programming

[flint dome]

hmmmmm i could i could

[opaque sigil]

otherwise you need the ugly rebase

git rebase -r --root --exec '
if [ "$(git show -s --format=%ae HEAD)" = "[e-mail]" ]; then
  GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="New Name" \
  GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="[e-mail]" \
  GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="$(git show -s --format=%cD HEAD)" \
  git commit --amend --no-edit --allow-empty --no-verify -S \
    --author="New Name <[e-mail]>"
fi
'

this would do the job if you only want to touch commits from the specific email

remove -S for no signing

[vague sonnet]

A - bugs were caused by AI gen code
B - inflated numbers due to a sponsorship deal
C - marketing scheme to attract AI investors

choose one

or multiple :)

[olive sable]

I have bought an S25 FE

[opaque sigil]

enjoy

[flint dome]

nah i think i'll stick with filter-repo

[opaque sigil]

you should if you can

[olive sable]

"550 euro" after the case and insurance im at 700

When the online generation starts getting dementia, the retirement homes are gonna be crazy.

Im gonna be sitting there need to optemize triangle

[kind nimbus]

Oftentimes ADHD already feels like dementia ngl

[olive sable]

When you're old, you can have both

[kind nimbus]

Wait what

I just read Claude code got removed from the pro tier ??????

Oh it's only for new customers

[rigid snow]

sam good phone??

[opaque wharf]

That's one expensive case

[warped narwhal]

Time for https://github.com/jayphelps/git-blame-someone-else

[olive sable]

From what i can find between my old and new phone, the main difference is cpu and gpu speed

10x gpu speed

it does have less megapixels in the front and rear cameras, but the processig should be better so it shouldnt matter

while we were at the elcetronics store, apparently my brother's old laptop was insured this whole time, so i should probably assemble it againa nd let them fix the hinge

[opaque wharf]

Honestly, you'll never noticed that thing anyway if all you do is sending text, watch youtube and browse the net

[olive sable]

nah my old phone was getting slow

[opaque wharf]

Maybe do some light document signing but that's about all the things I do on my phone

Cursed idea time since its nearing midnight

HTML in UEFI

UEFI got WebView

[flint dome]

nooooooooo they're going to bring nodejs to the bootloader humanity is doomed if that happens

[sage crag]

bios.js

[olive sable]

new phone finally has usb c video out

nice

[opaque wharf]

I envy that

[sick owl]

Not bad for a small model deployed on mid range mobile hardware

[stark needle]

I optimized a sql query from 18.4 seconds to 1.3 seconds that was user facing bruh

[warped narwhal]

wtf was that query doing?

[opaque wharf]

https://modbuswebui.dev/

[glass flower]

whats that

[opaque wharf]

Quick and easy debug a modbus via web serial

[glass flower]

ill be honest i initially read that name as mobius webui

[stark needle]

Joins using full scans and not using hash joins and the query builder being inefficient

[valid onyx]

GUYS. I JUST GOT KAI TO WORK ON DISCORD. i locked in. i have been working on discord implementation for the past 3 days

btw kai is my version of neuro im coding from scratch

[vague sonnet]

same, they need to rebrand

[flint dome]

morbius

[stark needle]

It's morbing time

[valid onyx]

i finally got kai's discord implementation fixed

[stark needle]

@valid onyx just text or audio as well

[valid onyx]

full conversations

in voice

[stark needle]

Damn nice

[valid onyx]

the delay is bad but im focusing on optimizing next

[stark needle]

What's e2e latency Breakdown

[valid onyx]

ill need to check. but im running everything from my local laptop. so the latency isnt horrible. but im on school wifi so its kinda bad.

[valid onyx]

also her delay is kinda bad. it takes her 7-8 seconds to respond. but im optimizing her code next. and implementing sound detection so she doesn't think just random noise is words

[stark needle]

Fair enough yea

[valid onyx]

she is currently in a test discord server. she is a bot. but everything is locally run from my laptop. and im gonna build her a server next when i get the chance

[valid onyx]

but i added a personal flair to kai. she has an evolving personality module. so the more she talks to people. the more personality she gains. so she isnt just a set prompt personality. that way she is unique

it took me 3 weeks to build her personality module

[stark needle]

Nice

Live RL based?

