i've considered every judges decision against me a partial victory for being able to tank the other guy for the full 3 minutes.
I never noticed what the hell
he sure looks like he'd be his dad

is that chris in the yellow shirt then
Nah Chris wasn't on the team for this one apparently, there's no Chris in the name listings
Just Richard Broad
But that robot was a fan favourite so I seen he showed up for some of its many appearances
I wonder what the rules must be like for robot wars in terms of what you can build
You know I miss Robot Wars, I tried watching BattleBots recently but the vibes just aren't there by comparison
I imagine there's a ton of room to bend the rules
Like it's fine but it's just not as good TV
chris at 14:25
Its so crazy to me that that's the kid that would become the Chris Broad we know
it turns out everyone was a kid once
You wouldn't be able to tell
unless they're not human
people pop up all over the place
Dude thanks for that trivia I'm gonna annoy my family with it now
that's what i live for
even they will have a mind that was shaped by thousands of people who were once kids.
so it's likely that the right prompting and self-reflection could result in beliefs identical to someone who was once a kid, with just the same feeling of truthiness as everyone else.
i see these old series and they are so limited because they didn't have to same high density power sources we have now. they're using old battery tech like gas powered cars use, not the batteries like electric cars use. they're also limited by safety. the walls can only be so thick. between the lack of available power and the need for safety, they have some constraints. these days most robots use fast spinning weapons instead of swinging weapons, either mounted vertically or horizontally.
it'd be interesting if language was necessary for thought
We have words for most of things actually
Its not that language is necessary for thought. Its that with language we can describe thoughts
well, it'd still mean that not all AI models must have been a kid once
not necessarily language but something like tokens. categories that could be used to reference gthings.
Its kind of what they do
new rules: the opponent isn't defeated until their LiPo battery is punctured
i think any which could communicate and understand you correctly probably could imagine having a childhood to some extent.
we're not really talking anything concrete ofc, but you still just mean one could imagine it, not that all experienced it; an LLM isn't really experiencing anything during training
well, maybe in reinforcement learning
Cover the battery with 10cm lead plate and attatch wheels to it 
opponent covers them in a tarp and overheats them
right
most events don't particularly like LiPo fires because of safety reasons. the organization who runs the events i go to doesn't mind as much because their arenas are designed to evacuate the smoke and they have house bots in the arena with fire extinguishers too.
and fire looks cool. (they also allow robots with flamethrowers)
a part of me just wants to see something like robot wars with zero regard for safety
no... you need safety. Its do able safely with bigger weapons.
they start getting outfitted with APFSDS rounds
it's just with 250lb robots, it's hard to do it safely with big weapons.
or high explosive anti tank ammunition
Took a linguistics class in college and there was an interesting part about how human language can express things that other relatively intelligent animals like Orcas and Chimps can't.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hockett's_design_features
Like talking about things which aren't currently happening.
Whether the ability to think about those ideas is tied to language... 🤷♂️
Hockett's Design Features are a set of features that characterize human language and set it apart from animal communication. They were defined by the linguist Charles F. Hockett in the 1960s. He called these characteristics the design features of language. Hockett originally believed there to be 13 design features. While primate communication ut...
although I guess what I'm asking for is real, just outside of a sports context now =\
put the battle arena in desert.
Are they not using military grade actual combat robots out there yet
we will get Gundam in 10 years
they are
and we've had drone on drone combat for a while now
actual "no holds barred" robot wars would be boring because it'd just be the first to hack the other robots.
Drones are lame
but there are ground drones in use now too
FPV drones are lame
and the ground drones have officially taken part in combat operations now
as transport?
no, combat
The future is now 
I believe there was even footage of a ground drone taking prisoners
but I assume saying details would break some kind of rule on this discord
the ground drones are given grenade launchers, mortars, and other small arms
first write the video game, then integrate your AI to be a player, and then some magic happens you swap out your game for a military contract and drink away your guilt with the millions they pay you. ;/

