>>107563468God I hope so.
>>107563496Just don't worry, buddy. I think that's the one thing that was different in that interview; I was already over it all and was honest about my failures as much as my strengths. Be honest, even in your endless sin.Well, within limits. Don't actively dissuade them or anything. Just be reasonable. Don't be normal, but be natural. For all you know, it could be a very desperate small team looking to take on the first non-retard they find, or it could be a crew of degenerates who will like you more than they dislike your not being a unicorn.
>>107562270draw the bat from the sand in the park and seek your destiny
>>107563451You really should ask that question to your recruiter or point of contact. In a smaller company without a dedicated recruiter you should have asked that at the end of your last interview, or basically whoever told you you'd have a 30 minute interview is the person to also ask what the interview is going to be about. There's no reason you should be sitting here trying to guess, blindly assuming, asking other anons and stressing about what it is.
>>107563623You should be able to adapt to it being a vibe check or technical skill gate on the spot, imo. I'm not even actively trying to be mean, here; such a thing happens every day, and really, every interview is both. Even with the vibe-checking HR roastie, you should be trying to show your worth to the company, and in a technical interview, they want to see someone who can solve problems and only be autistic in the right ways.They could give you complete information, but no battle plan even survives allies, let alone the enemy. It sounds like "just be yourself" and it really is; but be your deranged, sinful, awful, educated, experienced, curious self, laid bare, so that they can see that you are of value, however small.
Wah-wah-waaaaah!
>>107563446>once you learn to roll your own LORA off of your own code using huggingface models that are specifically designed for your taskredpill me on this, i thought this was too demanding to do locally
>>107563494NTA, LORA works by adding auxiliary parameters to existing layers. You train these parameters by effectively freezing the existing model and only modifying the new ones.These new weights are treated sort of like a patch file when the params are loaded into RAM/vRAM.TL;DR, roughly speaking, training time/cost is proportional to the number of new parameters and training data, not the existing model.
>>107563494oh definitely not. the hardware is to the point that you can run lower-resolution versions of larger models and they're good enough to use on your own hardware. I don't have any good resources on it but I know someone who does >>107555795 I've referenced this a bunch:https://mjunya.com/en/posts/2024-09-22-generate-hf-datasets-using-builder-class/
>>107563521does that apply to image loras as well? so theoretically, i can train it on 5gb of pictures of myself and create a false digital trail that deceives my enemies?
>>107563612>does that apply to image loras as well?I'm admittedly not experienced with creating them myself, I've only really seen them used with LLMs, but I doubt that's the only possible use case.Just remember the golden rule about param count and overfitting I guess.
>use case for HDR>use case for 4K>use case for high refresh rateSHUT THE FUCK UP. It's not my fault you are a broke code monkey college student that's going to get replaced by AI in 5 years. These technologies make everything better.

>>107563527enabling HDR in windows. what else is there that could be related?
>>107563542Calculate your Windows SDR to HDR brightness slider and set it to that. Maybe run HDR calibration?
>>107563542First trap for the ignorant. HDR in Windows uses a bad gamma curve for SDR (desktop) to HDR conversion and the result is raised black levels basically, it makes the entire image look low contrast and washed out and it's not the monitor's fault.
>>107563583This is only in games / media and only if you don't use AutoHDR (sucks), RTX HDR or your own wrappers (for games that don't support HDR).You can use a custom curve, but it's pointless for actual HDR content.https://github.com/dylanraga/win11hdr-srgb-to-gamma2.2-icm

I filter a lot of repetitive nonsense, I think it substantially improves the 4chan experienceI'm sure it might.

I know. "If you give them attention, they win." Well if you admit this thought into your mind they have already "won" a more serious battle over you. They have erected barriers in your mind. "I can't say what I think, or they win somehow..."—who cares lol. I am completely indifferent to whether they think they won or they lost. And in this case I think this tard actually is trying and failing to be funny; inasmuch as he thinks "LOL I made someone mad" it's a transparent cope and I doubt he really believes it. If he does make himself believe this, so much the worse for him—it is a victory when your enemy is forced to defensively adopt false ideas.

humiliation ritual
I've got a final interview for a security position with a fortune 500 company tomorrow. It's only scheduled for 30 minutes so am I wrong in assuming that it's mainly going to be a culture fit screening? I'm still reviewing some technical stuff but with that time limit I can't imagine covering too many situations.
3 interviews this week, might have a 4th incoming…So done with this but I need to get through it don’t want to be a cuck that just takes the first offer without even exploring all my options
I work in the banking industry but I use complicated excel formulas and some Python.Do I count as a tech worker?
>>107563586As much as I do. I'm told it's not a lot, but I don't particularly care. Should you?
