the subliminal messaging is insane
azure lynx
"oh no! I'm being chased by a pretty good deal on grape flavored gatorade! the only way to stop it damaging my "good deal" sense is to purchase it!"
opaque wharf
Meh, if it's no different than a product placement on say, an in game minimarket, then as I said, it just adds to the immersion. Of course obnoxious ads would be avoided like how we avoid pop ups. But yeah, I can also see how it could be misused
real sierra
it's the scale though
product placement right now only really happens often in movies as far as I can tell
and it's only a handful of products at most
this would be opt-in by developers and widespread
azure lynx
there are some terrible video games but generally yeah.
real sierra
so it has the potential to be rampant in upcoming games
azure lynx
like there are games which are just "here is mario bros or whatever but you are the product"
real sierra
I can also see some potential for manipulating the branding with the API's terms of use, e.g. imagine a line that said "Products from the API must not be presented in a disparaging or destructive way"
opaque wharf
so it has the potential to be rampant in upcoming games
My only hope is that the dev is clever enough to not charge people for in game ads
real sierra
so you have to implicitly shill the products if you want revenue

But I guess the C suite would beg to differ

but yeah I have some fears of this API
think about what Google's advertising API did to mobile apps
real sierra
PC gaming is a much more immersive format that traditional ads aren't successful in
opaque wharf
think about what Google's advertising API did to mobile apps
But that's because the ads is not always for tangible product
real sierra
but something like what Walmart is offering might get real traction
real sierra
But that's because the ads is not always for tangible product
I'm not sure what the tangibility of the product has to do with it
azure lynx
they could make a better app with it maybe. just model the stores and put the items in the right places
opaque wharf
I'm not sure what the tangibility of the product has to do with it
Immersion for in game product placement
real sierra
you can only get so immersive
opaque wharf
Something intangible might be harder to incorporate to a game to promotr
real sierra
at some level you'll see products and know that they came from the API
imagine seeing the same trending products in every game you play

someone needs to make a quick game called "Framing Simulator 2026" and have it so you make different shaped wooden frames by clicking sizes and shapes. and make the video on steam for it look as much like a farm simulator as you can (perhaps you have to grow trees or something so you highlight that aspect). Ideally someone with a game engine already installed and nothing else to do.

I know someone with a game engine installed 
real sierra
hmm. i think there would have to be agreements for things like name brand shoes ...
I mean, when you license a product for online retail with Walmart, you do give them permission to showcase it in digital product placement already
I see this API as a way for Walmart to increase its digital ad surface and their inventory of product placement venues
but you could say Walmart is still the one placing those ads, as is possible by the conditions and properties of those digital locations as set by the developer
so it's kinda like you're leasing space in your game to Walmart and Walmart uses it under their existing marketplace agreements with brands
or that's how I see it at least
real sierra
I can also see some potential for manipulating the branding with the API's terms...
of course, some brands may feel it's in their best interest to terminate such marketplace agreements if it means their branding being placed in games with a damaging PR impact, which is part of why I said this earlier
azure lynx
i'm pretty sure no brand would want to be associated with "Meth Lab Andy", where all the precursors for the end product are bought from Walmart. Even if the ingredients were not what you'd actually use to make drugs (like eggs, milk, some AAA batteries, and some cling wrap), people would rush to distance themself from it.

ah i remember now, repeat infringements of the DMA get as high as 20%

I'm sure the panel itself is fine
Don't expect the highest IPS response time scores and there's no HDR, of course

I consider low refresh rate to be garbage

Even just for non gaming purposes.. 60 fps is extremely bleh

Even 120 fps in games can look weird
opaque sigil
i was right, it's 48fps
olive sable
cus then 48hz means 24 left 24 right
opaque sigil
some 3d scenes run at 48fps to make it less jarring
sage crag
wrr
opaque sigil
something like that
though the switch from 24 to 48 itself is kind of jarring
there was a weird neurological reason behind it
sage crag
120fps video looks fine to me
olive sable
to do 3D they split the refresh rate between your eyes. so 48 total just means 24 for each eye
opaque sigil
no it's 48fps for both
azure lynx
i just couldn't stand the story of Avatar so stopped watching it.
olive sable
no it's 48fps for both
are you sure?

they kinda made a big deal that it was higher FPS
opaque sigil
it's to help with the 3d strain some people experience
azure lynx
but they also say "no CGI" (for other films obv)
azure lynx
they often give partial specs of what they're doing. the kind of thing someone higher up would here and be impressed by. so it could be either
olive sable
ye
thats the thing
when you're buying projectors especially
most projectors still have 3D built in
and then they can get away with calling their projector 240hz
eventho its only 120, but for each eye
azure lynx
they technically could run a 240fps film through it though and just tell you not to wear the glasses
opaque sigil

the only bug left when I finally went to run it was so stupid I even noticed it and thought "perhaps there is something special about substr() and negative numbers i don't remember... Gemini seems to know what it's doing:
if (currentOutput_.length() >= 11) { // length of <|thought|>
std::string tail = currentOutput_.substr(currentOutput_.length() - 20); // Check last 20 chars
obv the 20 should be 11, but it wrote those lines one after the other. like it knew what it was doing. ;/