so, ender's game?
basically yeah, but for an AI and with no worse sequels.
there aren't any ground drones that I'm aware of that have seen combat that are actually autonomous though
feels like they should be quite effective in sabotage mission.
i gave up on my autonomous ground vehicle after it crashed ay high speed in to a curb it didn't see in a parking lot, destroying the mount for the sensor array that couldn't see things at 45 degree angles. it's probably worse navigating when you're larger than a cat.
afaik they're all driven by people.
Just wondering, does anyone have experience with bluetooth AoA?
what about it specifically? i'm a little familiar with some related topics (phased antenna arrays and microphone arrays) but not much more than the basics.
I was looking at the phased antenna arrays. wondering how accurate would it be
might be able to setup a decent Bluetooth based VR tracking system or something
that was one of my (failed) project from last year lol
i think you'd need to sample it with multiple objects at once to tell what sort of rates and resolution you'd get.
it might have too slow of an update rate when there are multiple devices or it might jitter a lot when you are still, or it might be quite granular, only giving you exact multiples of 6 inches for example.
it also might work perfectly.
there also might be ways of avoiding any of the other problems too, like smoothing multiple frames of data together or forcing some hard assumptions on where you can be when things don't make sense, or overclocking it or otherwise hacking some code to give you higher resolutions.
and use multiple different solution (a combination of video and hardware) to bypass noise.
but in the end, I have limited experience with hardware stuff. It was ratherhard to evaluate.
at least back then, I found several solution (with api) aimed toward warehouse level tracking
but 1 meter accuracy would be quite funny
1 meter accuracy when Neuro is driving a tank towards you is scary enough thank you.
you know what, a RFID based VR tracking system might be interesting
slap down 8 RFID reader. since it can calculate distance between reader and the tag. might be able to map everything with that boundary
what would be the tangible benefit over, well, a number of other similar options?
you could also just have lots of tags scattered around you and one reader, kinda like GPS maybe?
I am not sure if the reader can get the direction data. Therefore, it might need multiple reader with to calculate the location.
let's say uhh, in comparison to having a bunch of ARTags
and the tags are cheap
would the reader also need to be pretty beefy?
how well would it scale compared to, say, EM tracking?
right, I forgot about that aspect of the problem. I guess a tag would not transmit the orientation data
I guess a $0.1 to $1.5 tag wouldn't cut it after all
cheap tags would just echo the pulse which activated them back, potentially modulating it. but the sender/receiver is getting multiple signals back with different strengths that it can use to determine distances and then use those and some math to work out where it is in relation to all the signals.
so the tracker would need some level of processing power
I think it has build in RSSI
on the tracker side
and they are plenty of off shelf tracker cost around 15-30 USD
but we don't have any orientation data relating to the tag
i know there are algorithms in computer vision which take 8 or more points from multiple directions and use that to construct what those postions and directions were. i think you'd need a similar number of passive points that you're tracking to be able to reliably track things. if you have other constraints you could reduce that.
the easiest way to get orientation data is to use multiple trackers at one location.
with 3 trackers in a triangle you know where they all are and you know what their angles are to each other, so you know what direction they are facing
what happens if the tag rotates at the same XYZ location
multiple tags i means. sorry.
worth a shot
so i was looking for RAM references but every stick had the brand cover and i wanted to draw the one without it and i searched "naked ram"
i now remember Rem has a pink haired twin
4 at minimum
but the more you have the more reliable, especially as some points get obstructed
i think the algorithm was intended for noisy data.
a decent optical tracker with 4 passive markers can get you sub-millimetre accuracy though
and cloth/body will obstruct signal strength as well
the sub-mm ones I'm talking about are $30k minimum though
VR is only fun until your arms get tired from all the ill thought out user interfaces.
the gorilla arm problem
damn, I tried optical tracking as well. I mean cheap webcam based solution
people want to have the sci-fi arms waving in the air interfaces, but they don't realize how tiring those get very quickly
yeah, the ones I'm referring to are things like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/167701345937
and then I realized with low end optic tracking, I am not going to beat any of the existing solution lol
but they're also for an industry where a single disposable Electromagnetically tracked needle is a couple thousand dollars
Latency 17 ms
these are for tracking surgical tools, hence the sub millimeter accuracy
you could combine optical tracking with accelerometer and gyroscope data, using the optical to detect the true horizon and direction.
for sure
but you can get the "at home" version of this tracker using a webcam and paper markers
we've had high school interns demonstrate feasibility using printed out paper trackers before using the actually expensive tracker
because high school interns are amazing at destroying >$20k equipment
With multiple camera?
you can do stereo cameras with opencv quite easily.
multiple webcams was what I've seen but
some algorithms and methods can work with one
the hardest part is getting them synchronized but for things which aren't moving much being 1/2 a frame out of sync usually isn't a problem and tends to fix itself when it is.
I do remember reading a paper relating to mutli-camera setup
interesting maybe I should revist that
I believe if you have certain fixed setups you can pull off ArUco marker-based tracking without multiple cameras
if you have a moving camera you can try doing monocular-SLAM stuff but that was all academic papers. it basically does fake stereo vision by comparing between frames where the camera has moved and identifying the same points and by using parallax it gets depth and after a few samples it knows the position.
I used to see SLAM everywhere but I feel like it's all been replaced by AI/deep learning
maybe there is an AI version of it now that works better
and frankly, deep learning solutions have done way better
without writing an essay, one project we've kept coming back to is doing tracking of a bronchoscope using only monocular vision
because multiple cameras increases the size of the bronchoscope significantly and EM tracking can get expensive and annoying
and we used to try doing it with SLAM or Shape from Shading but they've never been better than incredibly jank
it actually feels pretty feasible with AI though
and AI-based solutions cut through artifacts like mucus and bleeding a lot better
i think the problem is likely specular highlights coz of the nature of the surfaces inside of people and where the light has to be coming from so you can see. any reflections of light that change based on angle are difficult to model and acount for.
although more recently we've relied on reconstructing the image in 3D from a monocular image using GAN and then going from there, but people have tried all-in-one-model solutions for tracking that way
AI based solutions also deal pretty well with specular highlights, but even then, specular highlights can be removed with traditional algorithms pretty well
the bigger issue tends to be movement from breathing or when mucus just completely fills up an airway
sounds like a classification problem
you also are always dealing with a single known light source
movement between frames also screws with traditional SLAM coz it makes position paradoxes "that one dot can't be in two different places..."
yeah, and SLAM especially sucked in this environment because features are just less distinct
we barely got SLAM working in perfectly still and dry silicone rubber models
they'd be all "no, i meant the other greyish-pink colored bit next to the blood drop. no... the.. whatever."
and by barely I mean we made it past the first "intersection" before it got utterly lost
images of pig lungs in there if anyone is squeamish
oh, it doesn't reference the earlier SLAM work; that's an earlier AI-based method
Training took about 8 hours for cGAN and 30 hours for 3LcGAN, and less than 0.02 s for the inference of one depth map on a GTX 1080 Ti GPU for both models.
Harvard med school affiliated AI research being done on a 1080 Ti
yeah we did it during covid
and 1080ti
he never asked for anything better
but medical AI models tend to be way, way, wayyyy smaller than anything like an LLM
and Transformer architecture hasn't really made much of an impact either yet
we're still mostly using CNNs and RNNs
same in the financial sector
I've tried training transformer models but they just perform worse for way more resources so far
after all latency matters a lot. but I am the development ops side. so I don't have to worry about that
I think a part of it is that our training data still depends on very tedious manual labour for labeling
we may have a wealth of medical data, but it's not labeled
so you get maybe a few hundred labeled images to train a model
oh, when I say labeled I don't mean like, just a classification
but like, traced organs on images and stuff
I have been getting some pressure from higher ups to incorporate language models in something but I still can't find a decent use-case
we made a internal chat bot with access to company libraries. so maybe that
and call it a day
to throw a bone, I tried throwing in a little chat bot that tries to explain what's going on in a procedure
but it did such a bad job that Neuro probably could've done better
sounds about right.
I know some other labs have been trying to do surgical procedures purely via vision-language-action models, but I can't say how well it's really working yet
like, they have enough to make highlight reels, but that's it

