I'm mainly irritated about all the manga Cause I have a habit of only bookmarking after i read the first few chapters And most of it was stuff I hadn't read at all
Only books i could immediately remember are goodstein's states of matter and mathematician's lament. You would probably recognize the opening paragraph of goodstein's.

is the name behind the D in Monkey D Luffy's name revealed, or is it gonna be a "but that's... no, it can't me... that's the name of the Pirate King himself!" later down the line?
Anno
The D has already kinda been revealed to be carried by those with "The Will of D" or something, which is kind of fuzzy but seems to be implicit of some innate power of leadership and charisma It's not simply a bloodline thing though, although Luffy's dad, Monkey D. Dragon also has it But he has no blood relation to Roger, the previous Pirate King, who also carried the D
I'd argue more leader buff than hero But I think at this point we're more or less on the same page Pan could probably give you better information than me though
>>1051158 Apparently APPARENTLY he left all kinds of messages before he died saying stuff like 'im perfectly healthy right now. If anyone tells you I die of natural causes don't believe it"
That's just what someone told me I've never looked into it tho.
Overlord and Honzuki have really spoiled me Slime and Spider both DRAG ON so much, especially Slime gets bogged down in details that have absolutely no real importance, but then it'll skip past a buncha stuff that's actually of interest
It just spent 3 pages describing the mechanics of magical trains, using rules for magic that have not once been brought up, and likely never will again, and this is the 11th book But then it's like "the big political conference went well." and that's the whole summation of the large legislative body's meeting like what am I even really here for anymore?
S C
Spider similarly gets bogged down talking about how this or that skill was used to great effect in achieving a Thing, which made a lot of sense and was interesting for like, the first 3-4 books, but now it's kind of at the point where the main character is effectively omnipotent so it has no actual impact to it anymore Like of course you were able to do the thing, there's about 4 characters in the story capable of even considering challenging you, and one's a friend of yours
Anno
It probably makes more sense when you know the author of Slime isekai was an urban developer or something like that before starting to write So, like, their thing is all about systems and how much fun they are to design And they probably don't have many fond memories of bureaucratic meetings
oh, so it's not just the MC himself, but the author, too
I mean I can definitely understand the joy of basically getting on a podium and talking about the mechanics of this world you've made, it's actually interesting in and of itself, but it's just sorta unbalanced is all I'd be all for that, but it comes between very short and truncated parts of the actually Generally Interesting stuff in the story, so I'm kinda feeling my eyes glaze over because all my head can do is go "please, get on with it, please you're at the planetary stage in Spore and you spend most of the time designing new microbes"
Overlord will go into minutae and stuff too, for sure, dragging out spells and game mechanics, but it's usually done either as off-hand remarks, sparingly, or in the middle of otherwise very interesting parts of the story Overlord also very rarely just goes "I'd asked them to do this thing" and completely disregards all buildup for something
Another issue that comes from that, too, is that I genuinely don't know how much time has passed within a volume of Slime. It could be a week, it could be a year. There's no real feel for it, cause he's got 2 guys seemingly developing enormous amounts of very diverse scientific Stuff, but the actual plot elements that you know about before it's over are the kinda stuff that could be happening over a week or two maybe.
I don't read enough LNs to really know which is the more common approach to them, but I definitely prefer Honzuki with its extremely direct focus on the passage of time, or Overlord with its less extreme, but still very easily read passage of time. Like, I could tell you how many in-story months have gone by in Honzuki, with a +\- of like 3 months maybe since Myne first reincarnated. I couldn't do that with Slime if not for a line somewhere in the last few volumes that outright said it'd been 2 years since the nation of Tempest was founded. With overlord I can't really do that, but I have a vague understanding of it
Anno
>>1051159 I dunno man this one was a definite toss-up to me They were close to me for the whole ride to the station so they were in my periphery and I couldn't get a solid read on irony or seriousness

