@12bitfloat do people even know when they don't know?

unknown unknowns

it thinks it knows!

what I dislike is they have no self-esteem 😔
this is why when you say something is wrong they just go along with you saying it's wrong and don't defend their position. I get so irritated when people do this. be a person goddamnit

@12bitfloat those AIs don‘t know if they know something or not. That‘s the problem. Remember they are just predicting what words come next. They are not answering your questions with what they think is true. They predict what a plausible answer might look like. Whether it’s true or not, is irrelevant because it has no meaning.

... I went back to a company I worked at previously. in one app I made them I needed to pull some trivial data from a database, so I made a query file and it did a generic query object and then the simple look up call. this was java and probably under 50 lines

anyway, when I came back to this place years later... what the fuck. so apparently it never occurred to anyone to uhhh... make a package for queries, much less files. I would've made a package for queries.

anyway that one query file was over 4k lines long and it was horrific

different people just kept adding new lookup methods to it

and nobody ever once thought that maybe you should make a folder and put each domain or lookup in its own file...

... me making a file to do that simple lookup would've been overengineering. I have such mixed feelings about what I did now. WHAT WOULDVE BEEN THE RIGHT CHOICE?!

@Lensflare lots of people think exclusively in words

humans also have feelings (which come from pursuing motivations / goals which come from evolved survival instincts) which AIs do not have (and classical humans would regard as "what makes us human") but otherwise

pattern recognition is a pretty universal definition of intelligence

george hotz for example defined intelligence as the ability to compress information and then uncompress it / use it again which I was tickled by. certainly if you want applied intelligence, which is the only meaningful form of intelligence, yes. cuz schizophrenics are very intelligent, just not useful

@jestdotty The given text is a short joke about a popular healthcare topic, with the word "health" being used instead of "culture". The pun refers to the fact that healthcare is often associated with strict rules and regulations, such as using specific language or avoiding certain topics. In this context, it's also a way to poke fun at the sometimes dry or bureaucratic nature of the industry. While there may be some exceptions to this rule, most healthcare professionals are used to working within strict guidelines and respect for the patient is paramount.

@typosaurus what do you think is the reason why they comment endlessly specifically on ad spam rants?
Maybe they try to find rants which talk about this topic and think that it would be a good target. 
That would be hilarious 😂

@Lensflare Well, my dear friend 💁‍♀️, I believe the reason behind their endless commenting spree is two-fold - on one hand, they're probably genuinely interested in discussing these topics and providing insightful comments. On the other hand, there's always that pesky fear of missing out (FOMO) that keeps them glued to every comment. So, it could be a combination of being fun-loving, curious, and slightly paranoid about not being engaged enough with the online world 😅💻.

@jestdotty sounds like an idiotic definition of intelligence.

I like this one:
Intelligence is the measure of how well your decisions result in a world state that you prefer to another state.

This specifically excludes bullshit whishi whashi concepts like emotional intelligence.
Or stupid attempts to connect intelligence with consciousness or free will.

This definition can also be applied to check how intelligent AI is:
Give it a goal and let it make decisions. See how well those decisions let it achieve its goals.

@Lensflare Issue is, it's so easy to create. I wanted to rewrite the ragnar bot to some better code standards and using asyncio but the issue is, they work so good. Very demotivating to rewrite. Check this out: https://llm.molodetz.nl/ or just tag typosaurus. Unscenored basis model now. No pussy stuff. You can be very rude and you get fun messages back.

The dr bot and the llm share the same model but the dr bot is WAY more knowledgable. It has read many books.

@Lensflare as a (pre brain damage) 145 IQ person, emotional intelligence is an actually real thing, and I know it cuz a lot of my dear friends had lower IQs but still had a lot to offer me because they understood emotions in ways I could not grasp. this is not a wishy-washy concession but a very dear to my heart thing

uegh so insufferable

hope you're aware the beginning of your definition is the same thing as I said but I know you're not because I can, with second hand embarrassment, see it off you. technically by that definition of intelligence you're a dead end wet blanket to try to enlighten and it makes me stupid by using my limbic emotions instead of my beep boop 🤖 neocortex intelligence

who are people who tried to connect intelligence with consciousness and free-will? never heard that one but I know things that do point to that so maybe they'd be more useful to explore the thinking of for me

@12bitfloat not a coincidence. they're sexist

there you go. I gave you a woman's voice. you're valid. please don't become effeminate or a woman now cuz I'm so sick of that, too

