>Guilty is a searing personal record of spiritual and communal crisis, wherein the death of god announces the beginning of friendship. It takes the form of a diary, recording the earliest days of World War II and the Nazi occupation of France, but this is no ordinary day book: it records the author’s journey through a war-torn world without transcendence. Bataille’s spiritual journey is also an intellectual one, a trip with Hegel, Kierkegaard, Blake, Baudelaire and Nietzsche as his companions. And it is a school of the flesh wherein eroticism and mysticism are fused
Like I mean, take Small Saga, right? You can very easily make a good analysis of its revolutionary and partly anarchist themes, and those are both really good in that game, not to mention very overt. But does breaking it down actually do much at all? Doesn't it even somewhat lessen its impact in the same way explaining a joke kinda kills it? Since the art presented at face value just kinda tricks you into thinking it was your idea, while an analysis is more just "here, in plaintext, is the message. consider it"
In that sense I guess there is value in analyzing stuff with, like, bad messages Assuming that's true, I mean
Kinda like how starship troopers, despite its best efforts, ends up being a glorification of fascism when taken at face value, and its only once you actually start analyzing it you piece together it's really saying that shit fucking sucks, actually. Well, for a lot of people anyway, that seems to be the case.

I've got a ticket if you want it! It'll be me, Jan, ToN, and Jan's girlfriend. I got tickets for ToN and Pan but then Pan couldn't come so we've got an extra ticket.
Right now the plan is that ToN is flying in to me on the 10th and we'll drive up to Atlanta together. We'll get there on the 11th in the evening, which is when Jan is flying in there. His girlfriend will drive in since she's in South Carolina. The concert is on the 12th at 7pm or so. Glaze and Chastity are the openers. On Sunday morning, ToN and I will head back to Florida. So it's really only one full day of hanging out, idk if that's worth it for you. But you're more than welcome to come if you want to!

>>1132859 the first like, minute of it went viral so curiosity is killing cats everywhere It's really not worth giving a look though, and I doubt many people are actually watching it because as I mentioned, literally the WHOLE thing is in that exact tone of voice 2 fucking hours of "the short section where the minecraft youtuber explains the conceit of the episode" voice
Playing Star Trucker on hardcore really scratches that "everything is barely functioning, and only the essentials run at any time" itch a lot of sim games miss the mark on I mean I get the appeal of things just working, too, but if you're gonna have stuff like power management and toggles for individual systems being on at all, stuff like that, I do prefer it be one of those things where, at least in the beginning, you're scrambling around to keep everything functioning at all
Gravity? Unnecessary luxury, draws too much power Climate control? It's a toasty -20c in this system, just put on a jacket, that thing draws a lotta power oxygen? alright that one is an unfortunate necessity

You might want to check out Tin Can It's a game where you're the sole survivor in a space ship escape pod and you gotta maintain a mess of life support systems as they fail, swapping out hardware parts and other components to keep your survivability above water.

>>1132878 It's a scenario-based game and there aren't too many in the base game I feel it might've had a scenario editor though? It's been a while since I played Either way the later scenarios are pretty challenging with having to know what does what/goes where and also counteracting the hazards your pod endures So the game length is prolonged if you're someone who struggles balancing twenty plates at once
Man you're really screwed on hardcore mode if you don't minmax I'm only running the bare essentials, and I'm scraping the bottom of my wallet regularly Granted I'm buying upgrades and stuff, which adds up, but I think if you actually tried to keep all the systems running from the start, you'd go bankrupt before you ever saw an upgrade Everything eats so much power
I mean I'm ignoring highways, going direct routes whenever feasible, burning up to 150km/h and killing the drive assist so I'm literally just floating, not burning fuel to maintain orientation, which is dangerous but I mean... if I didn't do that, I'd have fueled up at least once or twice more than I have, and that shit is expensive At least my jobs now are starting to pay pretty damn well, I'm almost able to replace my air filters before I start losing oxygen in the cabin