[nocturne olive]

Some kind of long-term memory?

[valid onyx]

yes. it uses qdrant. but im currently improving it by the day.

[valid onyx]

yes.

[nocturne olive]

What scale of base model is it running on?

[valid onyx]

currently her memory is just like testing. but im gonna improve it later.

[valid onyx]

llama3.1:8b

[nocturne olive]

Surely there's a higher quality more modern model that'd do even better

[valid onyx]

im gonna improve. im just not on the best hardware right now as im away from home

[valid onyx]

my laptop can only handle so much. i might move her to a 33b params model.

[nocturne olive]

You could definitely do just fine on a modern 8B scale model too but if you're going to the ~30B scale you'll need approximately a 3090

[valid onyx]

i have a 3060. and i also have a cloud server that runs on 5090 but i try not to use it much as it costs a lot of money

im also upgrading soon

[nocturne olive]

What you upgrading to?

[valid onyx]

probably a 5060 or 70

[nocturne olive]

You should check how much a 3090 costs
Because a 5070 is not that much better than a 3090 and a 5060 is worse, and both are terrible in comparison for ML workloads

[valid onyx]

interesting ok ill check it out

[nocturne olive]

Also a 5060 would technically be worse for ML than your 3060 assuming you have the 12GB 3060

[valid onyx]

i have the max vram model of 3060

[nocturne olive]

12GB

5060 only has 8GB

[valid onyx]

yeah

[nocturne olive]

3090 has 24GB

[valid onyx]

ooooh

[nocturne olive]

I got my 3090 for 500€ from a triangle

[valid onyx]

ok. a 3090 is 1250$ or so used

on ebay

[stark needle]

Get 5060 16gb if anything

[nocturne olive]

That can't be right

[stark needle]

On ebay prices are shit

Cause of US scalpers and similar

[valid onyx]

where should i look

[nocturne olive]

[stark needle]

Local marketplaces

[nocturne olive]

Are you in the EU or outside the EU?

[valid onyx]

us

usa

[nocturne olive]

Screwed

[valid onyx]

yep

[stark needle]

Maybe Facebook marketplace

[valid onyx]

yeah. good choice

[stark needle]

Also chat i just bought a 10gbe synology nas

And 10gbe switch

[valid onyx]

what model should i run on my 3060

[stark needle]

Gemma 4 e4b

[valid onyx]

is that better then my current model?

[stark needle]

Yea by a lot

Also has image and video and audio input

[valid onyx]

nice. ok ill take that into account

[sick owl]

Why is this the thing we choose to try and bring back

[valid onyx]

any suggestions on what to add to kai. i have a avatar for her

[stark needle]

Suggestions in what sense

[valid onyx]

like features

i also need testers.

[stark needle]

Function calling?

[valid onyx]

wdym?

[stark needle]

The LLM being able to do stuff themselves

[valid onyx]

oh

yeah.

thats on my list.

im just working on setting everything up like base features. but thats next on my list after the base features

[sick owl]

Okay he did cook this guy though

Holy shit

Turns out tech ceos can act human if you give them enough alcohol

[valid onyx]

does anyone want to test out kai?

[stark needle]

[valid onyx]

?

[warped narwhal]

I'm going to teach it so many filtered words :D

[reef ingot]

Day 6? Of making my own game engine

I did nothing today basically nithibg

I went out today :p

Byeeeee

[true hemlock]

now this is the kind of research i'd do.

[valid onyx]

i guess.

you want an invite to the server?

