Cheers /g/entoos,

I am a /sp/ tourist and I am once again asking for your technical support.
I want to provide quality .WEBMs for anons on /sp/. To do that I record the stream with OBS in .MKV format and convert it to .WEBM with pic related settings with Handbrake software.
How do I reach optimal quality/size ratio with Handbrake/OBS settings?
The current ones I picked pretty much randomly.
>>
HandBrake is a wrapper for FFmpeg, and most /g/entooman just use FFmpeg directly.
We have a general for this, "mpv ffmpeg yt-dlp": >>100487995

Is there a GPT available that I can give access to my messages and phone calls on my phone and it will just respond to people for me? This seems like the most obvious use case of AI for me but I can't find a single one.

>nobody ever notices because AI keeps responding to all your texts
I'd wanted to see if I could do this myself after tuning a model on some of my conversations, but then jewgle deleted a decade of my conversations.
>>
>>100566254
The way I see it the problem is two-fold:

1. The AI model has to "know" me and be trained on me.

2. The AI model has to have permissions and be connected to my messages and phone call apps.

Need to do more research to understand how to solve either of these problems.
>>
>>100565664
Even if you fine tune or have a rag system, it will make you seem like a bitch since it will probably answer it pretty short messages in situations where you should have answered longer.

What older standards? Ubiquitous M.2 or SO-DIMM? You'll have LPCAMM for next gen.
Lightning failed because it required authentication chips, licenses from Apple, and royalties. If it was an "open" (USB-IF membership is $5000/year - peanuts) standard like USB-C then maybe it would've succeeded.

I bought a wifi adapter named TPLINK AC600. Searched for the corresponding driver and found one from aircrack-ng named rtl8812au. Installed it but when i list the connections it shows no networks and it doesnt show even on nmtui. What could it be? Im using ubuntu 24.04. When I use lsusb it lists my wifi adapter so is connected.

What's most important is not backing up, it's verifying that you can actually restore the data.
Also de duplication, rsync does not have that.

Ryzen 7600 PIB 215$ vs 250$ 7700 tray processor, retail prices, worth it? I noticed builds and recommendations rarely use anything but 7600 and 7800x3D for AMD, even though the 7700 seems like a solid intermediate option.

/meg/ is an earlier phenomenon. I think pro-Ukrainian propaganda is due to a mentally ill vocal minority of /k/tards (look for "armatard" in the archives) and a sudden influx of redditors. Traffic on /k/ pretty much doubled when the war started. But I guess you're right, even if all the Ukraine shilling was truly organic, there's no explanation for the levels of bias exhibited by /k/ mods and jannies.

>Kilo prefix literally means 1000 not 1024 retarded gorilla nigger

One bit is a 0 or 1.

One byte is a string of exactly 8-bits, commonly referred to in programming as "char" and is the smallest representation of data.

A kilobyte is one-thousand bytes, however in the maximum number that 8-bits can represent is 256, and four times 256 is 1,024.

What does that mean? It means you can call it 1,000 bytes but in a digital representation it will still use 1,024 bytes due to 8-bit addressing being the limitation. The next smallest number you could get is 256 * 3 + 128 which is 896.

When talking about storage devices, I agree that the capacities should be stated in actual usable space, not 1 KB = 1,000 bytes WHEN IN REALITY each 1,000 bytes of data will still occupy 1,024 bytes of space. Of course, the reality is that a given file will occupy data equal to the allocation unit of the drive. Today, that's 4KB or 4,096 bytes as the minimum size that a file saved to disk can be. Zip data without compression, just by putting many files into one can save a lot of space just by freeing up allocation units.
>>
>>100565389
>byte isn't defined to be 8 bits either

It's literally the definition of byte. Just about all computers limit minimum addressable data units to be 1 char which equals 8-bits, or one byte.
>>
>>100566028
wtf are you talking about
>The IDE standard included 22-bit LBA as an option, which was further extended to 28-bit with the release of ATA-1 (1994) and to 48-bit with the release of ATA-6 (2003), whereas the size of entries in on-disk and in-memory data structures holding the address is typically 32 or 64 bits. Most hard disk drives released after 1996 implement logical block addressing.

>>100563756
Notice the word "readable". Most lisps have associative data structures, but they are almost never as easy to use as alists. The fact that everyone opts to use alists over hash tables is a sign that the design of hash tables is massively deficient. In a sane language (Clojure, Python, etc.) no one would bother with alists.

>>100566046
Surely it is a social problem. If everyone decided to write a few macros for making hash tables workable then stopped using alists, the problem would be solved quickly without a technical change, just a social one.
