programming

[fast pagoda]

on my main monitor i do

and the others aren't HDR monitors

so i guess im just talking about my ass

[olive sable]

all my monitors are the same exact model

[fast pagoda]

naw my desk looking like ratman's lair in portal

[olive sable]

i notice the biggest differnce on that new projector i got

but that is kinda the brightest screen in our entire house

i think its like 800-900 nits

[fast pagoda]

projectors have to absolutely overblast it to make up for the whole no screen thing

[olive sable]

ye

my pc screen is 400 nits

[fast pagoda]

i assume you're getting a reflective projector screen

rather than the wall

eventually

[olive sable]

ye

not for now, but eventually

gotta recover my bank account

[fast pagoda]

that should make a huge difference afaik

[olive sable]

its currently a white wall, so its decent rn

[fast pagoda]

yeah but even vs that

the screens have weird geometry

maybe even semantic tech

[olive sable]

nits is a measurment of area. so my projector is twice as bright in a 27" section of it i guess

[olive sable]

ill look into it

[fast pagoda]

run the script

[olive sable]

what script?

[fast pagoda]

im joking about mr semantic tech last night

~~400?? i guess

[olive sable]

is this my monitor?

[fast pagoda]

nah it's mine

[olive sable]

oh

ye mine doesnt have true black

[fast pagoda]

i went to look at yours but

the model number that your system reports

i dont think this is your monitor

but if you're daily driving a clothes dryer for your monitor

[olive sable]

its a 27gp850

im not gaming on an elctric dryer with turbosteam

[fast pagoda]

yours is def brighter than mine

they absolutely roasted it for its contrast in hdr which is obviously related tho

[olive sable]

yours has 900 on 2% tho

while mine stays about 470

[fast pagoda]

it makes sense if the contrast is better

well

not fully explained

idk how to say what im trying to say so i wont lmao

black screen go brrrr

[olive sable]

i dont think the contrast is too bad

its not amazing, but i dont activly go "i wish it was better"

[fast pagoda]

i think it's just anything less than like true black is noticably worse ig

[olive sable]

ye

[fast pagoda]

the blacks w/ true black are really something that is true

[olive sable]

btw, with a projector, idk why i was expecting this, but i thought the balck bars in widescreen movies would be gone

but they arent

[fast pagoda]

i feel like there are projectors that do this

but it would be like laser ones or some shit

just because laser sounds like something that might be able to not output any light in the areas it wants

but i honestly dunno

[olive sable]

i could probably add an externel lens that does this, but idk how i would make it do it automatically

[fast pagoda]

i searched briefly

and

looking bleak lmao

even very recently it seeems to still be a mostly unsolved and possible never to be solved issue

i did see that a gray projection surface makes it better

[olive sable]

the projecotr i have rn has a dynamic iris, which jsut like a cemra lets less light through. laser projectors can do this more acuratly but cost more.
in terms of blockign the black bars at the top and bottom i cant find much

[fast pagoda]

yeah they can block some but apparently even like triple lasers cant fully block

[olive sable]

my projecotr does have a setting to block input pixel output on the sides, but those still let the backlight shine through. so it helps slightly for netflix where the ouput isnt completely rgb 0, 0, 0. but it doesnt help for fully blocking

[fast pagoda]

if you want to spend $17,000 usd you could have 100,000:infinity contrast

[olive sable]

[fast pagoda]

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/jvc-dlanz800-d-ila-8k-4k-laser-home-projector-2700lm-1000001-native-contrast-8k-60p-4k-120p-hdr10--frame-adapt-hdr-black/J7GH48R3KP

$2,000 off!!!

what was he expecting lmaao

[olive sable]

4K native and then shakes the screen in 4 directions by half a pixel offset to get 8K

im pretty sure mine does the same for 1080p to 4K

only 2 directions tho so its only half a 4K

damn, they have anime in the marketing material
based

[fast pagoda]

it says it shifts them diagonally that's neat

[olive sable]

ye

[fast pagoda]

it apparently on the fly tonemaps to each frame

idk if that's impressive

but it sounds impressive to me

i am now prepared to spend the bargain $17k for this

[olive sable]

"2700 lumens" mine is 3000 im better

at that specific part

[fast pagoda]

it should be $100,000

[patent shard]

the high contrast probably dims it a lot

so, technically...