But for sum reason... intel laptops nowadays mostly ships with H-class processors, which made the battery life suck and throttling 24/7

the battery in my gaming laptop is just to keep the ram alive while im moving the laptop

idk i haven't paid much attention to laptops in years

they're still shit in battery life

Not surprised, if it weren't for portability, laptops are pointless when u have a desktop
olive sable
some are slightly more power efficient, but those are rare
its mainly the amd igpu ones that dont die after 5 min form what ive heard
the intel igpus also have decent battery life, but they jsut dont count as gaming laptops

the only way watercooling in a laptop is meaningfull is with an external radiator
olive sable
Why cant they just pull a console move and have quiet fans?
laptop fans need to be thin and still cool 200W
so they sacrefice noise for more cooling
consoles are allowed to be thicc

don't you need an llm for that
azure lynx
most "AI" is just a python script which loads some libraries and those libraries load a model (LLM). Because things like ChatGPT exist and people want to copy them, there are simple interfaces for the AI side.
as for making it a "buddy" of some sort, I assume you want some form of TTS and some form of visual avatar on the screen.
The TTS can be done easily. And "some form" of avatar can be done simply (you could e.g. have a series of images which you switch between depending on state. state could be as simple as "speaking" and "not speaking". more complicated could be some form of 3d model and weighted blending between poses depending on ... pretty much anything you wanted.
TTS itself can either be a remote API or something local like the LLM, a model you load locally, often from a python script too.
synchronizing the TTS and visual elements is left as an exercise for the interested reader.
you're probably also going to want ASR (automated speech recognition) for input, which is usually again another model

that is the study of CoT, but also has to be trained

its just reprompting itself
how do you think?
silent cloak
CoT is literally just reprompting itself
amber fractal
how do you think?
you first
silent cloak
again models dont think
its not continuous
it takes its own output and shoves it back into the input
creates the illusion of "thinking"
azure lynx
i think by processing the next most useful concept and iterating. i load the context with the ideas i think are related, set myself a goal and find myself solving problems or creating things.
silent cloak
its like having a person do half of an essay and then u go to another person to finish the rest
azure lynx
it takes its own output and shoves it back into the input
what's "iterating" but doing that?
and perhaps people are the ones with the illusion of thought if you can't explain what it is.
silent cloak
CoT is inserting another prompt with the existing one asking the model usually to "explain your thinking"
and then once the model "explains" its "thinking" it will resend it as a new input for it to use whatever it generated to make the final output
in reality it can just make stuff up and often does
because its not thinking its just "explaining it" before using that as a reference point
amber fractal
creates the illusion of "thinking"
An alternate of framing human thiking the iteration of editors like vim, where the whole point of them is to be able to jump from place to place to lay out thoughts. Those are designed to allow one to think in an non uniform way, being able to edit peices with ease or delete others.
LLMs move in only one direction and physically can't do that process themselves.
azure lynx
if you ask it to explain it's thinking post hoc, it will make stuff up because it doesn't know.
if you has it do think before explaiining, it has a scratchpad of space to organize it's ideas

no it makes up stuff during it too

i pick the words to best convey my point based on how im feeling at the moment, my experiences, the context of the situation, many many other factors

that structure can be broken down into math

It will contradict itself within a single sentence while thinking, which indicates it's not actually having a complete thought, and is just generating likely tokens.

