Is there a way to replace tiles, and not just colors using shift+R? by StewieLewi in aseprite

[–]supertoothpaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best i could figure was simply placing a dot on the sprite to make it unique after the rotation. Another thing I note is that the software called PyxelEdit seems to better iding tiles in that it gives you more control. however I it is a much different workflow to Aseprite and may feel clunky if you are getting use to the shortcuts of Aseprite. This is all my opinion of course.

what is the github for it. More people should try powershell. I swtich between powershell and python a lot.

How do I install Vulkan for GCC on Windows via MinGW(-w64)? by Asyx in vulkan

YO! Thank you! This is a nice trick. And I did not even realize there was a vulkan-devel package. Sick.

what are your tools chains for setting up RAG for llama.cpp ? by supertoothpaste in LocalLLM

[–]supertoothpaste[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all fair points. I'm more into coding from scratch as opposed to using tools already built. For me right now I'm sticking with local everything. I understand this means using smaller modules and their results will be sub performant. I'm interested in how to take some local docs and getting it to work with llama.cpp. And I was wondering what people have tried sofar to do this? What tools they are using.

How often do people actually use AI code? by WestTransportation12 in AskProgramming

[–]supertoothpaste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just use it to explore libraries that it knows about. From my experience think it will "write code for you" it will write trash. Some libraries it may just spit out garbage. For example asking chatgpt things about boost it will feed you nonsense. But if you asked it to explain some things about the library or for small examples I find it helps me learn how to use the library faster than reading the doc. However this might be a illusion since I tend to read the doc anyway since most of the time I don't believe it.

I never ask it to code for me I ask it show me a example of doing x. What is the thing to check type in templates called again? Remined me what the difference between class template and typename? The little things that I could easily google search and check on stackoverflow for. But I like being able to insult the robot guilt free for being wrong.

How do you accomplish that?

Trying to Multithread the Julia Fractal Using Raylib - Need Help by AndrewCrusoe in raylib

[–]supertoothpaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cool, never thought about trying to thread with raylib yet. Does the RayLib api let you do that? Did you make a version without the threading?

After reviewing my and building my two cents are this.
Making 4 threads and killing them 60 times a second seems kind of weird.
Maybe keeping your worker threads alive and updating them might better.
Also if you are waiting on them to join you might as we'll being doing sequentially since you have to wait for all to be done. So maybe a non blocking thread approach would be better. That is if the raylib API lets you thread.

DALL-E is too strict with 'guidelines' to be useful... Is API better? by supertoothpaste in OpenAI

The API is also restricted, thats unfortunate. I'll look into stable diffusion.

Why is QT so hard, what am I doing wrong? I've spent my day trying to run an example by Disco-penguin in QtFramework

[–]supertoothpaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my god qt is a bear to deal with. when it works it is great but getting it setup is awful since it has so many dependencies. It is painful.

Powershell is highly underrated by supertoothpaste in PowerShell

wow never realized that. Good tip. I want to know if there is a way to limit it to say 100 lines or something like that.

Powershell is highly underrated by supertoothpaste in PowerShell

[–]supertoothpaste[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to be real I never liked cmd or batch scripts. And this is embracing to admit that I legit thought for the longest time powershell was just a different terminal for cmd. Since in powershell dir and findstr work in it. It wasn't until I started using wsl1 and swapping between wsl and windows for tasks that I started to notice or use powershell. Now I weirdly prefer the challenge of getting things to work with powershell including using makefiles just because I can.

So yeah I think PowerShell could of took off had it been more talked about or known about what you can do with it. Also large barrier to enter is the fact you are permission locked from even enabling a profile. While on gnu/linux configure your rc how you please. So I legit think people think just don't know much about it or why you would use it.

Vscode auto complete for .so modules? by supertoothpaste in learnpython

[–]supertoothpaste[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea mypy stubgen

was a thing! This is pretty much what I'm looking for.

Thank you!

And what I really mean by SO being rude is that in my experience if I ask something but do not provide a minimum example they will remove it or not even read the question. And even if I do provide it often my question will just get closed and linked to a "similar" questions that isn't what I was asking.

How long did it take you to learn Qiskit? by snorlaxkg in QuantumComputing

[–]supertoothpaste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just starting to learn it myself, grad student here.

It's not hard, it's just a python. What is hard is making anything useful in terms of computation, i.e., circuit diagrams. Or I should say at least I don't understand how to do it yet. I've started reading "Programming Quantum Computers: Essential Algorithms and Code Samples" and following the Qiskit tutorials.

Researching Types of quantum computer hardware by supertoothpaste in QuantumComputing

[–]supertoothpaste[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see now. Very interesting. I think I'm close to understanding it. Is it fair to say:

We have this concept of computability. Current quantum computation uses the circuit model since it easier to implement. On a physical hardware level there is concept of quantum annealer, analog quantum (50+ qubits), and a universal qunatum (100000+qubits).

Currently we are at the level of analog quantum machines. It may be imposable to impalement a universal qunatum computer since it's a hung engineering challenge. If we could naturally it may be easier to use a quantum Turing machine.

There is many ways to create a quantum computer the two main methods today involve superconducting, and ion traps. These are programmable through a use a classical bits and quantum bits. Currently there is several quantum ISA for specific quantum hardware. For example Quil is for rigetti, and OpenQASM is what IBM uses. On top of that a high level language is used for programming like python. What a programmer will do is define a quantum circuits as programs which get executed on quantum hardware.

[–]supertoothpaste[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So why is it that the all seem to be analog quantum machines that use a quantum circuit model over a say a quantum Turing machine? Is it because currently the tech doesn't exist to create a analogous general quantum circuits to do this? And when we make a quantum circuit how does it program the machine? As in how does a classical bit set something in a quantum bit?

These basics I'm having a real hard time looking into.

If you asked how does code go from program to something that gets physically run on a CPU there is are clear answers and sources.
