How to find the standard term for a concept/idea? - Lemmy.World
I feel like every time I try to give a rough description of some idea or concept
to a search engine, the results are seldom anything more than
useless/misleading. But then, when I find out there’s a technical or standard
term for whatever concept I’m trying to convey, using that term drastically
improves the search results (even if in the end I don’t get the answer I need).
Since this is a struggle that I face pretty often, I will many times just give
up on raw searching and end up describing the exact thing to some LLM, even the
AI assist of whatever search engine I am using. On the other hand, I think it’s
fair to say that search engines have just gotten worse over time as the internet
gets flooded with useless/AI-generated/low effort algorithm-bait websites, so
most successful searches I do usually end up with the “reddit” suffix, or maybe
a look through wikipedia, or maybe some other forum. But back to the core issue,
how do I go from something like “tracking bounding box followed by the camera
computer graphics” to “camera deadzone”?, or “orelse-like operator in
typescript” to “nullish coalescing operator”? and plenty of examples like these.
I know the usual is to rephrase the search, look for synonyms, make the search
more targeted, etc. But is there any website/search engine that makes it easier
to find standard terms from descriptions? I feel like a full-blown LLM is just
overkill for this purpose.
Don’t think so, as I said, windows is working fine. I did a diagnosis in legacy boot options menu, says memory and hdd are doing fine. I’m confident to say this is an issue with my linux installation
I mean, I haven’t tried but its a 60hz monitor and the only other option is 40hz, if it works I wouldn’t stick to that option since for games I’d like at least the 60hz.
I’ll try that when I have the laptop at my disposal tho
Screen "blinks" irregularly after Linux Mint 22.2 log in

Screen "blinks" irregularly after Linux Mint 22.2 log in - Lemmy.World
Problem description: Screen will turn black for an instant (around 50 ms?) and
go back to normal, black screens will mostly (but not always) be accompanied by
a horizontal gray strip. Blinking happens fairly often from desktop view, it
happens a little less when loading basic websites like forums from Firefox, but
it gets borderline unusable when displaying a video, I only tested this on
reddit though. I installed Linux Mint “Zara” 22.2 Cinnamon edition for a 2015 HP
ProBook laptop (can’t recall the specific model rn), it’s set up for
dual-booting along with Windows 10 in legacy MBR mode (no EFI). Since it’s a
laptop it has an integrated Intel HD Graphics (520?) GPU. The problem’s been
present since I first booted up the live session from the USB, I thought after
installing it would go away since maybe the live session is less stable or
something. Windows works perfectly fine in regards to this though, so I know
it’s not a hardware problem. Across the forums, for people with similar issues
(I haven’t found one that describes mine exactly) the solution is usually “Find
the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT='quiet splash' and change it
to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT='quiet splash intel_iommu=igfx_off
i915.enable_dc=0 i915.enable_psr=0 intel_idle.max_cstate=2'."”. I have tried
with each of this parameters at least once, rebooting each and none of them
completely solving the issue. my current setting is probably the one described
there except that it may not include i915.enable_psr=0. And yes, each time I
modified the file through sudo nano /etc/default/grub, saved it, and sudo
update-grub-ed, which never reported syntax errors so at least that should be
fine. My screen resolution is 1366x768, if that helps in any way.
How does HTML actually run on a computer?

How does HTML actually run on a computer? - Lemmy.World
Let’s leave the networking aspect aside for a moment. When a language is
compiled, the source files go through a pipeline of parser -> preprocessor ->
compiler -> assembler -> linker, to end up with an executable. With interpreted
languages, the source code is instantly executed line by line by an interpreter
software. With JIT languages, the program gets compiled and optimized into
portable bytecode, which is run by the language’s runtime. If I had to guess,
web pages (i.e. HTML/CSS/JS) are most likely run by an interpreter that is a web
browser, but isn’t that inefficient given that most of what people do on
computers is browsing the web? What about browsers, what standard is there that
specifies how each language should be run/rendered? What pipeline does a webpage
go through to end up as a process in a computer?
Is there any actual standalone AI software?

Is there any actual standalone AI software? - Lemmy.World
Is there any computer program with AI capabilities (the generative ones seen in
ChatGPT; onlineText-to-Picture generators, etc.) that is actually standalone?
i.e. able to run in a fully offline environment. As far as I understand, the
most popular AI technology rn consists of a bunch of matrix algebra,
convolutions and parallel processing of many low-precision floating-point
numbers, which works because statistics and absurdly huge datasets. So if any
such program existed, how would it even have a reasonable storage size if it
needs the dataset?
I hate that I understood this
Do it slowly and don’t be consistent, sometimes I select the tile with 3 pixels of the thing its supposed to contain, sometimes I leave 2 or 3 tiles that clearly contain the thing, sometimes I just select a tile that doesn’t even match. Idk, it always works, I suppose the erratic behavior is what shows them I’m human or smth
Forgive my ignorance, but what is a union supposed to mean/represent in this context? What benefit may the employees get from unionizing? Has this actually ever worked before?
Partially agree, because if purchasing == owning (which it should), then piracy is still != stealing
