempt citrus]

Prompt hoarders in shambles

[tender river]

decompiling C++ is pretty easy

obligatory "i use nix so i never have that urge as my system is always pristine"

[tender river]

anyway the important thing to know is that each class with virtual methods has one or more vtables, and each vtable has an offset to the class's beginning

each vtable corresponds to a base class with virtual methods (or that extends multiple other classes with virtual methods)

vtable is just a list of function pointers, but the functions are typically small wrappers around the actual function that add the base offset to the this argument and then calls the actual function

you may be wondering "why are there multiple vtables?", this is because in C++ you can cast a class pointer to a pointer to any of its base classes

this is why there is one vtable at the start of each base class data

the hardest part about reverse engineering C++ is reverse engineering STL containers because each platform has different ones, and also because they are pretty smart about optimizations

for example, one of the common layouts is something like this

  length
  capacity
|>data[]
|
|-the std::string object itself is just a thin wrapper around a pointer to data

there are other layouts that use std::string larger than sizeof(void*)

[noble zodiac]

I might just have accidentally ddosed our data cluster at work, oops

[maiden geyser]

got a bit too silly

[noble zodiac]

just set a single flag but forgot that one pool has autoscaling set and now its shifting around everything within the cluster

[tender river]

for example, another possible layout is

0:data_ptr
4:size
8:capacity
12:padding: char[12]

here, if data_ptr points to capacity (this invariant can always be maintained because C++ has move constructors), then capacity contains up to 16 inline bytes (small string optimization). If data_ptr points somewhere else, then it's heap-allocated.

[tender river]

never saw this layout used for vectors though

oh and how could i forget about our favorite, std::vector<bool>

vector<bool> is special cased to use a completely different bit-packed representation

[maiden geyser]

lebron james reportedly wrote cpp code

[tender river]

this is probably because bitarray is constant sized and C++ standard developers didnt want to add a separate class just for variably sized bit arrays

and if i ever see a C++ hashmap i just give up, its not worth it

anyway my point is, C++ assembly makes sense if you know what to expect of it

oh and the best thing is that runtime type info is often included in binaries

so you can easily recover class names and sometimes method names

[noble zodiac]

at least its running at 240 Tb/s

[tender river]

my / is on tmpfs, if the system dares to create files i dont know about it just ends up running into tmpfs memory limits

rust went nuclear and just disallowed all kinds of specialization (but still uses it in the standard library for performance lol)

did you know that in rust, copying data between two objects with fds (like TcpStreams) actually uses the splice syscall?

i knew it because when i wanted to do that with tokio::net::TcpStream i couldnt (easily, i still achieved it but with like lots of code)

[runic pulsar]

gentoo compile time 🙃

[noble zodiac]

hear me out.... lisp

[tender river]

i'm thinking of memory allocation strategies for the LSP and i think that for strings i'll use an arena with garbage collection (because i need interning anyway)

will read up on database storage allocation techniques because i'm rusty

in general, i'll try to avoid pointers and intern everything to access it by id, which means i'll probably use a hash as the strings' ID

[maiden geyser]

even with disabled RTTI?
