@FlowState89 i dont read textbooks that often unless its really important so i get where ur coming from. i prolly wouldve just rawdogged the slides and just some projs then called it a day for my finals
@FlowState89 was that taught in graphics? im considering taking a graphics class purely for fun next year, itll prolly be overload but it seems like the only fun class along with operating systems which is mandatory
@FlowState89 frontend is so complicated wdym! jokes aside so true but im not sad abt it, it just means i have way lesser competition for embedded or systems roles
thats so unfortunate but theyre the coolest part abt graphics. tbh idk much abt em either cus im not really a graphics guy but ive worked with cuda kernels a lot and im told shaders are pretty much the same. its just a function, an instruction that can be issued to multiple threads to execute in parallel, cuda is more for general compute and shaders are for graphics rendering
@Galaxriel i like to think that my sense of "awareness" and ego is a result of very sophisticated biological machinery. like what are the odds of "me" with my exact ego existing its crazy, i think its pretty cool that i can exist but too unfortunate that i cant exist forever
im a llm hermit but i tried to code something with gemini for fun, it just built this on top of my shitty C code with raylib actually shook rn
it initially ended in a segmentation fault then it fixed itself. still pretty cool that we can do something like this for tedious work but it doesnt mean ill be reading the llm C slop and fixing all the problems in it i got better things to do
@toykastle its been abt 6-7 months on and off working on the same main proj, i worked on some hobby projects in the middle but they were all dropped after a decent point
working on a lotta random things to build knowledge, the only thing ive worked on consistently is a pytorch ish clone ml framework thingy, i did it in python first then realized i wanted to make it fast. so i got into cuda but that was hard, to build sufficient optimization skills in cuda i started more random projs, been on tangents ever since 💔
@1polarize @secemp9@HSVSphere this is true for most things in life unless ur mentally disabled. ofc theres a degree of luck and nepotism involved in most things but just being dumb enough to try really hard in things is good imo, but this is a diff metric from iq i have no idea if theyre proportional
