Is/was Bill Gates an elite programmer?

How does he rank as a Computer Scientist? I hear stories of his brilliance at Harvard but wonder how gritty he is as a programmer as opposed to a business meme.

liberation has only ever improved code. Berkeley won against att and bsd soared. gnu duplicated unix and soared. sun liberated openoffice and it soared. netscape became firefox.

i encourage you to really take a look at the origins of computing going back 50 years. we have so much now because of the work of small passionate groups of hackers. even things like ssl (ecommerce) we wouldn't have if it weren't for things like the cipherpunks.

"Liberty is so great a magician, endowed with so marvelous a power of productivity, that under the inspiration of this spirit alone, North America was able within less than a century to equal, and even surpass, the civilization of Europe."

agreed, but nobody would use firefox and the internet wouldn't be a big deal if Microsoft/Apple didn't make personal computing a reality

personal computing became a reality for a lot of reasons. netscape was indeed a big deal. microsoft had little to do with the internet.

Why do codemonkeys insist on being called Software Engineers?

I imagine if you go back to the 1960s and call those clerk women writing code "software engineers", you'd get laughed at by all the electrical engineer men putting all the hardware in place. And those women would be working with binary, machine code and their own developed assembly, having ten years experience as a "computer" doing rote calculations, having more of a knowledge of the physical hardware and algorithms than people today bashing together frameworks.

Programming is for the most part literally clerk work. The way they call themselves "Software Engineers" is like electrician's wiring up a house calling themselves Electrical Engineers.

College drop out like Bill Gates as well. Self admitted in a public speech. It's clear he's bsing in the speech too because he uses carefully selected wording like "truth be told", "don't lose faith", and "it was awful tasting MeDiCiNe, but I guess the patient needed it" as he read it from a script as if it were not his own words while at times giving off the vibe that we're in a church service all in an attempt to garner support for himself for his own personal gain. He does target audience level stuff but then does shit public speaking classes in college tell you not to do. Read off a fucking script. He makes the speech seem bigger than it really is and even gives himself credit for "creating the first computer with beautiful typography". The entire speech is a full length script written before hand and I sometimes wonder if he wrote it himself because he does things like stutter and misread things there as if he hadn't written it himself because when he was talking about his calligraphy classes the script says "None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first macintosh comptuer" you can audibly hear him begin to say something different from the script but quickly corrects himself. Sounded as if he was going to say first before the word designing. He's only good at reading ahead whilst acting at the same time and retaining a little bit of information because despite his speech I bet you in reality what happened was him telling his programmers/artists how he wanted the typography which more than likely involved more than just his head which implies that claiming credit for the entire thing is a farce in the first place. Then he starts talking about death and it's clear from that speech he clearly accepted death a long time ago and is probably why cancer killed him.

I mean what kind of asshole gets fired from, self-proclaimed, his own company and has enough riches that he can afford to take months off only to return to it later after creating other companies where strangers work for him and he takes the credit for their work. You think if you got fired from where you work that your employer would accept you back? Much less have enough money to take MONTHS off? Not normie jobs. Most people live pay check to pay check and are in debt. They literally can't even afford to take jury duty but that doesn't stop people from forcing them to go with the threat of consequences and potential violence if you don't comply with the consequences. He plays it off as if it was fate or some shit even though that takes phone calls and making deals and exchanging information which all happens over the course of time. The nigger literally said that remembering you're going to die is to avoid the "trap" of thinking you have something to lose so from the beginning he was already a danger to himself and others and nobody even knew it. Talk about breaking bad.

Imagine being such a nigger that you consume your "working parent's" income to go to college to decide after wasting a lot of time and money that you don't feel like it and THEN sit in on classes for free while you're surrounded by people who are "taking the classes that don't interest them" in order to get a degree to justify them getting a job before you all for your scammer ass to get in front of them.

that requires actually having brainpower to begin with, which you clearly don't if you're asking /g/ instead doing a simple fucking Google search, and reading a single fucking usenet thread that's already likely shorter than this shitty ass thread will be.

Current gen microkernels managed to fit the whole IPC work space on L1 cache making it fast enough for that to not be a problem anymore. I think the remaining overhead issues comes from ACL now.

>low level components live in kernel space and pass data directly to each other -> good performance
That's IPC as well

Has anyone gotten 8bit koboldAI working with the instructions from the OP on Windows? Just following the instructions gets me bits and bytes errors and I"m wondering if it's related to being on windows.

Initially I was getting errors from bits and bytes about cuda not being found, I grabbed what I believe are 8 bit versions of bitsandbytes from another repo that is a "8 bit patch" for Kobold and put them in the bitandbytes folder in the conda environment and now KoboldAI starts without the error about not finding cuda but it always errors at the end of loading a model. Obviously just shoving a different version of bits and bytes was a bit of a long shot but it actually fixed the same issue in the text-generation-ui project.
