What do you think about it? On its face it seems like a straightforward improvement over C/C++ and a good way to modernize development in their typical niches.
On the other hand there is this really weird cultish behavior around it that just makes me feel suspicious. "Let's rewrite everything in Rust", forcing it into existing software without a clear use case other than just "it's better", overstating the language's capabilities and robustness, very much a kind of "toxic positivity" around it as in the whole Linux Kernel shitshow earlier this year, and the fact that it's being pushed by corpos and the US government. It all feels very weird.

Emojis and wingdings can be words (see: sitelen emoji). So both of you are dumb

>>31904
Even drawing is mechanically just a language, so that's most forms of communication.
>>31902
They wanted you to link to stuff to support your points so they can see where you're coming from, and to refrain from vibes based rhetoric. They were just being rude about it.

>>31901

idk if assembly qualifies as an entire language because all it really is is just a bunch of mnemonics for cpu instructions, like MOV or ADD or whatever; there's no complex linguistic structure its just a lookup table.

>>31903

lol

Machine Learning general. So anybody here actually do any ML programming? I just installed PyTorch yesterday and actually started training some shit. It was pretty easy to get working. But… I am a dumb dumb, so I am going to go back and learn all the basics I think, because I have delusions that maybe I'll be able to do something interesting with it, but I know unless I'm really knowledgeable about it, the probability is less than zero.

I know that thread about bitching about ML is the most popular thread on /tech/ but I thought we should have a separate thread for people actually programming it.

it's important to distinguish between non-commodified ML and its legitimate uses and LLMs and other crap the AItard corpos are trying to shove in all our holes

isn't traditional ML/NLP useless now that LLMS have been invented? other than cost why would anyone write a Support vector machine or something in AD 2025?

>>31805
in the sense that LLMs theoretically rely on NLP for language modelling, not really, i don't think, it's worth teaching at least. Is it going to be an employable field in the future? Probably no

>>31521
I just got a 3090 to use this crap and z-image, I may need to masturbate more to not think with my dick. Also I was scared the prices may go up quick next year, so i bought the card with the most vram available which didn't cost like 2000

it's kind of insane that you can do stuff like this on a 5 year old card with 8gb vram though with a chinese model, what kind of moat does google even have, it's already extremely comparable to nanobanana

Is it just me or does the deepseek update sucks balls. I can't get it to generate markdown files, something that it did with ease and was very good at.

>>31865
Isn't it's output markdown? It copied as markdown last time I used it. How'd they break that?

>>31867
I think it breaks the format when it starts inserting snippets for some reason

>>31865
I like the contents of output better but it doesn’t seem to format its answers correctly. Also it likes using massive amounts of tokens to repeatedly preform the same task for seemingly no reason.

>>31820
Basically all the AI are good enough for all use cases. If we aren’t seeing massive 10x boosts to productivity already we just aren’t going to see it.

I found this abandoned repository https://gitgud.io/parley/Haruko.
It's imageboard software that's not that old but still works. This is what it looked like: https://archive.is/qiLyz.
and I would like your help in updating it. It would be a project for “new” imageboard software made with PHP because, from what I've seen, there aren't many like this left, so I created this repository: https://github.com/bigdustycheese/AobaIB which I will update and you will also help me with.

>>Why should we help you with this? What do I get in return, OP?

It's simply a collaborative fork. If you want to help me, that's fine. No one is forcing you.

(If you see this on other imageboards, it's not spam.)

Absolute braindead take, bravo

socialism doesn't require things be centralized, and communication (including the internet) should be free and decentralized

I wanna buy some headphones to go outside i don't want to spend more than 100€ on them. I want them to be mostly durable and secondly to have good sound quality, also i don't want to look like a jackass while wearing them, any suggestions?

Why do several GiB downloads go faster over tor than just VPN? Is my VPN just that garbage?

>>31648
cute mouse

Is there some site with a bunch of html/css templates? No JS included.

Bonus points for simple, 90s-2000s looks. I don't want to use a generator but i don't want to start from scratch because it has been too long

So I'm still very happy with my t430 except for a major annoying thing which is the noise. I want to get a laptop with good gnu/linux support that's fairly quiet.

I was thinking about getting a refurbished x1 carbon, but i don't really know if that's a good idea, maybe I'm ready to pay a bit more for a decent machine but preferably cheap.

So should be quiet + good linux support + more powerfully then the t430.

Post quality RSS feeds for whatever. Blogs, news sites, even a YouTube channel RSS feed or other video content. As long as it has an RSS (or atom I guess) feed attached to it.

I'll go first and dump some of what I think are good ones:

>Grumpy Gamer
https://grumpygamer.com/rss
this one is rad, it's the personal blog of the lead developer behind The Secret of Monkey Island series (so basically my hero). He talks about a lot of cool random shit. Check it out.

>Niki Tonsky
https://tonsky.me/atom.xml
Another personal blog, I've only read a few articles but they have to do with UI mainly which I like.

>Cosmonaut Magazine
https://cosmonautmag.com/rss
Quintessential pretentious leftwing magazine. It's good, I like it. It's more insightful than I thought it would be and their articles even when I disagree with them (I usually don't) are always comfy reads.

Isn't having a unique set off RSS feeds like shining a searchlight from orbit on yourself every time you check it?

>>26067
Theoretically yes but that is not unique to RSS feeds.

>>26067
not if you torify your RSS reader
sadly this works less than stellar these days thanks to glowflare

non-western:

non-western but it's a thinktank so the Heritage Foundation or Peter Theil are behind it somehow, but maybe useful anyway:

<Computer networking is the practice of connecting two or more computing devices to enable data exchange and resource sharing, using either physical cables or wireless signals. Key components include end devices (like computers and printers), media (cables or radio waves), protocols (rules for communication), and networking devices (such as routers and switches). These networks range in size from small Local Area Networks (LANs) in homes to expansive Wide Area Networks (WANs) that span the globe, like the internet

Thread to discuss computer networking. I thought we could use one because networking has an unusually long shelf life for IT skills, unlike programming and even linux to an extent, networking hasn't changed (at least very much) because its basically the physics of IT.
