  • Okay so imagine for a second that somebody just invented voice to text and everyone trying to sell it to you lies about it and claims it can read your thoughts and nobody will ever type things manually ever again.

    The people trying to sell us LLMs lie about how they work and what they actually do. They generate text that looks like a human wrote it. That’s all they do. There’s some interesting attributes of this behavior, namely that when prompted with text that’s a question the LLM will usually end up generating text that ends up being an answer. The LLM doesn’t understand any part of this process any better than your phones autocorrect, it’s just really good at generating text that looks like stuff it’s seen in training. Depending on what exactly you want this thing to do it can be extremely useful or a complete scam. Take for example code generation. By and large they can generate code mostly okay, I’d say they tend to be slightly worse than a competent human. Genuinely really impressive for what it is, but it’s not revolutionary. Basically the only actual use cases for this tech so far has been glorified autocomplete. It’s kind of like NFTs or Crypto at large, there is actual utility there but nobody who’s trying to sell the idea to you is actually involved or cares about that part, they just want to trick you into becoming their new money printer.


  • Douno off the top of my head. To take a wild guess they might just wrap a file handle and give it s nice api? If that’s what they do then moving from the file zeros out he handle for basically the same reason smart pointers set their internal pointer to nullptr, so they don’t delete it (or close the file in this case) underneath the new object.


  • Depends on the object what happens when they are moved from. Some objects are put into a valid moved from state (usually depends on if doing so is free or required anyway. For example to satisfy the invariant of the moved to unique pointer the moved from pointer needs to be set to nullptr in order to prevent the moved tos unique pointer being deleted from underneath it)



  • Hmmmmmmmm

    Half way through the first chapter and it hasn’t hooked me yet but I am still… intrigued.

    Okay so chapter two down and I think I’m noticing a pattern in who is bothering to translate this Manga so far. Both chapters were done by totally different people and neither was super high quality (though not terrible). Wonder if pattern persists since there’s 50 chapters at least where I’m sourcing it from.

    Lol this dudes a trooper they learned not just English but also Japanese competently enough to translate it well enough. Hats off to you Chekov

    Chapter 6

    Damn she snowballed him lmao

    I’m not sure why exactly but the fact they are going to research more “lewd sounds” is incredibly funny to me

    Alright so chapter 8 kind of hooked me, been about half an hour of time investment so far including updating this here comment so if anyone else is also curious there ya go.



  • It hasn’t though? That short “film” in the thumbnail is very not great. Just to summarize a few issues clothing items randomly change colors, clothes randomly switch to different clothes, they attempted to copy the really nice crane shot in Frieren but used “AI” to do it which just smeared ugly green shit around the screen cause there were leaves, a path they are walking on randomly changes material multiple times, ect ect. All the usual AI video crap. They didn’t solve any of the issues it has and it there’s one “animator” credited.

    Spoilers if you care (no I’m not going to actually mark them) but there’s a part where using AI would have been a really good directing decision, especially with the faults but because the “director” is just a tech bro who’s incapable of understanding art they completely missed an extremely good use case.

    Actual animation studios don’t and won’t use this crap until it’s dramatically better. The closest thing they currently use is cacani (actually an interesting tool scroll through that) and it uses absolutely no “Ai” whatsoever


  • I genuinely don’t know why people are confused about the Demons in frieren. They are fundamentally incompatible with humanity. There is no Grey zone. They are monsters, not your happy friendly fantasy where some monsters are good monster monsters. The only connections they are capable of understanding is strength. The only language they truly understand is power. They learned the human tongue not to communicate but to manipulate. The anime and the Manga make it exceptionally clear, the Demons in Frieren are just monsters. There is no redemption. Just like how you can’t genocide a lion, or a mosquito you cannot genocide the demons in frieren.

    No you can’t? Do you even know what the steam deck is? It’s a hand held gaming device, like the Nintendo Switch. Adding a computer monitor to the steam decks price tag is nonsensical. Like the Switch you’d be using a TV if your hooking it into something. A wireless controller? Why? It’s a steam deck it has a controller built in. Joystick grips? The fact you think those are needed goes to show how shit the standard console controllers are lmao.




  • I find it unfair to blame my peers for things largly out of their control. If you are born into an abusive family you’ll only ever know if you happen to luck into the information that such behavior is unhealthy. Is it some of their faults? Certainly, I know people who are willfully stupid and refuse to learn but even knowing these people I feel pretty uncomfortable blaming them for it. I’ve talked to them, I’ve educated them on stuff they were willfully ignorant of and do you know what it generally boils down to? School has taught them that learning things is hard and a waste of their time. They’d rather waste hours trying to get an LLM to generate a script for them than sit down and figure out how to do it despite knowing I’d happily help them.

    School has managed to taint “learning” in the minds of many of my peers to such an extent that it should be avoided at any cost. School has failed us, is still failing the current generation and nothing is going to be done about it because it’s working as it’s meant to. This is the intended outcome. Like genuinely the scale of the fuckup is to the extent that enjoying reading is not just rare but seen as weird. We’ve managed to take one of the best ways to educate yourself and instill dread in our children when it’s brought up. How do we expect people who’ve been taught to hate reading to just magically turn around and unfuck themselves? What’d they see a really motivating Tik Tok or some shit? I despise that platform but like seriously you older people just don’t it man. Been complaing since middle school and now people wanna turn around and blame us as if it’s some personal failing it’s fucked up dude. Our education sucks, has sucked and will continue to suck even worse until we stop pretending like this is some kind of personal failing.


  • The main point here (which I think is valid despite my status as a not in this group Gen Z) is that we’re still like really young? I’m 20 dude, it’s just not my or my friends fault that school failed us. The fact it failed us was by design and despite my own and others complaints it’s continued to fail the next generation and alpha is already, very clearly struggling. I really just don’t think there’s much ground to argue about how Gen Z by and large should somehow know better. The whole point of the public education system is to ensure we well educate our children, it’s simply not my or any child’s fault that school is failing to do so. Now that I’m an adult I can, and I do push for improved education but clearly people like me don’t have our priorities straight seeing who got elected…


  • What ramdon ass language could they possibly be pulling out of their ass for you to he completely unable to write a for loop? I’ve yet to see a for loop, or really any sort of loop that doesn’t look pretty much exactly like the standard C style for loop

    for(int x = 0; x < z; x++) {
    }
    

    If you have a C style language with iterator for loops like C++, Java and friends you almost certainly have this syntax

    for(int x : numbers) {
    }
    

    Python has exclusively iterator for loops with this syntax

    for x in range(z)
    

    The only real difference is that instead of a colon : you use the in token.

    At best I can see the need for a quick refresh on what the exact syntax is but if your a senior any languages you actually use should have a template for junk like this. I don’t think I’ve manually written a loop in ages, I just type out iter for an iterator for loop or when I rarely need an index fori and the rest gets stamped out for me.

    If your being tested on random languages you can simply just not be familiar with a language. I haven’t touched Zig once but I’d totally be down to learn it. Everybody whos got a couple languages under their belt knows how easy it is to pick up new ones.


  • Actual new battery tech? I didn’t see the capacity listed/compared to a normal lith-ion of the same volume but it does say they have some issues with voltage. I’m not sure how annoying that actually is (not super good with electricity) but this looks rather promising. Might see smart watches and similar devices without any flat hard surfaces using these combined with flexable screen tech. Course like always this stuff is extremely reliant on the capacity being workable, if it’s too much less than the equivalent in lith-ion it’s just not going to get used.