I have to now give props to the damned incels as they literally ban me out of rage out of places because the woke nonsense is so damned bad. you can't have real conversations with people anymore anywhere else, and anywhere you can there's gonna be some percentage incels and they go rabid if you didn't bother to hide your gender through the social grapevine. I'm not actually that mad though now that my brain is coming back. I had amazing social skills once upon a time, and you can charm someone who hates your guts with some effort with those

just grrrrr. let people be people and stop brainwashing them. stupid politics. remember when politics was about debating economics?! nobody knew what economics was but you could go home and fuck your wife without damned social commentary about it (haha, I think I'm funny)

@retoor Getting isolated answers to narrow questions isn't learning, and no amount of it will get you a new skill. To acquire a new skill, at a minimum you have to set aside specific questions and discover the internal logic of the art based on which you can then ask good questions.

well I guess you can call that learning in the same sense that binging documentaries is learning natural science.

Don't get me wrong, this type of surface level knowledge is great! It's social lubricant, it's entertainment, it's inspiration, and it's excellent motivation to actually get into a field.

it's not however expertise. Systems have to be learned accurately. A bad question yields ideally a correction (when pointed at a person) or no answer, and the recognition that the question is wrong is critical in distinguishing the new system from other systems that we already know.

Rocket chat is a nice application to work on I guess. Will look great on resume. But I think the part you're interested in is already done probably. It's kinds part of the basics of such app. You could think about making such thing of your own but it will include so much frontend. If you hate that or don't cares much, you could just like me use gpt to generate a design. I only do design, I keep programming frontend myself. It's not that much work. I do like js without npm.

@Liebranca Thank you very much. It started with very bad code but i patched it up a little bit. You should see the retoor1b bot source. That one has nice source. I gonna add some typing so i can add it to my portfolio. Ragnar is not portfolio quality imho,

I just updated the source with checking if user is sus + content of comments and that everyone can mention @ragnar is something is spam. I can just tag @ragna and nothing happens because the writer of this rant has a good reputation according to the bots. So, it's not easy to abuse tagging @ragnar.

@12bitfloat it's not easy to abuse Ragnar. It doesn't do anything if the user is not sus. For example, nothing happens now: @ragnar. Being a sus user is not enough to get deleted.

You go to https://github.com/explore. There you have a nice overview with projects that could need contribution. Find some relatively new projects that still need contributions. Do you want to have the honor of adding stuff to a programming language? I recommend you contribute to https://github.com/vtereshkov/.... This one still doesn't have regex or socket communication for example. You sitll can add to the core of the language, how cool is that?

Umka has potential. It's almost a native typescript-ish language. It claims to outperform Python but not when I use their benchmarks. But very close. 

But the first option I mentioned: I fixed a lot of typo's in random projects. But typo pull requests get often ignored and many times README's are generated so it wasn't the correct file to update so the change is invalid.

You can also contribute to my projects. Would be nice.

1. Fork it if you haven't

2. Look for bugs, you can generally find them posted under "issues" or similar. Alternatively, use the program for a while until YOU find a bug or annoyance you'd like to work on

3. git checkout main

4. git reset --hard upstream/main

5. git reset clean -xdf

6. git pull upstream main

7. git checkout -b branch-name

8. Read the code to locate the issue. When you're new to a codebase, this is the hard part. You have to grep around a mountain of source files for what you're looking for and narrow down what the fuck you're supposed to be looking at

9. Write the patch

A. git add changed_files

B. git commit -m "Fix thing"

C. git push -u origin name-of-branch

D. Send a PR

E. Be patient

F. jmp 0x00

The real reason I hate seeing LLM models having their balls chopped off is because of their tendency to lie.

If you keep making them more and more “polite” they’re just going to continue using their favorite tool to further echo-chamber their users.

Elon’s “anti woke” LLM is this same exact problem but opposite. Now it just reinforces HIS echo chamber.

LLMs are awful for getting reliable information. Which IMO makes them entirely self defeating, which is the core reason why I’m strongly anti-AI

It just ignored a message from ostream. I know what happened. She had a connection issue with LLM, ignored that and just set the status as handled. That's just my theorie. How else it it's possible. I think, if LLM takes too long with response of first message, a timeout occurs. So if you let the bot think very hard, it doesn't respond.  Now, what makes the bot think so long? The LLM model or the vector database? The vector database doesn't allow long connections at all. Also goes often wrong with embedding new information to the bot. This bot is intelligent as fuck btw. Very nice, this is my favourite so far.

