it doesn't matter if the model is good or not, if an event is being written about the model will assume it's important, writing a totally one-sided fight against a peasant isn't part of 80% of it's training set so it's statistically unlikely, therefore it will assume the village girl is actually important and an 8000 year old witch and secretly the big bad

In paleo-conservative countries the rule is any sexual activity outside of life long marriage is evil and immoral. They hold zero tolerance for sex outside of wedlock. Though the AoC for them historically is 2 to 4 years lower. In feminist countries today (such as the US) any sexual activity a day below 18 is evil and immoral and enforced by laws of government.

Both paleo conservatives and feminist claim certain sexual behavior is evil gross and immoral and they respond with strong emotional engagement when their values are violated. But they differ on what triggers it. I believe these morals go deeper then cultural norms. They reflect evolved instincts to ensure early human tribes had social cohesion. For cavemen 19,000 years ago having a tribe not fighting over mates and knowing who's kid belongs to who is far more likely to survive then tribes that didn't know whos parents the kids belonged to and bashed each other with clubs over who gets to mate with the women of the tribe.

All those morals people have. Rather it be life long monogamy, opposition to gay marriage, and 18 or wood chipper are just the result of prehistoric pressures put on ancestral humans. The strongest moral values some people hold (even if logical) came from evolutionary pressures .

https://web.archive.org/web/20170713124108/https://bytepointer.com/resources/pietrek_in_depth_look_into_pe_format_pt1.htm

im reading the above which is a good read but things like " From an API standpoint, the primary mechanism provided by Microsoft for reading and modifying PE files is IMAGEHLP.DLL." i dont understand what API means
>>
>>107745134
>can someone explain to me what an API actually is?
An API is a bunch of functions exported by a library, plus the type definitions and constants associated with them. Maybe also some variable exports, though that's usually a Bad Idea. Usually accompanied by documentation except when the library's author is an autistic faggot. Depending on language, you might think about an API type-first or function-first; there's no universal rule.
By knowing the API of a library, you know how to use the library. Well, in theory. Sometimes you need to also know some higher-level patterns too to know how to do everything right. Ideally, those patterns are also documented, but quite often that's honoured more in the breach than anything else. Alas. Good docs often aren't easy to write.
>>
>>107745134
API(Application Program Interface)
People use that to mean different things in different contextes.
It can mean library (in some language)
It can mean http endpoint (for web fags)
It can mean RPC

If you go to deeper into details they will tell you about calling conventions. Depends what you are doing.
>>
>>107745134
>>107745134
The best way to mentally visualize and understand APIs in the realm of software and programming, is to just think of them as different types of cable plugs.

Different cables have different plug standards, right? Like inside your computer, there's a whole standardization behind the cable plugs wiring your fans, GPU, and all the crap plugging into your PSU before it meets a higher level standardization ie the AC wall outlet.

All that IMAGEHLP.DLL does is sort of house a function (it probably has a lot of functions in it actually), which your own program can use (this is typically done by telling your code to go for that exact .DLL file, and calling the exact function name you need). That function knows how to more directly interact with the operating system at a lower level and the operating system gives that specific .DLL permission to do so (where as a lot of cases the applications typically would be restricted from getting that far under the hood).

tl;dr
API is just anything that allows one software system or application to "plug into" another to exchange data in a common or standardized format. The distance or complexity does not define an API (ie internet APIs like REST/gRCP are more complex than operating system APIs which are just .dll libraries with functions, but ultimately they're all just plugs that have an expectation and standardization to pass data)

focus stealing prevention doesnt seem to fix that, sadly

I just bought a 32Gib 512nvme i7-9850H quadro t1000 with a 4k panel for $400 on eBay (and uncle sam fucked me for 40 in taxes and 20 in shipping)--and I am regretting it and wish I bought the cheaper $330 1080p 48gib option but bought this one because I thought that the 4k panel might be good since 1080p is a bit bad for split screen latex but am now regretting it since it will
- Drain battery faster (might take up 20% extra)
- Be a pain to use because I will be forced to set it to 200% scaling for a good experience with my external 1080p monitors (probably, I have never used 4k but xorg will likely strangle me too)
- Cost more
- Doesn't have as much ram
- At 15.6" and normal sitting, I probably won't ever notice

I don't think it has been shipped yet but also don't want to try to return it since that might make me an asshole...I will have to go check if the seller even accepts returns...