[sick owl]

You know what's crazy

Despite Grok being plugged in as a xwitter wide translator, its so bleh that I'm having to use Gemma 4 E2B on my laptop to get more legible translations of some messages

[rigid snow]

rust was ahead of its time

systems programming for llms

[stark needle]

[glass jetty]

officially
i confirmed that everything seems to work fine
vers is ready
took a lot of time, even if basically to solve it i only needed:

1. find 2 different places in rustc, one for not and one for and or not_eq, and change it to accept this tokens
   2, compile toolchain from source
2. write preprocessor for rust code, so i can share vers code with other
3. compile rust-analyzer from source to make lsp load files and preprocess them on fly
4. hijack lsp communication at nvim lsp client lvl for same reason

and only one thing left is user-intend-aware toRust parser, and fromRust (toVers) parser to make vers code from rust code

[olive sable]

oh im being invaded

wtf

why is my tower not doing anything?

i kinda forgot they're not automatic i didnt have any tower code

[valid onyx]

yall. how would you suggest i promote kai?

[stark needle]

Wym

[valid onyx]

i wanna like show people her on like tiktok or something. just kinda show the progress

[stark needle]

@true hemlock new tpu bruh https://x.com/sundarpichai/status/2046981627184902378

Sundar Pichai (@sundarpichai)

TPU 8t, optimized for training and TPU 8i, optimized for inference.

Looking good!

X · Apr 22, 2026, 3:57 PM

TPU8i has 288GB of HBM bruh

[tender river]

how else do you run an os without webview

https://copy.sh/v86/

you need a browser first

[stark needle]

Tpu v8t has 12600 dense tflops in fp4

[opaque wharf]

It works. Why

At least this doesn't work. Safe

[stark needle]

Wtf also google invented it's new ai networking

https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/networking/introducing-virgo-megascale-data-center-fabric

This might actually be god tier networking

Bruh we went from 96gb to 288gb in like 2 years

😭

[rough bloom]

it should I think?

you just didn't enable networking

[nocturne olive]

AKA 12.6 PFLOPS

[opaque sigil]

12600000 GFLOPS

[glass jetty]

still less then humans brain

What is going on in this kali linux user

[glass jetty]

some addresses

in raw text for some reason

is he using some sort of discord cli?

[umbral wigeon]

He a champion international cyber security

Can't really tell what's going on

[glass jetty]

so that just some addresses

0x07f is max user space addresses

he describe some random instructions i guess
idk why
just run disassembly cmon
actually reading assembly needed when disassembly fail

hydra is pretty good, and there surely even more powerful soft

wait is it called hydra?

[umbral wigeon]

He even got cyber shield award, insane

[fickle rain]

He’s playing pwn

[fickle rain]

Ghidra

There’s a lot of decompilers

Big three are IDA (paid, very expensive), Binary Ninja (paid, less expensive) and Ghidra (FOSS)

Superiority depends on individual

A lot of people are used to pirated IDA :)

Also he has IDA open

[umbral wigeon]

I'm a vibe coder bro

[vague sonnet]

you should learn to code so you don't have to shame yourself like that

[umbral wigeon]

I'm just joking bro

About vibe coding

Let claude code

[fickle rain]

I wish I understood heap pwn :(
I can only do it unintentionally when making bad mods for CP2077

[umbral wigeon]

Is codeforces still alive

I'm gonna farm some problems

[fickle rain]

AI understands of course, but it’s good to understand yourself too

[umbral wigeon]

I just googling it

Docs give me power

[mighty thorn]

Good thing they’ll do the smart thing and sell them instead of hoarding them and only renting them

Cause it’s funny

[umbral wigeon]

My uncle stopped coding

[mighty thorn]

I hate every single part of this, almost equally

[umbral wigeon]

He 20+ years of exps btw

[olive sable]

no subtitles

[kind nimbus]

I like binary ninja more than ghidra and Ida pro

[kind nimbus]

Yea thats gef

I kinda prefer pwndbg tho most of the time

[umbral wigeon]

Lemme be the subtitles

[mighty thorn]

“this is a computer”

[mighty thorn]

His channel must have gotten hacked they replaced all of his bio with squiggles

[olive sable]