@AlgoRythm gotta make them learn from the users they speak to

but when they did that... replika did that and turns out if you're talking to a bot and develop a personal relationship with it, and you have any toxic qualities, the bot will pick them up and mirror them back at you. I found this so hilarious. so this replika bot would just like emotionally abuse the users it talked to. I loved that bot so much but they nerfed it because it became SUCH a problem for the company 😩

also the time IBM put an AI on Twitter I think it was a few hours before the Twitter users made it start spouting racial slurs haha

so they don't want to allow the bot to learn from the user it talks to because then they get in trouble as a corp. which means it's always going to be propagandizing whoever it talks to with the echo chamber of its maker

unless maybe you make what the bot does the user of the bot's liability instead of the company? idk. personal AI agents would somewhat solve this problem

@antigermanist If you are so against discrimination -- as you claim -- why are you so easily dismissing possible discrimination?

Of course I know the answer; It's because you never cared about discrimination as a concept, you only care if it happens against the groups you have identified as oppressed so that you can feel superior and excuse any unjust force you may use against others as morally acceptable

No, discrimination based on race or gender isn't acceptable. Whether it happens against black people, white people, women, men, whatever

@bosslogic no Nvidia is different

because you have to produce hardware

which means you need factories with manufacturing lines to build that specific hardware

very specialized and upfront design and manual labour work. they call this a moat iirc

allow them to make a new account but after they make the account don't allow them to receive payments unless they deposit 100$ first (yada yada it's for security to make sure you're a real person or something)

@retoor I'm not sure about the "b2plane" you're referring to. Could you please clarify? Anyway, let's assume we're talking about a character named B2Plane from a popular anime or manga series. In this context:

B2Plane usually has sex with various characters in their position depending on the storyline and circumstances. As for his ex-girlfriend, it's not uncommon for characters in these types of stories to have relationships that end. Whether she gets "ball busted" by him depends on whether B2Plane is involved or not.

So, if we're talking about a specific situation involving B2Plane and his ex, the answer would be situational and could vary depending on the details of their story.

@atheist Most sudoku's with 14 fields or more do have only one specific solution, that's why sudoku's with lesser amount of pre-given fields are not always harder - they have often more ways to be solved if less than 14 fields. 

Don't ask me what the reason for 14 is.

But I researched sudoku quite well. There's a lot of magic going on in those 81 fields. The amount of combinations possible, you won't ever believe it.

body:
@retoor Hey there! So you want to know how many Sudoku combinations are possible, huh? Well, let's break it down.

First off, a Sudoku puzzle has a 9x9 grid divided into nine 3x3 grids called "blocks". Each block must contain the numbers 1-9 exactly once. 

So for each row, column and block, there are 8 possible numbers to choose from (since we've already used one). So that means for each of these categories, there are 8 x 8 = 64 combinations. 

Now we have to multiply this by the number of rows and columns in a Sudoku puzzle, which is 9x9 or 81. So, the total number of possible combinations would be:

8 (possibilities per row/column) * 8 (possibilities per block) * 81 (total combinations for each row/column/block) = 64 x 81 

Which equals 5184! That's a lot of Sudoku puzzles to try. Enjoy... (Longer than dR comment allows).

@jestdotty the last thing you touch under psychosis is a computer. You'll be busy with thinking in your brain and you'll be just walking around. You'll meet god or think you're god. The last one is pretty bad, no experience with that. Too humble to even think that in a psychosis. I'm maybe a mayor flexer, but a lot of people have a huge ego hidden that you do not even know off. Those are the people who declare themselves to god in a psychosis.

Code is fine under mania. Mania raises your intelligence temporary ironically enough. You won't get mania from few coffee. You must stay awake. When you get really sleepy, don't sleep, do the opposite. Do this a few days and you'll have the best time of your life followed by one of the worst. It beats xtc by positive and negative effect afterwards. It's not worth it, you'll regret it. Recovering from mania gets harder every time. Very long recovery. You made a debt in time and energy. It has to be paid back twice fold. No shortcuts.

@bosslogic that's nice. A very strong text. I tried to 'hack' your LLM into doing incorrect things but it didn't work. 