Me in a security risk competition
well who's going to do something silly like expose the internal chat bot to someone outside huh
no way

social security
then they will ask you to make an agent

In the United States, a Social Security number (SSN) is a nine-digit number issued to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and temporary (working) residents under section 205(c)(2) of the Social Security Act, codified as 42 U.S.C. § 405(c)(2). The number is issued to an individual by the Social Security Administration, an independent agency of t...
I've long since learned that there is a class of people where the second you say "it's AI-powered" they'll be happy
the people who even know what an agent means aren't the ones I need to worry about
although more recently I've been making a pitch of "creating hybrid systems combining traditional and AI-based methods"
which usually translates to doing the same task two different ways and taking the result that is better
shoudl i buy it? 
I’m so glad ai has enabled us to construct an or gate
Do you need it?
not really, but pc parts are kinda like the stock market rn
do you believe the "5090 to be $5000 in a year" rumours?
i need to buy while its still low
not 5K
but i can def believe 4K
but can you resell it for 4k
im not gonna be reselling 5090s, so no
i want the 3090s while they're still fresh and cheap
also, we have this->

well, one method being AI and the other being traditional and then an OR gate, but I've seen people call a single If statement "AI" so
Due to our new ai based filtering, we’ve enabled our users to filter out products above or below a certain threshold
how did you manage to do that lmao

oh yeah ik people have been memeing that to death atp

Me when the new flavor of underwater fiber optic cable drops
nom nom nom
I've yet to use a single Siemens medical system UI that seemed like it was designed for humans
They should use the strat that people use on cats where they soak things in hot sauce so cats don’t touch
But with fiber optic cable
sometimes I feel like half the job of an MRI tech is to figure out what is going on in the software interface: https://www.siemens-healthineers.com/magnetic-resonance-imaging/advanced-imaging-applications/syngo-via
its not designed for humans, its for germans

