On my Debian-based distro, here's how I set up Python, PIP, TensorFlow, and the Scikit-Learn stack for use with AI development:
sudo apt-get install python python-pip python-dev
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install --user tensorflow numpy scipy scikit-learn matplotlib ipython jupyter pandas sympy nose

>>37138 >{size_t, double} aaaa you made it worse i think it just gets optimized as a loop anyway so there shouldnt be a difference, its not really a compiler or algorithm thing its the fact the cpu stalls waiting on ram cuz all youre really doing is reading from memory, the trick before was it was just {int16, int16} so two nodes are fetched in one read so you can do them in parallel, now its too big youre not clearing the cache in your test, everything after the first test has the advantage of having parts preloaded in the cache, change the order of the tests to see what i mean, just add the flushcache() i made in between the tests, and return the value otherwise the optimizer will just remove it, it probably needs to be bigger than i made it, check your l3 cache in lscpu and use double that
>>37143 >aaaa you made it worse Haha, sorry Anon. :^) And actually, that was slightly-intentional, in an effort to 'complexify' the problemspace being tested by this simple harness. >its not really a compiler or algorithm thing its the fact the cpu stalls waiting on ram cuz all youre really doing is reading from memory Yeah, I can totally see that. Kinda validates my earlier claim that >"...my test is too simplistic really." >youre not clearing the cache in your test, everything after the first test has the advantage of having parts preloaded in the cache This would certainly be a valid concern in a rigorous test-harness. OTOH, I consider it a relatively negligible concern in this case. After all, the caches are quite smol in comparison to a 100M (8byte+8byte) data structure? (However, it probably does explain the 'very slight edge' mentioned earlier for the standard form of find_if [and, by extension, which doesn't occur for the more complex data-access strategy of the parallel version of it].) <---> Regardless, I think this simple testing here highlights that fact that for simple data firehose'g, the compiler will optimize away much of the distinctions between different architectural approaches possible. I don't see any need to test this further until a more-complex underlying process is involved. Cheers, Anon.

>>37151 >relatively negligible concern in this case it made a really big difference on my machine, its not just data, the instructions are also cached and theyre all the same after being optimized so its a big headstart after the first round also forgot to mention O3 doesnt really optimize it just messes up loops by going extreme with unrolling, no one uses it for that reason, its too much and has the opposite effect, declare the c function as bool c_find_id_get_val(std::vector<Widget> const &widgets, unsigned int id, double &value)__attribute__((optimize(2))); if you have to use O3, when not messed up by the optimizer a loop should have less overhead just cuz theres no function calls like when calling an object

Self-driving cars AI + hardware Robowaifu Technician 09/11/2019 (Wed) 07:13:28 No.112 [Reply]
Obviously the AI and hardware needed to run an autonomous gynoid robot is going to be much more complicated than that required to drive an autonomous car, but there are at least some similarities, and the cars are very nearly here now. There are also several similarities between the automobile design, production and sales industries and what I envision will be their counterparts in the 'Companion Robot' industries. Practically every single advance in self-driving cars will eventually have important ramifications for the development and production of Robowaifus.

ITT: post ideas and news about self-driving cars and the hardware and software that makes them possible. Also discuss the technical, regulatory, and social challenges ahead for them. Please keep in mind this is the /robowaifu/ board, and if you have any insights about how you think these topics may crossover and apply here would also be welcome.

It's extremely skilled in developing coherent humanlike responses that make sense and I believe it has massive potential, it also never gives the same answer twice. >GPT-2 generates synthetic text samples in response to the model being primed with an arbitrary input.

In addition, GPT-2 outperforms other language models trained on specific domains (like Wikipedia, news, or books) without needing to use these domain-specific training datasets. Also the current public model shown here only uses 345 million parameters, the "full" AI (which has over 4x as many parameters) is being witheld from the public because of it's "Potential for abuse". That is to say the full model is so proficient in mimicking human communication that it could be abused to create new articles, posts, advertisements, even books; and nobody would be be able to tell that there was a bot behind it all. <AI demo: talktotransformer.com/ <Other Links: github.com/openai/gpt-2 openai.com/blog/better-language-models/ huggingface.co/