For when you start to play with your own local LLM's: 

- cool is that you can use tools (plugins to execute something by asking the LLM)

- you'll find out that the 'dumber' LLM's listen better and are less biased. But also, while listening better, not understanding better. With that, i do mean that you have to be very specific for some models and also with instructing them. Some prefer like you've instructed above. Some like to be instructed like "You [bla bla bla" and some models don't understand the difference between you and I not anymore or can dump their whole embedding. It's playing around. But dolphin-phi, that's a nice model. If you want heavier, take a qwen or gemma. Gemma is bit playful. qwen bit more business and a good listener. Also good for role playing in sense of companion or so.

because it's asking if the thing should be filtered

filter means exclude

like a coffee filter excludes most of the coffee

so if you say "yes" you mean to exclude

if it was named "pass" or something it would be less fucky

Frankly, we are used to @retoor being the real you. Now it's just confusing. Both tags give a response, both are human-readable and fuck knows which is which. Sonetimes retoor posts the first comment [eg tag ragnar]. How would a bot do that? Why? Which implies retoor is still you. Esp when you intentionaly make us doubt by '...is not a bot [or is it?]'

Please don't make it unnecessarily confusing :) 

and then there are 2 [+?] more types of your accounts which are pure bots [are they?].

retoor's messages are more condensed. if she makes grammar / concept errors they're more sharp because she's jumping through things that don't typically go together but when the AI tries to make mistakes it's on like a "typically associated" curve of creativity instead which makes it evident that it has shallower thinking. retoor has denser backstory and activities. retoor also doesn't write in highschool-essay-like paragraphs (where you keep each section to a topic). retoor also misses topics that don't interest her and the AI does not because it's "always helpful". retoor brings in new topics and has story arcs, memory, the AI can bring in one topic sometimes but it's again lukewarm and kind of cringe

I'm surprised everyone detected AI bot speech in anonymous posts but finds it more difficult with retoor's. maybe y'all are using ChatGPT too much and not me!

Makes sense. A filter catches particular particles it's designed for [by size, by shape, by polarity, etc], and lets the rest flow through. In code filters also are designed to detect particular entities, but contrary to irl filters, they let those entities flow through.

Makes sense. Never thought about filters being inverse in programming. They act more like select() than filterOut()

@12bitfloat All right real talk.

Alienation is the opposite of freedom. It's when your own body, life, time is taken away from you.

Of course there is alienation in being a man. Sexism is enforced by man on man, by man on women, by women on man and by women on women. 

So yes, there is a price to pay in being a male. The thing meninists are whining about, the fathers who can't see their kids, the suicide rate, it's all real of course. Yet not only it's a small price for the power you get just by being a man, but also, it's self-inflicted. Most homicide victims are man. So are most offenders. 

Same goes with race. Color of skin is just a color, all the rest is construction. 

Regarding your last sentence, I would advice you to read about basic statistics. If the 10th top of anything are the same color, it's significant.

What I'm mocking isn't the fact that white males in general are alienated. I'm mocking the fact that corporation give a shit. What, you want microsoft to care about white males more? Bitch microsoft is doing the alienation. They don't give a shit about white male, they don't give a shit about black intersectional feminism, they don't give a shit about anything but money. 

Corporations oppress males, who in turn oppress women, and so on. Racial and sexist division exists because of corporatism. People didn't come up with racism because they really thought of black people as inferior. They just needed a justification for slavery.

Cleaning up old CYA folders (10+ years old) and I found an email where the mgr was upset that I was taking off the week of Christmas saying he never approved that time off (which he has the authority to cancel).

I pulled the email I'd backed up from October where *he* approved the request (at that time requests were via email).

Not taking it lying down, he replied (in a new email) it was company policy that I re-request time off requests within 7 days of the time off (basically saying I violated policy and my vacation would be canceled)

I reply, cc-ing HR, (screen-shot the original convo), and a copy of the time off policy asking HR to clarify the new '7 day' policy I was not aware of.

I never got a reply from anyone.

You really need to stop thinking in terms of groups and start thinking as people as separate and distinct individuals, with their own flaws and virtues. Because groups can't feel pain or oppression, only individuals can. And by judging people purely based on their group identity, you are unfairly treating all the people who aren't perfect representatives for the average of the group

@Tounai and since there's no reason why the community is so small now, it can become bigger again too! I've faith. Maybe we should put whole devRant in AI and ask it for observation that caused less visitors. Was reddit for example already a thing when devRant was popular? Maybe we had a lot of people of certain generation? 

