I feel like every time I try to give a rough description of some idea or concept to a search engine, the results are seldom anything more than useless/misleading. But then, when I find out there's a technical or standard term for whatever concept I'm trying to convey, using that term drastically improves the search results (even if in the end I don't get the answer I need). Since this is a struggle that I face pretty often, I will many times just give up on raw searching and end up describing the exact thing to some LLM, even the AI assist of whatever search engine I am using.

On the other hand, I think it's fair to say that search engines have just gotten worse over time as the internet gets flooded with useless/AI-generated/low effort algorithm-bait websites, so most successful searches I do usually end up with the "reddit" suffix, or maybe a look through wikipedia, or maybe some other forum.

But back to the core issue, how do I go from something like "tracking bounding box followed by the camera computer graphics" to "camera deadzone"?, or "orelse-like operator in typescript" to "nullish coalescing operator"? and plenty of examples like these. I know the usual is to rephrase the search, look for synonyms, make the search more targeted, etc. But is there any website/search engine that makes it easier to find standard terms from descriptions? I feel like a full-blown LLM is just overkill for this purpose.

Problem description: Screen will turn black for an instant (around 50 ms?) and go back to normal, black screens will mostly (but not always) be accompanied by a horizontal gray strip. Blinking happens fairly often from desktop view, it happens a little less when loading basic websites like forums from Firefox, but it gets borderline unusable when displaying a video, I only tested this on reddit though.

I installed Linux Mint "Zara" 22.2 Cinnamon edition for a 2015 HP ProBook laptop (can't recall the specific model rn), it's set up for dual-booting along with Windows 10 in legacy MBR mode (no EFI). Since it's a laptop it has an integrated Intel HD Graphics (520?) GPU.

The problem's been present since I first booted up the live session from the USB, I thought after installing it would go away since maybe the live session is less stable or something.

Windows works perfectly fine in regards to this though, so I know it's not a hardware problem.

Across the forums, for people with similar issues (I haven't found one that describes mine exactly) the solution is usually "Find the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT='quiet splash' and change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT='quiet splash intel_iommu=igfx_off i915.enable_dc=0 i915.enable_psr=0 intel_idle.max_cstate=2'."". I have tried with each of this parameters at least once, rebooting each and none of them completely solving the issue. my current setting is probably the one described there except that it may not include i915.enable_psr=0.

And yes, each time I modified the file through sudo nano /etc/default/grub, saved it, and sudo update-grub-ed, which never reported syntax errors so at least that should be fine.

My screen resolution is 1366x768, if that helps in any way.

UPDATE 1: I tested and rendering to external monitors work fine, I connected the device to a TV through HDMI and the blinking would only occur on the laptop monitor. This would maybe suggest it's a hardware issue, but that wouldn't explain why windows works fine, and messing around physically with the lid doesn't seem to increase/decrease the flickering. On the other hand, certain websites make the blinking/flickering occur more often if rendered, e.g. Godot Docs, and especially, Stack Overflow.

Info: My laptop is an HP ProBook 440 G4, integrated GPU Intel HD 520

Let's leave the networking aspect aside for a moment.

When a language is compiled, the source files go through a pipeline of parser -> preprocessor -> compiler -> assembler -> linker, to end up with an executable. With interpreted languages, the source code is instantly executed line by line by an interpreter software. With JIT languages, the program gets compiled and optimized into portable bytecode, which is run by the language's runtime.

If I had to guess, web pages (i.e. HTML/CSS/JS) are most likely run by an interpreter that is a web browser, but isn't that inefficient given that most of what people do on computers is browsing the web? What about browsers, what standard is there that specifies how each language should be run/rendered? What pipeline does a webpage go through to end up as a process in a computer?

Is there any computer program with AI capabilities (the generative ones seen in ChatGPT; onlineText-to-Picture generators, etc.) that is actually standalone? i.e. able to run in a fully offline environment.

As far as I understand, the most popular AI technology rn consists of a bunch of matrix algebra, convolutions and parallel processing of many low-precision floating-point numbers, which works because statistics and absurdly huge datasets. So if any such program existed, how would it even have a reasonable storage size if it needs the dataset?

First part was a tiny little bit inspired by killbot's last ufo, the rest is some ammalgamation of bad ideas from the past, alcohol and extensive nefs because I'm bad at this game

Long story short, there is a song by Suzie Rose called "Don't Rush (remix)", which is available at most platforms, but I found at this page what appears to be the original version (which explains the remix label in the other one).

However, the original song is nowere to be found, when I try to shazam it, it just returns the remix, it doesn't appear at youtube, spotify nor as a result of any search engine (at least not ddg and google)

Yet, the song that can be listened at from the page I shared sounds 100% like an official record, not any kind of bootleg, and this other site also suggests its existence.

TL;DR: Suzie Rose has a song called "Don't Rush (remix)", where's the original besides here?

I submitted my sign-up request to dbzer0 like two months ago already, I don't know if it's been accepted already, but I'm reasonably assuming it hasn't since:

1. I haven't received any notification/email regarding it.

2. I can't login yet.

What puts me in doubt is precisely the fact that I haven't received any email, whether it is a rejection or admittance, and that when I try to log in, clicking the button doesn't spit any message, it just shows a quick load animation and doesn't do anything else.

I can't submit another request with my current email because it already appears as registered. What can I do?

So yeah, og Cutey Honey from the 70s-to-80s-ish has been in my list for a while, and recently I came across its op theme, which I thought was pretty good and got me interested in picking it up later, but I found there are quite a few entries:

Shin Cutey Honey: A sequel according to myanimelist, aired around 1994

Cutey Honey F: An alternative version aired in 1997

Re:Cutey Honey: Another alternative version aired in 2004

Cutey Honey Flash Movie: heh

Of course for now I want to start with the og series, but I'm interested in picking up each of these entries, so, what order do you suggest me to do so?

I think axiom should fit, but according to its official definition, an axiom is a statement that is taken to be true, and as far as I know, a word can't make an statement by its own.

And which of them are a better alternative than subscribing to a specific community here at lemmy.world?
