>>107891268being smart enough to interpret what went wrong if you get an output you didn't like and correct it before spamming on 4chan "x model sucks"
>>107891259Oh! Sorry for being retarded. Kind of missed that, lol. Thanks!
>>107890149
>>107891268if youre not willing to write 4-6 paragraphs of your own each time, the models will never be good
>>107891279nahgemini's filter is strong and most anons have no clue how to get over it from what i've gathered, moreover it follows instructions very closely so if your prompts suck, your output will suck tooit also has a strong tendency to flanderize characters so on top of that you need to (re-)engineer your cards in a way the model likesonce it gets going, though, it can be pretty goodthe chink models are sometimes retarded so you have to prepare your prompt in a certain way, but once you get over their quirkiness, they are really good modelsif your cards are decent (ie., not ai slop, and with a lot of examples of how you'd like your reply to be) you're all setsonnet and opus pretty much work out of the box because they were heavily trained on reddit data so they 'know' what to expect out of 99% of this board's populationyou can pretty much input anything and you'll get something decent albeit it's always claude in a wig but it doesn't seem to bother most redditors so if you're one don't worry
Something about them seems to good to be true to me, but maybe i'm too schizo
What’s your use case
>>107891087it's not a free service. it's a limited free tier for a paid service.people end up liking it and pay for it to get more speed.
>>107891104I think he meant in general, not Proton specifically. Free VPNs tend to be shady and a bunch of them got called out for all kinds of data harvesting.
>>107891098Mainly their drive for backups and "proton pass" for password management, which are the things that seem sketchy to me
>>107891018>>107891043>>107891083I don't use Proton but I do find "everything that claims to care about your privacy is actually a fed honeypot backdoor spyware botnet blah blah" posts to be extremely fucking suspicious. Can't think of a single privacy-related bit of software that hasn't been the target of tons of these types of posts. Feds trying to get people to give up or trying to herd people away from anything that works? Or just pseuds that think being extremely cynical and skeptical about everything inherently makes them smart?

>>107891102$40k is close to the median annual wage in about half the states in America. It's exactly coastal state niggers like you who think you need to make 6 figures to be middle class that I don't want to have to compete against for jobs.
>>107891139i promise you no one is competing for your jobs in bum fuck Oklahoma lol.
>>107891154That's my point. I want to see more of these jobs because they're going to be in nicer predominantly white areas where jeets like you don't want to live.
The problem is though that even jobs in the middle of nowhere are still offering $80k salaries and attracting hundreds of applicants. I just want a job that pays below the average wage so there's an actual realistic chance of getting it.
>>107891234employers get the ick when you tell them you're willing to work for less because it signals low confidence in your skills
It is fucking wild how bad it isIt's like they were trying
>>107891311>why is every app since the dawn of modern computing made for windowsNo idea, they're all electron apps anyway so why not just package them for Linux too
I bought a Lenovo yoga 7 the other day, came with windows 11. I’ve used Linux for close to a decade now so I was gonna remove it anyways but I wanted to see what all the fuss was. It did not disappoint. >horrible performance>shit battery life, around 5 hours>random stutters and freezes for no reason >a fucking loading screen to open settings (????) >constant pop ups on the desktop>ads built directly into the start menu>advertizes copilot constantly >try out copilot and it can’t even do simple shit >takes 8 attempts to open notepad >ask it trivia and it just gets the answers wrong and then tries fo gaslight me The breaking point for me was trying to install Firefox and having an ad injected into my search for edge browser. Utterly fucking dystopian.
>>107891269>outsourcing to devs who'll accept $5 an hour>vibe coding>using JAVA you pay peanuts you get monkeys
>>107891269pajeets + AI = disaster
I like how Windows 11 has completely abandoned muscle memory design so everything moves around and is in a different position every time you open a window.the taskbar menu is fucking bizarre

