you got zero idea what you're talking about. The chips are now put into specialized architectures for AI, only the initial batches and legacy production lines were/are hoovered up as gamer graphic cards. It all tends towards specialization and optimization. The supply is the problem, right after electric power.

If you're using raw disk then you don't need to turn off COW since then you're not using the host's filesystem.

This is like saying people shouldn't version control with git and should just make an archive once a month. I mean sure, but that's an entirely different solution to an entirely different problem. You might as well make good architectural decisions, like git versioning and atomic updates are. Sorry, but atomic updates are objectively better. If you have any better ideas then feel free to make an OS or distro of your own.

I assume he dislikes sandisk because they're a popular brand but have a pretty bad failure rate compared to others like Samsung, Kingston and Kioxia.
I'm also very biased against PNY because I found them to be the only budget brand whose USB and mSD storage devices fail within a year. I've had a PNY device get cell corruption within 3 months. Meanwhile my 4-8 year old Kingston devices still work fine.

#define __NR_brk                12


now THIS is a strange syscall. it's always a good sign when the notes section advises you not to use a function, lol. if you haven't read any of the other man pages yet, go read this one: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/brk.2.html
>the actual Linux system call returns the new program break on success.
>On failure, the system call returns the current break.
such a bizarre api. there's lots of bookkeeping and hoops required if you dare to use this syscall for your allocator. but it's pretty neat to use in toy examples. it requires a very nonstandard approach

Every general is dead. Generals are what kills boards. Just look at this board. Half of it are generals with 3 users in them chatting like they're on IRC about gay off-topic shit. Then they have the gall to go to original threads and claim they're shitting up the board.

If you banned everyone in /ptg/, /twg/, /utwg/ or whatever the fuck the last two are called the quality of the board would rise by 99% in short order. Every general should be purged and every faggot posting in them that isn't trolling the general should be banned.
>>
>>107869809
Oh and ban the 10 AI generals too. Along with the one for mechanical keyboards and the daily programming general. Ban all generals. Purge all posters that use generals. They all should be sent to the pyre.

This isn't a /g/ problem it's a universal problem. /a/ is shit because it's all generals. I assume /v/ is all generals now too but I haven't looked at it in over a decade. If I see a catalog full of generals I know the board is not worth using at all.

The ONLY time generals are acceptable are for happenings. Once they serve their purpose they should be banned as well. Once the threads devolve into a bunch of faggots bumping it with off-topic posts and UwUing at each other while taking on personas they should be whacked with the ban hammer. You should be banned right now for posting a thread about a general. It's cancer.

You're not wrong.
But also... shut up? There's only two way to build a PC right now - either you sell your organs and/or prostitute yourself to afford the modern parts or you scavenge and get by with whatever you can actually afford. Your screeching and bitching is meaningless because it provides no valid alternative.
Actually, a shitbox assembled from ancient parts is still a great fucking option because obviously it will run some lightweight linux distro and not modern BezOS Cloudcuck edition.

hipaint is android copy of procreate, not as good but free or for few usd you can buy no add version, android also have concepts -app for drawing but you can use it as infinite canvas for note taking, clip studio paint is also very good for drawing but its subscription based

ipad or ipad mini for the aspect ratio and weight. half the android tablets are too heavy and hard to hold. the software situation is better on ios although its more locked down and harder to transfer files. surface line is not bad, but not worth the money unless you can get one really, really cheap. android tablets all have issues unless you are only going to read manga or play pirated games on an emulator.

>Song submission rules/guidelines
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.

Users do however care about brands. JPEG is a familiar name, and JXL has the massive advantage of inheriting its image, pardon the pun. AVIF is a useless descriptor of the format. Is it like a PNG? Is it like a JPEG? Is it a new and improved version of the AVI video format?

https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/102581788/#102597092

To clarify, pixDAIZ was a low-IQ impersonator and AVIF shill who used to post here and got BTFO with facts and logic by yours truly on multiple occasions. After he "vanished", everyone started accusing each other of being him, hence I adopted a tripname to distance myself. Daiz, the one actually going by the H264 tripcode, posted in favor of JPEG XL, which should already make it obvious that we are dealing with a different person to anyone who isn't suffering from Fregoli syndrome.
The real question is, did pixDAIZ really vanish? There have been a couple of other of pro-AVIF tripfags that acted suspiciously similar to him, but I err on the side of caution as the scientifically-minded skeptic I am.

This is also a problem with combining things under an abstraction, incidentally. There are almost always concrete things that aren't captured by abstractions that should capture them. So you either need better abstractions, which take more work, or more conditions that capture the edge cases. At some point, adding conditions defeats the purpose of the abstraction (which is to compress many concepts into a single concept) because the abstraction then is less expressive than the concepts themselves

You also see something analogical in other fields. For instance, touch screens in cars are a cost-cutting strategy. Here, instead of expressiveness we're optimizing for cost, and so our abstraction is a physical thing (touch screens) standing in for many other physical things (knobs, buttons, toggles, etc). But, despite that touch screen can do everything those other interface elements can do, touch screens don't do them well, and you lose details like tactile feedback