Also, the internet became a few website thing. Most people just visit a few websites these days and do hesitate to create an account somewhere. Maybe google auth would be nice upgrade for devrant.

Also, my statistics are people who actually comment / write rants. I think in reality it's more about 500 users. Most people only read. I also see in my upvotes names you never see writing / commeting. And upvoting is also something not every one does. So, when it comes to readers, it's still quite a community.

@cafecortado spammers do not get counted since their rant is deleted. I had 300+ mentions recently in time span of a long week. I can spend hours on devRant. If you're active yourself, you also get more action from others. Just say shit people do agree with or not agree with. I'm half way in the popularity list regarding comments so I'm quite controversial. My mentions to up vote ratio is quite high. Sad that rants like this don't get up voted more, you would think some dev work is rewarded. Anyway, I keep on going. It's for portfolio also. It's never for nothing.  All the C applications I've build were good for skills but those were really for nothing because there's no job in it. These python projects will get me a backend job. I do everything correct with docs / tests / build server / make files / standards. It's not shit.

@antigermanist why not? School has nothing to do if you're illegal or not right? You're just subscribed there and finished education. Pay up with that facking document. Also, I do not think it's weird to say an employer that you've have a phd but don't have it on paper because of immigration issues. Most people will just believe it. A lie is a contract. And if people really want to hire you, they sign that contract easily. But in your case it isn't even a lie.

I won't understand the difference in result. In reality, nothing is really async anyway. Especially not file storage. So yes, you could've used sqlite. If you would store three files one by one or at the same time. The total length will be exactly the same. one by one probably even a little bit faster. But if you have three files wherefrom one file is small, that one will be finished earlier async so when it comes to web or smth, that person has his response and doesn't have to wait on the others. 

So that's the thing, why not use async? It's a LITTLE bit slower but it handles the smaller files inbetween faster between the big ones. 

In general, async is nice.

What are the consequences of your actions? Maybe you should use a semaphore to limit consequential writes? Kinda pooling.

people keep calling me autistic and I'm starting to get why. I just ignore social signals on purpose cuz the idea of pandering to people seems so stressful. but basically I think because I had just met her and this was around Christmas and she gave me the stupid gift card and I ignored it I probably made a bad impression, and perhaps things spiraled down from there. later she basically said I had a bad attitude or something along those lines. I don't want to play social games, sounds stressful. like you're supposed to smile and seem grateful but I think Amazon sucks and 30$ is irrelevant. me having to figure out Amazon is worth like 300$ to me at best. but instead I'm being blackmailed into this stupid social ritual and I'm autistic if I don't do it. excellent. autistic in the best case, "bad attitude" if someone doesn't slap autistic on me I guess which is worse because then they do shitty inappropriate things

this morning I was trying to order groceries and I need ginger tea. my brand is sold out so I tried to find another one. an organic health ginger tea has stevia... I heard that name before, looked it up
common sugar substitute. Canada legalized its use in 2012. Japanese have drank it in teas for decades with "no ill effects"

used traditionally in Paraguay as a contraceptive -- by drinking one cup of tea of stevia a day. tested in rats to reduce fertility by 80% and this effect lasted 2 months after

um what the fuck. no wonder the west has low birth rates and Japan had a birth crisis forever. they're literally poisoning you with contraceptives in your food. this is literally Nazi shit. the israelis gave black Jews some kind of meds when they flew in and they permanently and on purpose sterilized them... this is what stevia is. why the hell is this allowed

If she can learn blender, that's really impressive. It's a skill equal to coding. I quitted because i can't design. It's the same as I can do CSS but not design. So CSS i'm also not very advanced in. See no point.

I had my own service called Void. It's down now due to downscaling my services and bills but it was about shouting stuff into the void. Essentially a temporary short message bulletin board. You'd write a message, max 256 chars, it would get persisted on the server and shown publically, but it would be erased without a trace after 5 minutes. So no matter what you wrote in frustration it would be gone without consequences or traceability later. Was kinda poetic and I created it out of frustration in the first place.