That’s the least dysfunctional medical software I’ve ever seen
Lmao
that's until you find out that everything functions via click and drag
I’ve seen far worse
I suppose you're right
I worked with someone that I.....think worked at Siemens? if not another scanner company
and they claimed that one software imported VTK something like several dozen times, just different versions of it
because each team decided they needed a different version
when I was a student, I used to complain about how convoluted the most popular open source medical imaging software we use was
but then I saw the source code for some propriety software for the same purpose and I never complained about our open source one ever again

gdscript looks like py + kotlin

iirc gd is like py
now the only thing i need to do with this movement is a smooth climb on a small uphill and jump
at least when you complain about an open source thing someone can see the problem and fix it themself. not always what happens with proprietary stuff.
Holy fuck good thing I version controlled and saved my godot project, power just went out
chat am i cooked
Holy qr code
yup
i have a t-shirt with a qrcode like that on it: it crashes some cameras.
it’s much nicer than python
Gdscript is easier for me thats too lazy fr fr
I download the one with .net framework but idk what that does
Is it easier for it to use for Neuro integration?
I might yap here while doing this so I don't get bored and procrastinate lulw
I have no idea about neuro's godot integration, but there's documentation
looks pretty straightforwards to enable the plugin and take a look at it
bunny? 🐰
so there's no way in fuck I could convince a medical device company to volunteer their robot for a neuro stream, but I wonder if there's hypothetically a way to do a neuro performs surgery stream using open source hardware/software and have it be interesting
Do you guys think, using a file for communication between two processes (and calling it IPC) is scuffed?
it normal as long as its socket file
like, a .json file for sending a message to one process. and a .response file for receiving a response
ye you'll run into issues that way 
whaat... is a socket file?
I could set up the legit kind of software they'd use for neurosurgery along with a medical phantom/model, and then I could add Neuro integration to some robotic arms, but I dunno how interesting "Neuro jabs needles into a brain" would be
the current issue I can think of is communications being able to be leaked
so like, anyone can access it
and talk to the processes
if they code it right
it's a Unix thing only I think
would there be any other issues?
synchronization
no easy way to tell if the process has finished writing the file
you have to include something like html content-length or something similar
stupid method either way just do proper ipc
do you mean like
one program writes to a file, and the other reads it?
https://github.com/cassitly/neuro-desktop/blob/dev/desktop/apps/neuro-desktop/src/ipc_handler.rs#L119
it has been working fine so far
yea
because that actually works fine on Windows; I've done it in the past when lazy
but now I need bidirectional comms
actually, I've found it works better on windows than on linux
and there are multiple processes that will start in my program
I need one for python now
I dunno about bidirectional though, I've only done it as a temporary solution for one-way communication
the code has data races
really?
ye
where are they, and what are the conditions?
i've used that general method for updating parameters in a deep learning art project. (writing to a file which the process polls for changes and reloads)
oh
well, how can they be caused
and the data race is you might not finish writing the file before the other program starts reading it
I would want to fix it
so a .lock file is best?
wdyt?
I just don't know how to implement proper IPC
I don't want to link stuff too
then do research 
too complicated
i had to add a delay of a few hundred milliseconds after it detected a change before it started reading, coz the program i was editing with sometimes didn't write it all at once.
but that was only safe because it was human edited
(me)
where would you recommend I research?
i would recommend you to just use grpc 
windows IPC [language name here]
and ye it should be trivial to find if you have basic google skills
windows has bsd sockets too iirc
your issue will be more about being spoiled for choice
never had that issue with the json file i kept my artist and video title info in for the media-player io. 
i remember using pipe files or something :mlntcandy:
so as long as you can make a decision, you can do it
windows has kinda bsd sockets... can't treat them like files though. ;[
I don't
jk-
why cant you just have the programs directly output to each-other?
"Hey Claude Opus 4.5, can you write some basic IPC for me and recommend something to use?"
how do I do that?
claude is expensive, I try to code myself as much as possible. And use claude whenever I've spent hours on a issue I can't fix
"hey chatGPT"
GPT5.2 is just stupid
i really recommend you to start using google more
not on the fs level but you can treat ythem as file handles
I'm too newbie for that atm, gonna read that when I'm sure I can implement that on my own game
i know that for python i could just print whatever i needed as output, and the host program could get it like that
something like this is simple enough for it to not get it wrong most of the time, and it'll be obvious when it's wrong
You guys are my google-
bad
google faster than asking people
ooooh, that is smart actually
chat is only google if it is Nix code 
I'm gonna assume this is universal, but generally no-one likes answering a question that has the premise of "I tried nothing, what do I do?"
for my waybar i do i with prints here
true, I should stop doing that. sorry tho
I mean, technically you did say you were trying to write to files so
you didn't quite try nothing
it works 
I was thinking about what I could improve on my code
so mmphm
you are only reading the output when the writing is done
presumably
probably
and if not its still fine because its not a request-response architecture 
true
guys does this count as programming 🥀
looks like it's a bunch of if statements. 7 segment LED ?
your mistake is assuming this channel is for programming
now that LLMs use natural language for input and output, programming languages are very variable.
it's 8 1-bit memory cells
are you going to start the "is vibe coding programming" debate?
all this for a single byte
i edited this message 3 times i'm crine
and also, if setting up the Difference Engine counts as programming, then that is as well
nice. also: I'm so sorry for the time you spent on that which you'll never get back.
programming doesn't even require it to be for a device that uses electricity
time well spent 👍
like half of this field: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconventional_computing
Unconventional computing (also known as alternative computing or nonstandard computation) is computing by any of a wide range of new or unusual methods.
The term unconventional computation was coined by Cristian S. Calude and John Casti and used at the First International Conference on Unconventional Models of Computation in 1998.
I took an unconventional computing course in uni and we spent time on programming for a theoretical computer made from a time travel machine
i like the implementations of Conway's Game of Life made using virtual computers made from an implementation of the Game of Life.
oh speaking of game of life
they recently invented a 1 block tall automaton that moves 
called spaceship in game of life terminology
how many blocks wide"
I can't find a video, just a forum post
2016 needs to be the year we discover this.
bit off
takes 133076755768 generations to move by 2 cells 
This ship consists of a unidimensional pattern that is a predecessor to a universal constructor. The process of creating a unidimensional universal constructor predecessor was the relatively simple part of the design; having the universal constructor then resynthesize the unidimensional pattern was much more difficult, as all sparks had to disappear before the ship entered its unidimensional phase. Due to symmetry, any one-cell-thick spaceship must move in the direction its length points in.
mhm i totally understand
pretty

