i love rain but these last few months it's been destroying the building and that's not good
the terrace's membrane has broken down to the point that the sixth floor is flooding and this water is going down the stairs and the elevator shaft which we had to stop using because it smelled like it was burning and the lights went out a couple times
and somehow it turns out all the cable and internet wires go through that same shaft so it breaking means everyone's connection is down
at the same time the holes that the construction workers next door poked into our walls were very badly done and are leaking as well so that's causing a bit of flooding too
extra bit is that the company celebrated my five year anniversary by revoking my keycard's permissions because that's when it expires though that was sorted in half an hour thankfully

I can't really get a good picture (don't want to get close and scare it) but nest is occupied by a robin. I'm not sure if a nest that's eye level is a good idea, but it's on the North side of a fence so it's safe from most wind. Hope I can hear some baby birds soon

I was reminded that another year has passed since the last time the /qa/ anime chart was updated, so I thought it was as good a time as ever to bring it back, update it, and improve on it a bit in the process.

The format for deciding on picks this year will be the same as the last with the addition of maybe singling out a specific anime of each year to be the most /qa/ anime of the year. For the current candidates that should be easy since there's only 4 of them, but for this year we'll have to conclude all the seasonal polls first and then afterwards decide.

The polls will be made separately and then linked in the thread with at least 3 days allotted for people to decide on winners, and I'll make a new poll for each season every day, starting with Winter 2021 today. To not make cheating so easy I'll make it so an IP needs at least 3 posts to vote, which shouldn't really be hard for anyone I hope. Also the AOTY polls will probably all be at the end or sometime in-between since they shouldn't be as hard of a decision.

Let's talk to AI Characters Anonymous 10/07/22 (Fri) 09:40:01 No.97793 [Reply][Last50 Posts]

MORE AI STUFF! It's weird how this is all happening at once. Singularity is near?

Alright, there's another AI thing people are talking about, but this time it shouldn't be very controversial:
https://beta.character.ai/
Using a temporary email service (just google 'temporary email') you can make an account and start having conversations with bots. (Write down the email though because it's your login info)
But, these bots are actually good. EXTREMELY good. Like, "is this really a bot?" good. I talked with a vtuber and had an argument and it went very well. Too well, almost. I don't know how varied the stuff is, but they're really entertaining when I talked to Mario and even a vtuber.
Sadly, it's gaining in popularity rapidly so the service is getting slower and it might even crash on you.

It says "beta" all over the site, presumably this is in the public testing phase and once it leaves beta it's going to cost money, so it's best to have fun with this now while we still can (and before it gets neutered to look good for investors or advertisers).

It's worth noting that the kissu chatbots had set an extremely low context window to save on token cost so it greatly lowered their ability to have longer conversations. We weren't really counting on anyone spending significant time with them. Sonnet (or even Haiku) with higher context would be better than the handicapped Opus we had for those purposes.

>I think I would go full spaghetti if I tried having a serious conversation with an AI of mai waifu
I was like this at first, too. It gets easier, a lot easier. I might even say this could help you talk to people online if you have troubles with that. I would personally hold off on attempting a waifu experience (which I think I've mentioned recently) because it's still not there yet and might never be in regards to the entire LLM technology. It's one thing if it mistakenly removes a shirt for the 3rd time or describes anatomy that isn't there when you're doing simple ERP, but it's another thing if the personality does a 180 and completely breaks the illusion when you're talking.

Dumping some various text AI news.
-There's an updated GPT4 Turbo available. It's not a major upgrade, but people are saying it's less censor-happy than GPT4 Turbo-Preview.
-Meta is expected to release Llama3 within a month. People are quite impressed with Mistral, but more competition is good. Unless Mistral is unusually good, they won't be able to compete with Meta's billions of dollars worth of training GPUs. https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/09/meta-confirms-that-its-llama-3-open-source-llm-is-coming-in-the-next-month/
-Mistral itself released Mixtral-8x22B, but the VRAM requirement is massive. Still, it's good to see: https://huggingface.co/mistral-community/Mixtral-8x22B-v0.1-4bit
-Other local models released recently and more planned, seemingly eager to get them out before LLama3. Really great news for local stuff. I need VRAM...
-OpenAI is releasing a custom model "optimized for Japanese". I wonder if it will be better at machine translation into English? Probably not. https://openai.com/blog/introducing-openai-japan

Also I've heard rumors of 5090s being released at the end of this year. You'll get to choose between buying one or a new car.

