is this the thread?
previous: >>107833909#define __NR_mmap 9this is probably my favorite syscall of all time. we could spend weeks discussing this alone. it is extremely powerful, versatile, and widely used. not to mention, it's one of the (somewhat) rare six argument syscalls. some potential points of discussion:> the addr argument, and its use without flags, with MAP_FIXED, and with MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE> file-backed vs anonymous mappings> the concept of pages, page sizing, and alignment > guard pages and PROT_NONE> the actual meaning of SIGSEGV, and how there's more to segfaults than simply process crashes> core dumps and stack traces> other related signals, such as SIGBUS> MAP_GROWSDOWN and the stack> the use of mmap (as opposed to brk) for allocation via the *alloc family> manual memory management vs an allocation schemeComment too long.

#define __NR_mmap 9
>>107842984i remember there was one mmap schizo around here sometimes, he might show up later if he's not on vacation
>>107843002these days, probably pretty rare. it's uncommon for developers to have to use mmap manually in production software, so in most cases they never even have the opportunity to fuck it up. for those who do decide to use it, they ideally know what they're doing and so are a bit more careful about ita lot of JIT compilers face these and similar issues, though, if that's something that interests you>>107843030that would be... interesting. i hesitate to say nice, since you describe him as a schizo.....

how true is this
You know, if the endgame of this was actually money I would understand. Instead, they just want to wipe out most people because?Enjoy what you can, the human race will be dead by 2050.
>>107841850>because?It'll pump their bags
>>107828527why?
>>107824901OpenAI said themselves that they were just buying raw wafer stock. They're not planning to produce anything with that in the next couple of years.
>>107824879It's 100%. But literally the whole economy is like this. Never heard of futures, or quantitative easing ?It's all fake nigger. Open your eyes.

>>107840221I'd never buy a keyboard without numpad. It makes typing numbers a lot easier and faster
A few days ago, something really interesting happened: For the first time, an AI generated a mathematical proof that was not yet known: https://www.erdosproblems.com/728In most cases where this has happened, it was later discovered that a solution already existed in the literature, but this problem had been formulated incorrectly and was only corrected a few months ago, which means there was no prior literature on it.Sometimes of you say that AI will be limited by "not being able to create new things," but I think this case shows that it's not quite like that at all, and that most people are still underestimating AIs.
>>107834611Thanks, I had been suspected him of being a grifter for a bit but this explains everything.

>>107832560Another fabricated "proof" from "scientist" totally not hired by Altman or other faggot to hype up their slop-producing machine.Nothing new and nothing actually usefull will come out of it. Two more weeks and five gorillions of dollars more and we gonna have AGI, am I right?
>>107843264There's no need for AGI. If we can replace you and the 13804783410 Indians out there that already will be enough.

>>107841427>To link a meta account, you still need a facebook account>if you wish>therefore, it's a lie!!!nta, but why are you being this disingenuous? you still haven't elaborated the fact that you can use a quest VR headset without a Zucc account.
>>107843284How am I being disingenuous? The person I responded to made the claims:>You need a Facebook account to use a QuestFalse. You need a Meta account. >Meta accounts and Facebook accounts are the exact same thingFalse. They are not. They are completely separate accounts that have nothing to do with each other. You CAN link it to your Facebook account if you want. How am I being disingenuous in any of my responses calling out blatant lies? Who do you work for?
>>107840920LMAOAre you sure? Meta doesn’t require Facebook as far as I know these days. You should’ve bought a PSVR2…

What is your favorite calculator?
>>107842421Here in France if you want to use a calculator for some exams you need to turn on exam mode so you can't cheat, as people would write down their lesson in itIt's basically a mode where the ram is set back to default and you can't modify anything
>>107842672You can't, to exit it you have to plug it in a pc then launch their program to return to normal, or plug it to another calculatorThere's a red light blinking when you're in exam mode so you can tell when it's on or not
>>107842872Well it's a way to prevent cheating, since people would just write down everything in their calculator I'd rather have this than no calculator at all like we had for our accounting exams
>>10784209530xs is more modern. Keys feel pretty nice, and the extra screen real estate makes it easier to read.
>>107830193The Ti-30xProIt's the sweetspot of having a lot of functionality without just being a graphing calculator, and is basically allowed for anything while still offering a lot of functionality. I think it got some more revisions, but been rocking one for over a decade and it's served any general purpose, if I really needed something more advanced I had better tools for that than a pocket calculator.

/g/, where did (You) learn Assembly?
>>107818149I didn't, I just got a list of instructions and started writing. Assembly is so simple if you know how to program.
>>107832250The .o file has already been through the assembler, it's an ELF object file that's passed to the linker.
>>107840707>I'm asking about InP microprocessors.Sorry, didn't realise that.>Doesn't seem like they exist at all.At least not available for civilian money. This is one of the few cases where I can buy the hypothesis that DOD and code breakers have undisclosed hardware. The prospect of cracking keys at 4 THz or real time full bandwidth ESM and ECM analysis is sure of getting attention.
>>107840707>Doesn't seem like they exist at all.they probably exist, just not for us.
>>107818149Does anyone remember softice? I learnt just enough assembly to "crack" easy mode software shit. Just NOP'ing out checks or JNZ'ing stuff. Was super fun and satisfying when you figured out how to disable a popup or get the software to accept a serial. Was never smart enough to make a serial number generator. Still ain't.

>>107839547Easiest way to tell the 14.1" and 15" apart from pictures is the width of the keyboard bezels.You can swap the 14.1" and 15" motherboards between shells if you need to - the boards themselves are identical, there's a little extension daughterboard that lets the ports reach in the 15".The real prizes are the IPS/AFFS panels in the 15" models. They look gorgeous.
