>algo feed keeps pushing me "WINDOWS IS DOOMED: WHY EVERYONE IS SWITCHING TO LINUX" grift bait videos>look inside>always full of grossly exaggerated lies, retarded double standards and shit no one cares aboutyou can turn off all the shit you dont like but linux sisters will keep claiming switching over to a new os and re learning everything is easier than running a basic bitch debloater and looking into the settings
I agree, the Linux shilling is just adding to the hype, not real change.On the flip side, users use Windows because they're trapped. Not because it's great, not because it's not bloated spyware shit.If you're shilling for Linux you're mildly annoying.If you're shilling for Windows you don't deserve air to breathe.
Linux implications for Microsoft being such a profitable cloud company that they can afford to give an OS away for practically free?
>>107737492>Better jump ship while it's still not a problem, because they'll do what they can to make you stay.I mean, they've already pushed a Windows update before that 'accidentally' reset Bitlocker keys - at which point, if you were a Home edition user with the Disk Encryption feature (aka Bitlocker lite) turned on (which MS force-enabled a while back), you had to log in to your MS account to reobtain a key.No sign-in? No access to your files.
>>107739151>It's also ironic that they want to do anything with Rust.You're a fucking gorilla if you can't put the pieces together on this. It so obviously fixes all of Microsoft's problems that it might as well have been called Visual Rust.>Installing libraries a pain on Windows? No problem, the build system has a package manager built-in! AND you can install software with it too, win-win!>Linking libraries a pain in Windows? No problem, the build system will just vacuum up crates and statically compile them together!>Compiling a pain in Windows? Don't want to use Visual Studio but don't want to cobble together MSYS garbage for gcc? Don't sweat it, we have one compiler and one build system and we know better than you!To say absolutely nothing of the programming language features itself, the tooling was a match made in Hell for Winshit devs.

Purely from a business perspective, the way AI companies are moving to buy as much hardware as possible recently is really making me raise an eyebrow.We know that venture capital funding for these companies is basically gone, AI stocks flatlined over the past few months or, in the case of some like Meta and Oracle, went down quite a bit.All they can rely on right now is their circular investments and I think what they're trying to do is just turn that cash into real assets with the expectation that the models will just scale themselves, and investors will again be convinced to put money into the system again. This is of course augmented by the fact that companies like Nvidia, AMD, and Micron are the ones giving Open AI and Microsoft hundreds of billions to turn right back around and buy products from Nvidia, AMD, and Open AI.Throughout the cycle we just haven't been seeing the uncapped colossal buy orders we saw at the end of 2025. So what's the endpoint here? When the manufacturers are paying companies to buy their own products and investors aren't seeing the business turn profitable, what happens next? Where does the fire's fuel come from?

The thing is, a lot of smug blue collar worker types who wanted to replace the creative types are going to be soiling their britches when Drone-technology, vision-to-action and other such becomes the next bugbear which if you have been paying attention will create a lot of noise pollution in the open skies and annoy the fuck out everyone and also proliferate online shooter games and MMOs with bots galore but it would also might even be the first steps to creating those "robots that do the dishes while humans do creative stuff" types post that artfags constantly whine about LLMs not being able to do.

>>107742472A game engine, reduced to the most fundamentals, is>input processing code>graphics rendering code>an update loop that takes user input, runs pluggable game logic, and renders the graphicsStart with this and then you can add features.Many simpler game engines focus a specific type or subset of game and provide a lot of utilities for making things easier. E.g. RPG Maker only allows you to make 2D sprite-based RPGs, but provide a very featureful framework for making your RPG work, with built-in logic for typical RPG UIs, battles, dialogue, NPCs and 2D world movement, etc. etc. Factorio is arguably a game engine where you can define a very specific type of factory game (the official Factorio game is internally basically a set of data files for the engine in exactly the same format as you'd write for a mod, it's even called "Base mod" internally).That doesn't mean you have to make a purpose-built or 2D-only game engine, but if you can provide special logic to make a specific type of game easier to build, it'll be a differentiating factor. Plus if you want to make your own game, it only makes sense to tailor your engine to make your own job easier.If you're trying to make a very generic engine you're basically competing with Unity or Unreal and the like.
>>107739550It's 100% the ISPs fault, I've been on this contract for almost a year now and never had issues in the past. Hardware is the same as always (TP-Link Archer BE550 that goes into a 2.5gbps switch, both my pc and nas have a 2.5G port). I know they were unhappy when I asked them if I could use my own router instead of their shitty one (which had only 1G LAN ports) as "there's no guarantee it'll work", and they didn't want for me to fully use my 2gbps connectionMan I hate the UK
>>107743454But how do you handle music? How do you handle other stuff like that? Is there a good book or resource that I can start to look into how to understand the architecture of a game engine software and where can i learn the fundamentals concepts that goes into one?Given, I don't really want to make a full game, I just want this to be a good programming project that I can develop on the side to get better at programming, the end goal would have a fully build and function game, maybe that be pong or something like that I don't really mind or care.

