Funny times. I unironically use catalina as we speak. Which versions of the popular operating systems are considered best by /g/? For me Catalina is last non bullshit mac os, an upgrade from mojave, stable, with good drivers, not too heavy, support many of the modern software. Everything I need.

When people use programming terms, I don't understand shit.Method this, spermasoid algorithm that.How the hell do you even manage to learn all that? You have to be autistic right' Like INTP levels of autism. Jesus, it is so over.
i know absolutely nothing about programming but I know you're a bitch
>>107800659Each programming subgroup has their own unique lingo and can use the same words to mean different things, e.g. polymorphism can refer to either generics or subtyping, you just have to hang around and read stuff to pick up on it
>>107800659i did not understand it either when i started because it sounds like alien bullshit. just learn how functions work and you'll start to get it. to start, figure out what a variable is and work your way forward.
Yeah, you kinda do need to have some level of autism. I heard some researchers once came up with a test that was incredibly predictive of whether a student would flunk out of comp sci 101, the test was targeting the capability to pick up on and follow arbitrary rules. It is fairly autistic to be able to do that.

>>107801328Why GLM 4.6 and not 4.7?
>>107801418Because NovelAI didn't update to GLM 4.7.
I love the novelai shill that keeps bring up his irrelevant service whenever 4.6 is mentioned in an attempt to piggyback off that model. I wonder how much he gets paid.

>>107801160no idea bro my experience was pretty similar to this guyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tctRCfP0SCMand i had a hd7950
>>107800336And by 2014 on sale you could get the FX-6300 for just $90 and the FX-8320 for $120. And AMD motherboards were cheaper as well compared to Intel. If you built a $500 or cheaper system in those days there was zero reason to go for Intel in those days.
>>107801230The times where the 6300 was $89.99 was fucking crazy, 16GB of RAM for like $90 as well, just absolutely insane the decent rigs you could build because it was before all the mining and AI nonsense.I wanna go back, yeah my current i7 is faster than n FX-8350 and uses 65w, but I have never had as much fun with a computer as I did when that 125w motherfucker, first overclock, my first full graphics core being the 7970, so much fun.