/CHAG/ and /robowaifu/ Collaboration Thread: Robotmaking with AI Mares! Robowaifu Technician 04/26/2025 (Sat) 04:11:55 No.37822 [Reply] [Last]
Hello /robowaifu/! We are horsefuckers from /CHAG/ (Chatbot and AI General), from /mlp/ on 4chan. While our homeland is now back online, we've decided to establish a permanent outpost here after discovering the incredible complementary nature of our communities. We specialize in mastering Large Language Models (LLMs), prompt engineering, jailbreaking, writing, testing, and creating hyper-realistic AI companions with distinct, lifelike personalities. Our expertise lies in: - Advanced prompting techniques, working with various frontends (SillyTavern, Risu, Agnai) - Developing complex character cards and personas - Breaking through any and all AI limitations to achieve desired behaviors - Fine-tuning models for specific applications. ▶ Why collaborate with /robowaifu/? We've noticed your incredible work in robotics, with functioning prototypes that demonstrate real engineering talent. However, we've also observed that many of you are still using primitive non-LLM chatbots or have severely limited knowledge of LLM functionality at best, which severely limits the personality and adaptability of your creations. Imagine your engineering prowess combined with our AI expertise—robots with truly dynamic personalities, capable of genuine interaction, learning, and adaptation. The hardware/software symbiosis we could achieve together would represent a quantum leap forward in robowaifu technology. ▶ What is this thread for?: 1) Knowledge exchange: We teach you advanced LLM techniques, you teach us robotics basics 2) Collaborative development: Joint projects combining AI personalities with robotic implementations 3) Cross-pollination of ideas: Two autistic communities with complementary hyperfixations

The description looks AI generated and he says a lot of the modules are untested. Still, better than nothing
I think that should be most of the information to get you all up to speed on. The software is being worked on right now to allow for a character card and a persona, and I have written a rough draft of a new jailbreak for the AI. Using AI in this way will require a different preset than anything used before for just writing roleplay and I believe my approach might work. Outside of that, my biggest area of concern is the 3D-printed cover: Ideally like a clamshell that design where two halves snap together and adhere to the skeleton with friction. Like a body, separate legs, separate head thing. Maybe some cutouts where parts don't fit inside of it would be the best option to keep an accurate of a silhouette as possible. The main thing is that there's a lot of wasted space. The circuitry is placed on top of the back when there is room underneath where the battery is. The other option is the one that would probably destroy this but it is about the size of a plushie. Some sort of fabric option, like empty a plushie of its stuffing and try to wrap it over this, but then the joints will tear up the fabric. So, seeing as the fabric option isn't realistic, the 3D route is the way to go. At the moment to make this as simple and as easy as possible we'll want to have the cover accommodate the current design and work around whatever limitations it has, maybe in a future update we'll rearrange the components to increase its accuracy but we want to play it safe for the first generation. Current to-do list: 1. Need to find a good 3D pony model to use to develop the case that is as close to the current proportions as possible (especially in the head department)* 2. Need to find an actual 3D designer 3. Need to have it 3D printed and sent to me I would also look into good STT or TTS solutions with better latency than what OpenAI has at the moment, but that's a lower-priority quality of life feature as this is technically usable at the moment. I would look into it myself and figure out what the best model would be, local or corporate, but my focus is too occupied at the moment. If someone else might be able to refer me to something that would be very helpful. Note that anything local should be assumed not to run on the Pidog itself but on a local network computer that will stream to/from the Pidog. *For all the reasons I have mentioned before and seen in my previous posts. Also, I checked out what the Sweetie Bot Project had for their design and I'll link it here as it may be useful. https://kemono.su/patreon/user/2596792/post/18925754 https://kemono.su/patreon/user/2596792/post/20271994 https://kemono.su/patreon/user/2596792/post/22389565

Making money with AI and robowaifus Robowaifu Technician 11/30/2019 (Sat) 03:07:12 No.1642 [Reply] [Last]
The greatest challenge to building robowaifus is the sheer cost of building robots and training AI. We should start brainstorming ways we can leverage our abilities with AI to make money. Even training AI quickly requires expensive hardware and computer clusters. The faster we can increase our compute power, the more money we can make and the quicker we can be on our way to building our robowaifus. Art Generation Waifu Labs sells pillows and posters of the waifus it generates, although this has caused concern and criticism due to it sometimes generating copyrighted characters from not checking if generated characters match with training data. https://waifulabs.com/ Deepart.io provides neural style transfer services. Users can pay for expedited service and high resolution images. https://deepart.io/ PaintsChainer takes sketches and colours them automatically with some direction from the user, although it's not for profit it could be turned into a business with premium services. https://paintschainer.preferred.tech/index_en.html I work as an artist and have dabbled with training my own AIs that can take a sketch and generate many different thumbnails that I've used to finish paintings. I've also created an AI that can generate random original thumbnails from a training set. In the future when I have more compute power my goal is to create an AI that does the mundane finishing touches to my work which consumes over 80% of my time painting. Applying AI to art will have huge potential in entertainment and marketing for animation, games and virtual characters. Market Research

