if and when the facial tracking and rendering software gets so good that it is like pixar level facial animation with no errors then i would maybe watch one so long as they're not just making [LOUD NOISES] constantly

maybe you should try listening to them first...

nah i'm so far unimpressed with the clips i've seen
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1137219 probably because youve mainly seen HoloEn, NijiEn and Phase clips

like literally all i watch now is NL, vinny, and once in a while maybe a maya animal sanctuary stream or a random chess segment >>1137223 that's kinda true yea i don't watch vinny very much anymore tbh the brainrot is too much for me
one of his associates became a vtuber dunno her real name but she goes by Limes

I know about limes i don't care for her streams she's just a typical streamer

ah wait do you know the vtuber (sort of) who does weird experiments and builds weird contraptions in his basement?
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
no i don't watch vtubers like i said

ya I seen who your talking a bout he built some kind of assassin spipy cup
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
well, he is not a typical streamer
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
he built a twitch chat controlled cooking robot and cooked something in his bathtub and made a device that chops off your hand if you take too much Halloween candy and cooked chicken in a toilet and smoked 500 cigarettes (fake cigs)
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
ew i think i saw some mentions of that on the twitters
Anno
>>1137231 no chicken robots were harmed in the making of this film
Rei !p8eYCadcMo

can't remember what volume I was on, so I guess I'll be starting honzuki over again on the train lotta time to kill after all see if I can't download a lot of my spotify playlist too while I'm getting to the train station, so it doesn't cut out in tunnels and stuff

I've been working from home a lot recently and I finally got around to doing some deep cleaning. Just a little bit every few days. I have to do the bathroom and finish the kitchen, and then I'll have done everything. Other than getting another bookshelf. It's super weird. I have some stuff to sell though.
Having an organized and uncluttered space. This is a first for me. In my life. I fixed up my office space to display some figures and other weeb stuff and had to clean a little to do it. When I did, something clicked in my brain and I felt motivated to clean everywhere. I've never had motivation to clean like that before. I usually just settle for good enough.
That's what's so weird, it's not manic at all. Like, I'm planning things out, getting the stuff I need over time, approaching it slowly, only doing a little bit at a time.

It's very nice! I'm having people over next Saturday for a Call of Cthulhu game. And on Wednesday, I'm going to a GWAR concert with some folks. I feel a little out of my depth with this kind of thing since I've always been sort of an outcast. Or I felt like it at least. It's mostly just people I met at work or at the temple. But that's still community, you know?
Yeah! I want to build a really big community. When I did that speech at that high school graduation a few months ago, that's what I talked about, building community.
I'm thinking about starting a Food Not Bombs chapter here, or maybe a food pantry. And I'm going to start writing some political pamphlets and some people I know are going to help me distribute them. Well, they might change their mind when they read the pamphlets, but that's fine.
i worry a lot about wasting my life but then I'll spend hours and hours grinding out useless character side quests on my chinese gacha game to get a few free gambling gems
life is a gift so it's not that you can really waste it at the base level but i think it'd be nice to squeeze the juice out of life, ya know grow and learn and expand opportunities and maybe find love

the bits of volume 2 before Lutz is actually told about Myne's whole isekai thing are a bit slow, but there's still some good stuff in there definitely one of my least favorite parts to reread though it's good stuff for a first read, but it's one of those "arcs" that lose a lot of its value once you've read it once
Always kinda wondered about fortune cookies Do they get the little notes in bulk from somewhere, or the whole cookie with the note already in there? There's no way each individual place actually has a printer churning out notes on demand, right? That's way too ridiculous But I could see them making the cookies one by one with pre-made little notes
Fahrenheit is like, "0 to 100 is roughly how good it feels to be a human" Celsius is like, "0 is water freezing, 100 is water boiling" And then Kelvin comes stumbling in, visibly drunk, "actually, I like celsius' scale, but 0 is a theoretical absolute 0 that it turns out literally can not ever happen, ever, anywhere"
Like 0 kelvin makes sense intuitively But it turns out the universe doesn't give a goddamn what we think, and 0 kelvin can't be done because at small enough scales, everything is rolling cosmic dice for everything including their position, which means they can not ever actually fully freeze