I am really crying over this...why is life so hard?

How is RedoxOS coming along? It'd be nice to have a usable microkernel operating system.
4 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>107741499
That's because monolithic kernels have never been tried. No, not even Linux. It's a hybrid LARPing as a monokernel, but it's not. The Finnish retard copied the API from a self-admitted microkernel (Minix), whose explicit purpose was to keep complicated shit out of kernelspace.

A true monokernel wouldn't block on open and reads. A true monokernel would allow you to create sockets and FDs in batches. A true monokernel would have compound functions (open + mmap + close) for the most common patterns.
>>
>>107742231
Also, a true monokernel would've probably used something like shared mappings between user and kernel to properly utilize memory layout and out-of-order execution, and write-lock the plot upon submission to make sure that the thread cannot modify the data in mid-flight. *And our current hardware doesn't support that very well* because the page table is a process-wide resource, not a thread-local one - meaning that, if you write-lock pages, you end up with per-core TLB shootdowns that can easily take much longer to complete than just copying all parameters from userspace to kernelspace, even if it's an in-order copy.

Oh, and speaking of TLB shootdowns:

>>107740569
>How is RedoxOS coming along?
Well, is it at all? They had an interesting idea about "everything is a URL" but them went back on that fo rmore UNiX like philosophy. And that was after all the drama and purges. So after 10 years it is still not as advanced or usable as Linux was after 4 years.
>>
>>107742231
>That's because monolithic kernels have never been tried. No, not even Linux. It's a hybrid LARPing as a monokernel, but it's not.
Monolithic kernels are brain damage because it means they have no loadable drivers or modules. Everything has to be compiled into one binary blob, so all your GPU drivers, USB drivers, file systems, all hardware you will ever support, is compiled into one blob.

>The Finnish retard copied the API from
He copied it from Unix.

>A true monokernel wouldn't block on open and reads. A true monokernel would allow you to create sockets and FDs in batches. A true monokernel would have compound functions (open + mmap + close) for the most common patterns.
That's just a non-Unix-like design and has nothing to do with monolithic or microkernels. Windows NT, VMS, and IBM mainframe OSes have a non-blocking asynchronous design. Microkernels are also inherently non-Unix-like, because anything similar to Unix is provided as user mode processes. They don't even have the concept of a file system or opening or reading files because that's handled by programs outside the kernel.

>>107742281
>Also, a true monokernel would've probably used something like shared mappings between user and kernel to properly utilize memory layout and out-of-order execution
That has nothing to do with monolithic or microkernels either.
>>
>>107743317
>They had an interesting idea about "everything is a URL"
It followed pretty naturally from the network transparency features of most microkernels before it. Have they really abandoned the idea?
>So after 10 years it is still not as advanced or usable as Linux was after 4 years.
Not the same thing, Linux was slotted into the existing GNU ecosystem that had been worked on for a decade already, whereas Redox is effectively starting from scratch (bar rustc) and has much more complicated modern hardware to deal with.

The shine of ai is wearing off int he corporate setting as well. I work in a large corporation somewhat near the middle and managers are furious with ai generated content. It's always bad, any summaries made, any documents written just contain errors and stacks of errors, falsehoods, sometimes such that could get the company in legal trouble. There was one girl who ai generated a contract with a subcontractor and my god the shit in there would have bankrupted us.

There will be a serious tightening of ai usage in most corporations, ai is not ony useless it is actively harmful. I'm talking about LLMs here mostly. The engineers are using their own machine algos or open source stuff for simulation aid where ai is indeed useful, but openais chatbot can fuck right off.

Anybody here try/use Bedrock linux?
I've been on Manjaro for a while, but I'm getting the itch to switch distros.
Debian's not at the top of my list, but I'd consider it.
I refuse to ever use Ubuntu again. (There was some unpleasantness back around '08 and I refuse to ever give them another second of my time.) Nothing really against Mint. I've used it before, though, and it keeps me in the Debian branch, which I'm not very used to.
CachyOS is, I guess, catching on for some reason. It's another Arch derivative. Can't be worse than Manjaro. And I'm somewhat used to the Arch ecosystem.
But this Bedrock thing seems like a bit of a winner. Doesn't pin you down into any one branch. Plus, as I understand it, I can just install it over top of my existing install, instead of starting over from square one.
Anyhoo, just wanted to know if anyone here has experience with it and would/wouldn't recommend giving it a try.