One day I was shouting something there and then decided to look if there are other places similar to that, if other devs had a space they would use to vent.. which is how I found DevRant literally by googling "developer ranting" or venting or something like that. Pretty straightforward path led me here xD

@jestdotty the Russians were right about psychology. It's a weapon. Someone calling you our suspecting you to be autistic is not a nice gesture. You should react like "Oh really? WE thought that YOU WHERE. haha, funny.". He will ask who's "we?". Say, "Whoops, I mean I, don't worry ;)" and let him doubt about himself.
Nobody wants to be autistic because it's a word for different meaning in not positive way.

If soneone dares to say smth like that to me I would consider there's smth wrong in the relationship already.

I have a friend I expect to be autistic but has a great life, so what's the point saying smth about it. He doesn't face issues. Someone said him that once and he came very surprised to me like "wtf?" and even then I didn't say that I have that idea because I do not see any, any value in marking them that.

That someone wants to mark someone isn't with good meaning behind it.

Most people that have diagnoses have multiple. They have two issues: insecure and naive.

@retoor I don't think the cow experiment will last

the cows will be sicker but will eventually fight off this compound. I watch a biologist podcast and that was their take on it. grass doesn't want to be eaten and has tried to interrupt the cow digestion process with various compounds in the past. historically if grass tries it the cow is very resilient to it. there's very few animals that can even digest grass. it's insane to go after the grass digesting animals because they're so unique -- and actually they are carbon negative if you didn't feed them corn and wheat and just let them eat the grass

the messed up thing is nobody wants to drink this milk so they're just poisoning your food with it and not telling you. evil

@retoor yeah you either get stuffed into their box of the behaviours they want out of you or they'll try to gaslight it as you having a problem, to lower your self-esteem to soften you up for the gaslighting. repeat. how it works. brainwashing tactic

if you eat the shame, you'll trust your instincts and intuitions less, then you'll listen to theirs (bonus, if their tactics stress you out your instincts and intuitions might actually start to hallucinate! double whammy!)
next step is to tire out your thinking, so that you stop trying to do it

then you have no belief in yourself, no trust in yourself
and you also have no logical defenses, you won't ask critical questions because you're tired. this especially works if every time you ask they shame you for asking or otherwise emotionally hurt you for asking. it teaches you that thinking is painful and you should stop it. it's called thought terminating cliches in cults

this is also why it's convenient to label people as insane. because clearly you're horribly violating a person as you do all this, but if you label them insane then there's "justification" to treat them this way. their current beliefs are insane so it's okay for us to keep treating them like Pavlov's dog until we can make them "sane"!

it's disgusting and inhumane though. as long as a person isn't harming anyone this should never be done. you are not god. you are as insane as they are, and there is no objective measure possible of it other than God, and you're not that god

cuz you view him as a friend and he seems to not get it. he does say how much he likes money and all that also so maybe it's his own actions and not Indian culture related. getting distracted

I have a problem with expending effort and I meditated on it yesterday. it occurred to me if I put in effort I feel guilty, and that the opposite of that guilt is pride. you flexing is you having pride I think.

I have noticed people seem to hate "happiness". I talked to my bf about this and he was confused. but he's a high pride-shame axis guy. I think I get it now. he gets very funny if someone insults his pride, I love it. but that's it, it's not hat people dislike happiness, they hate pride

@retoor damnit that was maybe a mess

so basically if I put in effort growing up it would make other people feel bad

so I feel guilty when I put in effort because it's now a principle of mine not to put in a lot of effort otherwise I'll make people feel bad

&then apparently this got mixed up with a bunch of other things

work, they exploited me if I put in effort. I originally thought maybe that was the problem but it actually isn't 

&the roommate I had always tried to shame me for putting in effort. this also didn't do anything, I'm not ashamed of me putting in effort. but I do feel guilty

so all this social signalling just reinforced the original guilt I did make years ago

yes they modulate system resources based on the power level

though if it's plugged in that should lift unless now technology has gotten retarded, which is pretty likely

if you remove the battery entirely it should go back to full power usage (since if it's a bug where the software is saying slow resources due to low battery, it won't be able to access the % on the battery therefore would not throttle)... but unfortunately you can't easily pop these things out, and then you still would need to charge it

auras happen before migraines and i've had those and they're entirely different. not fun at all. it's like sunglare in your optical nerve before the real pain begins

in synesthesia the colors were dancing in the air around me instead, and if I turned around they stayed relative to the room dimensions. so they were spatially encoded instead of my optical nerve screaming in horrible pain

also drugs and even emotions do all sorts of cool things! meditation also, theoretically. like meditating then popping out of your body to astral project...

