that's when magic happens

I genuinely do not know what to think about AI. There are so many things about it that are cool. There are so many things about it that are shit. It clogs up my grandma’s feed with fake shit, it’s making the cost of electronics go up, it’s consuming resources at an unsustainable rate and so on. It’s given me some useful tools when it comes to writing, and gives me quick answers to questions among other things, but to me, all the negatives outweigh the positives. I’m not sure if it will even be able to advance much further beyond this point given the extreme consumption of resources it demands.
What are some reasons why you support AI development? Give me some insight on why AI is a positive thing and why development should continue

>Is used by third world jeets and SEAmonkeys to spamfuck the internet with AI generated garbage that rots children’s minds
>Is also used by SEAmonkeys and jeets to create content that has the intent of being perceived as real, like videos of nature and social interactions, meaning you don’t know what is real
>Oh yeah, it’s also being used to generate fake content for political agendas. Fake videos of online confrontations and crimes meant to sway minds and can and WILL be used en masse to manipulate countries into voting for whoever they want
>Will eventually put us in a digital age where no one will be able to tell what is true and what isn’t. You won’t know if that voice message sent to you was really the voice of your relative being held hostage or if it’s just AI. That video of warcrimes being committed will be so realistic that it will influence and used to justify military action. That genuine leaked video of a billionaire fucking a 5 year old will be deemed AI, but that AI generated video of a major dissenter of the state fucking a 5 year old will be seen and treated as if it’s real.

AI had potential back in 2021 and 2022, then investors forced companies to stack layers and bloat the shit out of it, now it's far too big, unoptimized and slow.
The real genie that's out of the bottle is that they can't optimize it anymore. If they do, the data center side of the scam is hurt, and they know the chinese will swoop in and clone their shit for even cheaper.

Funny you mention that, I switched from a calculator like that to the Ti, and preferred the new one.
Both are solid non graphing options, but I remember this one being even more limited. It put a smaller limit on amount of things one could input in long integrals, and while I can't vouch for this since it was many years ago but I remember it having less features than the 30xPro.
Plus, this is subjective, But I dislike the flat pancake designs of these cassio's, they feel flimsy. And for them to be thin the buttons are thinner as well. The latter's pill shaped and bigger indents felt more comfortable and secure to me.
But, this was like early high school, I then later used the 30xPro for all of that and then college, there is a bias.

The Sovereign Tech Agency (Germany) funded $562,800 (half a million) worth of development on ALPM (Arch Linux Package Management) work. That work was focused, almost entirely, on creating “Rust libraries and tools” for Arch package management which “aims to maintain compatibility with pacman”. As of this moment, the Rust ALPM has not replaced Pacman entirely. But common sense would indicate that replacement is a goal (otherwise the heavily funded development would be nonsensical).

By the way, existing Arch package management tools (such as Pacman) are licensed under the GPL. The new, Rust-based libraries and replacements are licensed under the MIT license.

#define __NR_mmap                9


this 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 scheme

>running one thread per connection
Please don't do this.
Have a thread pool (potentially 1 thread per physical core or hyperthread), and assign work to those threads.
>you don't want to commit the pages instantly because the overwhelming majority of requests will require less
I see what you're getting at, but the problem is still those extra syscalls. You could probably have a balanced GC approach where you only send the madvise syscall after every 100 or 1000 requests or so. That will reduce your overhead to very little, if you're that concerned about how much physical ram you're using.
My point about the ring buffer still stands, because it's an excellent way to manage that block of virtual memory and hand out allocations without constantly running syscalls. Somehow, you'll need to tell each request which blocks of virtual memory are assigned to it, without using syscalls. Otherwise, you might as well use malloc/free.
Ring buffers can be used in a multithreaded scenario, but they do get more complex.

>>107845764
>>107845876
One more point I forgot to add, those page faults can be expensive. If you're not re-using physical pages, then you'll have to pay that page fault price for every request.
>>
>>107845876
>io_uring is designed for specifically this
I don't think you can read a file with io_uring that avoids copying, unfortunately. Something like an IORING_OP_PREFAULT, that acts on an already mapped region, would be ideal. You can already use IORING_OP_MADVISE with MADV_WILLNEED, but it won't actually wait until the data is in memory.
>>
>>107846009
I was referring to the non-blocking aspect of it.
In order to perform any operation on the data, it has to be in RAM somehow.
What "zero copy" refers to is that the kernel doesn't need to make its own copy of the data.
The data will instead get written directly to a memory address you specify.
>>
>>107846088
>The data will instead get written directly to a memory address you specify
It won't, though. Not with read(), not with io_uring. The data will get written to the kernel's page cache (that way, if another process tries reading the file, it will already be in memory). With read() and io_uring, (part of) the data in the page cache will get copied to the buffer you specify, whereas with mmap(), you get a view of the page cache itself, with no need to copy anything.
