>>107627979Oh yeah I guess the second question is now relevant as well, btw even most consumer NVMes are fucked in a mini PC chassis without heatsinking/airflow. >can I check the internal sizing easily?The answer is no and that yes you would have to manually test. So unless you want to add your findings to benchmarking data or you're chasing borderline imaginary performance, 4K alignment is probably going to render any difference irrelevant.and fuck it while I'm feeling charitable I'll answer the final question >blah blah blah RAM RAM is not going to get cheaper, or potentially even be in stock for fucking ages. Always buy your RAM in a 'final configuration' and buy more than you need, so just buy 4x32GB and cope. You're going to benefit from more memory surface in 2DPC. The real answer is have more money and buy RAM yesterday, but it is what it is. I'm no cuck that polices people's RAM totals, but I kind of have to agree with the other anon considering you're being choosey in this climate.

Anna's Archive backed up around 300TB Spotify (metadata and music files). And they are going to distribute it through to torrents.https://annas-archive.org/blog/backing-up-spotify.html
>>107622026The only reason is if you are going to process the file further (e.g. slow it down). For listening the lossy compression does not matter.>>107623630>Eww compressed and lossy shitAre you implying there is a problem with lossless compression (or compression in general)?
>>107628123You are downloading 320kbps mp3s, which aren’t the same as khz (your mp3s aren’t even the equivalent of lossless 44.1khz)
how would you store that? 200gb blu-rays cost an arm and magnetic tapes even more.
>>107622026it's better to encode to opus from lossless than from mp3, for example. because of that we should keep lossless audios around because one day we will eventually have better codecs than opus. but when it comes to listening, yeah, 96kbps opus is enough for 99% of cases ( http://opus-bitrates.anthum.com/ )
>>107631446>how would you store that?My first thought would be to make a storage cluster with 20TB HDDs. If I had the time and money, I'd totally setup a homelab and host my own Spotify based on Anna's archive.
>download software that /g/ says is a good image viewer>it's a trojan bitcoin miner
>>107631442>software that /g/ says is a good image viewersoftware that *annh9b's bots* says is a good image viewer
I don't understand why it's so hard to make a good image viewer. Honeyview (now Bandiview) is probably the best one I've used. It's instant, switches between images without delay, supports all the modern file formats, it has a minimal interface etc.

>>107631283Honestly, yeah.I've tried using other people's bots, but they never really appeal to me the same way my own ones do.The main draw of AI is that it can appeal to my extremely specific tastes, in the way that an actual human being with free will never could.

what's a software tool you wish existed, that doesn't? Particularly something centered around privacy or freedom.
Software that will automatically send newfags like >>107629649 back to r*ddit
>>107627681Ditto. XMPP is awesome for what it is, and the fact that it's an open ecosystem is great. But most of the clients are lacking. Particularly on mobile. The desktop ones are passable. Conversations is fine, but there's no other good Android clients at feature parity. iOS seems to be even worse off.

>>107631448You never noticed how every single BerenSTEIN Bears book was changed to BerenSTAIN Bears?
>DID YOU JUST OPEN THE DEVELOPER CONSOOOOOOOOOOOOLEHow did they know?
>>107631373That's the problem with computers. Control is an illusion, they're just "follow command" machines. If you're the one giving the commands, you have control. You can "open new window" whenever you want. If someone else gives the exact same command, suddenly it's "malware".
>>107631348>>107630891
>>107631396It's just sad that the ideological playing field is such that chuds (and myself) have all the energy to complain but none of the energy to start their own own fork or new project. It's just an inevitable culture divide, the totalitarians are drawn to the huge preexisting monolith projects that provide plenty of avenues for them to worm their way in and devour like so many termites, whereas the whole concept repulses the independence-minded types so they aren't drawn to getting involved in a large enough project to produce a workable browser that doesn't have all the mess from the ground up. Unless you just willingly submit yourself to shit like Lynx that's never going to work with modern sites you'll eventually need, i.e. banking and whatever.