>>107891305why would you need a standalone dac/amp with any Koss
>>107891341they scale well
>>107891153Probably Verum 2 but the guy making them is a fucking schizo. Get DCA Aeon RT or HD6XX if you want something made by someone sane. HD490 Pro, FT1 Pro or JT7 are also legitimately good options.>>107891289That was my impression of them as well. The egg shaped Hifimans like Arya have lots of internal resonances and a huge spike beyond 10k which makes them extremely harsh. Unfixable even with EQ. Compare CSD plots of Hifiman headphones with Sennheiser/Audeze/DCA and you'll notice the Hifiman ones look awful, with lots of sharp spikes. That's audible.
>>107891177I don't really like the HD600/650 sound. Are the other Senn headphones better?>>107891365>schizoIs that the ukranian made headphones?
>>107891379>>schizo>Is that the ukranian made headphones?Yes. His new model measures really well but the guy is too unstable for me to even consider buying his shit. I remember him threatening to send poison or something like that to some reviewer that didn't like his headphones.
VR was supposed to replace smartphonesWhy didn't that happen?
Lightgun schizo is my least favorite schizo shitting up vr discussion. I genuinely don't know why you feel invited to screech about your niche garbage every time.
Is there really no indie Dev besides VRchat that grew a successful company using VR? Meta really fucked the entire ecosystem, without them buying up and locking every successful Dev in a dungeon there would have been enough success stories to have built an attractive ecosystem. Looking in after ignoring it feels like I'm looking at exactly the same shit I was seeing in the 2010s, it's crazy how absolutely no progress was made in 10 years.
>>107877917>mentally unwellwhat are my options here?
>>107890667I agree with you. VRC is a fairground novelty. That said, learning what VRchat’s limitations are (from a developer’s standpoint) and seeing attempt original VR ideas is really great. I’ve likened it to some as GeoCities in the late 90s. VRC still has a lot in common with Web 1.0.Note that you can experience the vast majority of the game without VR and VR isn’t required to have a good time there. So the original point that it’s tech demo/fairground novelty stands. It’s not mainstream.
>>107891008>then create your ownI did, you gibbering retard. And, like I said, IMUs can't fucking KEEP UP WITH SOLENOIDS.Weight and feedback are both critical to the experience. >there will be a thousand more important things going on for controller shape to matter in any significant way.No, there won't.

> learn to codeClaud code is better than a team lead by this principle software engineer at Google.
>>107889711Nobody besides salesmen and (ironically enough) hysterical anti-AI people suggested that it is. Imagine that: when you use a tool you actually get to know its strengths and weaknesses and how to operate it, and when you have no clue because you basically never touched it, you go off of stupid headlines designed to bait you into engaging.
>>107889715Look at this street-shitter replying to himself.
>>107888888Holy digits