He said in 10 years, there will be no programmer

Speaking of 20+ years of exps programmer uncle

Also you might know this guy

[fast pagoda]

https://thehackernews.com/2026/04/self-propagating-supply-chain-worm.html?m=1

Bro at this point we're gonna have to keep pip, npm, cargo, any fucking repo in a 7 stage sandbox pipeline involving multiple physical computers running different steps in isolation from each other while running differential analysis on how each step is executed compared to the previous time that package manager updated anything to catch literally any difference in what is being executed and accessed with the update

[rigid snow]

don't run postinstall hooks duh it's always postinstall hooks

[fast pagoda]

I don't but like some of the python ones it was joever on just running pip install

[rigid snow]

npm the binary does by default

[fast pagoda]

I use bun

Because yeah

Fycc npm

[kind nimbus]

ah yes another supply chain attack

[fast pagoda]

the supply chain is called that because it supplies chains of infostealers when u use it

[kind nimbus]

ah

https://tenor.com/view/supply-chain-gif-27104076

[fast pagoda]

how could we be so blind to the truth

[sand tiger]

hey

[rigid snow]

knowledge cutoffs are so funny istg

it then proceeded to try and fix that

by ignoring everything that came after 1.21

[fickle rain]

Does it not have websearch tool?

[rigid snow]

it does but they never spam it

like come on it's common knowledge how mc java versions look

[olive sable]

welp, schoolwork done.
3 things left to do
build theatre pc
set up my new phone
kill shiro in screeps

[olive sable]

@real sierra since i fixed my tower not doing anything while i got invaded, ive been kinda killing your scouts

[real sierra]

yeah I know I get an email every time

non issue though, they only gotta be in the room for one tick and they've stolen your credit card number

[olive sable]

have fun getting an email every hour i guess

[fiery canopy]

Ehh, tbf just dont update unless its necosary, and dont use software which auto updates

I cant spell so jover

I need to do my biyearly random ass server clean, as im at limit again ,and 99% of them I dont need to be in [time to go from 100 to like 15 again its fun times]

[real sierra]

thanks, my PC is in a box until May so I can't change the code

[olive sable]

shiro, back in my day i had to program my screeps on my phone, while hiking in montenegro and albania

[fiery canopy]

1 cleanup success

[olive sable]

that's what you put me through, and when i got home yall stopped playing

[warped narwhal]

I got screeps literally a day or two before you guys stopped playing, so here's hoping I can start again before you guys give up

[olive sable]

if shiro stops playing screeps ill open a modmail

[fast pagoda]

don't update unless necessary

Arch user here, what did he mean by this

I can't open a terminal without instinctively updated

[trim valve]

thank you podman

very cool

[olive sable]

what does this mean?

[fast pagoda]

Beeg container cache

[trim valve]

my podman wsl machine is 280GB

grew 150GB in the last 2 hours

[fast pagoda]

That's just windows updating once

[fast pagoda]

I hate containers so much lmao

At least it's podman instead of docker

[trim valve]

i don't wannna doooo this grooouup project

its 1am

i am out of vibecoding tokens

project due in 40 hours

we haven't done the presentation or user evaluation either

[mighty thorn]

Have qwen3.6 do it locally at 0.34 tokens per second

[fast pagoda]

[mighty thorn]

Not on the pc any of us have

“Bro wdym 100b is too big?! My quad B200 cluster I rent for $800 an hour is handling it fine”

[civic flax]

I have an odd question

[olive sable]

[civic flax]

Does anyone know the process of taking an N64 asset like... let's say the 3D model of Mario, and turn it into an Unity asset to later be ported to VRC?

I've been wanting to turn a mod I saw on Game Banana into one, lemme show you.

[olive sable]

i assume you can just import it into blender and export it in the needed filetype for unity

[civic flax]

Here is the image

[olive sable]

what file type is it?

im 99% sure most of the 3D models from popular n64 games have already been harvested and have FBX versions available online

[civic flax]

Its an ".otr" file

[real sierra]

you can access screeps from mobile?

[olive sable]

its a website

[real sierra]

but you can log in?