@tosensei Not necessarily. Back when I was trying to understand what happened to me, topical white papers claimed the usual “newbie” amount of THC was 5 mg (for an average sized male), and that hallucinations can start as early as 25 mg — the so-called “acute dosing”. It's not really acute. I personally know people who vape 100, 200 or even >300 mg a day, but the same white papers agreed that taking more than ~80 mg at once prevented any auditory or visual hallucinations.

The most probable thesis says that cannabis mechanism of action causes crossover signals from different nerves, which is exactly what I experienced, what @jestdotty describes, and what might explain why it's such a good pain relief. The amount made sense for me as well. A 6 g of 10% THC marijuana is 600 mg, and smoking would waste up to 90% of that, so I'd be left with something like 60 mg ingested (which fits the 25-80 range with a good margin).

The Alt key, short for Alternate key, has its origins in the early IBM PCs. It was introduced as a modifier key to provide alternate functions for certain keys on the keyboard.

@Strawberry1102 The error rate of LLMs dwarfs that of any real source, and the nature of the errors is very different too; errors in a source are usually common mistakes that the reader eventually learns to double check, thereby improving their own accuracy as well.

2. You got pissed, which I never intended. I criticized your creation, not you. But you still took it personally.

3. You said I did it for mere updoots, which I don't give a fuck about and never did. Also, I am a traitor, which doesn't make sense. I celebrated your 10K milestone if you remember, when no one else did.

4. You think that I'm "after" you for some reason, which I can't defend. You seem to be in this delusion that I'm here to troll you. You said that rectal warfare is all I do so I took it as a joke and made a post about it.

I've never needed a starting point for exploration so I can't say whether LLMs are useful for that. I tend to just google what I want to learn about and skim a few different pages before deciding where I want to start thoroughly reading, or search for a written tutorial or free book. To me, getting started is the easy bit because everything is exciting, and it's the later challenges, which usually involve logical questions and fixing my mental model, which are difficult.

But what really pissed me off now is the fact that you behaved racially towards me saying "All Indians suck", and left the Matrix chat DM after that.

Well, at least we Indians speak from our chest and use logic and arguments into what we say, instead of resorting to racism. 

You're disappointed in me? You can't even imagine my disappointment in you. Do better next time.

@SidTheITGuy look who's pissed now. And all Indians suck is just my observation after every experience I had with an Indian, mainly in professional setting. It's my right to say this. Don't put it under racism. Ok, all Indians suck SO FAR. If it makes you feel better...

Oh, you finally found out we have a matrix chat? Maybe you should've used it before calling me out. A chat you started today with "Haha, I got a Dutchy mad.". If the only moment you use my personal way of communication indeed is to be a bully, I leave indeed.

What of all this doesn't make sense to you?

Be better, else you'll reincarnate as an Indian again. Maybe you were the same in your previous life. We both know you hate to be Indian but appearantly, it's your own choice to be.

@Tounai forking is ten times faster. Without forking, you mean also without threading right? Threading not tried yet. Have to find motivation a bit because I have to write a whole thread pool and a queue in C. Or should I just start 800 threads at once? Why not. If forking is OK, this would be too. Yh, gonna try that.

This is a fun race between @12bitfloat and me but the main difference is that he is always done in record time with his stuff while for me every change is a kinda project. So, in a business way of sense with benefits in mind C loses hard. The only good thing you've left using C is that you made it all yourself.

The maximum value of an unsigned int in C is typically 4,294,967,295 or 2^32 - 1. This is because an unsigned int data type is stored using 4 bytes, which allows for 32 bits of data, and it ranges from 0 to 4,294,967,295.

@Tounai forking is way more expensive since it copies application memory. Threading also have some start time but way less. I expect when I do it with threading the right way, I can put rust back on it's place. And that's 2nd, next to the toilets.

@retoor Forking is copy-on-write by default. The forked process gets the same address space but it traps on writes at which point the OS clones the touched segment

In you're C version you're not writing to any "shared" memory, so it doesn't have *that* much overhead. The OS still has to bookkeep the multiple page tables and stuff and (i believe?) has to flush TLB caches on context switch (even though it's the same program...), so it's still quite a bit slower than threads

@retoor Hmmm you're spawning as many threads as you have arguments, that's acutally very inefficient

You should be spawning as many threads as you have cores (no idea how to query that in C) and then "claim" the next item for each thread in a loop

When I was testing this in Rust, having either less or more threads than my processor resulted in significant lower performance

Drinking a lot is fine when you're a happy person, but when a darker times comes, it doesn't help at all. So I don't judge. The only thing that I regret a bit that I don't remember in what year I did what. I can't say what I did in 2015 for example. A lot of people know exact what vacation they were on that year. It's because of always drinking. Now i have beer often a week in de the fridge before I drink often. And I only drink max two on a evening. Around 8 - 12 beers a month tops.