[fast pagoda]

eya same with the monitor version i'd think

[olive sable]

i wonder what kind of tech the cinema projectors have. cuz at those sizes they must be like 40000 lumens in brightness. iirc they're only 4K tho

[fast pagoda]

hey bestbuy says it's time to upgrayyd that sub

imax uses 2 laser projectors at the laser ones

like wholly separate units

[olive sable]

hmmm

but why?

just like half a 8K?

diagonal pixel offset just like my projector does?

[fast pagoda]

no

they both overlay

makes it brighter

[olive sable]

so its not even a resolution thing? just throwing more lumens at it?

[fast pagoda]

apparently imax laser brightness is

22 footlamberts

not joking on the measurement

[olive sable]

what

[fast pagoda]

22 footlamberts

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-surprised-what-confused-the-wire-gif-5120016

[olive sable]

i guess its area

[fast pagoda]

yeah brightness per area

[olive sable]

from what i can find, they're 60000+ lumens

so about 20x as bright

[fast pagoda]

oh you meant the bulb

lule

[olive sable]

ouput

ye

[fast pagoda]

i was looking at brightness at the screen

for me imax has always just been the sound

i dgaf about the visual

i mean it's cool

but the sound is why i'm there

[olive sable]

for a screen more than 50 times larger than what i have, i guess the 60K makes sense

cuz 75 nits is honeslty pretty fucking dim

[fast pagoda]

yeah and why the brightness is only 75 nits lmao

tbf not exactly a lot of ambient light in your average operating imax auditorium

helps with contrast prob to be as dim as is necessary

[olive sable]

i mean, we watch movies msotly at night so that isnt reall an issue here either,a nd its bright enough at day too

[fast pagoda]

Your projector do be set to disintigration mode

[olive sable]

i found something called CIH System that supposedlt helps with black bars

but it looks an sounds expenisve

[olive sable]

no not the virus

[fast pagoda]

maybe they branched out

[olive sable]

Constant Image Height

[fast pagoda]

these CIH people are sus

[olive sable]

if i already cant find anything for sale on google shopping, i know i cant afford it 😭

[fast pagoda]

OHHH

that's the motorized projector lens thing

appparently you can use anamorphic lenses to do something like CIH

[olive sable]

that distorts the image to fit

i dont think i want that

[fast pagoda]

projector with an anamorphic lens

[olive sable]

looks sick ngl

[fast pagoda]

i think it compensates the geometry

with zoom

or some shit

[olive sable]

ye

[fast pagoda]

It relies on the projector (or external scaler) to squeeze all content so that the anamorphic lens can then stretch it out to its proper geometry.

[olive sable]

i guess it distorts the input so the lens distortion will be canceled out?

[fast pagoda]

yeah

so it distorts it then the lens actually just adjusts to correct it

rather than the other way around

[olive sable]

end result being the black bars get zoomed out and now are offscreen

[fast pagoda]

and it apparently can't be very noticable if people pay money for it lmfao

[olive sable]

then the screen that gets projected on needs to expand in the horizontal axis tho

[fast pagoda]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_p42vT3T8g&t=5s

[olive sable]

oh

he has black bars in 16:9 so he doesn't have them in 2.35:1 😭

i guess those dont have any light from the projector on it tho

[fast pagoda]

looks like it works well enough

[olive sable]