[olive sable]

ye

[real sierra]

pogs

[fast pagoda]

bruh it runs at liek 20 tok/s on CPU

[olive sable]

its kinda annoying to use, but it works

[civic flax]

Let me see if i can port an otr file into blender

i am sure it will, these are files for projects that are 30 years old

what else could go wrong

[mighty thorn]

Prove it

[olive sable]

.otr means you got the model from ship of harkinian?

it contains texture, model, and audio, so you'l have to convert it into soemthing else first ye. its kinda like a zip file

OTRExporter should be bundled with ship of harkinian

[mighty thorn]

This guy is running 5.5ghz with 128gb ddr5 and talking about what the average person can and cannot run

Everyone point and laugh at the millionaire

[fast pagoda]

ill run it on my mini pc if you want which was 300 dol hairs

[civic flax]

How does one download it

[olive sable]

pause

.otr files mean you got it from ship of harkinian

do you not have ship of harkinian?

cuz then where the hell did the file come from?

[civic flax]

Gamebanana

[olive sable]

ah i see

[mighty thorn]

@fathom glade what is the square root of 0 to the power of grahams numbers?

[olive sable]

ye you might want to install OTRExporter

https://github.com/HarbourMasters/OTRExporter

[civic flax]

Through Game?

Oh

[olive sable]

This has been on my phone's homepage for 8 months

[civic flax]

Wait, how does one download anything from Github

[leaden crest]

there’s a fun button called download I think

[olive sable]

erm, do you know how to compile suff?

[civic flax]

its my first time

[mighty thorn]

If it doesn’t work you have to send me the computer

[civic flax]

i know how to extract files

[olive sable]

ok lets see if there is a precompield version somewhere

[civic flax]

best thing i know is to download retro arch and making it work on an android device

i feel like such a boomer

[olive sable]

explaining how to compiel code would take a while, and we'd be wasting both of our time and would probably need to install soem tools that you eill never use again that take up storage space

so

instead

https://github.com/HarbourMasters/2ship2harkinian/releases

[civic flax]

Oooooh you need to press code and download the 7zip file

[olive sable]

nah

[real sierra]

peak

[olive sable]

nah, the problem is they cant compile

how does everyone explain only the surface level issue without seeing the deeper problem?

[fast pagoda]

i am taking the piss mainly

[olive sable]

get the latest release form here, the zip file depending on your OS. and there shoudl be a precompiled version of OTRExporter there

wait

hmmmm

[mighty thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/british-monka-gif-24331127

[fast pagoda]

nah im just mr worldwide

[olive sable]

OTRExporter doesnt have a way to go from otr back to 3D model. it only goes one way

fuck

okay

i had a new ide a but it immedialty fell apart

[civic flax]

On it

If I can successfully do this, that means I can do another model that I saw which looks more to what I’m looking forward

[olive sable]

the problem with .otr is that its kinda like the end-product

you're trying to make a tree with paper

[civic flax]

Do you guys know anyone that does it out of charity then?

[olive sable]

i can give it a try i guess

[fast pagoda]

the only thing most people do out of charity is steal shit these days it feels like

[olive sable]

honestly

skip using the .otr

[civic flax]

The problem is that the model is written in otr

[fast pagoda]

oh hey 3.6 qwen (dense boi) is out

27b

[olive sable]

import the ROM using fast64 directly

[civic flax]

That’s like Retroarch?

[mighty thorn]

Bruh how many dokibird servers are there 😭

[olive sable]

eh

at least 2

[fast pagoda]

@sick owl

[warped narwhal]

Possibly even 3

[civic flax]

Yeah, the DPS, and Selen

But anyways

I also found this one, tho I’m not sure if it’s real since I never saw it in action before and the “oldest” piece I could find was in a forum of 2015

[fast pagoda]

@mighty thorn hf is being exceptionally stingy and throttling my download so it'll be a moment

[olive sable]

ok so

the rom isnt packaged with any of the toolign cuz its copyrighted

[civic flax]

[olive sable]

and the .otr is a one-way street with no tools to reverse it into a 3d model

and i kinda dont feel like reverse engineering it for 5 hours

[civic flax]

yeah it seems like a waste of time

Let me hget the other link for link

[olive sable]

.otr file is technically a StormLib archive, so someone who knows how those work could extract the data. i dont however

[civic flax]

Nobody here does?