So my uni uses a format called .hwp, similar to .docx, and it can be only opened by a dogshit called Hancom which costs 60 bucks. Converting breaks fonts and stuff and I aint boughting this shit.Since it isn't used anywhere outside this retard nation the crack isn't avail on reputable sources like Rutracker. had to use Google Search (keyword: "한컴 오피스 2024 무료")I came across the following link:https://nameesse.tistory.com/965But something about it felt off-the compressed installer is 1.1 GB, the post doesn’t mention who made the crack, nor where he got it, nor a rough explanation on how it works.So I extracted the file(in retrospect I should have used a VM just in case, I did a windows reinstall just in case) and uploaded it to Viru Total-Trojans and Ransomware.So I dug into this out of curiosity and it seems the hacker used a legit crack and redistributed it with malwarehttps://blog.plainbit.co.kr/analysis-fake-hancomoffice-install-file/It was from originally hereComment too long.

LeCun fucking hates Zuck's gut huh?
>>107742949LeCun is really fucking based, he is one of the few that have power and that have the technical knowledge to say out loud that LLMs are a dead end.Tis a shame that he is still a neural network cuck unable to recognize that neural networks themselves are a dead end, just like symbolic AI was at its time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4__gg83s_Dohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N09C6oUQX5M
>>107743448If neural nets are a dead end, what do you think researchers should be looking into instead?
>>107743505They should stop masturbating about stateless mathematical models (because both symbolic AI and neural networks are about logic and math not computing or programming) and start focusing on stateful programs that are actually agentic (in the original sense of the word not in the llm corrupted marketing sense) by having internal state, internal goals and a real model of the world (LeCun is right about this part), all of this not through mathematical models but through programming. If our current languages and databases are not enough then we should make progress there, for example by researching graph databases and new languages that make expressing complex and dynamic rules about the real world possible.But corpos only want to sell their datacenter services, to them its a feature how inefficient LLMs are, and most researchers are not programmers they are stuck in their bubble of academia writing their papers in their ivory towers.
>>107743634This guy's proposed alternative to neural nets is better programming languages and databases.Absolutely fucking kek.
>>107743670The connectionist idea that the brain is an input/output stateless machine is ridiculous and an insult to life.Yes, the road to intelligence goes through stateful programming not through stateless mathematical models.And yes, computer science has barely advanced at all in the last 40 years, but that's because all the resources are used on bullshit corporate or academic shit that is not even meant to advance it.

>>107727170how do you handle user scripts? are they free to do whatever or is there some sort of interface they're obliged to use (i.e. they can't use system IO with disregard)? I'm not that familiar with CL so I don't know how user script integration works
>>107697626I use emacs primarily for technical writing. For me, it's not worth fucking with latex and org-mode headers. I write the bulk text in emacs then format it in libreoffice. Stallman was 100% correct in saying that emacs is not great as a word processor.
>>107743609Since it's CL there's no "real" limitation like that. I expose an interface but that's really just the same API I use in the editor natively, there isn't like a separate extension API.For example, users have an init.lisp that gets compiled/ran on startup, where they can set their config. If they wanted to they could literally redefine low-level editor functions in there and it would compile/replace the original function. Of course they're not expected to do anything like that, it's just to illustrate how CL works. Packages are just normal CL libraries that call the same API I use internally, and then they show up on the package browser. All that happens is the systems get loaded on initialization (ASDF precompiles them so it doesn't really affect startup speed, but you can bake them into compilation as well if you want 0 effect on startup). They just define the hooks they want and call e.g. add-command if they're adding a command. Think of it almost like appending source code to the original program, rather than exposing a library that then gets consumed. I'm not generating shared libraries or anything like that.
