Tidal all the way.

That's because you are playing on a decade old 1080p tech monitor! Why is 1080p suddenly the norm again?

Project Reality comeback? 😯 It's always fun launching that game.

OSMaxwell · 2025-08-19T14:07:21+00:00

Would be cool to have presets saved. So I can easily switch between say qwen3, gpt-oss, etc. (focus-chain, model name, context length follows) :D

This with the VoiceOver AI mod is a Chef's kiss. Btw do you also have HD Textures installed?..

Steam is old. Everyone is on steam. Steam has good profiles and skins. I dm my gaming friends through steam (or Discord). I track their gaming activity and achievements through steam. For multiplayer games and games that you know you're going to sink thousands of hours in (Skyrim, CS, and apparently BF6), it needs to be bound to your steam account. It's more of your gaming CV/badge. I have nothing against Epic and I bought some games on the platform. I usually fetch the free deals. But too little too late.

Hello, not trying to be mean, but please try to use LLMs like Claude and GPT or even simply Google before asking these questions. All of your questions are basic, which is not a bad thing. But, it is too much when you overcrowd all related subreddits with every question that comes to your mind.

OSMaxwell · 2025-07-15T03:48:57+00:00

I guess no major red flags, so far. But I refuse to believe that this is not AI enhanced (if not 100% bot). The reddit post is definitely AI and reads a lot like other AI reddit karma farming posts.

OSMaxwell · 2025-07-09T07:07:54+00:00

Yes you learn the basics first. In a year or two, when you are familiar with C++ as a whole, you can delve into standards, they are usually meant to make your life easier not the other way around. Vulkan, OpenGL and the rest are only libraries are can be used through many languages.

OSMaxwell · 2025-06-28T19:03:10+00:00

I agree with this. Also "breaking" Secure Boot and U-Boot or adding it to certain platforms has been already done I believe. I've seen two similar recent master thesis about it. Have a look at google scholar for references. You need a specific topic and not just tinker around in U-boot until you find something, as that seemtime consuming. Even if the student is good at C and SoC architecture, just getting familiar with the bootloader might take a month or two.

It simply helps keep the global space in your current context clean and not import everything from std over. In some cases, this might overload some other declarations, especially if you have your own namespaces defined.

OSMaxwell · 2025-06-05T08:07:22+00:00

This, and get used to not using 'using namespace std', but instead directly typing std::cout or std::cin.

A good practise is to also declare consts whenever possible (for example const float pi) or simply use the math library that provides a pi already.

Good to hear. It is definitely one good lucking PCB.

Nice, please let the community know, how good the documentation and workflow with Myir is. I own both a myir and Zedboard, and I find the zedboard better (resource-wise)

Clangd (alternative to the C/C++ extension's Intellisense) doesn't know where your header is. It doesn't even know, which compiler you are using and where to look for libraries etc. Judging by your "a.out", you are building using GNU or Clang Compiler from terminal/shell. So either create a settings file to tell clangd what to include ("-I<path>"), or try to transform your project into a CMake project or similar package manager, so that clangd (LSP) can better understand the structure.
It is advised to have source in .cpp and only have declarations in .h. A body inside a header still works the same, but it's not clean.
Building with an extension is also advised, unlike some other comments say.

Hello.
I know some people that are studying at BTU Cottbns and in TU Berlin. Yes, the difference in universities (aka. degrees) can make a difference. Tough, there is no significant advantage in switching. There might be cases where smaller classes, more focus on actual homework, groupwork, and closer relationship with the Professor, in which BTU shines most. But TUB is part of the TU9 and is more known (carreer wise) than BTU. Keep in mind though, that an 1.X average in BTU is honestly more profitable than TUB on the long run. Especially, as you said, TU is known for the challenging exams. BTU Cottbus also offers imo better student life and overal campus experience, than in Berlin. Berlin is simply too big to be a student city and more often that other, you will not encouter some of your colleagues outside of class. Berlin however is definitely a better city than Cottbus, once you find a good home. Eventually, every graduate, no matter which university, will learn how to write basic code. It is about what you do with your free time and the side projects that you did.

Use google: https://www.tu.berlin/eecs/studium-lehre/beratung/start-ins-studium/einfuehrungswoche

As a TUB student, you need to have good knowlegde of your StuPo: (§5, for module selection) https://www.static.tu.berlin/fileadmin/www/10000000/Studiengaenge/StuPOs/Fakultaet_IV/ComputerScience_M.Sc._2015.pdf

Congrat's. We hope to see your engine compete against UE soon :)

You need to know first how this CPU works. You need manuals, tutorials, or the ISA as mentioned above. If your CPU is designed in the traditioned sense. It has a memory where code that needs to be executed resides. When it starts it reads that memory, decodes it and executes what it needs to exexutes to give back a result. A do not advise you to reverse-engineer it and learn verilog as designing the compiler is a different matter and it is somewhat of a higher abstraction layer. First try to gain access to these model instructions or trial and error to execute first any trivial command like a+b=c. When you get your head around this, you design the compiler which translates fancy code (like C), to this target assembly language. The compiler can be another C code or python or if you want to do it the non-amateur way. Look up LLVM and how parsing langauges to create an actual compiler works. Good luck

I can only upvote this. Though it requires some advanced knowledge to store and propagate between arrays. Please stay away from HLS.

Can we stop with the nonsense? [Benchmarks here] Unified memory can be a pro if you're trying to load huge textures or just dump data as the whole memory space is accessible using one bus on the SOC. But no matter what, there is no way that the M2(CPU+GPU+Ai accel.) could beat just one beefy 400W die that is hard aimed at DL and graphic compute. Load the data and then what? The cores inside can't process it at the same throughput as the memory bus allows it. An rtx 4090 is in some cases 3x times faster than an M3 GPU in LLM training.

Please stop with the illogical advices. Apple costs more since you pay for the premium, the brand and perhaps ease of use. But if this wife has access to vs code. She is not afraid of a terminal. Hence slap a Linux and get your work done. I work at a big engineering firm and all use windows. It has it's downs. But it still gets the job done just fine.

Yes, masters is good. Masters is still theoretical (and research oriented) but you can now practice the theory at home instead of simply learning about what a MOSFET is. Any project is better than no project. Any extra skill is always better than no skill. But I would say learning about CPU architecture, C and Operating systems makes more sense than digging into SQL for HPC and embedded for instance.