Constant Image Width also exists apparently

and it literally just masks the top and bottom

instead of doing zoom shananigans

[fast pagoda]

imax projectors are liquid cooled

[olive sable]

i keep forgetting the emote is called wicked

[fast pagoda]

mfw :glassesguy doesnt do it

[olive sable]

i search "rad" "tubuler" and always cant find it

this is slang from before my time, froma different continent i live in

[fast pagoda]

it's before my time too

let's go

im younger than something

[olive sable]

my projector doesnt have motorised lenses cuz it was 200 bucks cheaper and i thought "ill set it once and leave it like that for years" but i guess for this stuff you kinda need it

ill just live with the black bars

[fast pagoda]

apparently you dont want a DLP projector if you want contrast

[olive sable]

oops

[fast pagoda]

it's lcos

that you wwant

liquid crystal on silicon

[olive sable]

the cheapest lcos stuff i could find were really old sonys

[fast pagoda]

yeah it's spency

was about to say

[olive sable]

and i need to have hdcp 2.2 for netflix and prime

[fast pagoda]

looking at hthe "best laser projectors this year!!"" results in an article showing this as the movie room you'd be having this installed in

and the projector is $80,000

[olive sable]

well, cheapest 4K. my requients are 4K 60hz, low latency for gaming, and high brightness. if possible hdr

i think i did quite well fitting those requirements

[olive sable]

too large. this feels like a hotel lobby instead of a family gathering

i dont need space for my 5 butlers and personal chefs besides me

[fast pagoda]

i do

and their butlers and personal chefs need to be with them for support

and so on

[olive sable]

https://youtu.be/Jsw0uOak3Z8?si=OofevPz1cONjFBv9
i want one of these

their quote website is broken

i doubt its not 4 numbered price tho

[fast pagoda]

there were static screens in that size going for like 5-6000 bux on bestbuy

so definitely not less than that prob

[olive sable]

[fast pagoda]

time to buuild an nvidia 3d surround monitor wall instead

[olive sable]

i think it would honestly be cheaper to get 2 retractable motorized screens, and install them in-front of each-other, than to buy one that does the masking

[fast pagoda]

you could get outdoor projector screens

surely there's no difference in the surface or anything

[olive sable]

[fast pagoda]

put this unit in your dining room

[olive sable]

nah

160 inch

[fast pagoda]

24 footer

[olive sable]

honeslty, id still have 400 nits at that size

the problem is getting it in my house

[fast pagoda]

you could start a drive in theatre

[olive sable]

i have star wars 4, 5, and 6 on dvd, and kong foo panda 2

from what i can find, since my projector doesn't have a detatcheble lens, i wont be able to use anamorphic nor zoom to fix the black bars

and since im not gonna be manually zooming, it wil have to be the screen side that changes aspect

[hard raptor]

so... did i cook?

[olive sable]

this kinda reminds me of stranger things intro for some reason

[hard raptor]

i mean..

i did use some emulations of classic synths

mainly this one in the beginning, but the other synths that do like to choir and the strings and stuff probably also have some form of classic sound to them

[nocturne olive]

Wizardry !!
-# Now make Teto Teto In the Wonder Night

[obsidian mantle]

[hard raptor]

Also the FX chain on 1 Group
consisting of:

• NI Replika XT (Silly delay thing)
• Arturia Chorus Jun-6 (Classic sounding Chorus)
• Arturia Tape Mello-Fi (Silly tape Lo-Fi maker thingy)
• FabFilter Pro-MB (Multiband Compressor to iron out some annoying frequencies)

[obsidian mantle]

to my uneducated taste drum stick is too sharp

does it sound too bland completely without it

[hard raptor]

on 5 Augmented (one of the bass strings arp instruments)
i have a compressor (Arturia Comp FET-76) to make the attack less extreme
and another Replika XT

[rigid snow]

drum stick too sharp will puncture drum membrane

[hard raptor]

that's basically all the FX i have applied so far

[olive sable]

[hard raptor]

imma make a recording of when effects are off and when they on

[olive sable]

i think the cheapest way to do this would be a pi with hdmi in that periodically scans at which aspect ratio the input is, and then it activates some sort of servo motor to move a sheet of some light blocking mterial

[olive sable]

i can barely hear the "WET"

[hard raptor]

that's because the wet part is more for extra noise

[olive sable]

[hard raptor]

these are the main strings

[olive sable]

what does wet or dry mean here btw?