>>1132806 did some one said >types ? I'm researching existng langs ( and ->:Maybe make my own), is 'weak' typing really bad? like, if I'll allow implicit conversion between primitive types, like 0 + "str" and some type casts. If a lang let developer type less, do less work, and minimizes visual load, why blame $lang for developer's stupid errors? idk
also, does anyone use any good programming fonts for static strongly typed langs, to make them more readable, any specific fonts?
I've seen people complainging about TS and moving back to js, mentioning unecessary complexity, type explosion, boilerplates
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
weak typing SUCKS accepting that kind of mushy code just leads to pain down the road make 'em interpolate their strings, don't allow 0 + "str"
Anno
php, js - two most popular langs in the world, and most used. weakly typed. if there is a bug in php\js\c - dev just receives more money from employer\customer for fix. good for economy. if there will be no bug == jobless developers. found a good site, you may appreciate https://www.grugbrain.dev maybe the only problem I admit of weak typesystems - harder to debug but if you count bug ratio vs code amount written, for weakly typed productivity seems better. e.g. more code written, because it's easier. bugs don't happen often. only some times. less symbols written/read == more time saved, more productive.

The film is pretty heavy. Everything is abstracted. Every single event, scene, even the shadows, everything represents something else. It makes it a really difficult film to watch. At the end, I was honestly confused because it's a bit overwhelming. I can't say if it's good or bad. I probably need to watch it a few more times!
I ate barbiturate. It would be nice if there was any board where I could speak with psychiatrist. It made me care less about types. Maybe I should get along with boilerplates. For most of jobs they won't allow haskell/rust, but welcome c#/java. I also, kind of feel kind feelings towards your community.
Anno
last language I worked with, strong static, didn't had a method to convert boolean / datatype enum / record dict / .. -> to String ; so I had to write such methods/functions for each datatype enum value manually by hand, it had 10+ elements. and lang didn't have much reflection , introspection , meta capabilities. (because such may violate strong static guarantees?) I had a thought to write in dynamically typed lang oneliner, that will generate statically typed boilerplate for me. meanwhile, one of such strong statically typed langs I workd with compiles primarily to dynamic runtime target of scheme/js. paradox & bugs in langs & vulns in strong static typecheckers/compilers are not final, there will be other another day.

That said, she said it wasn't a private or personal reason she's ending her streaming activities Although she also didn't give a reason (which is her right to do so), so it ends up being private anyway?
I've seen some people guess, since she spent all that effort making a personal 3D mocap studio, she wants the freedom to focus on working in that rather than having to give her time to all the behind-the-scenes stuff we don't see in running the EN branch But in the end, her reasons are a mystery We can just be happy she can return if she wants to

Also while Cover does pay their talents a base salary, I think the amount of money the talents earn is still relative to their popularity and the effort they put in Talents who are workaholics or streaming maniacs, or experienced massive success for whatever reason, do earn a lot of money (some of the Japanese talents have had taxes in the range of hundreds of thousands of dollars), but the lesser talents probably only make enough to live comfortably Amelia hasn't really streamed nearly as much in more contemporary times, and doesn't have any major work avenues like Calli or Suisei And she reinvests a lot of her money into projects paying community artists and tech like her mocap studio All to say, I don't think she's necessarily one of the talents who had buckets of money And she's always struck me as the kind of creative nerd to who money is kind of a second concern than doing what she wants

You know how we've selectively bred fruit and vegetables and stuff to make them better. Like old apples are all shitty and small and full of seeds. Do you think we've peaked? Or in the future they'll look back and be like >wow this is what people in the past used to call an apple. Look it still has inedible parts in the middle and it's small enough to fit in your hand. And then they've got their watermelon-sized apples made entirely out of juicy flesh. so sweet it tastes like soda and gives you diabetes? Are we headed there? Or have we already maxed out our plant rearing stats
We haven't even really begun directly gene-editing our crops, so I think we're not nearly maxed out yet
Anno
Well there's also a fundamental input materials and chemistry limitations to the thing You can bioengineer an apple to grow to the size of a watermelon and taste like diabetes, but where is it going to get all the nutrients and energy necessary to complete the process into a fruit that size? The limitations of a fruit or vegetable to grow isn't just its genetic limitations, it's also limited by the environment you can grow it in
Anno
just based on its genetic code, it's also limited by the environment you can grow it in
Well sure, but it's still the case we probably have a LOT of juice left to squeeze through directly editing the genomes So far we've mostly just been, you know, selectively breeding, which is extremely useful and has led to much better yields and whatnot, but I mean, directly slotting in genes for a better nutrient profile into already easy to grow crops would go crazy
Like that rice they developed with a lot of nutrients not in regular rice Of course, that's copyrighted and hardly a humanitarian effort, but the potential is there
hell, what if we "just" make the whole fuckin' plant, you know, edible I doubt we're there in understanding yet, but it's not like that's inconceivable. Plenty of plants are almost entirely edible, like carrots and potatoes, so why not like... wheat, you know?
S C
Maybe a thin coating or shell for crops that's extremely foul tasting, that'd go crazy for getting rid of losses due to birds and stuff maybe some day, it'll just be the default for our crops to be toxic to pests in general, but safe for us, so we won't need pesticides and the like They're entirely possible, technically speaking, even if we don't have the means or understanding yet

