1.5 is a step forward because it seems less censored and it's smarter but also a step backward because of the same face
>>107857534>it seems less censoredIs it? I didn't bother testing it much, but that wasn't my experience.
>>107857538Well, it seems to be more willing to do some things and also seems to be a little bit lewder
Hi /g/ I'm looking to rip my saved songs and playlists from Spotify. I've had a premium acct for a couple of years now but I'd like to download them for personal use so I don't need the acct anymore. Yet, for all my searching I just keep finding sketchy third party applications, usually ones that require a premium acct themselves.Do y'all have any suggestions on how I can download music (that I've paid for with my years of Premium) so I can listen to them whenever I want without the Spotify app? If nothing else I could cross reference them on Youtube and use a shitty youtube to mp3 website, but I'd like something a bit less involved if such a thing exists.
>>107858590Nice, thanks for the recommendation Anon. You're swell!
>>107858107they literally dropped a torrent of all spotify songs a couple weeks ago
>>107858107If you're on a pc my best suggestion is using something like spotdl: https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloaderUsed it semi-recently, was able to scrape about 4k songs that I had saved/liked.took a while but audio quality was good/serviceable for what I wanted.>>107858590I tried using deemix gui to download stuff a couple months ago and it seemed to be dead/down so I dunno if it still works so for op ymmv.>>107858946iirc the torrent from ana's archive is still incoming, they mostly just shared the most interesting data and stuff but I could be wrong
https://annas-archive.li/blog/backing-up-spotify.html
>>107859123Just tried deemix, it's still working for me. You have to set up a spotify app to access the API, so maybe one of the alternatives is less trouble to set up.
Is it safe to admit that Deepseek, MiniMax and Qwen are the actually good AI models yet? Or are we still going to pretend that ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and Claude count as "good" AI?
>>107855325qwen doesn't need an account so I use that. Simple as.
>>107855325They are good in benchmarks, but dogshit in real world applications. And no, I don't mean 4-bit quantized shitcrap, the large models, too.
>>107855325use GLM as alternative. their AI i consider good and "stable from derailing".as i use GLM as primary. copilot and gpt are the same. claude and gemini each of them are good on their own class. but i will chose gemini over claude.
>>107855439>recent informationthe reason I switched to it
>>107858306>But I think GLM-4.7 is the best overall model now. It came up with a solution to a coding problem which was significantly better than what Deepseek or GPT-5 came up with.This. It's amazing how much of a leap GLM 4.7 was from GLM 4.6. The gap between GLM 4.7 and Gemini 3 feels like the gap between Gemini 3 and Gemini 2. It's just so good compared to anything before.
so after almost half a decade of generative AI. investing billions in it. we got:- expensive hardware- content farms getting the steam engine and automating slop videos on youtube and social media- soulless "art" that no one cares about- boomercide of fake AI content on facebook- more bot farms on twitter- codemonkey peasants getting the tractor so they can produce even worse code.- scam AI startups that rugpull and shut down after 2 monthsnot a single penny of profit generatednot a single usecase
>>107858965>Generating concept art and soundConcept art is already extremely cheap in the grand scheme of producing games and movies so it won't have much of an effect on the industry financially.Some of the most visually iconic games are remembered for the strong influence the concept artist had on the direction (see Half Life for example). I don't see how cheaping out on artists here is gonna improve games or films when one of the main issues of generative AI is producing things that are novel and I can only see it increasing the trend of corporate bland safe visuals.Maybe the idea is that you don't have to develop the craftsmanship to allow more people to become concept artists, but I've yet to see any emerging slop artists that inspired us. I also doubt you'll see this as a career path when you cannot work on your craft to secure your position to stay valuable. It seems more likely if it is used the concept artist gets cut out entirely and you have some amateur or the director himself using the generation. If they expect current artists to adopt the tools it's gonna increase the production speed so much and devalue their work so much they have no choice but to become indistinguishable from an amateur slop generator. There's actually a somewhat related issue in the music industry with directors and music scores. There's a trend of bland orchestral scores because a lot of directors task musicians to ape Hans Zimmerman's sound instead of giving them enough freedom to come up with something memorable themselves.
>>107857955Use case for hate?
>>107858050ive seen guys asking ai for product recomendation, and they really think that AI is recommending something good to them, not just repeat random product page shill or reddit comment. I see ads working like that: it will shill you things that someone paid to be shilled>>107859185concept art in early stage of game dev or movie dev is just bunch of pencil, digital sketches done in few minutes each, only best ones goes into full painting that end up in art books or as a loading screen inside finished product (sometimes art directors will share that early work on his socials and usually it looks like things done by retarded kids in school on piece of paper or ipad but you can see how that early stage concept art shaped entire project into something good), automating that shit is insult for your entire project and like maybe few jobs lost, zero impact on overall budget or production time
>>107857814My use case is content aware fill to retouch photos and get rid of cables, trash etc. and extend the sky if I want to use a landscape photo in portrait mode.You could do a lot with the old techniques of cloning and brushes, but it takes more time for a worse result.
>>107858965The problem with your worldview is that you think it will automate Y but not automate X that makes automating Y pointless. It’s like talking about the future of smithing in 19th century being robotic hand helper that cleans your anvil and holds your metal item while you smack it with hammer, without realising that automated hammer or just full on metal casting on a conveyer belt are going to happen faster then robotic hands that hold your metal chunk, or that the job of a blacksmith is gonna be relevant.
Now that I have a HDR 1440p monitor... am I supposed to go back to MPC-HC with MadVR instead of using mpv?
>>107856643I don’t care
>>107856643spats
No mpv threadwhat shaders are the best for sharpening real life content?
>>107856643> HDR 1440p monitorI'm betting this is isn't real HDR.
>>107856643>HDRmeme>1440pmemeGet a 4K OLED
Just make the game render as interlaced scan instead of progressive.This will double the framerate, and reduce the pixels of each rame by half.Then all you have to do is use AI and both fields to generate a higher resolution full progressive frame.This will double whatever DLSS has to offer.No need to pay me, I'm working for free because the market needs a balance.
>>107857217omg r u bill gatse???
>>107856568None of this matters because AI is replacing gamers.Sorry gaymerbros but you guys are not needed anymore.AI can already play games better than you guys and it's getting better every day.