luckily for the real universe there isn't such a simple universal underlying mechanism. probably.

rrrr python closure bad 
what the fuck is this channel now

best channel in neurocord
exponential ermfish vs exponential ermsquish
i dont need to know

since #osu is ded all thats left is #programming to be the best
ermsquish takes 4 iterations and ermfish takes 3 iterations
even though they both exponentiate by two, ermsquish is slower
why am I 
3 iteration to halve and 2 iteration to double
did I run out of glue
ye
me head hurt
don't say you've been looking around my house for glue...
me have me own
ok it double every 6 iteration 
make senes
esnse
sense
clearly not 
I just checked and I thought I did have glue but it turns out I actually am glueless

i not ask questions
ohhh my bad
the curve is pow(2, x/6)
ye me lazy just simulate in python

n = 1
for i in range(1002):
if i % 2 == 0:
n *= 2
if i % 3 == 0:
n //= 2
print(math.log2(n))

wait whaaaa
why are you doing integer division by 2 when it's a multiple of 3?
i is unrelated to n
any opinions on if it's normal to have the same block of code across every action like this?
thinking about if I should refactor and fix that
dont like it move to a separate function
you're just describing modularisation lmao
subfunction inside execute_command?
whatever you want 
execute_and_clear or something
code refactoring is primarily for you to maintain the code
not for some abstract notion of clean code