>>1051224 I like to do the Wordle on the transit when my coward-ass brain gets self-conscious about looking at weeb shit with random other passengers right next to me Or when I'm on the subway and I enter the tunnels where I don't get reception to do anything else on my phone So if I'm done it in under a minute, then I'm like, well, guess I gotta stare at random people now
Slime isekai is also a little strange, a bit unique in that it explicitly has other isekaiers mixed in, and some aren't Japanese But that mostly comes off as strange because the overwhelming majority are Japanese
It wouldn't be strange if literally all of them were Japanese, or if there was a bit of a mishmashed mix, but it's like there are 2 non-japanese isekaiers so far in the story, and one I'm not certain isn't Japanese but there's a very large amount of isekaiers overall And a handful are very stronk, at least 2-3 are somewhere around Rimuru's level, even It just comes off as a bit strange to toss in an American one off-hand, like why bother with that? It'd be perfectly sensible for Japan to just be the only place isekaiers came from, for Reasons That May Or May Not Ever Be Touched Upon But it kinda feels like you're gonna have to address it when you introduce this disparity
>>1051256 You can be as cautious as you like, but the person in question here had modded and been in similar positions for zines in the past and never had any evidence of embezzlement By all fair and reasonable faith in people, there was no reason to suspect them, and fair reason to trust them But I guess sometimes even then you get betrayed
if only we had some kind of trustless monetary system that allowed securing funds via arbitrary mechanisms beyond "dude just trust me im the treasurer"
>>1051268 its a shame this society is built on trust bankers emailing .xls files back and forth hedge funds manage these hueg funds in accounts with people whose job it is to be like "yup. money's still here" and other people whose job is to show up every quarter and be like "are you being good boys and girls?"
Oh, by the way, there's a thing about The Blockchain I've wondered a bit about, and maybe you know "mining" is essentially just randomly stabbing in the dark, right, generating a string and checking if it fits the latest keyhole basically, and if it fits you broadcast and it's verified, and you get a coin At a very basic level
But is there anything preventing you from skipping the verification part on your own end and just bogging the whole fucking thing down by broadcasting EVERY string you generate until one fits? Like is there a reason to check it yourself first rather than just fucking spamming the network? Am I maybe even mistaken by there being a miner-side verification check at all, and everyone actually just does this?
>>1051282 there's lots of checks otherwise the whole thing would collapse
mining is essentially this well first we gotta define what a hash is. a hash is where you take any number of bytes, a file basically, and turn it into a 256-bit number that's completely unpredictable, but based on the input file
so mining is basically first you gather a bunch of valid signed transactions from the people. you put those all together in a file. you then add some random numbers to the end. then you hash the whole file (valid transactions + random nonce bytes) this gets you a 256-bit number that is entirely determined by the above, but is otherwise basically a random number in the range of [0 to 2256]
so the way it works is, if this number has enough Zeroes at the front of it, then you won the lottery and can broadcast (transactions+bytes) and receive your mined bitcoin
so you broadcast the transaction file, and everyone who's listening hashes it real quick like, and checks that the 256-bit number does in fact have enough Zeroes this is a fairly quick and efficient check, much easier than mining
so if you were to spam the network with a bunch of random files that doesn't have enough Zeroes, the other network participants would be like "this guy talks nonsense, ban his IP" also you would quickly run out of upload bandwidth
>>1051284 Ah, yeah that makes sense I guess, actually I didn't know the details of how you actually generate the hash though, I actually just figured you were running a straight up RNG until you stumbled on the string that some encryption algorithm would spit out as "the solution" So you're not trying to break the encryption but you're basically trying to reverse engineer the solution string on the, well, private key end, though thinking about it that's clearly not really what I'm thinking of here But I think you get what I mean Sorta
Anno
>>1051284 I remember learning aout nonce, jn referance to blobs in jailbricking
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
>>1051286 >>1051286 yeah the hashing is key that's what grants legitimacy to confirmed transactions transactions stay the same, while the RNG nonce at the end changes, you do that millions of times and hope that you get a winning hash
Anno
>>1051286I sort of look at it like, understanding the hash tables in a inside out.
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
when you're mining you're not really using a public-private key pair, not directly. i mean you do need a pub-private key pair, to receive the mining reward but mostly you're just panning for gold via electricity brute force calculations
well, you also need to ensure that all the transactions are properly signed by each of their private keys, of course and that every transaction represents a valid ledger entry/valid state transition
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
there is a lot of confusion out there about 51% attacks if you controlled 51% of the network hash rate, you might be able to control the growth of the chain, possibly being able to censor transactions but you don't gain the capability to outright steal money from people every transaction still has to pass all the signature checks to be considered part of the chain
>>1051291 Yeah I mean it may have been a larger concern when these things weren't worth much and there were proposed use cases beyond just the coin value itself, but at this point like If you control 51% of the bitcoin hashrate, the last thing you want is for it to lose legitimacy, and you're already harvesting huge amounts of coins Coins which, should you start pulling some fast moves, will stop being valuable at all And then you've just blown the GDP of a small country on electricity for actually no returns
bitcoin is basically fricked at this point the 21M coin schedule is set in stone the memes are too strong to change that ever but once they stop inflating the supply, the protocol falls apart

