Why is /g/ so anti-seeding?
I get made fun of for seeding here.
Don't you want information to be free?
>>
>>106450911
They pretend to be based online and they think seeding is not based because you're doing anything for the benefit of somebody else. They are aware this idea is wrong and they are in fact secretly seeding.

>No communist has ever contributed even slightly to fixing the billionaire problem in the US and if we ever fix that problem in this country, the communists will still be crying about made up identity politics or complaining that the border exists.
The strongest borders to ever exist were in Communist countries. You need to stop conflating the pretend liberals who want to have pretend communism while still using all of Porky's tech empire with actual people who struggled to be free of them.

The billionaire problem in the US isn't going to be voted on. At worst they will receive slight fines. They will never have any kind of legislation that ever gives real freedom back to the American people.

I don't hate AI on principle, I hate these companies that are pushing it so hard because you KNOW they are going to squeeze every bit of profit from it while destroying the job market without a change in the current economic system. I also hate as a semi-schizo tech person how much they are integrating AI into... well, everything and how much of a security hole that it is going to open if not trained properly nor overseen.
>>
>>106450916
I hate it for a different reason: AI is unprofitable, they have not found a real niche for it that is not making glorified chat bots or replacements for things that were already tertiary art forms like writing and design. Things that I don't want a computer doing over a person.

In their quest to make lemonade out of lemons they're going to do some seriously fucked up shit with it and we're already seeing it with things like Flock: Worldwide gangstalking, recording everybody from cradle to grave and using predictive technology to better advertise to people while also hoarding more data on them than their doctor is legally allowed to have. And governments will bend to them, and allow poorly trained models loaded with security holes to have all of this data because it may make big line go up.

This isn't even getting into how Google has had 4 data breaches so far this year and you can retrieve almost any face, art, or conversation trained with Gemini by just prompting it correctly. So much so that this became a scandal over it last month that people forgot about because big line must go up without question.

I'm a computer repair tech.
I didn't need any certs. I mentioned that I had one that expired a while ago, but most of my co-workers don't have any.
It's not that technical of a job, but I know it'll make good resume filler for when I branch out to something more high-tech.

Also, they give a dollar raise each for A+, Security+, Server+, and Network+, and will reimburse you for the cost of the test voucher. No retakes or course material though, but that's still a damn good deal.

>>106449836
this, av2 will likely fix all the issues with av1, but as others have said, hw support for encoding is limited. doing sw encode for av1 is extremely long, i got 0.2fps encoding on a 16-core@3.5GHz. If you have 1TB of ~5Mb/s h264 (or around 4000 hrs of videos) if would take 5 times as long to encode it all, which would probably require in the ~200kW/h range (given a 100W TDP), that said it's probably cheaper to buy a new hard drive/ssd than do sw encoding

this is vim. she a cute
she has tabs, lsp's, can compile and debug from inside, and is fully customizable.

Most editors have Vim keybinds and you can run Neovim in server mode with a GUI frontend you know.
Otherwise Zed might be what you want (I haven't used it).
>>
>>106450290
>Most editors have Vim keybinds
Yea I use them everywhere now. It's crazy how fast I got addicted to vim keybinds, I mainly needed an editor to edit files on a server over SSH and now I use it everywhere.
>Neovim in server mode with a GUI frontend
I have heard of GUI frontends, not about server mode. The only GUI I know is VimR for macOS and it doesn't work for me unfortunately.
>Zed
It's one of the editors I tried before coming back to Neovim. It's decent and has the best Vim emulation out of every other editor. The AI integration is fun too if I'm bored and have some time to waste. But I can't find any way to replicate Telescope functionality from Neovim, which really is the killer feature why I can't use any other editor. I have the Telescope file find mapped to space in normal mode, so now I just have a muscle memory of hitting space, typing file name, hitting enter and expecting to be there. I was able to recreate it in Emacs, but it's always at the bottom of the screen and the UI is unintuitive. I think there's a way to change it but I haven't been able to find it yet.

how does this work as a business model? does this mean in the next couple of years you can expect to buy compute clusters for absurdly low prices? also how feasible is it to try and use one in a home lab?

based, fagman will negotiate on a county basis against corrupt politicians so they can send the utility cost down to the citizens living there. that's also why you see a lot of hpc built in the fucking desert. 1GW of electricity consumed, requires 1GW of cooling, the most effective method being literally evaporating precious water. the fact that they're allowed to build those data centers in the desert is plain wrong.

even most power plants have to be built alongside a water stream, like a river so they don't steal people's drinking water

We already have quantum computing and it just has specific use cases. Using quantum computing to do regular calculations is not only a waste, it's actively not good at that kind of use case.

so if depreciation isn't really a factor if they won't sell, what's the best value setup for a homelab HPC then? i currently only have the E810 nic, S5212F switch, and some surplus SAS drives on my list of stuff to get for dirt cheap while saving a lot of cash, but everything else, be it the board, rackunit, and compute modules are all up in the air atm. or should i just build a minipc cluster?

i wanna set something up as a renderfarm for cgi stuff, mainly vfx in houdini, so anything that'll boost that will be ideal.

I think the only other open sourced zero point energy is the bendini wheel which supposedly works by capturing the radiant energy of an EMF fields collapse, dunno if it works because solar is cheap enough with one paycheck for $3000 you can build a 8KW system if you live in a sunny area with little clouds like utah or arizona.

I've used it for work 8 hours daily since early 2024. After GPT-5, it's just unusable. I find myself pleading to it constantly and all it does it validate me. It never improves me.

After pleading with GPT-4o, which has turned to shit because of cross-contamination with GPT-5 training, I fed the same prompt to DeepSeek and immediately got an improvement.

Why am I paying $199 a month when I can pay nothing and get better results?

What is the META right now guys? I'm getting real tired of Sam Altman Fried's bullshit

this, claude made a paper on 'reasoning' and it showed that even when the model made correct reasoning steps, it was unable to use those to derive a proper answer. this is shocking when you ask it to compute an integral for a function that can take 5-10 steps. each step can be correct but it's unable to use the intermediate results to provide a comprehensive answer. chatgpt has a special math agent that tries to detect whether your question needs to be fed to it, but it uses a fucking cas software to answer it, not actual llm reasoning.