If you can't already tell, I like modularity.
my codebase compiling into multiple binaries, so I don't have to recompile the entire codebase to test a fix I made on something
wrr
hot reload when
hmm, great idea!
airisprod
I'll pin it
nah I'm kidding, hot reload normally recompiles the entire thing anyways
just to be clear its the same
but like having multiple binaries is just... weird
hot reload for specific functionality could be possible
x/2-x/3 is equal to x/6
hot reload compatible, it was future proofed for this!
I didn't even think about that
modular arithmetic always cause interesting
good work, Discord 
i mean right now I'm still trying to figure out how best to design a system that allows me to defer neurontainer's backend stuff to a local process which is running hono dev or smth like that
x/3*6-x/2*6
Discord is truly in Discord
https://files.catbox.moe/56zqv2.mp4 I like my project tbh
I don't get what you mean, but try going to bed or smth. I best get my ideas right before I fall asleep :D
what should I even name the func?
I really dont know what to name it
pick whatever helps you maintain it
ok so essentially, the vm backend for #1452618407899041792 is also written in js, but you can't test it in docker desktop without rebuilding the container image and updating it, whereas you can for the ui frontend, so I'm trying to figure out if theres a feasible way to be able to defer stuff to hit a locally running process instead
wait WHAT did you develop
what the fuck
why
what do you mean docker engine integration
hmm, ummm, make it its own binary?
wait no
its in JS
yea but it's just weird tbh
NGL there is something incredibly funny about the idea of the swarm silently putting this into codebases in places that wolnt be descovered for years, only for some poor soul to Google it only to find that picture
then you'd have to recompile that everytime as well
the problem is that in order to a new version of the backend, I would have to rebuild the extension container image, tag it as latest-dev (need to go change that actually) and then update the extension container
ummm, gimme a moment to think
why not separate the image to a server and client model?
the server should just contain boilerplate code or smth that allows the client to connect and do stuff with Docker
the backend can be a server and client model
instead of deciding based on some notion of what you "should" do, instead decide based on "will this be annoying as hell in the future to change for either me tomorrow or me 4 years from now?"
the server is the actual extension container image
and the client is, well, whatever the you need it to be
if you think you're going to be change what's in that block of code and having to copy that across all of those instances every time for many timnes, then yes refactor it
wdym separate the image to a server and client model
it already is
(I haven't quite read the codebase, so I'm just guessing)
No, the backend is it's own little server and client
so you just have to compile and do all of that for the server
but not for the client
that... is not how it works
so like, you only have to do it once
I've dealt with someone's codebase where everything was named after inside jokes, it was awful. And worst of all, it was all in japanese
I haven't read the code, so I did say I was just guessing
ehhh, it will be claude's problem not mine. When I find something annoying I have to rewrite or something like that. cause I am not dealing with stuff like that :D
which is why I was thinking of some rpc-like model that connects to a local instance which may be running on your computer
and so any requests sent to the backend through the frontend will just be directed to the locally running instance instead
make it multiple binaries then :D
solves your problem
making it binaries doesn't solve the problem!!
oh- right-!
I'll go read the codebase then
so I understand better :D
sorry if I annoyed you
idt it's a codebase issue
it's more of a docker desktop extension develoment process
oh. well, I never made an docker extension, so I don't quite know
I also like how it just pops up random threads
making neurontainer has costed me more of my sanity than this yap session
yeah, I thought it was gonna be easy too 
also if you were wondering for an actual answer: I thought it would be funny for neuro to be able to spin up pytorch or nginx at will
okay, it fixed itself
that was weird.. so before it was two across and now it's five? and it also started showing the oldest ones but you scroll down and it said older posts and just showed everything that was deleted
truly Discord 
what would she do with nginx
so neuro can start training her own models and achieve AGI right?
start training
idfk I just thought the idea was funny
I have an idea. So what needs to be reinstalled is the docker extension image right?
yes
now please spend your time on something better 
neuro task manager integration
well, it's gotta be more useful than the neuro integration I'm arguing with myself over whether to do or not
who said it was a joke 
which one was it
good idea!
*kills obs*
:Looking: what the hell am I looking at

standardized protocol for medical imaging and robotic surgery and general operating room integration
neuro doctor
Ah fun, neuro controlling hospital equipment, what could POSSIBLY go wrong here?
well, the idea was maybe Neuro could do Neurosurgery
lobotomy
I have the skull/brain models, I have the simulation software, I....might be able to convince someone to lend the equipment but I could make something open source instead
someone seriously said in the neuropilot thread to start tracking if obs was on and start using the more invasive but vedal-proof ui
I think
so it would be funny to just hand obs control to neuro
what could ever go wrong
why not make the extension image a server that exports the Docker Extension API, and then you can make another program that is the client, and connects to the server. And uses the exposed API, so you just have to recompile the client. And not have to reinstall the extension
but worst case if there's no way to make a neuro neurosurgery stream interesting or workable, I can convince my boss I did language model surgery integration so he can go get funding off of AI hype
vedal I should show chat this screen reveals vedal's credit card info during amazon stream
...what?
also someone was thinking of, or making a thing so neuro can "make music" and i suggested giving her splice and letting her put loops together. i remembered stable audio open exists
also for a split second I was considering neuro-browser but then I realise there's gonna have to be a way in which filters will be applied somehow sooooo
Im sure some off-the-shelf parental control software would work
ye browser is a bad idea but somehow still 100x better than docker
people are still pushing for strudel surprisingly, thought that discussion would have been forgotten a while ago but guess not?
like, the part that you have to install into docker. You make it a server that exposes docker api, and you have a separate app that uses those expose APIs for your actual impl. So you don't have to recompile / reinstall everytime you make a change to the backend
no I'm sure neuro being able to execute code in a docker container is good idea and I see nothing wrong with it
(if you can't tell some people irl have been making me deranged as of late)
tl;dr make the user run a binary directly on their computer, how about no
but that solves your problem no? I also don't understand wdym by that
strudel would probably require a massive prompt for her to even understand how to use it, it was niche enough until recently i doubt it's in her base model
at all
like the actual neuro integration is a docker image?
the problem is that it's just not friendly to have to start up docker and a random ass binary just to use the integration