[hard raptor]

dry means no fx wet means with fx

[olive sable]

is that a standard in the music industry?

[hard raptor]

yes

[olive sable]

i see

[hard raptor]

this recording gonna be wild

no wait i should also do a main strings only section

so that you can hear what the group thing actually adds

but no lowering the polling rate did fix it

what the fuck unity

[nocturne olive]

Buy the entire stock and resell it for 4x the profit

[rigid snow]

is this exclusive to unity

it shouldn’t be

afaik 8khz polling rate on mice just does that

if your pc is slow enough

[trim valve]

iirc this used to be a bigger issue on older win10 stuff too

newer versions do some level of sending less mouse events to "less important" windows or something

[olive sable]

I think so ye

[faint sandal]

it still lags in abandoned archive on latest insider 11

[olive sable]

[faint sandal]

it's the only game engine that does that on my computer

[maiden geyser]

osu does the same thing i think

[trim valve]

[faint sandal]

all the other games are fine for me

[trim valve]

which osu?

[hard raptor]

[maiden geyser]

[olive sable]

I guess the os inputbuffer is fixed but the one unity uses still lags at 8khz???

[faint sandal]

it's reproducible across all unity-based software that I use

including vts

[olive sable]

[trim valve]

yeah stable freaks the fuck out at 8khz

[maiden geyser]

another w for stable

[hard raptor]

don't think it will be worked on as much tho.. since i only thought of introducing it after namespacing caused full store overwrites when i added a new feature to prevent immediate saves and turned that feature on

[obsidian mantle]

is there a reason why they always put (newline) before printing in sicp

i can imagine the downside of it, but cant imagine any upsides

the downside is you have to put newline before typing shit in terminal or it will continue typing it on same line with last printed output

like this shit will display something like

x

and i will type and it will go

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/z7tZsp

Currently using an x870 board but if I switch to a good x670E I can run 5.0x8x2 to slap in my unused 3090 and also fix the lanes to my SSDs.

Probably gonna pop a breaker lol.

[nocturne olive]

Why both a 3090 and 5090?

The two can't easily work on the same task without trickery

[stray dragon]

why not https://pcpartpicker.com/product/GwtLrH/asrock-phantom-gaming-pg-1600g-1600-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-pg-1600g

less cost, more watts, A rating

[young plover]

I shoved a spare be quiet fan in a noisy Corsair rm1000e that I got from an RMA, and was happy with how that worked. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[young plover]

I can do trickery. I've run CLIP and stable diffusion hypernetwork training on different devices before.

[scenic depot]

Does making AI from scratch hard?

[nocturne olive]

The biggest issue really is that both of them have different VRAM and compute
So you kinda need to balance them or the 3090 will slow it down

[nocturne olive]

Depends on arch and what you want it to do

[scenic depot]

I tried to make one, just for offline chatting

It's working fine

[nocturne olive]

As in an LLM?

[scenic depot]

Basically? I guess

[nocturne olive]

What do you mean by "from scratch" in this case?

[scenic depot]

I just made it so if it doesn't find a response in the data file it'll make me train it by making the response itself like

User: Test
AI: no response, make the response blah blah
response: Test1

User: Test
AI: Test1

[nocturne olive]

So you're just making a big database of question-answer combos?

