hi if you see this post my ssh tunnel into a vps in afghanistan worked! now i can finally start using alpine on my box

[svn @svnholup]

@nsg650 it looks like you're getting the substring before the last backslash... but i looked up _mm_pause, what does that accomplish here?

[svn @svnholup]

sigh. another soldier down.. people will just shill anything man 😭

[LaurieWired @lauriewired]

you’ll get mad at me for saying this…but cloud gaming is so obviously more economically efficient than physical hardware I think it’s going to be the default soon.

your home console / pc is idle 90%+ of the day. meanwhile, data centers targets what, 5%, maybe at worst 10% idle.

every second a cloud gamer isn’t gaming, that hardware is being used for someone else, training, etc.

I think there should be a new measurement, something like cost-per effective FLOP hour that takes into account the TCO + effective utilization.

If a gamer spends $500 on a GPU, uses it for 3 years, but it’s only fully active ~5% of that period…the cost-per relative FLOP hour is crazy high! Meanwhile, a $50,000 datacenter GPU might have a *LOWER* cost-per FLOP hour just because the effective utilization is 90+%.

@lauriewired you're comparing cloud compute to a laptop with an iGPU? have you considered it's idle because nobody's running anything on it? or are you implying that WHILE running a game the hardware is idle? do you people automatically lose integrity after joining big corpo?

@telegram sneaking in fun during work hours... HR thought it was impossible

[svn @svnholup]

@zuhaitz_dev i feel that pain.. i have a dell crap box and it's been telling me to pull the plug but it's not like you have a choice in these situations

[svn @svnholup]

@vxunderground wait till you find out the indian government banned telegram because people often share leaked exam papers on it. it's almost sad atp

[svn @svnholup]

i spent all of exam season trying to pull an alacritty to write a gpu renderer for my terminal emulator only to realize rendering isn't even 1% of the bottleneck 😭

[svn @svnholup]

@vxunderground interject got me dyin 😭😭😭😭

[svn @svnholup]

@yutongwu111140 what are you building?

[svn @svnholup]

@AliceInDisarray something something watchlist sounds better but im just looking for the content tbh xd

[svn @svnholup]

@Sentdex they also added `clear` :>

[svn @svnholup]

@notafbihoneypot all that aside, it's all corporate shilling. whatever pays, these youtubers run to it. i still remember the honey scam.

[svn @svnholup]

@zuhaitz_dev "unpaid intern" is basically the same thing

[svn @svnholup]

@CanadaHonk fascinating!! is this implementation similar to go coroutines (iirc shared heap+gc and a pool of kernel-space threads running thousands of tasks)? or is that a secret for now c:

[svn @svnholup]

@thdxr probably because a lot of programming is repetitive pattern matching. if you can understand and frame your problem well, it's not hard for an llm to convert that from your language to a programming language.

complete opposite for (genuine) creative work.

[svn @svnholup]

@5mukx that isn't even the worst part. the worst part is when your colleagues bootlick big corpos as if they're misunderstood or something. so it's a lot harder fighting the collab of the corp and such ignorant people.

[svn @svnholup]

people making a big deal out of the "next big breakthrough in agi" which is actually just a bunch of losers trying to ipo and make a bag. natural selection perhaps.

[svn @svnholup]

@militarymindfuc the guardrail is just mood-based tbh

[svn @svnholup]

@vxunderground just 1 more ipo bro trust me, we'll get agi soon bro
