Welcome to zzz/tech/
Rules
0. All global rules apply: https://zzzchan.xyz/rules.html
1. /tech/ is a primarily SFW board. NSFW is only allowed if spoilered.
2. Keep the topics related to technology and computing.
3. When making a thread, put some effort into the OP. Low quality threads and template threads will be bumplocked. Some low quality threads that have already been bumplocked can be deleted if too much fills up the catalog.
4. For the QTDDTOT thread and the meta-thread, there can be only one unless the reply limit has been reached. If the previous thread is at the reply limit, anyone can recreate those threads. Thread quality rules do not apply to these threads.
5. Low quality shitposting will be met with DELetion or all files in the post being unlinked (frogposting, wojaks, >he doesn't use [insert thing here], Reddit logo spam, etc.). Otherwise, shitposting is allowed but try not to derail threads.

Posting recommendations
1. Try keeping most of your tech support questions, software recommendations, consumer advice, and other questions that don't deserve threads in the QTDDTOT thread. If there is a specific thread for your question, try asking there instead for a faster response.
2. Try not to ask questions that can be found on any search engines. You will most likely be told to search more and not receive an answer.

tmp note: Code formatting is now [code][/code]

maybe you can get a Motorola moto g 5G - 2024 and install lineageOS in it?
I expect many of you to partake in AI supported ERP with local modals, what do you use? 

I ran mradermacher/MN-Violet-Lotus-12B-GGU , if i don't turn the situation into rape very gradually it detects it and censors itself because fictional rape is literally hitler or something.

I have mastered ERP with a  computer enough that i can regularly generate non-con scenarios without issue but my porn addiction deepens soo i want better models that won't self-censor for this shit. 

please do not tell me to KMS i have a cat that would be sad if i died.

This nigger made a two hour long video explaining why C++ sucks, only to shill Rust while admitting that Rust has awful metaprogramming, no support for circular references, takes even longer to compile (right after bashing the compilation time of C++), only having a single compiler backend and sucks for prototyping and iterative development.
He should have shilled 'D' instead.

Okay there are some other gross errors in the video like telling people to use WebGPU over Vulkan because of claimed support by Apple when WebGPU is just a safety wrapper and even slower than MoltenVK. All his problems with MS Visual Studio seem quite irrelevant too.
At one point he talks about the problems of Qt but never mentions the most glaring one:
The Qt MOC compiler you have to use. If you're writing C++ with Qt, you're actually writing Qt++.

The Rust I Wanted Had No Future
>In a recent podcast about Rust leadership, the BDFL question came up again and Jeremy Soller said (in the understatement of the century) that "I believe Graydon would have said no to some things we all like now". And this echoes a different conversation on reddit where I was reminded that I meant to write down at some point how "I would have done it all differently" (and that this would probably have been extremely unsatisfying to everyone involved, and it never would have gone anywhere).
>Boy Howdy would I ever. This is maybe not clear enough, and it might make the question of whether the project "really should have had a BDFL" a little sharper to know this: the Rust We Got is many, many miles away from The Rust I Wanted. I mean, don't get me wrong: like the result. It's great. I'm thrilled to have a viable C++ alternative, especially one people are starting to consider a norm, a reasonable choice for day-to-day use. I use it and am very happy to use it in preference to C++. But!
>There are so, so many diferences from what I would have done, if I'd been "in charge" the whole time.

Game development isn't a process of autistically implementing a static specification, genius. Ever since the early days, gamedevs have prized any technique they could find to speed up iteration times and ideally test out ideas on the fly. Their tools tend to aim for immediate feedback whenever it's feasible within their engine and hardware limitations. The absolute abundance of in-game consoles, scripting languages, cheats, and debugging tools you find in vidya are a testament to this.

I'm not sure who you're trying to impress, but how you write is the splitting image of this obnoxious tranny I sometimes stumble across while searching niche languages on nitter to find examples of people using them. He inserts himself into any conversation on niche languages he can find, and thinks he's a super edgy contrarian for liking systemd. If anyone disagrees with him, he "ironically" threatens to molest and force feminize him. He's such an obvious sexual predator that it's telling language designers semi-tolerate him at all.

I currently have https://marginalia-search.com/ set as default. It isn't as good as old Google for finding the information I need but at least the results are much more varied and interesting. And actually fucking on-topic.

I've been toying with vibe-coding up some different really crappy locally-hosted-only websites to make offline versions of what I frequently visit online. The idea is that the entire internet is basically dead, full of bots, and doesn't let me find what I want anymore. So, if everything online is full of bots, I might as well go full Chobits mode and make my own local internet of bots to interact with.
The idea is dead simple. It all works by just using AI bots to generate content at the click of a button instead of waiting for other humans to post on a real website. So, the "offline zzzchan" I'll post there, and then when I want to "refresh the page", I'll click a buttons to generate more posts on all the boards. For the moment, I've two buttons. One is a "Simple" button, which creates really spammy obviously bot replies, but because it's using Markov chains/db calls/state references it's really cheap to generate. The other is a "dedicated" button that fully calls ollama to generate text.
The blog works pretty well also. And the Youtube replacement is in the works--at the moment, I just have it generating video transcripts/svg screenshots.
It's all relative. Like, yes, it's not great, but the idea is compared to what? The bot-generated Youtube replacement trash is at least better than the real Youtube. I also surprisingly (probably sadly) find the fake offline version of zzzchan a lot more fun to hang out in than the real one. At least so far.
Anyways, I figured I might

In general, it's been an interesting process, because what I learn from one project, I can immediately apply its improvements to the others.
I've finally been able to fit Gemma 4 12B model on my equipment, and it's like light and day.
It just occurred to me that I could take this entire project that doesn't need any internet access, including the model weights, and bundle it into one SD card.
I think this is interesting because it kind of puts all the people calling to regulate AI on blast. Good luck regulating something I can put in my coin bag or stuffed into the sole of my sneaker.
I've absolutely terrible timing given the market collapse going on rn, but I updated my rig just recently from an old Quadro M4000 to something w/16GB of VRAM so I can run the abliterated HuiHui model. The characters' dialogs have drastically improved pretty much overnight, and I've just been dicking around with various models. I'm thinking of making the character models try a low quantization Hemmingway-1 model instead. I'm also not very familiar w/which models I now have available to me for asset generation now.
The offline assistant is where I'm trying to focus rn now, since I realize the rig has the very real possibility of significantly accelerated bootstrapping now.

The current excuse going around is that he wasn't complaining about the 8-32GB of GDDR used by John Q. Gamer to play vidya and maybe run local models, but in context the complaint was about his own smallest competitors running a few TB of HBM for private local instances of open weight models so they don't have to leak their proprietary data and/or pay for tokens. Even that is a pretty absurd complaint, since most of those are physically located in the same AWS/Azure cloud he's using, not on colo rackspace, let alone in some closet at their own offices. And, of course, such server farms when they do exist are certainly capable of renting out access to their hardware if they do have significant idle hardware. 

Much as with supposed "safety" and "alignment" "concerns" recently, this reeks of monopolist behavior more than anything.
Well this is fucking dumb.

I think this is big enough deal to merit pulling it out of the 'news' page into its own thread. If you don't know what's going on, a bunch of states have pulled a fast one on us and are trying to/have passed age verification laws in various states in the U.S. on the operating system level.

- I made my own page to try to keep track on what you can do. Please think about sharing it (or something): https://websitereview.neocities.org/ageverification
- Reclaim the Net has a campaign trying to counter it https://reclaimthenet.org/age-verification