[scenic depot]

Technically yea

[nocturne olive]

That's not an LLM nor an AI

[scenic depot]

I watched

Vedal's

LLM tutorial

😭

I made typo corrections tho and slangs meanings

[young plover]

Yeah the CLIP is much easier so I'd put that on the 3090

[scenic depot]

I'm not actually going to make a full "AI" it takes a lot of storage

[nocturne olive]

Making an actually usable LLM from scratch at home using local hardware is kinda difficult considering the small VRAM

[scenic depot]

I made it for offline purposes if I have no one to talk to cuz I have no friends irl

[vast jewel]

Don't MoE llms handle gpu + cpu setups well? I imagine it would also perform well on mixed gpu setups.

[nocturne olive]

Eh, takes lesss than a database of question-answer pairs eventually

[nocturne olive]

Inference and training are not the same thing

[scenic depot]

It's simple enough

Only a few lines of code

I think it's fineee

[vast jewel]

Oh oops I stopped reading the original message exactly before the word "training"

[nocturne olive]

Sil

I'd personally just stack a bunch of 3090s or other identical GPUs

[vast jewel]

Local training is crazy anyway

[nocturne olive]

Not really, at least for non-LLM models

[young plover]

I'm just screwing around and already have a 3090 and 5090

[nocturne olive]

Sil

My PC is kinda silly, I have a 3090 for ML because I need the VRAM and then there's the 4070Ti for gaming

If I had the money I would build a second PC with either 4090D 48GB or a couple 3090s

NeuroSynth still takes a while to train even with 512 batch size on a 3090

[young plover]

I trained a huge 100,000+ sample SD1.5 hypernet on my 3090 at batch size 1
Just learn patience

[nocturne olive]

Batch size 1 will be so terrible quality

[young plover]

? Worked fine

[nocturne olive]

Did you use gradient accumulation then?

[stone loom]

To make AI you're gonna need

NLP, NLU, NLG aaand
Error handling, Knowledge and Reasoning
Personality and uhh adaption
Context Management
Or you could do ML and also add TTS and STT for speaking stuff

[young plover]

Yeah

[stone loom]

"simple enough" is crazy trying to rebuild AI from scratch

[young plover]

With fairly small groups though. I used low learning rates and wasn't training for a specific style or thing.

[obsidian mantle]

dont batches only affect overall speed of training

[young plover]

Which I think mitigates the issues with small batches? Dunno, never took a machine learning course.

[obsidian mantle]

you dont calculate million things thousand times you calculate thousand things thousand times or smth like that?

whats the point of batches

[nocturne olive]

It affects both compute saturation and the generalization of the model

Higher batch size will saturate the compute better and the model will generalize better
NeuroSynth on batch sizes around 4 is unusable, but 512 is extremely good

Unusable as in highly unstable output that constantly drops out on long notes

[obsidian mantle]

i had impresson that it doesnt work like that for some reason

dont you train it the same way on the same data but in separated samples

it should work like you described if we have some undetermined things during training

[nocturne olive]

With higher batch sizes you generalize more because you take the average of a bigger chunk of the data at once

[young plover]

If I understand correctly the samples in a batch cross-bleed so if multiple samples have something in common it gets reinforced better.

[nocturne olive]

You train on more of the data in a single weights update

And as NeuroSynth clearly demonstrates, batch size does matter
High batch size is absolutely needed for NS to sound good

[obsidian mantle]

i can probably make better decisions if i invert my "knowledge"

will be more accurate

[scenic depot]

I literally did most of these

There's already NLU, NLG, learning and adapting, and typo detection.

I know it's very limited

[maiden geyser]

oh, the sprout user

so i can

[sage crag]

me can put fried potato in your brain ye

bone saw

cut open cranium

put chip in

elmer's glue

[rigid snow]

will i be able to instantly transcribe any melody or chord progression i come up

[sage crag]

glue skull back

[sage crag]

no

you will have potato in your head

[rigid snow]

then i dont agree to such procedure

[sage crag]

wrong

[rigid snow]

you have no signed contract

i sue

[sage crag]

you think that

but that after i already put chip in your brain

probably dont remember due to chip

[rigid snow]

how do i see potato

[sage crag]

uuh

[rigid snow]

bone saw

[sage crag]

remove elmer's glue

[rigid snow]

i can’t find (probably due to chip)

What do you think guys?

