Ever wonder how the hell Valve simply allows people to access Steam's various APIs to access any user's historical data? Like, think of SteamREP for example and how shit that was while it was still around. People still leave +reps on profiles thinking it does shit. There's still a couple websites that profile Steam users and ignore privacy whilst also pay-walling features like viewing deleted comments. Kinda fucked up if you ask me, anons

will gaussian splats replace VR180 video as the gold standard of porn?
>>107692987Gaussian splats always look blurry to me. Which is weird I know, but I think the splats just suck at representing texture.
>>107692987lol into the wall you go niggers
>>107692987I always thought Gaussian didn't have much real world application but this seems so obvious in retrospect. You can imagine generating them on the fly and making things interactive in the future
>>107699482dynamic character animations are impossible because the lighting info is stored into the model.if you were talking about talking to IRL people, in that case the cost of turning the camera info into a streaming point cloud / splat format would be either too slow, or very low in quality.I've seen it done in minecraft, that might be the future of VR chatrooms if we could download 1tb in an minute casually.

I am regularly amazed that we pretend folders are the right way to organise files. They’re entirely arbitrary. Every competent file system ignores them to its best ability. Why can’t I have a file in two folders? Why does one have to be a “reference”? Why can’t I filter for files that exist in 3 folders with X extension?We’ve been played for absolute fools.
>>107700731>lol just use that tool that uses more power than a nuclear reactor>it's way easier than just keeping a bit of a journal and organised folder structures
>>107683164You guys make fun of people not knowing how to use a tech they dont need. I also dont know how to use a dial phone. I didnt know how to use command lines before I got into dev as hobby.I still have no idea how to go to space
>>107681857>Why can’t I have a file in two foldershard links existed before soft links
>>107681857can you name a better alternative? hint: it's not tags (which are useful for some purposes but cannot maintain a system structure).tl;dr:we build our technology as an extension of ourselves and our way of life. folder hierarchy vs tags is technologically analogous to male-derived hierarchy vs female-derived communism, and in the real world we know which one works and which one has never built a successful or stable civilization. sure, maybe just using tags would work for one small tribe (folder), but the more people you get and the more tags you share between them, the more inefficient and unwieldy the system becomes. files are not the same, and you can't just throw them all in the same bucket with some tags and expect everything to work smoothly when you start gathering tens of thousands of moving parts. the more complex things become, the more organization and hierarchy you require to further build and maintain them, and a folder filing system is basically the only way to do this; it's the same system we still use with physical documents in real life because there isn't anything better.
>>107697189Well I use zotero for that I don't understand why any of this needs to be organised at an OS level when we have dedicated programs to sort things.OSes aren't good for any kind of organisation beyond the OS itself

The old fan is making a slight rattling noise on startup but it goes away after 5 min. It's spinning at 3000rpm to cool down Athlon x250 which gets hot very quickly during cpu spikes (it shuts itself down at 70C). I'd like to replace it but I can't find any 70mm fans. Is there any CPU fan model (with a heatsink or not) that would fit this old motherboard (released in 2009), if yes then which size should I choose?
>>107696387There are still a whole bunch of AM2+ compatible CPU coolers out there.> https://pcpartpicker.com/products/cpu-cooler/#c=270mm fans are rare, but a search machine can probs find some options.
>>107696387Lots of 70mm fans on Aliexpress
>>107696387switch to a water cooler

Finished a little game using a custom engine and tools. Kind of me just fiddling around with Dear ImGui and C++. Uses an animation format borrowed from another game, and I made a totally new version of the animation editor that game had. This is just sort of a test project to help me get my feet wet and try the editor out.https://shweetmagnet.itch.io/feed-snivyhttps://git.shweetz.net/shweet/snivyThe editor, if you're curious: https://github.com/ShweetsStuff/anm2ed

Are there any good alternatives to DuckDuckGo that don't suck ass?
When you're searching for something that has nothing to do with Russia. Yandex is actually okay. I'd you're searching for something technical and not controversial google is pretty good
DDG kinda sucks but if you can overlook the outages and the fact it's a bing rewrap, the actual search results are acceptable, don't censor porn and actually try not to track the shit out of you.Add to the mix an AI for searches (not perplexity since I think they jew your data) and it should be fine
To be brutally honest, all search engines are pretty bad in the big 2025. Here’s my rotation…>DuckDuckGoBrowser default. Used for simple day to day browsing, mostly because of !bangs to quickly redirect a search to a specific website like youtube, amazon, wikipedia or google maps>chatGPT/ClaudeAnything in depth & technical.>>“Hey, I have a 2013 MacBook Air with intel QuickSync GPU accelerated video encoding. I want to use the feature, but don’t want to pay for a proprietary program. Please generate a bash script that utilizes FFMPEG to encode videos with this feature.”>YandexGood for finding stuff that’s normally behind paywalls like OF, Patreon or SubscribeStar. I’ve noticed it doesn’t really suppress conspiracy theory sites either(as long as they’re not about Russia). So I guess that’s a plus if you’re a /pol/tard