azure lynx
explain in detail how it predicts the next word.
coz i think you're missing some details in understanding how they work
hard delta
explain in detail which details are missing
silent cloak
i used to have a good gaph
azure lynx
how the context supplied is passed through the attention layers which affect the likelihoods of other nodes being activated in ways which are too complex to fully be able to predict for all inputs, but which because of their weights somehow manage to feed along to produce output that tends to show understanding.
silent cloak
but its not understanding anything
its using data of people who "understand" stuff
and just parroting it
hard delta
(that's a surprisingly human behavior btw)
silent cloak
parroting is all an LLM can do
atleast current ANN models
SNNs show promise
but we arent fully there yet
azure lynx
it can only say things it has seen before?
silent cloak
correct
or close enough patterns
it NEEDS existing data
it cant grow or change based on new data
all of that only exists in context
its neurons wont change because of context though
which is why it cant "learn" beyond the initial training
every action and choose u do in ur life will adjust ur neurons
for an LLM using an ANN they will remain fixed
azure lynx
the model can be used in a way which grows based on the data flowing through the model. using external storage and retrieval methods for example
silent cloak
again though RAG isnt learning its just another form of context
its neurons remain the same
azure lynx
ok. you convinced me by constant repetition.
silent cloak
if u want to see potential future models that CAN learn look into Spiking Neural Networks
or other new models that employ neural plasticity
but they are all experimental atm
hard delta
oh god we're already there aren't we
azure lynx
i don't care about the model. i care about the system. do you not understand the difference?
silent cloak
im talking about the model of the system architecture
hard delta
ok i think i can google translate here
silent cloak
chatgpt, claude, neuro-sama, etc are all ANN models
hard delta
bro is interested in the pipeline that is built around the constant model
because clearly that's where the magic is happening
silent cloak
has to look into transformer architecture then thats how the current LLMs operate
its not good or efficient but its what everyone is doing until something better comes along
azure lynx
the LLM can't learn. the system can. do you disagree in principle with that or are you in rant mode?
silent cloak
the system can "learn" technically yes
azure lynx
what do you mean "technically"?
silent cloak
well its learning all that its meant to learn which in the case of LLMs is how likely another word is to come after the current word
its what makes machine learning good for detecting things in photos and videos
hard delta
there was some movie i saw like 3 minutes of when i was little
a woman wakes up in an unfamiliar bed on an unfamiliar yacht, but there us a video tape titled watch me
it's a tl;dr of her explaining her life so far to herself since amnesia kicked in and she lost her ability to form new long term memories
azure lynx
i think you are confusing "the system (which has an LLM and can store and retrieve data persistently)" with "a file I downloaded that can be used to process tokenize language input"
silent cloak
thats what an LLM is though
azure lynx
the LLM is the 2nd one.
silent cloak
ur input gets tokenized and processed by the LLM
azure lynx
and then in the first one, which is what i was meaning, it also able to remember things
azure lynx
coz i know the model will never change. but every time it is used, it runs with different input.
silent cloak
yeah
it was a good stepping stone for AI progress
but it still just isnt "completed" yet people are still researching
tons and tons of new technology, algorithms, hardware
azure lynx
not making any claims about that.
was trying to solve why you keep thinking i mean "just the model by itself" all the time when i keep saying "the system of model + some memory magic" in so many ways.
silent cloak
model has a few different meanings these days thats why
sometimes its used for just the LLM weights and sometimes its used for the whole system design
azure lynx
i explicitly said it explicitly multiple times starting at least from here #programming message
silent cloak
i was referring to the general system
azure lynx
and here: #programming message more clearly i thought
olive sable
azure lynx
and then like 3 times after that i said "LLM + memory storage and retrieval" in different ways
and i used the term system as well as model to contrast them.
not sure how much clearer I could've been without making zero typos.
sorry. was frustrating.

azure lynx
obviously it's because of their socio-economically disadvantaged upbringing not giving them access to healthier options. if anyone is to blame it's the system.

seems to not be clearing its framebuffer
creates windows xp like glitching
texas instruments made this file pretty heavy to run huh
freecad seems to be single threaded in how it does this so ill have to wait a while
ah i see why now
this fucking thing has 350000 triangles
some poor soul at TI had to make this thing

No drivers are required because these drivers are natively handled by all operating systems even nixos? we shall see

I summon the reduce modifier
olive sable
what if i dont reduce?
blender handles 350K decently
it was the software i used to convert .step into something usable that took 10 minutes
im reading these docs,a nd while its all very interesting
why does red get less bright????
olive sable
i dont think so
it shoudlnt be less bright if its jsut light in a different band
but its actually jsut doing less light
amber fractal
activly cooled system
olive sable
heat reduces the LED's ability to convert electrical energy into light efficiently
amber fractal
Sounds like we need to liquid cool
I mean this looks like heatsink and fan to me
sooo
olive sable
hmmm
put waterblock directly ont he outside of it
but ye nah i dont feel like doing all that extra work
this one is only 150 lumen anyways, there is an industrial version that does 1000 or so
amber fractal
That probably tells me that most of the limit is due to heat management
jsut bigger fan?
olive sable
getting better leds here doesnt seem too expensive on first glance
true hemlock
because the diode should be emitting the same exact wavelength
olive sable
i thought leds didnt change band too much tho
true hemlock
but somehow infrared appeared
amber fractal
reminds me of green lazers when cooled switch to infrared
maiden geyser
luoding o
olive sable
thats a screw it seems
true hemlock
actually
might have an explanation
red led uses lower band gap diode
tend to overheat faster so that's probably why
also quantum efficiency shit that's not linear with current
olive sable
nah
im not gonna do all that
😭
im gonna save the settings, and then keep using those settings forever
ok so
we have a maximum of 4225hz
but we need to stick withing the bandwidth limit
amber fractal
i cant wait to use this software <:EvilDead:1242814445680464083>
ohisee it is palette based
we don't actually have to use ascii coloring
olive sable
our pixel clock for hdmi is stuck at a max of 150mhz, meaning we cannot do the full 1140x910 at 4225hz
olive sable
ohisee it is palette based
kinda ye
each 1 bit pattern you display can only be 1 colour
1 bit pattern is what im counting as our hz here
amber fractal
I just meant we can limit the color space and index into it
olive sable
im not sure how much control we have ovewr brightness