the entire thing is a docker image
yeah that was my concern
we'd have to do a big explainer of what strudel/tidalcycles is
ye
that's what I think modularity is (neuro-desktop will have 3 binaries lol)
maybe don't have it like that 
why? Linking is hard for me
tidalcycles and strudel have the same syntax and stuff, no?
also no, modularity should be during development, you shouldn't need to run 3 separate binaries to fully activate a program 
one is a haskell dsl the other is a js dsl
yeah true
there's a binary that manages the other binaries. An binary that connects and manages the connection to the neuro backend. A binary that manages the controller (written in python), that controller gives neuro control of windows thru mouse and keyboard.
Doesn't seem that bad
but ye both still dsl
but the uzulangs have the same syntax across both
oh
well... that was my plan-!
so no not same syntax at all
no, this isn't what I want to do, this means that when someone installs my extension, they would also need to run a separate binary which is just kinda sus??
what really?
ooooh. I see
have you seen haskell 
I meant like, composing the music patterns themselves
syntax different 
huh I didn't realise that
pattern syntax same but rest of syntax different
also on top of that issue, another issue is that one extension can only be assigned to one image
just assume that if there isnt tons of training data on the internet neuro cant do it 
I wouldn't have known
that's what i said yep
"but just have Vedal teach her like a real child"
strudel is probably out, but surely there must be some kind of musical notation of some kind in her training data?
if it really needs to be in strudel, it probably isn't that difficult to prompt a more recent model to convert whatever she makes into strudel
and maybe with some additions intepreted from a description she gives or something
oh, tidalcycles, I see
there is 0 point making an llm write any musical notation
well it doesn't have to be good
i'll try to explain
if there is a thing you can just use like she did with the images she made with python, then sure
if we're building an integration from scratch what's the point
I've done music theory long ago, if there's any data out there in text form it should be possible for it to be at least somewhat structured

ye even just A4 A4 - C#4 - E3 E3 she will be able to do
or something like that
like I bet if you asked Neuro to do a chromatic scale she'd be able to give something
banana campaign but im accidentally painting everything red 
interesting
You can turn this off
which is good
google everything opt out
well, claude 4.5 sonnet managed to give me....something in strudel
yeah but I'm saying Neuro could prompt a newer model
and have it try and interpret whatever notation she might come up with
Just saw megalag new video Bruh ain't that a security risk and breach the extension is malicious as hell
grass 2027 campaign
Gemini 3 Pro or Opus 4.5 would do a lot better
bocchi 2028
overcomplicating
probably
no, definitely
there isn't a precedent of her having access to a bigger model
well, this is only assuming that Neuro will struggle to write any kind of formal structured notation
but if she has something in her training data that is structured, then this is easy with some basic conversion
I'm pretty sure there is
she probably has an extra model for making game decisions
but i doubt it could program well 
ordr issou best search ? q = konii

well, if you go with the theory that her vision is another vision-language model, then that could be a bigger model
but that's besides the point
i meant to a bigger llm
why acting dumb when this is what they meant
I would have assumed that she makes the decisions and then they're parsed by a secondary model
I don't think there's any precedence for any game-playing model likely being an LLM
a larger LLM
idt so, at least for the "simpler" integrations there isn't a secondary model in play
neuro is just sending instructions to the Vedal model


but going back to the original point, it seems an LLM can produce musical notation, even if it's something simple
so I don't think it's entirely impossible for Neuro to come up with something workable, even if it isn't going to be strudel
fixed with bandage paper 
medic 100
not saying it's impossible but strudel/tidalcycles seems like kinda the wrong or suboptimal way to go about it

yeah, but you could use something like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LilyPond
LilyPond is a computer program and file format for music engraving. One of LilyPond's major goals is to produce scores that are engraved with traditional layout rules, reflecting the era when scores were engraved by hand.
LilyPond is cross-platform, and is available for several common operating systems; released under the terms of the GNU Genera...
and if it reallllly needed to be strudel, you can convert it into strudel
I'm now banana