>>107695423>I looked for japanese products. Unfortunately, they don't produce anything anymore.They do produce many things but not so much consumer goods anymore. >>107696738Back in the day, Japanese companies made junk and reputation was so bad that companies set up "headquarters" in the Japanese city Usa just so that they could claim it was "Made in Usa" which takes desperation to a new level.They realised that this had no future and invited quality assurance experts such as Deming and Juran to teach them how things should be done. These experts had limited success in the West but Japan was always immune to culture shock and accepted the new wisdom. That is when quality climed out of the garbge tip. Next they built on this and created Tanguchi Method, Kaizen, TPM and more, and Japan started looking like an unstoppable juggernaut. Then they added design for production, design for maintenance, design for recycling and more, which are the reasons why Japanese products could be maintained well. Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever and in the 90s the bubble burst and also quality took a hit.t.former quality auditor
>>107700206Didn't you have to commit sudoku if the Nintendo you manufactured red ringed?
>>107700310No. I did quality auditing in a NATO defence company. It was a great way to become unpopular, bearer of bad news and all that. We had to learn about the field before we could start auditing, and Japan was still a source of knowledge. The US was less interested in quality and I was not surprised to learn from GAO that F-35 had suffered a regression in the radar software suite. And that is far closer to capital offence than a red ring. GAO has also published MTBF info that is rather disturbing. F-35 is a hangar queen that one week into WWIII would all be grounded waiting for spare parts that are no longer on the shelves.

>>107700291both would be cool so that i can use my existing setup, with a node with dropdowns for each of the layers, it can auto-load the correct loras etc, and just be part of the normal workflow replacing the prompt nodesthen once a workflow is "set up" being able to just call it via the comfy api via some other simple ui would be nicer but totally not required (and the linear mode in comfy might work for it once that is less buggy)

I don't code, I just ranked every lang that I "know" from what I heard and saw. + aura and looks. Sorry if your fav lang isn't on the list. I just use Linux and I unintentionally use bash and sometimes. I use python and pip to download shit and scripts, but I never wrote a single line of it.

Overall a decent middle ground between low level control and high level abstraction. I'd use this for business critical systems that need to be rock solid.>C++Great low level control, massive performance if you know how to optimize well. Can be extremely verbose and borderline arcane. Fucking hate writing all the shitloads of boilerplate code all the time but I still love it for high performance software such as games or graphics intensive stuff.>CNice and simple, good language to start learning programming but after that phase I never used it again.>PythonDecent for one-off projects such as quick scripts or proof of concepts. Amazing high level abstraction but absolute shit low level control so not suitable for high performance stuff. Actually it's way too abstracted for me and too easy to write shitty inefficient systems since you have no clue what's really going on. Very easy to hash out some quick functionality by glueing some libs togethet. That's mostly what I see it as: a glue language. Lacks a proper type system. Duck typing is fucking retarded and is my main reason to hate Python. Unfortunately I can't escape it in the data science world.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

It's a good idea to use a VPN. OVH has unlimited bandwidth VPS, you can set it up with wireguard on it. That will allow for port forwarding.At the very least you should require encryption in the qbit client. But if you communicate with UDP trackers, that's unencrypted as far as I know.

Half-venting, half-serious inquiry: why the fuck is Google shadowbanning (shown to only me while logged in, not shown to anyone else or to me while logged out) the following comments. Separate comments on separate lines, all shadowbanned:>About hardware: even back in 2016 I needed 128Gb of RAM to provide a service for my clients on a level that they expected, in 2025 that's a Threadripper with 8x32 and 24Gb of VRAM at minimum.>My company will outperform anyone who has inferior software, hardware, and less efficient pipelines. Outperform on money and on time. Clients expect top end results with a quick turnaround.>Another example, I have 3 large screens because over a year, it's far cheaper for me to buy 2 extra monitors, than to constantly waste time alt+tabbing to view references or communicate, etc.>But nobody would ever need 3 screens because you can do everything with 1 screen also, right? That's the difference between tinkerers and professionals: time = money.(arguing with a faggot saying my shitty thinkpad and opensource toys can do *everything*)Is Google fucking retarded? I haven't been able to converse with anyone for the better part of the last 5 years. The same bullshit, have a casual conversation going (or try to have), then check it while logged out and see that 70% of what I've posted has never appeared publicly. Sometimes the most mundane shit gets autodeleted like: "I wish you happy holidays, mate". At one point I tried to help some guy out by typing only "You can find it by googling *some mundane shit about computing*" aaaand shadowbanned. I may use my phone and an alt account, still the same shit. What in the ungodly fuck is going on? Not a single swearword. Not a single no-no topic. And then there's endless fucking botposts with the same exact spamcontent on every fucking major fagtuber 15 seconds after publishing a video. Oh then they are powerless, nothing they can do. Fuck them with a rusty iron spike. What the fuck is their problem?
>>107695422>must of thoughtI can't believe someone dignified a comment as retarded as that one with a reply.
They're using a global AI filter to remove/approve certain comments or put them under "new" instead of "top" which practically hides them for most users. Youtube channels can also put moderation on their comments which can be strict or more lenient. This has been going on for years. Just don't waste too much time shitposting on there. I post for fun every now and then and hope it goes through. Use common sense and avoid slurs or the obvious trigger words.
>>107695270There was never any serious conversation on YouTube. It has always been a cesspit.