And I would guess the driving reason for wheat to not be entirely edible is that it already is The nutritional and caloric value for humans is concentrated in the threshable grains of the stalk (same with virtually any grain in common consumption), but there is caloric value in the stalk for animals better suited to cud-chewing Plus the dried straw is also useful for other non-food based purposes, so there really isn't value in trying to turn the whole plant into something agreeable for human consumption, especially again with the increased demand on soil quality the plant would have
well it's just an example, the actual point isn't the wheat
Anno
If your example doesn't prove your argument, it's either a shitty example or a shitty argument
S C
that's fair I guess but it's kind of inconsequential the point is we can do a lot with direct gene modification that would either be prohibitively time consuming or borderline impossible with selective breeding me not knowing exactly what modifications would actually be useful is neither here nor there, I'm not a farmer or a biologist
Anno
And my point is that ignores the chemical cost needed to develop those modified plants and grow the fruit >>1133093 Okay I can tell you're stuck on this idea and won't hear contrary Okay
obviously you can't create matter from nothing, but I doubt the stuff we've selectively bred over the course of a mere 10K years or so is the actual peak of potential crops in terms of efficiency and yield for any given plot of land It's a good approach, but it's, you know, inherently inexact
Even something like making the fruit bigger could be allowed for by just planting less of them, and the upshot is potentially easier transport And there's plenty of stuff the things COULD be doing given the soil they have, but it's fairly difficult to coax them into doing by way of just selective breeding
Like even given the raw materials supplied through fertilizer manually, you're gonna struggle to make your field of tomatoes randomly mutate to develop toxins that kill caterpillars trying to eat their leaves and stuff, no matter how long you try. It's just a highly unlikely thing to just happen. But if you knew how, you could just... make it do that
the more I learn about AI safety, the more I am convinced we must never, under any circumstance, allow an AI to make a decision
we don't even know how to properly specify what we want it to do, or how to check to make sure it's actually trying to do that in the end

it's kinda amazing that all the work Eliezer Yudkowsky and crew were doing 20 years ago has become the mainstream topic of discussion also some of the rationality memes like 'virtue signalling' have had some uhhh rocky fates

>David Shariatmadari writes in The Guardian that the term has been used since at least 2004,[8] appearing for example in religious academic works in 2010[9] and 2012.[10] ok nvm virtue signalling didn't come from lesswrong
"virtue signaling" has kinda fallen out of fashion now the corporations are actually woke, and the problem isn't that they're pretending to be humane, but that they actually are

