This is what the pro-AI Indian pretending to be a white American actually thinks of technology, it's all a white invention made to keep him down. We should kill all AI users immediately.
Yeah that settles it. AI needs to be banned.

>>107561464That's what happens, they're only focused on benchmark results not real-world use. Just the numbers CEOs and investors care about.
>>107561464I don't know if it's retarded, but it's annoying as fuck. It's more safetycucked than any other model and in a very particular way. It wont refuse. OpenAI seems to have chosen it to ALWAYS try to redirect. It will give you a "safe" response that tries to gaslight you into whatever is the most pro-institutional idea it can find.

>>107559172>>107560603by the way, here are the two chip models i was thinking about: mxl86280 and rtl8372. its probably one of the two>>107560954oh damn, right as i was writing this reply, thanks for the pic.i see a ram chip right next to the larger heatsink, looks like this is a completly different design, probably a main controller running some sort os and handling all the 10gb ports(4 exposed to the outside as sfp and 2 more internal, one for each "slave" chip). main controller is probably a qualcomm chip. the smaller ones might still be the realtek chips, but there is still one 10g connection missing on each so idk.nice that it has the built in psu. most of these cheap switches have an external 12v power brick.there is also a bunch of unpopulated headers near the 8p8c connetion block, those might be for poe variant. searching for that model number of the pcb online only leads me tohttps://www.xilinet.com/2025/05/13/advancements-in-medical-devices-enhancing-healthcare-around-the-globe-4/with claims of a 250w poe version (jesus chang christ, that would be 30w on each port!)i really like how most of the pcb is nicelly labeled, the voltage rails and even the uart chip is indicated.how is the managment software like? some stuff on the website above claims to be gpl compliant, so is it some openwrt variant/fork?

>>107558400Can't compare because I started with Vulkan 2 months ago without any prior experience in any graphics API.What I can say is that with newer versions it's a lot easier to make it sane programming instead of whatever archaic mess it used to be before. E.g. VkDeviceAddress.
>>107558400>>107558515Africa does not allow Vulkan because it requires new, expensive GPUs.Also Vulkan requires 5000 lines of boilerplate code just to draw a single triangle.
>>107558515Wtf when did they release Vulkan 2?
>>107558172>Chud, what is the use of making a video game if you don't know the tech behind it? I mean what made games awesome? We already had movies for example. The games were, and still are, black magic of computer graphics and computer tech in general. The real value of a game is always based on the value of video game technology.I do know the tech behind it though, I actually know how to thoroughly use the engine (actually 2 engines at this point) and have no issues doing most of the work. It's the real technical code that requires actual talent and long term skill that I struggle at. Nothing is black magic, I just have trouble getting myself to learn to that skill level.

/p/haggot here. Is the overpriced memory here to stay? My laptop is due for an upgrade should I do it now or wait till the prices go down?
>>107560749its here to stay, RAMlets will bite the bullet until at least, the next decade.
>>1075609418GB hasn't been above ramlet status for at least a decade. 16GB is a comfortable minimum, and 32GB is for when you want a little extra. 64GB is tryhard, but not to the point of excess. 128GB is for if you run a server or do gens or whatnot.

>>107560492I'm sure if Nicolas was more outspoken and had contrarian opinions that he stated in a loud and proud manner he would also get posted here a lot. Both of them are remarkable people.
>>107560492jo blo promotes himself, just probably not here. since /g/ is for reposting twitter/yt bait, anons repost him/his stuff here.
>>107560492blow is a less schizophrenic terry

>>107560492JBlow has delusions of grandeur and most likely posts about himself here. I don't ger his angle, really. He regurgitates obvious shit, passes it off as original ideas, circlejerks with retarded cult followers.
As a programmer, how do you avoid falling into the trap of doing everything yourself?
I hope he donates his body to science. His brain should be dissected to see what causes these utter narcissistic delusions of grandeur. Maybe they'll learn something from it.
I take great solace in the fact he's permanently miserable
>>107560419>Delusions? No.>I created my own language. I wrote an entire game with it from top to bottom. If that isn't grandeur, I don't know what is.
>>107557795I don't. I do everything myself.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, how could this happen to one of the best browsers out there?

>>107553280ask Grok
>>107556879Yeah that's a fair point, I don't remember the justification given for the entire process in the beginning. I do remember discussion around it however where the dev did explicitly state that his intention is not to make the most privacy-focused browser and if that is what you are looking for to use a different Firefox fork.