Browsers. Firefox is okay, but its recent decisions make me want to switch. I use Linux, which gives me a bit more variety. I tried to use a terminal-based web browser as my main browser, but it won't work for everything.I am considering switching to Brave, but I am not so sure about that.Does any anon know some good browsers?
>>107631066Is it still based on 7 year old Firefox code? How's viewing modern websites?
>>107631202Edge is on Linux too
>>107631220Microsoft Edge is proprietary spyware unless you're using it in the Microsoft ecosystem in which case it's totally okay
>>107627303Firefox is more than 50% owned by Google, but it's the only non Chromium browser if you don't count it's forks, will have full support of uBO forever.Brave pretends to be Firefox on Chromium, shills Crypto, sold it's soul to Palantir, will lose uBO support (like any other Chromium browser) soon™, and their integrated blocker is as "good" as uBO Lite.Google Chrome is, well, Google Chrome, gonna just put Safari in the Chrome line because there's just no point in these 2.Microsoft Edge is, well, owned by Microsoft, sadly it is the fastest option on Windows 10 & 11 if you use that, they still support uBO but will eventually stop.Opera/OperaGX is just a complete meme overall, no need to even mention them being a Chinese honeypot, because the browser itself is worse than being just a honeypot.Vivaldi is "ok", but they pretend they won't get into AI just to bait their users, their browser is literally based on Chromium, lol, their UI is also childish/mid.TL;DR: All browsers are fucking dogshit, not a single one respects you including their makers, and all of them have AI in them, including Firefox & Vivaldi, which a lot of people don't know apparently, just use whatever looks prettier to you and runs better on your machine.
>>107627303I use Vivaldi. The worst part is that it's closed source, but I enjoy the features. Built-in email client that is honestly the most sane email client I've come across, native vertical tabs and gestures. It being Chromium based is good for both privacy (fingerprinting) and for addon compatibility.

OpenAI solved IMO using a plain LLM, unlike DeepMind, who used a custom system based on Lean 4. Some myths that people are coping with (with answers):* AIs saw these problems in their training data -- No, OpenAI got the problems within minutes of IMO ending* AIs used a lot more time -- No, OpenAI's model had the same amount of time.* They used a boutique system designed for solving IMO problems -- Only DeepMind. OpenAI used a general LLM.AI is already smarter than you.In b4: spelling gotchas and image-based tasks, or people who never used top of the line LLMs like gemini-3-pro and gpt-5-high.
>>107630491i demand you take down that picture of me beside my cousinwife's trailer
>>107629669I mean, I suck at math anyway.But it still can't code the shit I am coding.
>>107629669Don't care. I can prostate cum myself. Ai recoil at the very idea. Useless garbage.
>>107629669openai is still using tools like lean for reinforcement learning. it's no coincidence that we can see LLMs do really well in domains where you can easily use reinforcement learning while they are still pretty mediocre in other domains. internal chatter from openai suggests that they themselves have given up on the "generalist" approach to superintelligence last year and are now trying to get better in specific domains while reducing operating costs and delegating the "can a generalist AI become a superintelligence?" back to a research question that requires coming up with an architecture different from LLMs. iow, they're trying to make the entire thing profitable and have put the superintelligence idea on the backburner.also worth pointing out that harmonic, with another system based on lean, also got a gold medal. their LLM even outputs lean proof certificates, so you could easily convince yourself that the proof is sound without having to check it manually. i think that's a huge benefit over deepmind and openai and massively decreases the amount of trust required.>AIs used a lot more timethis is still true. it would be interesting to have an IMO-like competition where all competitors are more restrained both in terms of how much time they get and what kind of computational resources they get, but given the shoddy organization of the AI IMO this year, it likely won't happen. i've also heard through the grapevine that none of the AI companies are really interested in competing at the IMO again now that they have a gold medal because the IMO was a one-off publicity stunt for all of them, its publicity value has diminished and everyone built non-reusable IMO-specific offshoots of their systems (that also got far more computational resources than your average LLM prompt).
>>107629669Lmao, these models have 0 intelligence, a fucking cat is smarter let alone a human that's not brown.
is it actually possible to see the difference? or is it just contrarians?
>>107627699
>>107598457seriously, I never looked back. Fuck vlc, even the mobile version is annoying, shit stutters everytime you start a video.
>>107592470I did notice a difference which made me switch permanently: I have a ton of weeb anime with Opus audio, and it tends to crackle on VLC for no good reason. It's not even a recent, unknown audio format, and I have noticed it frequently enough that it pissed me enough to switch after nearly 20 years of using VLC for everything. Fuck knows why it even happens, but at least the audio's clear in MPV, same as if I opened the video file on an audio player like foobar2000.
>>107592470mpv has better man pages
>>107631210Sadly I haven't found a free good alternative to VLC on iOS, which also lets you transfer files wirelessly