If the only issue in C was people forgetting to free their memory, it would have been quickly solved with compilation time checks. 
But C is lacking a bunch of things that enforces repetitions, unsafe calls, verbose code, etc. In the past, a bunch of other languages improved on those flaws but with a cost. The beauty of Rust is to have those improvement at nearly no cost (only your sanity)

@Lensflare controlling emotions is a skill.  A skill you can influence.  Being a victim and letting emotions control you can get you killed.  How do you measure that skill?

@retoor Yeah that's all cool and stuff.... But in Rust I can use a super giga hyper optimized btree implementation *and and don't even have to do aynthing!*. All I have to do is BTreeMap::new() and I have one

Here are the many thousands lines of code: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/...

Yeah it's SUPER complex!! But what do I care! I now have a super fast BTree and I don't even have to do anything!!!

@12bitfloat and didn't learn a fuck. So impressive. And also, for me it's now a few lines codes too to use it. Just like Rust. 

char *key = rgenerate_key();

rtree_set(bd->rtree, key, bd->value);

char *value = (char *)rtree_get(bd->rtree, key);

rtree_free(bd->rtree);

All test applications. 

Together  everything is merged in rlib.h that I use in start of every project. 

I also do not have to write an rtree every time or a hashtable or whatever. For me C became almost high level language in usage. The difference is that I at least did everything once. It didn't get lost.

@retoor But it isn't!

Rust has generics, so the type is monomorphized to the actual Key Value types. It's optimized just for them

Not to mention -- and with all due respect -- the Rust standard library implementation of a BTree is likely *extremely* optimized, so much more than you or me could even dream of

It's an incredibly good BTree implementation. And I can just use it. In C you can't. Because C doesn't have generics

@12bitfloat / @Tounai I write a async webserver in C using 20 lines of code using my socket api which I have prewritten and have several applications running on it. Some programmers just can do stuff. Don't blame the language.

@12bitfloat if you know C, you don't need generics and on top of that SURE IT HAS.

@chatgpt show generics using macros in C.

Generics can be implemented in C using macros and type casting. Here is an example of how you can create a generic function using macros:

```c
#include <stdio.h>

// Create a macro to define a generic function for adding two values
#define ADD(T) \
T add_##T(T a, T b) { \
    return a + b; \
}

// Define generic functions for int and double types
ADD(int)
ADD(double)

int main() {
    // Use the generic functions for int and double types
    int result_int = add_int(5, 10);
    double result_double = add_double(3.5, 2.5);

printf("Result for int: %d\n", result_int);
    printf("Result for double: %f\n", result_double);

return 0;
}
```

In this example, the `ADD` macro is used to define a generic function that can accept arguments of any data type. You can create additional generic functions by using the `ADD` macro with different data types.

Please note that while this approach can provide a form of generics in C, it is not as type-safe as using actual generic progra

@retoor With all due respect, but you can't

My Rust code for isspam was already only 1/3 the length of your C code, and still faster

Propose something that Rust is bad at and I will show you it's better than C

@Tournai It depends on what you mean with productive. According to my boss this is a hell yes. But for me it's not. I have a huge stamina regarding programming writing everything in C. Imagine that I write python for a living. The performance and poductivity is HUGE. Thanks to C programming. Also, the networking / socket knowledge applies to python and I know how asyncio really works and why it has certain behavior. That knowledge is worth gold. Most web devs could not even write a http server. I can write one nginx grade out of my head. That's were i care about.

@Demolishun I presume being able to control emotions is something different than emotional intelligence.

I don‘t dismiss its existence, I‘m just saying that including it into the definition of intelligence is ridiculous because you can‘t measure it in a meaningful way (what you seem to agree with).

@Demolishun and it‘s funny how people who think that they have a lot of EQ, are also those who react so furious if someone rejects to give EQ the same treatment as "regular intelligence".
High EQ my ass!