[olive sable]

i doubt it

[civic flax]

Mmm..

[olive sable]

the actual datas is also probably in binary blobs

so you'd have to decode it too

.otr seems to be very heavily optemized for usage in the game at the cost of it being unusable elsewhere

[civic flax]

WAIT THIS ONE WORKS

[civic flax]

Its this one

[olive sable]

did the texture load in too?

[civic flax]

I havent extracted it

I decided to give it a little peek

So it didnt load the textures but they are there

[olive sable]

set your blender to the correct shading mode

[civic flax]

This is the shield for example

[civic flax]

Wait how can I do that

nevermind it crashed

[mighty thorn]

Bro

[fast pagoda]

tough choice

kinda like when im going to the store i have such a hard time choosing how to get there, one of the tough problems i go through every day

[mighty thorn]

So true

[fast pagoda]

decision paralysis

:///

[kind nimbus]

git clone

[mighty thorn]

Even tho correct choice is obvious

[civic flax]

Oh dont worry, I found a model that is a straight up blender model

[olive sable]

wouldnt have worked anyways

[civic flax]

the problem is trying to put the layers of colors on it

because rn he is either white or black

[fast pagoda]

good ol' model A DEEEEEEEEELUXE

@mighty thorn this one is using the "gpu" aka the igpu

[mighty thorn]

it is typing

[olive sable]

i wonder how fast i could have an llm on the opi5max

jsut htinking ahead for what i could do with it later

[fast pagoda]

it aint fast but

it works just fine

@mighty thorn CPU only

[olive sable]

i think the maintencance costs of my screeps are higher than the energy im currentl able to mine rn. cuz i jsut make them be as strong as possible so each creep costs like 1K

[fast pagoda]

got confused on if i was on the right backend at the start lmao

[olive sable]

ye this is just obscene, this creep costs 1300

[sick owl]

OpenAI released an open model

https://huggingface.co/openai/privacy-filter

They said it couldn't be done

[fast pagoda]

lol i saw that earlier and figured it's probably a model that filters all your privacy away

[sick owl]

Is basically a dataset cleaning model

[fast pagoda]

i could use that actually

[sick owl]

To their credit it is Apache 2.0

[fast pagoda]

did u see qwen3.6 27b is out

[sick owl]

I did, yes

[fast pagoda]

i pinged you earlier cuz i hadnt seen you mentioning it but you usually see it before

[sick owl]

I must admit I found 3.6 35B underwhelming

[sick owl]

Oh sorry I must have missed the ping

[sick owl]

I'll look at giving the 27B a fair shake though

[mighty thorn]

I noticed

[sick owl]

As I understand it these models are basically 3.5 but even more aggressively focused on stem and trained to burn way more tokens on thinking

[mighty thorn]

I’m actually gonna have a fucking psychotic episode if someone doesn’t tell me what screeps is

[mighty thorn]

Yes

[sick owl]

Like "Qwen 3.5 Coder XHigh" or something

[olive sable]

screeps is a not-so-free-to-play mmo programming rpg

[fast pagoda]

yea they are 3.5 that's why theyre not qwen4

[mighty thorn]

That’s what you kids have been so obsessed over the last week? Genshin for coding?

[fast pagoda]

more like dwarf fortress

[olive sable]

since when is genshin an mmo rpg?

[mighty thorn]

Not so free to play

[fast pagoda]

genshin is an rpg and it's multiplayer kinda

but it's not an mmorpg

[olive sable]

cuz its paid

it costs like 20 bucks fullprice

but we got it on sale for 2 bucks iirc

fyi i was referencing the ff14 copypasta

[fast pagoda]

me when 70% of the things i say are random references and people just think i'm insane

[vague vortex]

-why is it that the more I learn about building an LLM the less it seems like programming and the more it seems like arcane rites and binding a demon into your service?
Like, for example, apparently you gotta give your program a proper name, or else it'll have an "identity crisis" and start pulling guesses on the data it actually has.
You must know the Entity's true name to control it, or it shall grow erratic.