So the DDDDD thread made me realize that kissu doesn't really have any threads dedicated to manga that I could find. The focus seems to be too much on seasonal anime. I realize that this is because manga is much harder to find/follow than seasonal stuff as there are no clear guidelines for it and Westerners don't read comics nearly as much as the Japanese do.

Anyway, what manga have you been reading recently? I just read the latest chapter of Shimeji Simulation a few days ago. As with anything made by Tsukumizu so far it is great. Definitely recommend it to everyone here and I do hope it eventually gets an anime adaption as well like SSR.

But that's pretty normal since some manga keeps publishing forever, frequently goes on hiatus, takes long to get translations, etc. You shouldn't care too much about 'completing' them like you do with anime.

It's so weird going through my dream journal. Some dreams are just completely gone from my memory while there are other dreams which I largely remember. Even weirder is that there are some dreams which I definitely remembered very clearly and wrote it down in detail but forgot about it entirely by today while other less detailed and vague dreams I still somehow remember even now, and the date difference isn't even particularly big

Sleep paralysis is extremely uncommon and the sleep paralysis demons are even less so common. Often times there are cases where you think that you're having sleep paralysis but in reality you're already well asleep and just dreaming the scenario.

Dream:
First part I'm back in highschool where there was suddenly a new policy across the nation in which any form of potential violent weapon wasn't allowed "Four glass rule" and cars violating it are "cursed" as in tinted some special shade of amber that makes it transparent unless a certain condition is activated. My keys work on a different car as I'm confused trying to get out until someone makes it a necessity to reveal the amber secret. Then we all start driving away before anyone is able to accost us further. I think on the way home I realize I need to go back for some reason or another and am then forced to drive through a shortcut route of crop of something that begins to burst into flames as I go past it while repeating some song... That was weird in its own right.

But then the next part of the dream I'd thought I'd woken up and was just going about my day as usual when I decided to go into the basement room we renovated. Somehow it was above ground now and we had neighbors somehow despite my house having a fair bit of land between houses. Well, either way what happened next was I found an exit to outside and now that was also my only way to get back into the house as well. A fat lady who I suppose was meant to be my neighbor looked at me through her window and started to scream about how I'll get what's coming to me and that everyone will be against me or that she knows who I am. I try to hide myself behind the shutters of the door but her gaze is piercing and even though I can barely make out her I can tell that she's staring me down in a manner that makes things uncomfortable. Going outside to make it into my house again feels unsafe so I find a dark corner between two sofas to hide between while waiting for her to go away and hoping that she just leaves me alone. It seems to work until I look behind me to see her looming in the window outside, and when I spot her she breaks through the glass and tries to tackle me down. I fight back and bite off a chunk of her arm but she's flailing frantically and is quite heavy. I don't know for much longer I can endure restraining her on pure adrenaline and then that's when I wake up for real.

https://www.pcgamer.com/wow-classic-is-getting-official-hardcore-mode-servers/

What does /qa/ think about the idea of hardcore MMOs? Having seen a bit about this in my Youtube recommends, it looks kinda fun and engaing. Classic wow is by no means the hardest, or even that challenging an MMO, but I think that just lends itself very nicely to a hardcore mode. It encourages a bit more social interaction during questing to not die trying to solo along with encouraging better communication during dungeons/raids since nobody wants to lose their character. Also I'm a bit of a fan of hardcore modes myself, so I was wondering if kissu might be interested in giving it a shot once the servers come out?