[rigid snow]

that’s insane

[hearty notch]

i bought a year of vps from scalahosting for similar

https://www.scalahosting.com/web-hosting-for-small-business.html

i used this to test frankengit lol

its just sitting there now im gonna deploy a homelab storage system soon

only 10gb tho

so like

lmao

storage is so expensive 128gb is p killer

whats your provider

this is gemini 3 pro's guess

[mint shuttle]

rifty.org

[hearty notch]

nice ty

interesting

[mint shuttle]

If you planning to buy it, don't forget limit your bandiwth speed based on your plan thru support, (if LCX), or they ban ya /:

[hearty notch]

good to know

but they say inf traffic how can they do that smh

[rigid snow]

ye the last point is what i was thinking too gemini, an ipv4 IS usually worth around that

[mint shuttle]

Network Fair Use. Use must not adversely impact other Users or DePowered's infrastructure. 95th-percentile bandwidth may be managed based on overall load and plan tier. Excessive usage may be throttled or suspended. Material or repeated abuse may lead to Service termination with a no refund right. Traffic and/or bandwidth is not limited unless usage exceeds the approximate monthly 95th-percentile. Indicative thresholds per plan are:
Plan 95th percentile limit
KVM Promo 1 Mbit/s
VPS Start 5 Mbit/s
VPS Start+ 8 Mbit/s
VPS Advanced 20 Mbit/s
VPS Business 40 Mbit/s
VPS Professional 50 Mbit/s
VPS Professional+ 65 Mbit/s

[rigid snow]

with that bandwidth tho

not much you can do

[hearty notch]

i can test my own intelligent bandwidth throttling xd

wait wrong screenshot

i didnt even know they had this policy but since i knew they had good taste in lang (scala) i knew theyd be good about things like this

[rigid snow]

i pay 3€ for a lxc (not even a proper vm yeah) with like the lowest end specs - 1 vcpu, 1 gb, 10gb hdd - but i basically only need it for bandwidth and it comes with 150mbit and unlimited traffic

i have had a similar but better deal before but at a much less reputable provider. the ip was in some lists

that’s a tradeoff too

[hearty notch]

ok they dated my invoice wrong and my renewal was about to happen on the wrong date so DONT TRUST SCALAHOSTING I NO LONGER RECOMMEND SCALAHOSTING

yeah

media hosting

[hearty notch]

pirate hats are black i suppose

[mint shuttle]

Nuh, just for memes, shit posts and etc

[hearty notch]

oh nice lol

[mint shuttle]

and maybe host some game servers

[hearty notch]

im actually trying to develop an app so that you can save+store+search across all devices cross platform with one unified interface but self hosted unlike cloud hosted like dropbox

would u wanna test when im at that stage

[mint shuttle]

if you dont mind, yeah

[hearty notch]

yay

[mint shuttle]

i have wsl Linux, win 10, and can run Mac OS thru Virtualbox

[hearty notch]

nice

do you have or would you want win 11 pro or win 10 pro

theres a feature im using (nfs) that needs pro

keys are cheap i can buy you one

though tbh i should just make it robust to home

i think i can

its probably not that big a diff in the end

[mint shuttle]

I have Win 10 PRO installed rn, 100% Legally activated (get.***.)

[hearty notch]

nice you already have full compat out the box then

on the windows part

ye itll probably be like 2-3 weeks

[amber fractal]

I should have stolen this gif a long time ago

[olive sable]

since getting a projector, my mom now also wants a projector in the living room so we don't have a big black rectangle on the wall

[maiden geyser]

have you tried using it for maskless photolithography yet

[hazy acorn]

guys, how much smaller does my GPU VRAM have to be before using CPU RAM becomes preferable?