This is the worst design of all time. Kill the person responsible for these armrests.
removed these retarded side bolsters too while i was at it. the metal supports are still there but they dont touch and round my shoulders anymore. dont buy gaming chairs
>>107890504I recently did this after 4 fucking years of dealing with them, I regret not doing it day 1. I've probably fucked my shoulders up for life because of this.>>107890523I fucking hate these too. Retarded fucking shitty chair design. I need to buy a new one
>>107888314Idk the ones on my Leap are goated, sitting in an aeron right now, I don't feel the difference.
>>107890095>I still don't know what the use case for arm rests is.To rest your arms on
>>107891147the aeron recline is S+ tier, you are lucky to fit the chair. i was too tall for even the size C model>>107891077if you live near a herman miller showroom or something i recommend going, then just buy it used. if you are anywhere close to average height and weight (especially height) there should be some good chairs for you
Is there a core reason why nobody seems to even care about non Nvidia GPUs?Should I buy an AMD PC in 2026?I think an 5700xt is like 200 usd.
>>107891322>haven't used AMD in yearsTo be fair they were literally still selling Vega in high-end laptop chips just 3 years ago.
>>107891354And I have local stores selling "ultra performance 4K gaming computers" with old gen i3's and GTX 870 cards in them. You can always find shit computers with outdated hardware.
>>107891376>GTX 870780. Fat fingered the hell out of that. Though I did see a desktop with a fucking 870m chip in it..
>>107891113I'm not buyign anything with a 16pin connector so nvidia is a no-go.once my rx7900x is dead i'll buy whatever highest-end there is between intel or amd, nvidia can suck my fucking dick>>107891322>As someone who has both Nvidia and AMD rigs at home, I have more issues with Nvidia.yeah nvidia drivers are utter dogshit since the launch of the rtx50 and they don't care about it anymore now that it's a datacenter-only company
My only nvidia GPU was a GeForce 6
>this is the FP performance of a 7900 XTXHow in the everloving fuck is Radeon not smoking NVIDIA GPUs all these years with these numbers? What if they were able to run the same software as though NVIDIA made them? AMD GPUs have always had more raw teraflops over the years (especially double precision, such as on the Radeon VII) and yet this is never reflected in most real world tasks. Seriously, on paper this should handily beat an RTX 4080. Can someone explain WTF is going on here? Why is this calculator not out-calculating the other calculator despite being able to do more calculations? Are the calculations just retarded and less valuable than the other calculations from the other calculators and thus not directly comparable or what?
>>107881006The 7000 series are such shit cards i feel sorry for anyone that bought one
>>107881006Nobody buys radeon so nobody optimizes for radeon. Nvidia is a cult and they will more for less just to get a green box
>>107887811You mean AMD's QuickSyncusing novideo marketing term makes you look like an idiot
>>107890619>QuickSynclol isnt that intel? doesn't amd call theirs 'vcn' (video core next)?
>>107881445just wanted to add another disappointed ROCm voice. it is really scuffed. amdgpu crashes, libhsa.so null pointer derefs, pytorch bedshitting... its all over the place. and best of all is its non-deterministic - youll be running some pytorch workload fine for 10 mins, then crash. 20 mins, then crash.a lot of talk about how its 'almost there' but we've heard that for a long time now...its not so much the "nvidia tax" as much as its the price of having something that works reliably. i dont know why no other hardware vendor has their shit together, maybe it really is a conspiracy, but reliable GPGPU is coming exclusively from apple and nvidia.
At what point does the syntax become so terrible that its simply not worth using the language no matter the benefits it might have under the hood? Because c# is the most disgusting shit ive ever seen in my life. Why would they call it "c#"? It doesnt seem similar to c in any way. I mean to be honest the only thing ive ever done with it is write hello world then immediately rage deleted .NET off my system because the syntax disgusted me so much. Whats confusing to me is knowing that many people have actually kepy using the lang after that point. Whats the worst syntax youve ever seen?
>>107890231That's what the best Rust developers on the planet, working or cloudflare, thought as well.Don't blindly trust your ugly ass language, just because some government propaganda told you that it is safe.Also grooming yourself into attaching .unwrap() everywhere and considering it a totally normal thing, is how you will crash every single server of your corporation in the near future.>b but i have to .unwrap(), even when it is impossible to ever panicThat just means the language is bad.
>>107890285>muh cloudflaredo you actually have an argument?

Does hiding an 8 year employment gap on a resume by saying you were freelancing ever work?
>>107890907>8 year employment gapI doubt it.what happened during that time, anon? do you even have experience working in tech?
>>107891179I worked for 7 years before that in web dev, lived off crypto doing nothing for the past 8 years, now I'm trying to get a job again because I'm nearly broke.

>ruins desktop computing
>>107891189Now do GPU accelerated rendering cross-platform and cross nvidia-amd-intel -apple M GPUs. I can shit webgl shaders that just always work with electron.
>>107891165just because you're too lazy to learn them doesn't mean they're bloated. Vue's gzipped bundle size is 46 kB.Electron's minimum bundle size is 100+ MB, so it's a drop in the bucket.
>>107891271>npm init with only electronhm, I'll give it a try. I once made a led strip controller for RPi with just node and electron. working with them was a pretty good experience. I wouldn't mind using them for making desktop programs.
>>107891294what for? are you talking about games or desktop applications?Java has an OpenGL library https://www.lwjgl.org/. it's what Minecraft uses.
>>107889564If something is electron I just use web version. It belongs in the browser - a containment zone.
