I mean, given that every search engine is pretty much fucking useless now I usually don’t even bother using them and to right to DeepSeek when I need knowledge.

And it truly is incredible to be able to ask questions, get answers, and then go back and forth with the model to get as deep as you need to go. There’s moments, when it works, when it feels like interacting with the computer on Star Trek.

Buts it’s wrong SO OFTEN. Which doesn’t bother me so much because I’m not a fucking idiot and can cross reference what I learn, test the answers, and find other sources.

You have to be a special kind of stupid to take it all literally and at face value.

But then again the bible is still widely read so I really think people underestimate just how fucking stupid people are.

I got really into so a few years back, partly as a hobby, partly to help me learn to code, partly out of the belief that knowing this could be good for a career transition.

About six months in the realization hit me that this isn’t one of those job creating inventions. It’s a job destroying invention.

I still tinker around with so a lot and even at its current development I think it’s a really, really fucking cool tool if you’re running a model locally and have control over it, but i honestly believe it will kill capitalism, and that it’s going to be bloody, bloody fight.

I mean I believe you but the nurse told me I wasn’t allowed to leave so.

This was like 6 years ago. Didn’t get any stitches. I thought I’d have a badass scar but it faded pretty quickly.

I once was visiting Detroit and got very drunk My airbnb. wasn’t far from the bar and I was way too loaded for a taxi to take me back, and it was a nice night so I decided to walk back to the airbnb I made it about 200 steps and felt something Hit me in the head. Someone was grabbing at my pocket and I guess I successfully stopped them from stealth by my wallet since it’s all ripped.

Anyway my head is split open and there’s blood fucking everywhere. I tried dialing 911on my phone. Not sure if you’ve ever tried making a call on a bloood covered phone when you can’t see because you’re blind drunk and your vision is obscured by blood but it’s impossible. Anyway, a couple of people see me and get me an ambulance.

Now, I’m from Canada, and I THINK that I had international health insurance from work but I’m not sure. Anyway, they deal with the blood and tell me I’ll need stitches in the emergency room but I’m still loaded and the bleeding stopped so I ask if I can just leave and they’re like: no.

I call my buddy who shows up to take me back to the airbnb but I tell him: I’m not getting stuck with a fucking American hospital bill. Fuck this. Just walk out and I’ll meet you out front. I wait until the nurse is out of eye sight, crouch low and run past the admissions desk and out into the street, where my friend calls a very kind cab driver who sold us some decent cocaine.

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. Seems a really relevant question for anyone looking to learn a low level programming language. I’d say it’s fairly in depth but I don’t know what I don’t know. I get, at a high level, how memory addresses work, understand what ram does, I get the concept of hyperthreading and have written a couple of python scripts that have used it for so applications…

I’ve fucked around with a lot of hex tables.

I took formal logic in uni and while I sucked st it I did learn a lot about the fundamental logic underlying it all

I mean, I literally learned python and bash by just kind of going for it, so this sounds good.

I have not. I’m about to start learning rust so this could be useful. Thanks!

I learned python and bash over about 6 months.

I’m not a phenomenal coder yet but it’s definitely doable. I didn’t take a class or read any books I just tried to code shit until eventually the anger and frustration lead to a moment where it kind of clicked and I was just like, writing line after line after line of code.

It was so weird. When I woke up that morning I felt like I’d never learn and then I could just kind of do it.

Haven’t seen season 2 yet That’s disappointing

It could absolutely be a dumpster fire but I trust a24 to not fuck it up. They have a great track record and I think the whole minimalist storytelling thing is right in their wheelhouse. Time will tell though.

We don’t, for the record.

The movie is so fucking dumb. I absolutely love the avatar movies in 3d at the theatre but there’s zero reason to ever watch it at home. The movie really exists as a way to hold together wildly ambitious visual art

So I am in no position to help you but I do have a very strange and hypothetical (ish) question:

How feasible would it be to hack a monitors firmware and use it to send and receive data, assuming that the data being sent is encoded on, say, the green color channel of said monitor and you had an sdr or some specially configured device set up somewhere to help make this very specific and bizarre idea work?

So. You’ll hear no argument from me on how banal the thing is. The setting, the plot, the characters. None of it does anything particularly engaging.

But holy fucking shit this movie and the one before it were breathtaking visual spectacles that I’ve not seen before or since.

The last of us was great too. Not a movie still. But .

I’m cautiously optimistic. The lack of a plot in the game leaves a lot of creative room for the film and the deep lore gives them a lot to work with. Also it’s Alex garland and a24 so like. I’m in.