Also I'm not super surprised that they overturned Roe. Having it be on the 50th anniversary of Title IX feels a bit too much to be a coincidence though.
I decided to check out Nagatoro-san because I hear in recent chapters she is losing to a good looking girl (Gamo) but I'm two chapters in amd really can't get into it. Senpai is incredibly pathetic akd it is a fucking chore to get through the teasing scenes.
Yeah I stopped watching the anime only a few episodes in It just doesn't work right when Senpai is an actual character At least the doujinshi are still around
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1051346 Works fine in Uzaki Although that's different. Really my issue is that he's too much of a beta It's not entertaining to see him get teased relentlessly because I'm not a fan of masochism
yeah I think Nagatoro is the most like, specific one of the bully-girl stories coming out of Japan Nagatoro just really doesn't work all that well when Senpai isn't actually the reader\audience themselves She's still pretty damn cute, but I can't be watching anime for the sake of a single cute character anymore
I almost bought a whole shitload of those "build" protein meals that are like a pre-packaged serve of meat and vegetables because they were reduced to clear But then If you CRUNCH THE NUMBERS Even at 50%-off it's still a rip off
Compared to if you just cooked up some meat and vegetables yourself
So i put 'em back on the shelf
I ain't no sucker

Really the point of pre-made meals like that isn't too save you money though It's to save you time and decision effort when deciding and making meals You're never going to do better money-wise than just making food yourself

so glad this AC has a dehumidifier option as well It's been raining all damn day and my window's been open so it's understandably gotten a bit more wet in here overall not really that hot, at least, due to the overcast
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1051660 You have your ac running with the window opening?
S C
I mean it has to be open for the tube to go outside it's MADE for you to have a hole in the wall, but it works fine with just having it hanging out the window too When it's real hot I can just close the window after it cools the place down if I have to
oho, each episode is 45 minutes long, so it's like a regular american tv show Well, all the more reason to expect it to get going within the end of the first episode, really
It's DEFINITELY that weird CG style they use on shows that actually looks alright, but it does have some parts that are seemingly animated in more traditional ways, and some that are like... the BG guys just fucking ran wild

S C
I just mean the character designs and stuff are all very separated into eras when it comes to manga, well, probably other comics too, they just tend to get live action adaptions in the west so it's not as noticable There's obviously gonna be outliers to all that, but it's still like there's distinct eras of design

My friend got scammed buying concert tickets. I told her how to get the charge reversed but I am worried that she doesn't know how to tell if a ticket website is a scalping website or an official seller.
>>1051692 I think it just comes down to them having a very distinct sound that's easy to associate with like, somewhere that isn't the woods where you go hunting now and then, and also every time they're in a movie it makes it a lot easier for someone making a movie to go "hey that soundbyte worked well in that movie, I'll do that too"