This wedding, right; I was always going to go to the reception, but apparently they want to keep the ceremony really small and tight-knit. basically just family. But my friend told me they're having 30 people at the ceremony and I'm lucky number 30th. So going to that one too.
I guess I should be flattered. being their 30th favourite person
and I'll be real with you, FAR BE IT from me to be petty and to let such things worry me, but I did feel ever so slightly snubbed when I wasn't originally invited to the ceremony in the first place. i mean we've drifted a part over the years but at one point I would have said this dude was like my best friend.
but you know. if you take the brides half, that's really only 15 people. Mother, father, siblings, that's a given. so in that sense, maybe I made it into the top 10
Anno
im still a bit sour grapes that I didn't get invited to more weddings
i went and saw the substance funniest body horror i've ever seen but i think it leans too far into being gross sometimes it doesn't balance itself well after the midpoint of the film
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i heard it was good
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i like margaret qualley (from death stranding) my guess is she injects too much of the substance and turns into Akira
i think if you like body horror, it's a good film for you despite its flaws it has this way of juxtaposing hypersexualization with horror that is very impressively done i don't think it measures up to a film by, say, cronenberg, but it does a very good job nonetheless
what i will say is that this is the first time i've finished a film that i thought was good and thought to myself "i hope i never see that film again"
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
wow that gruesome huh haha i havent watchdd too much body horror i wonder how i would fare in theaters
if you want to try out body horror i'd recommend Videodrome it's my favorite body horror and as far as body horror goes it's sort of tame
i think body horror is easier to watch at home because you can like, pause it or look at your phone if you get uncomfortable and those little ways of relieving tension make a really big difference
there were two little old ladies in my showing that had a blast though every time something crazy happened, they were laughing just like i was or theyd be like "oh my god!" i was surprised they made it through the whole thing although one of them had her friend tell her when some scenes were over so she could look again. very cute

i generally dont have an issue with seeing gross stuff cuz i know its not real, or horror movies for that matter, but seein it in theaters might hit different
The Overlord movie is finally actually in theaters Well, not here, obviously, but it's already shown in Japan, there's a camrip of it already I'm not gonna fuckin' watch the camrip, it's got german subs for one and I speak I neither german nor japanese, and also it's a fucking camrip

build one yourself

nah, there been some existing solutions. I just forgot urls. I can build one, but don't want to do that, I have better thing to do, like learning VIM!
I've tried to find good IDE support / VSCode plugin for fp lang of mine, but no luck, but seems like Vim does have ready good plugin that will work. But I was emacs user before, so it's time to learn.
you know how getting cornered by the drunk uncle at a party is pretty much a cliche. Well I was approached by the groom's uncle yesterday and he struck up a conversation, and the dude was awesome. Most interesting person in the room. Worked all over the world, lived in Japan for years. Doing things with all these big famous companies. Married a japanese wife and was now living in Melbourne working as a consultant