[fast pagoda]

That's a good idea yeah open a tsmc in your house

[fast pagoda]

What

[hazy acorn]

for local llm stuff

[fast pagoda]

It's never going to be preferable to use the CPU ram but you can offload stuff to it while also using vram

[nocturne olive]

It's always preferable to use VRAM as much as possible

[hazy acorn]

ok

[fast pagoda]

You want to offload less critical stuff to the system ram

And keep the model in vram

[nocturne olive]

CPU RAM to GPU is stupid slow, CPU inference is really slow

[hazy acorn]

my online shop search history included "TPU"

weewoo

[fast pagoda]

The more layers you offload to system ram, the shower it'll get, you should be able to specify

[tender river]

chat, do your antennas wobble

[rigid snow]

am i supposed to have antennas

i can’t find any antennas (probably due to potato chip konii installed in my brain)

[maiden geyser]

your router, at least

good if you have some on yourself

[rigid snow]

they don't wobble unl;ess i wobble the,m

[maiden geyser]

can you make it wobble for a real one

[fast pagoda]

i dont often wobble my antennae

my pc's antenna is on a wire and magnetic so i hang it off the desk and it wobbles when i kick the shit out of it by accident

[maiden geyser]

for some reason only 1 antenna out of 4 wobbles on my router

cursed

[fast pagoda]

i'd say 0 of mine wobble

like

without being touchedd

they dont wobble so much that i dont actually know what you're referring to

[silent cloak]

I just had kind of an interesting idea

I kind of want to make an AR based IDE kind of like what Jarvis does

mostly for planning large architectures

[rigid snow]

step 1 acquire apple vision pro

[silent cloak]

and prototyping

[silent cloak]

na a lot of phones have AR built in these days

[rigid snow]

LMAO you're gonna do it with a phone

have you ever used any ar app

[silent cloak]

as a proof of concept first probably

[silent cloak]

yeah i helped beta test the one minecraft had back in the day

it used to heat my phone up like lava

[rigid snow]

that was one of the better ones

honestly

[silent cloak]

it wasnt tbh

it really sucked on google's ARCore

the devs i spoke to were struggling

i still have the app on my old phone but it wont turn on anymore

[rigid snow]

yeah that was killed a long time ago

[silent cloak]

ye

everyone including the developers knew

but AR was trending

[rigid snow]

i honestly don't know anything better for your particular idea

a quest would suck

[silent cloak]

i mean ill see with the steam frame

[rigid snow]

that's not even built with ar in mind like at all, at least the quests are

[silent cloak]

inside out tracking

I was able to get a proximity on the vive cosmos using the same back in like 2020

[rigid snow]

steam frame has IR cameras for tracking AND passthrough

so, monochrome

[silent cloak]

well no id probably have to mount my own faceplate

still its mostly as a concept

the hardware is less of my concern compared to trying to make the software itself work in a smooth fashion

3D modeling is one of those things I wish I could do in AR and a bunch of other designing steps too

[rigid snow]

vr+ar=xr

is that what xr is

[silent cloak]

shame we cant have holograms yet

i thought we could figure out something close to the northern lights at least

[hearty notch]

oki ye

yea try this troubleshooting first I'll be back in like 6h if you still need a key

[silent cloak]

my old one i got with my PC was automatically added back in the day

so i assume the same will apply to u if u ever had an account on it

[hearty notch]

wait cipher are you really making vedals secret 2 lmfao

[silent cloak]

yes

[rigid snow]

this is what happened to me lol
bought a laptop in beginning of 2015 with win8.1 oem license
windows 10 comes out, free upgrade, w10 license gets attached to microsoft account
install linux on laptop
build pc, install w10, log in with microsoft, instantly activates with that license
w10 approaches eol, free upgrade to w11, license still applies

Agentic browsing
people can't even Google for themselves these days?