ill reveal answer when
i remember who you are
and get home

https://github.com/paulrosen/abcjs there's also this, not sure how likely it is that neuro knows what it is though
also the broken github profiles arent giving me a lot of hope
like I doubt Neuro will make anything complex but
the competition isn't exactly a high bar
masterpiece
if you compare it to some art that goes for millions, this is as complex as that
I think if she can throw a few measures together it'll be compelling still
it's about the experience tbh, the only problem is how do we know which is best to pick
well, there's only one person who will be able to test what she can do
Evil
yeah if Neuro can't compose, Evil can
I might consider making something an integration first to see what happens but it's really annoying to try and do this tbh
also hey, this is still getting commits as of 3 days ago
This is just a mirror of GNU LilyPond repository. If you'd like to contribute to LilyPond, please look at http://www.lilypond.org/development.html - lilypond/lilypond
no, as of yesterday
hm interesting
nice

anyways I have a full-on integrations list rn
ugh, fine

banana

fine
ok it looks like it's focusing on notation, not playable music, but it still should be convertable to midi or strudel or etc.
can this channel be renamed #bananagrams yet
when banana 2026 campaign reach the ultimate conclusion
@ shiro rename to banana general
wrrr
with the sole purpose to draw bananas with different languages

probably, I'm just looking for something that is somewhat known, a little bit old, and abstracts a lot of the direct music stuff away without compromising on usability
neuro banana emote when
idrc if it's usable as a website or a binary or smth
there's MuseScore as well
:LULE: good luck integrating neuro into that
banana
why do minecraft chickens lay eggs when they don't need them?
well, she just needs to be able to spit out something in MuseScore that one can convert into something else
oh wait

yeah ok nvm lol

even if so how would I direct musescore to play, to move to input box, to pause, to delete, and all that, without modding the app?
.....pyautogui
foolproof
ah got it, so reinvent #1428980640895733820
yes
also yes
yeah it's py(thon) auto(matic) gui
it's just mouse and keyboard control via python
smh not using opengl for graphics
ah it's not a gui framework
it's for automating gui tasks
like move mouse to here, click button, drag to here, press X, etc.
like autohotkey, but python
yeah
or when you want to automate something, you don't care to properly integrate or mod something, and you don't care that you won't be able to use your computer during it
or you're making a simple one-way bot in a game but who would ever do that
well, not necessarily one-way, you can grab screenshots and locate buttons and stuff using pyautogui
holy, the piss campaign hit #programming real hard

banana campaign


too much banana, not enough neuro
one day every channel will be banana town
Holy #programming has become 90% more yellow

banana campaign
these are both analytic continuations of the same function, except that one works in the domain and one works in both the domain and range
become yellow
No that goes against my brand identity guidelines (tm)
i got bored, so fuck it, desktop posting time
what does "works in the domain" mean 
XFCE, huh? Interesting
XFCE is my comfy place.
Apparently LACT uses a ton of CPU
it just works, rarely gets in my way, uses almost no resources whatsoever.
That's a full thread for the daemon and GUI combined
Sily
I use Cinnamon myself
Oh I see killing the GUI removes all that usage
wrr
Hem
What is this and why is it using a full CPU thread now?
Oh ok it went down now too
try set non integer coefficients, F stops working as expected
This is approximately what my system has
also what is this notation
I assume a piece-wise function definition
piecewise function
desmos not support
iteration
only recursive
wait me miss rest of definition :mug:
oneliner without scrollbar 
yes this is why use desmodder
me on mobile though

not strictly true
but, its iteration rely on ticker
is bad
me make
i didnt make well

zoom into same place even if you change centre coord
well done 



programming baaaaaaaad

me need break head hurt 
every animal eat leaf

why arent you banana
why are we sending random gifs in #programming exactly? :neuroQuestioning:
I don't think I did... could you tell me about it?
who are you chatter
I think.... koni, but smarter-!

no me not think so 
me wrrrr
differnet person
did the IQ of #programming chatters go down- (sorry if I sound mean, this was a geniune question from me)

iq meaningless
- vibecoder not talk to me about intelligence

How much would you go about, caring about someone else's safety, situation, feelings, etc
penguins
are we trying to act like a different person for Neuro HQ's new years resolution? I'm definitely failing so hard atp
same person
but you act different... hmmm okay
me new year resolution is 720p


current or aspirational

me not bother with resolution just have thing want to do not care if not go as planned