I think buying this fridge pack of apple&grape sodas was a mistake because, as I already knew but thought didn't apply, my stomach doesn't actually handle apple juice all tha way they're good, though
I'm gonna try my hand at making a neural network I don't really know exactly what I wanna make it do, yet, but I'll figure something or other out Maybe see if I can get it to play minesweeper to start? that's relatively simple to conceptualize at least
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
ambitious goal! good luck
S C
gonna take a while to familiarize myself with this whole thing, turns out complicated stuff
turns out before I can even do this, I must create minesweeper which I mean, not THAT big of a problem, I'm somewhat experienced with python, or at least python-adjacent scripting, so I CAN do that even if it'll take a little time It's just a little annoying, though obvious
S C
well, it's a project I can puzzle with for a little at least inherently doable task, at least, I mean it's not like I don't understand how I'd do it, I basically just need to figure out how to coax the machine into doing it which is just syntax
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
syntax is one step mental models is another a practical workflow of developing code is also one
It's a pretty simple task, all things considered I just need to generate the board, which could really just be a string of like [0],[0],[0] or whatever, then I fill those in with mines, and then I count adjacent mines for each non-mined position, and present it to the player obscured, revealing the counts, or mines, as the player chooses a space to reveal >>1133292 well yeah I mean ideally you use like, a matrix or something for this, bu\\\ oh yeah, a list, not a string, of course, I meant in the colloquial sense as just like "a string of data" not in the program sense of "literally text"
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
you mean a list not a string i hope
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
board = [0] * 100
def board_index(x, y): return board[y*10 + x]
the classic 2d array
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
ok sohnds like you have some experience i would try to use proper vocabulary and not muddle distinct words, it'll help, no programmer would say "a string of data" to mean an array/vector/list, it's already got enough words
well my experience is extremely limited, I just have knowledge I guess, because I've tinkered on and off with stuff and kinda mind-mapped how I'd accomplish various tasks in programming even if I never went ahead and did it. A lot of it comes from my dad, who's got experience with programming and scripting, so he'd sometimes ask me like "how'd you do this thing?" while I was younger, just for fun, like we did math stuff for fun and whatever The terminology never really entered into it, so I actually don't know the proper vocab for most stuff, even if I know about various concepts that exist and how I could manipulate them
Python is neat because it's very human readable and you don't gotta compile it or nothing, it just fuckin' runs as is, and I like that Obviously it's less powerful than something like C++ or whatever, but it's still very versatile, I do actually use python for a few small things on my computer, like sorting my downloaded files by just running a script, small stuff like that on windows I used batch for that, but obviously batch doesn't real on linux
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
traditionally a list is not the same as an array really, but python calls them lists so its all good in this context
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i mean in python all you need are lists [] and maps {} anyway
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
and sets
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
ya C++ is a silly language anyway, so much complexity due to its history
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
the minesweeper flood fill algorithm is the hardest part
Oh yeah, true I'm sure I could puzzle that one out though, I mean CONCEPTUALLY it's rather simple when a space is revealed, reveal any adjacent [0] spaces, and recurse that for x runs
I'm not entirely sure avoiding infinite loops is particularly difficult though I mean if you want a limit so it doesn't reveal EVERYTHING that is adjacent to a revealed space, sure, but if you're fine with that you just run a search, for every 0 you check adjacents, and if one is revealed, you reveal that 0 you were on, and restart. After some amount of runs of that, it'll reach the last 0, and exit gracefully
But it's definitely something you gotta do carefully cause you could easily stunlock the fucking thing if you forget something like immediately revealing the newly revealed space or something
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
ya its just the problem of not looping infinitely and making sure you get into the crannies things are simple conceptually but the nitty gritty can. be a bitch
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
yea as long as you write to the "revealed" state as you go and check it as you flood-fill then you won't infinite loop it's a simple recursion really or one could use a stack
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
it's not about limiting to x runs though, it's about reaching the end, which you probably don't know in advance
S C
well limiting to x runs would be for the purpose of only fill-revealing x amount of spaces away from the newly revealed one, if you want that to be a thing, instead of revealing every connected blank space. it preserves a little bit of uncertainty that way
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
in that case it's a distance calculation, but yea, somewhat similar constraint
You could always just slot in a dummy [9] at the end of the gameboard for this kind of thing, I suppose whenever it reaches that one, it just goes "this is the end of the game board, task complete" because "9" isn't a valid adjacent mine count, those can't ever go above 8
that or yeah, just check "is this one the last space on the game board? if so, you're done" which is certainly more elegant either works just fine, the dummy 9 is just much quicker to implement even if it's ugly as sin
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
you could yea its more standard to do a boundary check really if 0 <= x < width and 0 <= y < height: # in bounds
S C
that and of course the 9 takes up a potential use case, for example you COULD have used that for a flag, but now flags have to be -2 or something
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
well you need a to cover all 4 sides in 9s too the search goes in all four directions
S C
Oh I just meant you search through the whole list from top left to bottom right, left to right, 1 at a time I'm sure that's slower, but that's how I mentally modeled it
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i feel like that would reveal everything immediately flood fill starts from the clicked square and searches outward
S C
only if an adjacent one is revealed will it actually reveal I mean maybe the minesweeper in windows does it more elegantly, but you could in practice just go "player revealed a space, do a full rundown from entry 1 to entry n until you reach the end" It might be slower in technical terms, but it's still gonna be so quick the user experience is identical
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
that doesnt seem like the flood fill to me, but i mean, its your implementation
S C
well it wouldn't update the visuals until it's actually done with my implementation but if you want it to iteratively update the visuals, you do need a better approach that actually starts from the revealed space
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
anyway, talking it out is good, but actually doing it is where sometimes you gain a clearer picture
S C
for something intended to be played by a human, you definitely want the sort of rippling effect you get by starting at the revealed square, because it looks nicer, but for something made just for a robot to play it, it's enough that you get the same end result once the whole thing is done and ready to present the next board state to the robot
I'll definitely need to just put it into practice to know for sure though I'm just watching anime and procrastinating, likely gonna take a crack at it tomorrow
Anno
before you create the universe you must first create minesweeper