Blizz noticed and changes are already planned like a gold reward hotfix that came 8 hours after the patch launched, and an exp nerf to the incursion quests that'll come later today. Figuring this out, I decided to use it as an opportunity to easily level 2 of my chars to 50, and I spent all day today just running incursions over and over. Now my warrior is 50 alongside my rogue.

What is that exactly?

Sort of like an instance thing that everyone takes part in, they're inside of the portals that the world boss dragons come out of. Inside you do quests and get mission letters from them that you then use to get another quest and an item that lets you share the quest with other party members. There's kill quests, pick up quests, boss quests, and profession-based quests. It's pretty fun to do as a one off event and feels very MMO-y with how many people are doing it at the same time and killing bosses and such. However, the issue is that it's much easier to just do bosses and pick up quests than it is to do any kill quests or profession ones, so people run them in loops of 5-man groups and refresh all the quests after turning them in by sharing with each other then do it again and again and again because it's the most efficient way to get both gold and xp. You do this from 40 to 50 unless you want to be left behind, and right now there's a rush to do them since it's getting nerfed hard in the next patch so it's super easy to get groups.

No group for Blood Moon? No problem! Just play a rogue.

The problem with imageboard culture Anonymous 04/14/24 (Sun) 20:49:59 No.123078 [Reply]

Is that you aren't encouraged to contribute and make well written posts on the ones that move too fast. It's easier to just be a shitposting moron since it might feel like trying to contribute doesn't pay off due to everything archiving quickly. This is why 4chan is so low quality in general, and this is exacerbated even more by the fact that everyone sees it as a site where you can be retarded/controversial without any repercussions due to anonymity. The result is a very negative and 'toxic' environment which is likely bad for your mental health. However, 4/qa/ during our time went against this culture. If your thread was good we would try to keep it alive as long as possible through constant bumps and bumpbots. This in turn encouraged users to be less negative and try to contribute more towards its culture. 4/qa/ as its 2D/Random incarnation was really a community effort unlike anything ever seen on 4chan before. We did not rely on the staff to do anything for ourselves, we self-moderated. But of course, good things aren't allowed to exist on modern 4chan, so they were against this concept and tried to impose as many restrictions on the board as possible to counter that until everyone got fed up and left. I bet they weren't expecting for something even worse to take our place though.

Kissu is pretty removed from 4/qa/ at this point, but elements of its culture are still very present here. You see people making well thought and well written posts all the time and quality of discussion is generally much higher than at 4chan.

It's not obvious at all, they fulfill different roles and a true comparison would be difficult. I definitely don't think every other altchan is better, almost all of them are far worse.

>>123105
I'm pretty sure the "this is bait" fish started getting posted everywhere in 2012-13 and replaced "don't feed the troll" for a while until their meanings slightly diverged. They can be the same thing, but a lot of the generic questions that fill threads aren't attempts at trolling but attempts to bait a few extra bumps out of people.

I never said it was universally liked. Nothing is. Contrarianism is 4chan's religion, it will never agree on anything.

Also, the event which turned /b/ into a sterile pr0n board was "The Fappening" I believe. I had to look up the year it happened since I wasn't using /b/ anymore during that time and don't know much about its details. It was in 2014, same year as Gamergate.

That was absolutely happening, you just didn't notice. To be fair, with no deletion cooldown, no archives, and with auto-updaters being third-party userscripts, it was much harder to notice bumping with deletion. There was also ordinary samefagging and a lot of plain old spam.

According to the happenings thread >>101080 , Ash's journey in Pokémon is finally ending. It's pretty impressive. He was doing it back when I was a kid, but here we are in 2022 and it's finally over.
It brings lots of thoughts to mind apart from nostalgia.

- I wish I was into Pokémon more. It's like the /mlp/ people on 4chan, there's a bunch of dorks involved, even around my age, that still keep the magic alive. Sure, there's a bunch of kids as there should be, but it's interesting to see older people around making references that only people of a certain age would get. It's hard to find good internet losers.