WTF I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT CASHBACK. BEEN SPENDING HUNDREDS LIKE LAST 2 MONTHS AND I MISSED OUT ALL THIS TIME??
>>107855141Just list it on eBay for parts. Unfortunately you got scammed.
>>107857159i've been autistically talking about it for so long that i'm sure it's annoying people
What's the best cheap usb 3 hdmi capture card? I want to use one with a camera I have with HDMI out to use as a webcam. Also, I might want to use a dummy battery with it.And for something unrelated. I used to have a Cyberpunk 2077 shirt that came with the collectors edition, and forgot about it for a long time until not long ago. Is there any seller that makes custom shirts with good quality patches or whatever? I have bought some shirts from that one clothes app (can't remember which, girls use it all the time), and the patches were pixelated shit.
So the bottom edge of my dechanic control mousepad is melting onto my table from exposure to me (over many years). Does anyone know where I can get a mousepad with a similar texture and material?

Hello /g/I made a list of what I've done at home/want to do, and I'd like further suggestions from here:PC.................................................Done (obviously)Personal ISP (via RIPE NCC) .....

>>107856276It's in progress because I haven't set it up yet, I'm trying to figure out how to configure the software for my purposes.Kubernetes, docker and simular software seem to be made with cloud computing in mind ( or "microservices" as they call them ), and I need it to run scientific computation.I have 2 threadrippers 3970x on Gigabyte TRX40 aourus masters with 512 GB DDR4 RAM total, currently one is my PC and the other I use for the long-running programs, been trying to link them up.The server's got a dual epyc setup (woun't be used in the cluster).
>>107857000And desu this much ram is a waste on both of them, max usage I ever get is 100 GB use when I fuck up.
>>107856276Also thx for the suggestions, I'll look into them
so do you like call up another ISP and be like >hey I got some fiber and some internet registrations, I want to connect to your thingieand they're like ok NP it's free? o algo
>he read the pragmatic programmer
>>107859209Javi a society of the top means better productivity and quality of life for all like Japan. Bottom means poverty and competency decline where people are poor angry and don't know why like Arab countries . Being lazy is not a virtue

You don't need a new computer. Your COVID PC is good enough.
>>107850640same actually, my 2012 PC had an Intel 3820 CPU.last year I built a new one with an i5 12400.it's definitely a low-power CPU but still 2.5 times faster than my old one in benchmarks.
>>107850517>you will own nothing and be happy
>You don't need a new computer.9800x3d and 5090, I'm good broski.
>>107850542does the software get better though?
>>107850544thats a 15 year old junker anon, why did you even spend money putting together a jaguar system
Other than for storing videos and photos taken with your phone, is there a reason to even need more than 256GB on a phone? People with more than 256GB, what do you use your extra capacity for not including the videos and photos you take with it?
>>107854632google photos automatically copies your photos to google clouddefault is ONyou can turn it off
>>107849543Based. The deals in the Lidl app are usually garbage anyway.
>>107849207yes they do. most people dont seem to understand why phones are heavily subsidized when they sign up for a 24-month lock-in high monthly cost phone plan
>>107859237>No, I am an exception! I NEEED to spend $1500 on the 512GB variant! Kiss your self, saaar!
>>107859234>doesn't really use the sd card>doesn't die
what is wrong with these people exactly
>>107858351who cares about clisp, it's too slowsbcl is where common lisp at
>>107858915It's to emphasize their greediness, goy.You wouldn't get it.

>>107858882Hang on the last big tech company I worked for named everything after Lord of the Rings stuff and my team was 100% white guys (the PM was a white woman.)
Besides the fact that its low powered and cute n tiny. Whats the advantage of buying a raspberry pi for $160 versus buying something like a used hp elitedesk g3 for less than $100? Why pay more for less computing power? Besides people out there living off the grid trying to conserve power, i dont understand the point of these things
>>107856803think whatever you want, but this is still less than what apple would charge for the same amount of RAM.
>>107852776The three main reasons I could see would be third party support, lower power usage, and ready to go images that can be written to a microsd and booted.I use a 3b+ for a stratux and find it convenient I can just write the image to it and know it'll work instead of having to fuck around with alternative packages do to hardware differences. I like linux based computing and have been running it for close to two decades now however sometimes a just werks solution that still respects me is nice.
>>107852776If you don't need the low power consumption, don't need the GPIO pins, don't need the computer to be very small and light and want a faster chip then just don't buy the raspberry pi. No product ever is for everyone.
>>107852776They were very affordable before everything went to shit with supply chains, and scalpers targeting them lol. Is what it is.
>>107853043Tinkering.Commercially available SBCs are tinkerer toys. Obviously an option to attach all the leds, sensors and other "trinkets" is what you want on SBC because that's for what you gonna use this kind of stuff.
Any ziggers?
