>>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.

OpenAI/GPT-2 This has to be one of the biggest breakthroughs in deep learning and AI so far. 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. The model is chameleon-like—it adapts to the style and content of the conditioning text. This allows the user to generate realistic and coherent continuations about a topic of their choosing >GPT-2 displays a broad set of capabilities, including the ability to generate conditional synthetic text samples of unprecedented quality, where we prime the model with an input and have it generate a lengthy continuation. 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

>>38583 >The problem with our own exchange is that we will still need to exchange actual USD (or any other official currency) for SumonoCoin through digital means somehow, and the only way to do online transactions/transfers (afaik) is through """Payment Processors""" Yes, you're right. Thus the primary reason I suggest a secured-trust institution. It becomes our own payment processor. * It has the weakness (just like all the rest of them) of relying on the kike's fiat system for exchange at the 2nd-level, but at least we'd still have other options under our control ("offshore", BRICS, etc.) that you wouldn't have with other (((payment processors))). --- As usual, I'm hoping that the baste Chinese will manage all this in our steads. Just like all the rest, I hardly care what Dr. Lee or Mr. Wong think about the fact Anons are all buying & selling robowaifus with one another. (That only becomes an issue for us collectively here in the kiked-up (((w*st))).) As long as the Changs don't actually touch our physical stuff **, then them clearing CryptoCoin payments for us is hardly an issue, AFAICT. And the primary benefit with the Chinese for us is them not 'cancelling' us b/c (((reasons))) -- as would almost-certainly eventually happen within the so-called 14-eyes' domains during Current Year. <---> >...(see the guy who bought two pizzas with 10,000 Bitcoin) That poor SOB. :/ --- * And of course it can accept our own digital coin (as well as (((credit/debit cards))), checks, cash, &tc.)

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??

Since we have no thread for hands, I'm now opening one. Aside the AI, it might be the most difficult thing to archive. For now, we could at least collect and discuss some ideas about it. There's Will Cogleys channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/WillCogley - he's on his way to build a motor driven biomimetic hand. It's for humans eventually, so not much space for sensors right now, which can't be wired to humans anyways. He knows a lot about hands and we might be able to learn from it, and build something (even much smaller) for our waifus.

We'll have to come up with some very small GelSight-like sensors. F3 hand (pneumatic) https://youtu.be/JPTnVLJH4SY https://youtu.be/j_8Pvzj-HdQ Festo hand (pneumatic) https://youtu.be/5e0F14IRxVc Thread >>417 is about Prosthetics, especially Open Prosthetics. This can be relevant to some degree. However, the constraints are different. We might have more space in the forearms, but we want marvelous sensors in the hands and have to connect them to the body.

Related: >>35641 >Functional evaluation of a non-assembly 3D-printed hand prosthesis > ... developed a new approach for the design and 3D printing of non-assembly active hand prostheses using inexpensive 3D printers working on the basis of material extrusion technology. This article describes the design of our novel 3D-printed hand prosthesis and also shows the mechanical and functional evaluation in view of its future use in developing countries. We have fabricated a hand prosthesis using 3D printing technology and a non-assembly design approach that reaches certain level of functionality. The mechanical resistance of critical parts, the mechanical performance, and the functionality of a non-assembly 3D-printed hand prosthesis were assessed. The mechanical configuration used in the hand prosthesis is able to withstand typical actuation forces delivered by prosthetic users. Moreover, the activation forces and the energy required for a closing cycle are considerably lower as compared to other body-powered prostheses. The non-assembly design achieved a comparable level of functionality with respect to other body-powered alternatives. We consider this prosthetic hand a valuable option for people with arm defects in developing countries. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.1177/0954411919874523
>>38171 POTD Really exciting to see his progress with this new print-in-place design. Thanks, Anon! Cheers. :^)

I made a generator to generate nandroid images. You can use it in browser, but a desktop version (that should easier to use), will be available. https://soaringmoon.itch.io/nandroid-generator Not very mobile friendly unfortunately, but it does run. I made a post about this already in another thread, but I wanted to make improvements and add features to the software. >If you have any suggestions or ideas other than custom color selection, which I am working on right now, let me know.
