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

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

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.)

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

<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.

This might not sound that impressive, but i've just managed to get program-agnostic rio-style window creation working flawlessly in FVWM. Previously it was a flickery, unreliable mess of xdotool commands, but now it's spawning every window iconified, hooking into the window creation event to set geometry from my rectangle selection program and deiconifying it to its correct position.

If you could keep track of all terminals and from which one a particular program is spawned, you might be able to reach true rio emulation closer than even the plan9port version.

Desktop and window management general, i guess.

Update: I got multi-key commands working in fvwm, with
FvwmMap RootMap $[FVWM_USERDIR]/root.map
Key Space A 4 RootMap

Now i can restart fvwm with a simple s-Space C-x C-r. It calls the following awk script:
#!/usr/bin/awk -f
BEGIN {
	FS = " "
	senter = ""
	sexit = ""
	name = ARGV[1]
	ARGV[1] = ""
	lines = 0
}
/^#/ {
	next
}
{
	senter = senter "+ I Key " $1 " A " $2 " WithExit" name
	for (i=3; i<=NF; i++)
		senter = senter " " $i
	senter = senter "\n"
	sexit = sexit "+ I Key " $1 " A " $2 " -\n"
}
END {
	print "DestroyFunc Exit" name
	print "AddToFunc Exit" name
	print sexit

	print "DestroyFunc " name
	print "AddToFunc " name
	print senter

	print "DestroyFunc WithExit" name
	print "AddToFunc WithExit" name
	print "+ I Exit" name
	print "+ I $*"
}

The top-level command map looks currently like this:
K N Close
P N Stick
T N Exec xterm
X N Exec dmenu | rc
Tab N Next (!Focused, CurrentGlobalPage) FocusWindow
Return N term
B C Direction W (CurrentScreen, CurrentGlobalPage) FocusWindow
F C Direction E (CurrentScreen, CurrentGlobalPage) FocusWindow
G C EscapeFunc
N C Direction N (CurrentScreen, CurrentGlobalPage) FocusWindow
P C Direction S (CurrentScreen, CurrentGlobalPage) FocusWindow
X C ExtendedMap
B M Direction W (!CurrentScreen, CurrentGlobalPage) FocusWindow
F M Direction E (!CurrentScreen, CurrentGlobalPage) FocusWindow
G M GotoMap
N M Direction N (!CurrentScreen, CurrentGlobalPage) FocusWindow
P M Direction S (!CurrentScreen, CurrentGlobalPage) FocusWindow

>>31661
>X N Exec dmenu | rc
To avoid confusion, this is my private dmenu fork, which doesn't do menus or suggestions. I reduced it to a simple prompt.

>>31661
after reading OP again, I didn't notice back then, but I don't think you should be using fvwm or xdotool at all. a barebones x11 wm is like 300 lines of c, and you could implement one with these features in, I would say, 500 lines if you don't care about compatibility and only need it to work on your machine. the wm I used for a long time was 500 lines of zig

because to me it looks more like you are wrestling with fvwm than with the complexity of the task itself. the way to do this with barebones x would be to create windows out of the screen and only move them in when the user does the rectangle gesture

>>31664
No, you see i use a lot of FVWM featureset, like sloppy focus, cascading window placement, the anti-aliased menus and the virtual desktop stuff, which were implemented over a span of decades by a lot of smart people. Besides OP marked the point i managed to recreate the "rectangle gesture" in terms of FVWM primitives, so there are no more xdotool kludges. Maybe sometime i will publish the config and all of the helper programs as their own fvwm-based desktop. For now i will look into adding window groups 0-9 in a way the Next command understands.

I just finished writing a few functions, which can serialize and restore the position of any currently open windows and happened to find this in the manual:
<State state [bool]
>Sets, clears or toggles one of the 32 user defined states which are associated with each window. The state is a number ranging from 0 to 31. The states have no meaning in fvwm, but they can be checked in conditional commands like Next with the State condition.
Good enough for window groups, though i'm unsure how to reconcile window group inheritance with the non-exclusive nature of this attribute. Maybe i could filter using a set of states for a whopping 2^32 window groups.

Why isn't it widely adopted yet? It's much better than AVIF since it's actually designed for still images, and Apple supports it natively on Safari and Photos. What's Google's endgame by killing work on support for it in Chrome?

Jpeg-xl is coming to chrome, somehow. Guess they figured webp was a lost cause.

>>31775
What's actually wrong with webp?

>>31776
In some places it might not be supported. Other than that, nothing.

>>31783
It just doesn't perform well compared to the formats it sought to replace, and has had several zero-day vulnerabilities, while being pushed by several companies that were overly enthusiastic about (tumblr, anything google, reddit, etc…) which made it seem very top down.

>>31788
I doubt its because of AVIF since it is very rarely used (due to its poor performance compared to most jpg implementations), I think I have only encountered one this year, or maybe the previos year?

>The idea is to use a patched build of chromium for the mpp. [^1]
Hardware accelerated encode is a (non-ARM) ChromeOS, Windows, or Mac OS exclusive.
Was looking into "brunch" as a way around this, maybe with crostini.
And meanwhile learned that ChromeOS is being replaced by Android…

The cleanest solution found was to use the ChromeOS kernel in Gentoo.
Use this Gentoo box to host LXC containers running the ChromeOS ROOT-A.

After all this it's possible that hardware acceleration still wouldn't work with the tutoring platform.
This is because of "negotiations" on the WebRTC encoding.
But probably it would work…

>So, i tried installing CachyOS today. Live CD looked like a standard "Arch for lazy and/or stupid people" kind of thing
I recommend EndeavourOS for that use-case. But I suggest that you just install Xubuntu or Linux Mint and use distrobox to get programs from the AUR (and other distros). Arch Linux requires that you read the wiki a lot and that you know the basics of terminal and bash. This is why I can't recommend Arch for newbies or lazy people.

>>31498
I installed cachyOS on a chinese handheld gaming computer (gpd win 4) and it's pretty good. the latest version of bazzite didnt even want to boot anymore. i didnt check if it had man or not, i just open the terminal to update once every week or so, cachyOS has been fairly unobtrusive despite it being a rolling release distro, which is good enough for something that is going to be showing steam in handheld mode like literally 99% of running time.

Is there any cheap, quiet notebook/Chromebook that tuns Linux? I just want something that has a browser and terminal/Emacs. It being quiet is one of the most important factors as it would be to use while the wife is sleeping next to me.

can someone help me? i was trying to install ddcci-dkms so i could control the brightness of my monitor but now when i boot my monitor shows "no signal". i think the gpu is fine since it spins and shit. tried accessing my user and removing the packing and reconfiguring but the keyboard doesnt seem to work (numlock led doest lit up), i have tried all usb ports and a second keyboard and none worked. any ideas of what should i try?