💀

[faint sandal]

oh no i specifically asked it to fill in certain information for me that would usually require opening up multiple tabs and several minutes of searches and copypasting

and then it ended up doing the same task longer than it would have taken if i were to do it myself

for example I asked it to fill in a certain card on Notion with trip itinerary and plot out the relevant time and transit information in the card

[obsidian mantle]

they kind of skipped 50 pages of maths to hint here so it doesnt look like nonsense question

[faint sandal]

it took a whole minute trying to figure out how to set starting time in google maps

[obsidian mantle]

annoying shit

classically you wont be able to test because need special mit edition lisp

vacuum programming

[hearty notch]

i mean have you seen the state of google results no one wants to deal with that

and who's heard of a fuckin kagi

[obsidian mantle]

and it gets worse in further exercises

nvm its not that bad if you ignore the math

just ignore the math and if it doesnt work try to change something until it works

works every time

[obsidian mantle]

naming things is hard okay

I Cannot Believe Linus Sebastian has Collaborated With Linus Torvalds

[warm river]

guys can someone tell me what the fuck can cause this fucking shitty static noise in speakers, volume doesnt matter it will do that noise if speaker is just on, it happens on battery so its not grounding issue, i reseated it multiple times, replaced speaker with newer one, nothing

[olive sable]

shitty amplifier?

oh is it the laptop speakers again? i thought we were talking about a bt speaker

[nocturne olive]

If you're on Linux I remember a video about something to do with something like that I don't know

[clear sedge]

"let's use the builder pattern except not actually"

[obsidian mantle]

have you tried different os

[warm river]

yes

lmde

[warm river]

i hate windows, i tried lmde, linux mint, arch, nixos same

[warm river]

laptop speakers

[obsidian mantle]

i mean not switch entirely, i mean you load different os to test how it behaves

[nocturne olive]

Then try to find whatever video I remember about Linux audio whatever it is

[obsidian mantle]

if it works fine on some other os then its driver problem

[warm river]

i searched whole google and any solution didnt work

[obsidian mantle]

and you have to find proper drivers for nix or make them yourself or live with crackling speakers

[clear sedge]

it might still be a driver issue even if it universally doesn't work, they might just be shit at making drivers across the board

[obsidian mantle]

just boot up different os from flashdrive to test

[olive sable]

i think the laptop might jst have a shitty audio chip or driver. it either broke via software update or the mobo degraded

maybe some resistor fell off or the audio chip degraded

[warm river]

idk what drivers should i install, thinkpad l14 gen 2 btw

[clear sedge]

idk i don't use thinkpads

[warm river]

it just started happening randomly

[obsidian mantle]

what drivers does manufacturer have?

[warm river]

i know that chip is realtek

thats all what i know

[clear sedge]

realtek my behated

[warm river]

windows.

i use Linux

[olive sable]

does linux not use similair rivers?

is there no linux tab?

[obsidian mantle]

if windows fixed it, you need diffeent drivers for nix

but we do not know if its even drivers issue

because you refuse to test it

or maybe we could find drivers for realtek directly

but it doesnt mean they are perfect

usually laptop manufactures have better drivers than separate hardware manufacturers

because sometimes guys who make laptop change something and it needs slighly different driver

[olive sable]

sudo dnf install alsa-sof-firmware

[warm river]

yea debian doesnt have that package

[olive sable]

sudo apt install sof-firmware alsa-ucm-conf firmware-intel-sound

[warm river]

and i installed firmware-sof-signed already

[warm river]

i got all

[olive sable]

[obsidian mantle]

linux cant do that

[olive sable]

disable power saving?

[warm river]

disabled

[obsidian mantle]

is it completely random

when it happens

[clear sedge]

sudo apt purge *nvidia* <-- this command fixes all nvidia related issues btw

[olive sable]

for the laptop or the audio manager like pulseaudio?

[olive sable]

i think that would brick my pc ngl

[clear sedge]

it wouldn't brick mine

(i'm on fedora)