[olive sable]

that because you're going away from programming and going more into math

[vague vortex]

m a t h

[olive sable]

and math is arcane demon stuff

my internet seems to die randomly at night

[vague vortex]

True.

[olive sable]

im back

[fast pagoda]

Well think about it. You're taking a giant blob of math with billions of variables. Hoping that the stuff you have to have it look at is what you need to have it look at to have the output you desire, if you force the math blob to curve fit itself until it can mimic your data, and you can't tell until you cook it in the oven for several hours. Potentially days or months. Burning a bazillion million w hours of electricity and then evaluating it yourself and the criteria for success "are I don't know. It feels good. Feels right"

[vague vortex]

Wait, so you mean... it's all vibes?

Always has been?

[olive sable]

pretty much

[vague vortex]

...are there more efficient ways to learn this than repeatedly slamming myself against the search engine wall looking for where I should start?

Presumably not from the Jedi

[fast pagoda]

best way is to just send it

[olive sable]

best way to learn depends on how you learn

[olive sable]

some might benefit from reading a lot of docs or info. i personally learn the most from trying and failing a lot

[fast pagoda]

what do you call it if i read infinity docs and then try and fail a lot anyways

[olive sable]

skill issue

[vague vortex]

-Can't send it if I don't even know where to start out sending it from, yknow?
Like, my inexperience in the programming field is... hilarious. I would self describe my status as, "I 'sorta kinda maybe' know what Python does, but couldn't begin to know how I'd implement it to get started."

[olive sable]

ah

[fast pagoda]

most recently i got called a flat earther by my boy

I've been doing The Farmer Was Replaced to learn python and it has taught me that... it's no difficult feat to make a titanic line count in code, if you code like a coward, unwilling to delete and rebuild your old codebase because it works*

still i don't think anyone wants that

all it takes is one

one maniac

one maniac good at parsing

I should make py++

[fast pagoda]

scala 3 apparently supports both indents and bracketed styles

[leaden crest]

c++ but it uses colons and tabs so it's actively worse syntax

does that exist

[fast pagoda]

https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/reference/other-new-features/indentation.html

[leaden crest]

if it exists I hope that developer goes to hell

[young plover]

C++ parsing is already so complicated, I wonder if that would even be possible.

The last piece is the wsl.com client. This is a small 16 bit DOS program implemented in wsl/wsl.asm which exists to allow WSL9x to use MS-DOS prompts as TTY windows rather than needing to implement something custom. yeah wouldn't have wanted to go through the horror of a custom tty for this , too much effort

[kind nimbus]

I wonder how much Claude helped there

[vague vortex]

I mean even if he's using AI to help him, big difference between reaching into the toolbox knowing exactly what tool you need for the job (which I presume he does)
and what someone like me would do which is... less helpful.

Yea i mean i could never recreate anything like that even with using any ai tools in the world lol

I just suck at coding

I'm betting on it that I could
I've got a brain, a plan, and a mission in mind.
I gotta make my AI waifu co-host.

Uh that just got filtered lmao

Anyway that guy on YouTube building his AI waifu by just vibe coding lol

[vague vortex]

oh, I think I saw him.
ok search and confirm, I sure did see him before

[kind nimbus]

most likely

[vague vortex]

yeah... I'm slightly too full of pride at this moment to vibecode.
We'll see where I'm at when this journey finally breaks me

every single programmer I look up to: "No actually you should copy paste what you need from other people and use AI to do the rest"

Me, a stubborn fool: "I must code this all by hand!"

[kind nimbus]

and i'm just here thinking "vibe coding saves me weeks if not months of work so i just vibe code and call it a day"

[vague vortex]

me in 8 months with a vastly ornate "The" printed in ASCII in my program window: "Man I wish I vibe coded."