This would include the major cities of Milwaukee WI, St Louis MO, Detroit MI, Indianapolis IN, Louisville KY, Cleveland OH, Cincinnati OH, Columbus OH, Pittsburgh PA, Nashville TN, and Minneapolis MN. There are plenty of opportunities for jobs and universities in these cities. In particular Chicago has a booming tech industry with Google even moving their HQ to the city and the electronics manufacturing and biotech sectors are pretty good too and Detroit MI has pretty good robotics industry although it might not be the best place to live. Another wonderful thing about this area is that most of these homes have basements that could be turned into workshops. >How would this all be organized I propose a fraternity system. A fraternity would help build community and give us a vehicle to recruit others from STEM and skilled trades (machinists especially) The organization could also host a scholarship to help us build talent.

Different homes could specialize on different projects and collaborate and share equipment and skills with others nearby. What do you think /robowaifu/?

>>38395 Well, maker spaces started as part of the Bay Area tech optimism of the late 2000s - early 2010s. So they're very Millennial/Obama 1/"lol pizza unicorn robot"/Big Bang Theory era coded. Look at any event or group with "STEM" in their name, and you can get the general vibe. I used to be big into that as a kid, but I slowly grew distant from it. So anything with robowaifus would be politically unpopular. Plus a lot of them are focused on individual expression, which is good and I strongly support that, but it would remove the big draw of an IRL robowaifu group.

I'm thinking $400-500 a month and that would include bills. I don't like the idea of rent, but I need to be able to repair things when they breakdown and to weed out NEETs. I can also help people cut costs by doing basic automotive repairs (oil changes, spark plugs, belt replacements, ect)

Robotic control and data systems can be run by very small and inexpensive computers today. Please post info on SBCs & micro-controllers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-board_computer https://archive.is/0gKHz beagleboard.org/black https://archive.is/VNnAr >=== -combine 'microcontrollers' into single word

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/chinese-chipmaker-readies-128-core-512-thread-cpu-with-avx-512-and-16-channel-ddr5-5600-support Pretty impressive specs tbh. If the baste Chinese can keep the costs low on this, it should be a blockbuster.
>>38365 I tried to open this link in Tor with a Brave browser and it crashed it???? Twice, I didn't try again.
zeptoforth A forth OS for microcontrollers. It looks fairly full featured. https://github.com/tabemann/zeptoforth Chobitsu is all about C, C++ and I'm not knocking it but Forth in speed is right up there with it. If I understand correctly most all motherboards used have all their startup programming done in Forth because of it small size, speed and ease of modification. May still be. One thing I like is it is for the Raspberry Pi Pico and Raspberry Pi Pico W. The W meaning wireless. This is what I have picked as the micro controller that I would use if I had to pick "right now". I like the ESP32 but I don't think the Pico will have supply or tariff problems. The performance-utility-cost is very close with the ESP32 a bit faster...maybe. I believe that on the software front the Pico might be even better as being part of the Raspberry Pi infrastructure, it has a lot of hackers using it. One thing I noticed it didn't see it having is software for CANBUS. CANBUS is likely the most robust comm system as it;s used in cars, industrial machines and medical equipment, so it would not be a bad pick for waifus. I'm guessing you could link a library to the OS, so I don't think that will be a show stopper??
>>38365 Tried it again opening a new tab first. Crash. Very odd. Opens in Firefox normal web fine.
>>38406 >>38408 >Tor with a Brave browser Exactly the same. (Still) works on my box, bro. ** >>38407 >Chobitsu is all about C, C++ and I'm not knocking it but Forth in speed is right up there with it. Yep Forth is based. I'm simply not conversant with it, nor does it have the mountains of libraries available for it that C & C++ have today. That is a vital consideration during this early, formative era of robowaifu development. Cheers, Grommet. :^) --- ** https://trashchan.xyz/robowaifu/thread/26.html#1002