-Names. People on the English internet generally refer to him as Ash (like this thread) and the localization names for each Pokemon as well. Some names are the same, but many of them aren't. One of my favorite Pokémon is Bulbausaur and not Fushigidane. With the internet full of arguments over everything regards translations, it's strange how this never seems to crop up.

-Great games. I haven't played the most recent ones, but I've never played one I didn't love. I think the newer games allow you to see the Types so you didn't need to throw moves around randomly, which was really getting to be a problem when there are 1000 of them instead of 150.

-The games get a LOT of various ROMhacks. There's even that one Touhou one that's not a hack but a standalone game. Not just simple hacks, either, but very involved stuff and you could spend thousands of hours playing them all. I should look into them more and try some out.

-Pokégirls. I think everyone knows this, but this series has some of the best character designs around and has been consistent about it since its inception. The Asuka vs. Rei thing never seemed that interesting to me in comparison to the girls in Pokémon. Even the 'girl of the week' in the anime had more interesting people in them. Duplica the girl with the Ditto that couldn't transform its face sticks out to me. Brock getting a crush on every girl really made sense.

-Just a fantastic style in general. There are places like https://hirespokemon.tumblr.com/ where you can see the old concept art and it's truly beautiful. Sugimori is a true gePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

items, status moves, the ~15 rare candies you get per game. It's probably a lot harder in the new games since the elite 4 seems to have more mixed teams

I've been wondering... why did Brock leave the anime for a bit? It doesn't make much sense to me. Did the Japanese voice actor become busy or something? He's such a good character and his replacement was so generic.

>>119727
Hmm... well, that's not much of a description but it's a recommendation!

>>119743
That sounds pretty fun. It is a bit lame that the most effective way to play Pokemon is generally to have one Pokemon that you level up, but the XP share stuff at least made it a bit more varied. I generally hovered around 4-5 of them when I play. I think Pokemon kind of has to play it safe with some stuff and that's where rom hacks or fan games come in.

Brock's design was deemed to be racist so they swapped him. It's a true story.

I'm seeing new episodes I've never seen before and I have to say that I really do love this dub. It's very charming. I know it will inevitably lower in quality and it will switch voice actors, but the voices are just so fun right now. Wobbuffet in particular cracks me up, but the other classic characters are still great as well. The original Japanese Pokemon names just don't exist to me-- a weird relic from earlier times.
(There's some weird thing with Handbrake going back one frame and messing up the very first frame in these captures of mine...)

It could be this, but make sure mpv (or vlc) is properly configured in your $PATH too. That's the problem I had on my machine when first configuring the program.

just released a new version of ikamp with spectrogram support!

>>122961
for ikatube you can use the same theme file included with the ikachan distribution (ikachan_colortheme_bocchi.json), you can use that as a template
i actually have worked on a gui theme editor for my programs, so you can use it once it is released, just need some polish
>>122992
>as far as I could see it unfortunately omits the tag categories like Artist, Character, and Copyright
this is unfortunately a limitation of some other boorus ikachan supports, like gelbooru, so they're not always available
>I got ikatube to browse, but somehow couldn't get it to play.
do you have mpv in your path? it should work with that
>I likely don't have whatever compositor (probably ikafb+pwm-xft) is needed to draw border around the window
are you using the native wayland version? window border is not supported on gnome in this case

ikafb is a library that my programs use to draw ui and is already bundled in, and pwm-xft is an old window manager that i used previously
so they should'nt have any effect on the operation of the ika* programs

Wonderful. Looks great, thanks for that ikamp update! I got the spectrogram working on my end and did some other small tweaks in the UI file to make it look pretty without being too cluttered. Took a while, but I finally understand how to use it properly now.

>>123011 >>123014
I actually figured out what my issue with ikatube was. It was in the .json file where I overlooked the default program was mpv! My $PATH was all correct, but ikatube was looking for a program that just wasn't there. I've used VLC exclusively for everything for the past 15+ years. I didn't even consider that it'd default to another program that I've never used haha
I usually use FreeTube on desktop and NewPipe on Android since they're privacy-focused YT front-ends, but this one works fine now. Nice to have some more fun tools~
