Its like money laundering, but for copyright

That sounds useful. Id like to find a good place that is for optimizing use of this shit (esp locally) while not going full “hey check out my slop project”, or people going “the ai are our gods / will cause an apocalypse”

I had one of those when I was making a nintendo ds game and trying to get animated sprites working. I got one working great. Then i added a 2nd, figuring itd be simple. Nope. Instant crash. So i removed the 2nd sprite. Crash. Wtf??? So i cleaned the project and built again and it worked. Until i added a 2nd one and had to remove it and clean it again.

Once i looked into the code(issue with ptrs), i had NO EARTHLY IDEA why the first sprite worked at all!

Yeah this does make me wonder: even now, models need to be constantly trained with new programming languages, libraries,etc. They can ingest new documentation during a session, but they often refuse to believe it. Ex: “the project uses .Net 10, but thats clearly a typo- the current version of .Net is 8”. So then if the bubble collapses and training budget drops, the models capability would suffer drastically

I think thats fairly reasonable. I have a personal project im working on- an sdl blend of DOS mode13h and the SNES retro engine. Ive used local models for specific issues- converting loaded images to closest palette matches, but for the most part its hand written. Im fairly happy with that middle ground. And im professionally frustrated by vibe coders that dont even check their output(not even code, they dont even check that the changed program works at all before submitting it).

I really liked the xindi arc(s3). Some people dont, but that and the last season were the best part. I have to go through s2, but minefield, first flight, and the communicator were good ones.

They said 50- i looked up strata, and it uses smaller quantizations/optimizations of that model depending on your system.

I have 48g vram and 192g system ram and get ~15t/s on qwen 3.8 flash next at Q4. Off the top of my head. I think Q6 is 12.

I think discovery was … okay. The first half of season 1 was kinda bad, especially them needlessly redoing the klingons. I liked the 3rd season bit of reuniting the fed a LOT. But following it up with another season of a end of the universe thing just felt like too much. I know thats kind of typical of series like that. But s4 seemed like a good point to go to more episodic stories.

I did really like enterprise tho. First season was really rough, but i thought it ended when it was getting really good.

And while its working you can hear whispers all over the ship: “what do you get if you multiply six by nine?”

I had a couple lan parties a while ago. That shit is so fun. Soldat was really popular.

Last year i had my cousins kids over for a tiny lan with them, me and my sis. We played UT99 for ages and they loved it.

Geordi: “create a scene where i have a successful date with a lady”

Computer: smokes

I think hes still big mad Xena was way more popular

GIMP is awful though. I havent seen the new ui yet, but the old one was unusably bad