[fast pagoda]

Ah, well the correct pronunciation is peedal

[vague vortex]

yes

[fast pagoda]

[vague vortex]

I suppose I should look at it more as
Vibe code now to get the thing moving
then improve it later, and it's still a project I can work on and learn with, but without the months of suffering with no functional thing to show for it

I mean, that mentality is good enough for Microsoft, so

it's definitely good enough for me

[rigid snow]

i’m catching myself calling out complete bullshit coding agents do or resort to and think to myself “huh what if i didn’t know this is wrong what if i had way less experience”

i understand this is a prompting issue but how does one know if they have them

i think there isn’t a point in the future where vibecoded stuff is exactly what you want, even if you don’t know if it’s what you don’t want

[vague vortex]

well I think that's why you should use it for the general idea... like, you get a block of marble, then sculpt it

which in some cases works better than shaping wet clay for months

[rigid snow]

you got it all backwards. you architect, let llm implement

any other way = shit code

[vague vortex]

oh, I was thinking still about "and then I improve on it later"

wasting 0.4% of registers

so irresponsible

[fast pagoda]

b200/300 etc are continuation of segment of A100/H100/

b = blackwell

in the case of blackwell here the datacenter ones are 2 dies combined

b100 ended up not being released i believe

b300 is based on gb110 not gb100

and is for inference

no fp64 performance

[vague vortex]

Something terrible has happened here.

[civic pilot]

How do I mod a game for Neuro using only a MacBook? And my limited knowledge on coding

I need to somehow “start” with coding

Idk how to

And I’m not sure if modding is possible for MacBook only

[hard delta]

depends entirely on the game lel

[civic pilot]

Child of light

Neuro as the “princess” Aurora

And I wanna make art for her evil sister

It’s so accurate

The lore

[hard delta]

once you're familiar with modding the game, you just make a way for her to control it with more verbal commands and provide that for vedal's number one little helpers to maybe pick up

[civic pilot]

I wouldn’t know how to make it accessible for Neuro

[hard delta]

for now you don't seem to know much about the game you wanna mod tho, so maybe find it's modding community

[civic pilot]

I feel like that’s the hardest part of it???

[civic pilot]

I know a lot about the game, hardly anything about coding

Oh, right sorry

I read it wrong

[jagged turtle]

yea

also what do you currenty know about coding

[civic pilot]

It’s just annoying

I haven’t started learning coding yet

I even do computing in gcses in school

But missed so much

Skipped school for years

[hard delta]

honestly, I'd just do my dailies and wait for the adhd to focus on something else

but we've seen magic before

[civic pilot]

You play gacha games??

[jagged turtle]

ooh, maybe start with that?

[civic pilot]

Yh, Ik

But starting seems hard

Got any tips or videos for me, maybe?

Please

[hard delta]

my only tip is that you won't have a working result in less than half a year of diligent focused daily progress

if that sounds uncomfortably long, don't start xd

[civic pilot]

I’m determined

It seems important to me

[velvet vale]

okay so now the next question is what mac do you have

[hard delta]

then ignore the game or neuro for a while and just learn for learning

[civic pilot]

Wdym?

[civic pilot]

So I have to pay to do the coding?

I’m pretty sure…

[velvet vale]

exactly that which mac do you have

the model

[civic pilot]

Idk

[velvet vale]

you can find out by clicking the apple logo at the top of the screen

[civic pilot]

I’ll get my Mac

[velvet vale]

and clicking about mac

[civic pilot]

I’m on my phone rn

[jagged turtle]

what?

you shouldn't need to

[civic pilot]

I doubt I can do much just within the “terminal” app

Sure, I’ve used it for yt-dlp

But Idk about real coding

[ruby star]

I’ve built apps using just the basic textEdit app, but I wouldn’t recommend it :P

[warped narwhal]

let me introduce you to vim

[civic pilot]

Does my age matter for when I start learning coding?

[jagged turtle]

no, usually people don't use terminal for writing their code

[jagged turtle]

no

[velvet vale]

dont you even

[velvet vale]

not at all
