it's over. the infinite AI investment money is drying up.
>>107852972YC 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.
>>107852955>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.I wonder if this has something to do with how tech is viewed in those countries. NA, Europe, Africa have all been burned pretty badly by big tech companies while South America (I don't think they even support AI that much though), India and East Asia have largely grown because of them. I also think that China heavily regulates their slop usage as well.
>>107847490generating math code for calculations and exectuing it is actually the smart way of doing itnot that it justifies llm slop
>>107853030I actually cut some of the same points from my reply. It's common for all VCs to have a stable of trusted C-suite types who have a history of turning around failing investments to prep for sale or IPO. Once the VC gets their money back they move those people to the next problem investment. There's no way that Phind got money without a solid plan and "adults" to ensure they stay on task. That's obviously why they immediately shifted their business plan and ditched all the free leeches. My guess is they have some competency in scraping based on previous work, and we all know AI needs more scraped content. And I'm sure there are some other YC companies they can be quietly paired up with to provide that data with.

Light themes are objectively superior to dark themes, why do so many people still choose dark?
>>107835866you claiming it's objective doesn't make it so and I could undo you with the flick of a finger you stupid midget.
>>107835866Because light themes give me seizures

>>107835866They don't know how to turn the monitor brightness down. It really is that simple.

Someone is trying to shut it down
>>107853175It's been super broken lately. I archived some pages from a small forum a few months ago because it was going to get shutdown, checked it and they all archived correctly, but a few months later I wanted to open them again and half of the pages returned "this page is not archived," with the actually archived pages having half their images missing.It wasn't actively censored, it wasn't a political forum, and neither the missing threads nor the images were different to the ones that survived. It's down every other day, so it looks like when they reboot whatever server they have, it simply ignores the latest saved pages and they get lost forever or something.
>>107853175Other websites have failure too
why is brave so popular among normies? literally every irl normalfag i know has this shit installed and they always say the exact same lines like "this browser is better because it bocks ads by default" or "this browser is more secure and private" or "brave is better because it doesn't eat your ram and is faster"where did they learn this nonsense? they all look like brainwashed ignorants

previous: >>107841306#define __NR_mprotect 10this guy is pretty similar to mmap in a lot of ways, with the obvious difference being that mprotect only lets you change the protections of mappings which already exist.since we didn't talk about SIGSEGV much in the last thread, perhaps that could be the focus of this one?relevant resources: man manman syscallshttps://man7.org/linux/man-pages/https://linux.die.net/man/https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/https://elixir.bootlin.com/musl/https://elixir.bootlin.com/glibc/
#define __NR_mprotect 10
man man
man syscalls
i'll give it a bmup
>>107851217What's an example usage of mprotect? I understand why the kernel would need to be able to set permissions on pages, but why would this need to be done at the user level?Maybe if you want to do something with a JIT? You could dump machine code straight into RAM and mark the pages as executable. I don't think mprotect really does much for security, because your code can just call it anytime. Maybe if you have a virtual environment in your program that you can enter and exit, then it can be helpful for security? You'd need to male sure that the virtual environment can never call mprotect.
>>107853273Usually there's a forbidden page just past the end of stack memory so that you crash in case of a stack overflow. This sort of thing isn't airtight but it can be very helpful.I think it tends to be a mitigation, something that hopefully prevents bad consequences once something else has gone wrong.
Besides the fact that its low powered and cute n tiny. Whats the advantage of buying a raspberry pi for $160 versus buying something like a used hp elitedesk g3 for less than $100? Why pay more for less computing power? Besides people out there living off the grid trying to conserve power, i dont understand the point of these things
>>107853463what? are you insane?
>>107853640sure, but that's bigger and I didn't pay 160. I paid maybe 50. I completely support avoiding the current rpi stupidity. Radxa makes more affordable products with good support.

About to get a software developer degreeSchool I went to sucked and I can barely codewat do
>>107850176You cant trial and error shit you weren't properly taught.
>>107848236As long as you can memo simple shits like making your own linked list or traversing a tree, you should be fine, since in industry it’s mostly about product design rather than technical work, and technical shit is usually "offloaded" to AI, like you will mostly learning with AI and reading your coworker doc. The main problem is just the chance of actually landing a job
>>107848236dont be sad I got a phd in physcis and still cant do physics. You learn these things with the time I only ever worked on electronics and thats 100% intuition so no need for concepts anymore. You just need to practice it.
>>107848236It's been about a decade since I've seen a job posting for development, pretty sure it's all just jeets exclusively hiring other jeets now.

>>107851589Very pretty. Sora?
>>107853066Thank you. No, it's NBP, Sora doesn't support 2K resolution and 3:4 AR; it's inspired by this:https://pinterest.com/pin/65794844552402303/but direct txt2img written by Gemini:>**Subject & Narrative:**> A captivating, three-quarter portrait of a young girl with a glorious mane of cascading, copper-red hair, standing amidst the awakening blooms of a spring orchard. She pauses to gently cradle a branch of white apple blossoms, her pale, porcelain skin dusted with a constellation of natural freckles. Her expression is serene and knowing, with a subtle, soft smile and bright eyes engaging the viewer. She wears a textured, wide-brimmed woven straw hat that frames her face, and a delicate white dress with intricate lace trim on the sleeves, suggesting an Edwardian summer elegance.>**Artistic Style & Medium:**> An oil painting in the virtuoso style of John Singer Sargent. The piece should feature his signature "alla prima" technique, utilizing bold, confident, and fluid brushstrokes. The texture of the paint is visible, particularly in the white lace of the dress and the highlights of the hair. The rendering of the face is smooth but painterly, capturing the luminosity of skin. 3:4 aspect ratio.>**Lighting & Color Palette:**> The lighting is natural and dappled, characteristic of painting "en plein air." The color palette is lush and sophisticated: vibrant warm ochres and burnt siennas for the hair, contrasted against a background of deep, varying forest greens and soft shadowed foliage. The white dress is not pure white but composed of thick impasto strokes of cream, pale blue, and lavender to represent shadow and reflected light, a hallmark of Sargent’s mastery over white fabric.>**Composition & Atmosphere:**> The background is a loose, impressionistic wash of green bokeh and vague floral shapes, keeping the focus sharply on the subject. The atmosphere is romantic, timeless, and breathable, capturing the fleeting beauty of youth and spring.
>>107853452I see. Very nice, thank you for sharing! I shall have to try NBP sometime, it's the only generator i haven't tried yet.
