Nowadays it's the same with Snapchat and Instagram, Facebook was the hot thing when I was still a middle schooler, they totally replaced it.
I'm into college now, I've entered the nerd space (educated people) and barely anyone uses Snapchat and Instagram. Everyone is on discord, we have a discord for the entire major and everything is organized for each subject for each year, important announcements are for everyone, you can just lurk no one will hold it against you.
First years still use Instagram though, but they fall off like flies because the major is tough as hell, proving that only dumbasses use Instagram or Snapchat.

then
# hasn't happened yet

you underestimate how most people use their phones. when removable batteries were around, most people never changed them when they wore out, they just got a new phone. when sd card slots were around, most people never used them. if there was enough demand for these things then they'd still be available because the profit would outweigh the cost savings, but most people are not autistic tech dweebs

They are deploying jeets to 4chan to try to literally SHAME people into using AI. On /pol/ there is a daily feature now, "Why do browns and lefties hate AI so much?"

I think it relates to that chart I saw depicting how people in different countries viewed AI. In North America, Europe, and Africa (?) AI is viewed with hesitancy and suspicion. But in South America, India, and East Asia they are just hyped about it.

They KNOW the only people using AI are Asian or Indian or Hispanic. The AI code company heads have been having to tell their own coders to use their own AI because "if we don't use our own product how can we sell it to a customer" dogfood. And yet the actual programmers who do real work are resisting at every firm.

A couple days ago we saw that Linus was "vibe coding" and to me it just felt like product placement. Like somebody just gave him a suitcase with a million dollars to make that post.

The fakeness and gayness of AI is evident even to the normies. That's how bad it is now. The other problem is, lots of people in the US are seeing big spikes in their power bills, there's new competition for grid power. AI. And water. And the bean counters are jumping up and down with beet-red faces because of the capital outlay and depreciation, GPUs cook after going 24/7 full blast for years, they are not meant for that duty cycle. One guy said they might make their investments in AI back in "100 years" and that AI "should be seen as a long term investment."

If you didn't cash out like these jeets you will be left holding the bag and soon. And NVIDIA is the biggest stock bubble in history. Apple at least has fans, an ecosystem, luxury image, good software (compared to jeetdroid). They make actual money. They MAKE it. NVIDIA's GPUs will be replaced by something better and soon, they're too energy hungry and fundamentally a unified memory architecture solution will win. Big Jim already has his thing with TensTorrent. It will destroy NVIDIA.

Sigh. Because YC has years of VC investment under their belt and isn't going to allow it. Startups don't work like that. You get paid a "fair" but not excessive salary and they bribe you with shares in the company that vest over time. You get rich when the company succeeds and get a chance to sell those shares. If the company fails you get nothing and have wasted your time. That's part of the motivation to work extra hard and put in extra hours. Every new round of funding comes with restrictions and changes aimed at recouping the money.
>>
>>107852972
YC is also about compliance. You need to work with them to comply and once you get funded they will saddle you with insiders pulled from other YC properties. Slave drivers really. These are the people who will pick the head of HR and control hiring, which is the real goal of YC, because while "growth" used to mean more revenue, now it means hiring more people and getting more funding.

One of my favorite examples of this is Beatnik by Headspace, a Dotcom 1.0 bomb company that was actually promising. It was basically internet-delivered soundfonts in the era of MIDI and GM in particular, being what passed for Internet music. Some cards existed with soundfonts, but they all were particular and had their own quirks and you would need to use their utility to load new waves. This was a software solution that could "stream" much more realistic sounding music with custom instruments by first defining a set of soundfonts which essentially matched the raw patches in a synth, then applied things like envelopes and filters, finally allowing a sound much closer to that which the composer would hear on their nice workstation keyboard and rack modules. There was even work with vocals, in popular music you will often hear the same exact vocals played back several or even many times in a song, why not just save one of those instances and play it on demand?

This company was founded by a couple geeks and Thomas Dolby (another geek) as a sort of early better alternative to MIDI. And oh BOY did it get funded. Thomas Dolby? All the VCs rallied around and even though their product was SHIPPING with like SIX EMPLOYEES they suddenly hired another THOUSAND PEOPLE and there was growth and it was seen as THE Internet audio future, for a year. But they ended up sidelining the six guys and Thomas Dolby and bloating the product up and... the whole company died when the Dotcom crash happened and it's forgotten tech now.

It really doesn't matter as long as it's cache friendly.
In my library I just have a flat array of clickable rectangles and I loop through them every time. Only clickable/hoverable elements get an entry there, not layout stacks and stuff like that. But actually the elements themselves are stored in a flat contiguous array, so it would have been fine to just loop through all of them.
It really do be like that with modern cpus.

As "vibe coding" is rising, do you think programmers who actually know a programming language (or two) will be seen as weird low level kooks? Like assembly programmers have been for the last 30 years or so.

1. the prices of GPUs in Japan are already jacked up more than the already gigantic USDJPY exchange rate.
2. every store in akihabara is likely to be 10% more expensive on top of that just as a matter of course because they integrate that amount as savings for joining each respective "point club" (point cards are everything in japan)
3. access to more well-known brands is limited
4. I have no idea if American customs checks peoples' bags for GPUs but you may have to pay tariffs on it anyway. I know camerafags who've said they had to do this, apparently if you discard the box you're ok but glhf

It's unironically cheaper to import US parts and have them shipped than to buy locally in Japan sometimes

Upload the file somewhere, preferably in a lossless format, and post the link here. If you want to update your track, make a new post.
Include the song title in the post, and make it clear that your song is a submission for the album.
Optionally you may include cover art for your track, but please confirm that the image in your post is the cover art or it won't be included. You may not use your real artist name.
Songs that contain anything against YouTube's policies won't be uploaded on YT, but will still be added to the album.
By default, tracks will be normalised to -14 LUFS (integrated loudness) in the release. You may specify a lower loudness for your track.
Use of AI is banned. This includes AI generated stems, samples, and effects. "AI" includes all neural network-based models and not hard-coded automation/procedural generation. You are allowed to ask an LLM about music-related questions, but asking it to give you musical ideas (eg. generating a chord progression) is already a no-no.
