Yet another package manager…

apt for life !

In the early 2ks, computer were ugly grey box with noisy fan and a hard drive that gave the impression a cockroach colony were trying to escape your case. I wanted to build a silent computer to watch Divx movies from my bed, but as a broke teen, I just had access to disposed hardwares I could find there and there.

I dismantled a power supply, stuck mosfets to big mother fucking dissipator, and I had a silent power supply. I put another huge industrial dissipator on CPU (think it was an AMD k6 500Mhz) and had fanless cooling. Remained the hard drive.

Live CD/USB weren’t common at that time. I’ve discovered a live CD distrib (I think it was Knoppix) that could run entirely from RAM.

I removed hard drive, boot on live distrib, then replace CD by my Divx and voila.

Having a fanless-harddriveless computer was pure science fiction for me and my friends at that time.

Meshroom is FOSS, relatively easy to use and works out of the box. It is industrial quality and is widely used in cinema and untertainment industry. So, I think it’s the go to if you want something robust and usable.

NVidia provide several reasearch software to do Radiance Field stuff on their github: https://github.com/NVlabs. They gives impressive results, but none of them is user friendly. It’s reasearch stuff.

Dunning-Kruger effect.

Lots of people now think they can be developpers because they did a shitty half working game using vibe coding.

Would you trust a surgeon that rely on ChatGPT ? So why sould you trust LLM to develop programs ? You know that airplane, nuclear power plants, and a LOT of critical infrastructure rely on programs, right ?

neovim, because it’s much nicer and user friendly than vim.

The point of self hosting is not to engage people going in your server. The point of self hosting is to have control over your infrastructure. It’s like renting or buying a home.

When you buy a home, you don’t complain that no one wants to sleep in your home 😆

It’s a bit strange. On one side you talk about a project you work on, so I expect a repo on github or something, on the other side the link you post redirect to a product or a service you seems to sell.

It’s cool if you can make money with it, but to be more effective you might have to clarify your point.

I don’t even understand what that guy is trying to sell. Is it some kind of picture of a monkey ?

auto v = std::vector<bool>(8);
bool* vPtr = v.data;
vPtr[2] = true;
// KABOOM !!!

I’ve spent days tracking this bug… That’s how I learned about bool specialisation of std::vector.

Peasant…

Poor internet connection/no internet at all, network latency too high for their needs, specific fine tuned LLM ?

Off course, main reason is privacy. My company host its own GPT4 chatbot, and forbid us to use public ones. But I suppose there are other legit use case to host its own LLM.

Maybe worth to mention that bitwarden also propose bitwarden.eu to host data in Europe. I’ve used bitwarden.com for years, and switch to bitwarden.eu a few month ago because of reasons, you know…

I comment because this is how a social network works, and this is how you keep lemmy alive. My comment has generated a dozen of other comments, so he achieved his goal.

There is not a single question that’s already have been answered on internet, so there no point on asking anything on social plateforms except just for the sake of interacting with other peoples.

Lemmy is not stackoverflow 😉

Don’t know how list are implemented in Python. But in the dumb linked list implementation (like C++ std::list), each element has a “next” member that point the the next element. So, to have list length, you have to do (pseudo code, not actual python code):

len = 0
elt = list.fisrt
while exist(elt):
    elt = elt.next
    len++
return len

Whereas to test if list is empty, you just have to:

return exist(list.first)

Isn’t it because list is linked list, so to get the Len it has to iterate over the whole list whereas to get emptyness it just have to check if there is a 1st element ?

I’ too lazy to read the article BTW.

SimCity 2000 microwave powerplant ?

Back in my days I use to record them on VHS and watch them again when there was nothing interesting on TV (that is, 90% of the time). I finished knowing by heart any single lines if dialogs. Yeah, I was that weirdo creep at school.

Except for “Les cigares du pharaon”, where I didn’t record the good channel 😟. I passed my whole childhood with that hole in the story.

Brave.

Because I installed it when it was pre-alpha version. Ended up to an ugly window with just an addresse bar. I though “this shit will never worked, yet another utopistic project, too bad…”

Then, came back 2 years later, gave him a 2nd chance and “OMG ! They fucking did it !”. So I keep it as a redemption for not having believed in the project at first.