zero seems like a useful reference point assuming there's some kinda linearity from 0 K to 273
Anno
>>1137412 Yeah but you can't approach zero if you don't have a fixed point zero in the first place
S C
yeah it's definitely still useful it's just funny the 0 is not actually a temperature anything can ever be at
S C
I wonder what the theoretical maximum is though I guess that will vary by density and whatnot, maybe, but there's gotta be one for any given clump of matter, right? Cause heat is just the movement of the Stuff, and there is a speed limit, so there's an upper limit even if it's absurdly high
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i feel like there's knly so much energy you can add to an atom before it either explodes and releases it everywhere, or turns into a black hole
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
the maximum is uh I guess it depends on the material from one definition anyways cause there's a few different ways to derive it
>>1137419 yeah figured it'd depend on the particular thing I'd guess the denser something is, the lower the theoretical maximum temperature, generally or maybe the other way around
this is obviously entirely ignoring the whole "will it even literally hold together" thing, since I imagine like samu said, once you pump enough juice into something, there comes a point where it's just too much and it rips itself apart with the combined force of all that motion
Which I mean, that IS a maximum temperature, for sure, it's just not quite what I mean I mean more like, the upper limit as a result of the particles involved only being physically able to go so fast, so even if you could pump more "heat" in, it wouldn't actually do anything cause they're already pushing the speed limit Like if every particle in some Thing was bouncing around at c, obviously it can't actually get any hotter cause what would that even mean?
S C
though I guess that's to some degree tautological because I mean no duh you can't actually add more energy, there are particles with mass going at c in there, it's already got infinite energy
but also we can define negative temperature (in kelvin) as being "hotter" than positive infinite kelvin because it's so "hot" that makes entropy flow backwards
S C
Oh, that's definitely uh certainly something I'm guessing that's one of those artifacts of the maths more than something that could conceivably happen though
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
yes
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
that's using the thermodynamical definition of temperature
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
don't ask me to explain entropy it's like notoriously difficult to teach
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
not as in difficult to go over the content but like tons of studies of undergraduate education in physics show that it is difficult for students to understand properly
theres lots of different takes but it sounds like you can actually just keep adding energy to a thing in theory, and it gets infinitely closer to vibrating at c
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1137433 yes, but the upper limit is c however positive infinite k has less energy than negative infinite k
oh yeah that actually makes sense there's an infinite amount of values between 0 and infinity, after all, so
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1137435 oh yeah I remember a textbook from a while back that I think you would like it would bring you up to a point where you would be ready for calculus
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
kinda like even if you keep accelerating forever you'll only get to 0.9c or 0.99c or 0.9999c
that's one of those stupid things I don't even fully get about c
Like, it's kinda hard to conceptualize the idea of it being a speed limit cause obviously there are like... a lot of things moving far above c relative to other things >>1137439 see I just don't get it
Cause I get that you won't be able to like, observe something going faster than c, through whatever mumbojumbo, but if I'm moving 0.6c away from one thing, and something else is going 0.6c in the other direction relative to it, and it can see us moving those speeds, then I mean we've gotta be moving 1.2c away from each other, right?
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1137438 there aren't that's a consequence of special relativity
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
nice thing about being in college is you go to class and the physics prof takes E=mc2 and moves it around a bit and combines it with something you learned last lecture, and you get a real intuitive explanation for some theoretical equivalence alas its been a long time icant remember any of em

>>1137438 there's an equation for it, galilean relativity fails at relativistic speeds

special relativity is hard to understand until you actually do the math enough I had a fucking bullshit problem about it on a physics exam that I still think about

yeah but it's real mean of her to make us think time is just like, time, and doesn't depend on anything
multiple digits aren't actually like, meaningfully different than single digit though base 10 is just a decision we made some time in the past, it may as well have been base 5 million, though we'd still call it base 10
Rei !p8eYCadcMo

or even better, use a transcendental base instead of an algebraic one

>>1137464 that's not true I came up with a paper idea for a while back that hadnt been done before only reason I didnt write it is because the mathematical redult *result I needed was in a dissertation from someone who never completed their PhD program so I don't know if its a valid result or not. and obviously the math was too complicated for me to check the veracity of the proof.
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
I should probably email them and maybe their former advisor

there was also a paper that I never got around to doing the math for that I was invited to publish by the lead editor of a math journal

>>1137468 well the second paper I mentioned the journal is for undergraduate research I can't submit to it if I'm not in an undergrad program so I dropped it when I dropped out of uni last year

it wasn't actually terribly difficult work either, just complexity analysis on some algorithms that were developed before complexity analysis as we know it existed it was a problem listed in a book of open problems

yeah the farming aspect alone of Elin is super in depth There's a TON of foods you can grow, and they're all actually useful in different ways Like, corn is good for perception, so I've bred a strain of corn that has even more perception buffs, and now I'm slowly increasing the amount of them I'm growing But like, bananas are great for magic, so I'm trying to get a strain of banana trees with more magic related buffs There isn't one superfood you just use exclusively, you gotta diversify your farm to get good stuff
And I really like that
S C
I'm not entirely sure how to produce seasonings myself though, but I do have some residents who passively generate random seasonings each day, or at least they have a chance to I gotta figure out how to make specific seasonings, cause those add even more stat buffs to food when cooked and of course, that means you want particular seasonings for particular foods Like sugar or salt goes super well with bananas because salt and sugar also buff magic Salt I can at least get somewhat reliably by just going out and mining it at the coast, but it's still a bit of a trip so it's a little annoying

I'm also making honey, though I don't have a real use for those yet I just happened to come across the rare crafting mats for it while dungeoneering, so I figured I may as well get it made I wonder if honey wine is valuable...
>>1137609 naw also turns out honey wine is actually quite valuable until I figure out what to use honey for otherwise, I think the honey wine can pay my taxes, at least
though, now comes the truly grindy part of the game I gotta gather up a buttload of seeds, and start rolling the dice to get a good strain of each Ideally you want a modifier that supplements the plant's pre-existing stats, rather than creating some sort of all-in-one plant it can be done, it's just time consuming

Anno
Played it for a bit team work is all good but thought it would have been cool with many other modes
S C
>>1137621 the way it works is when you plant \\\ When you harvest a seed you planted in your base, you have a chance to upgrade it, which gives it a +X modifier That +X is down one of several paths, chosen at random And once it's down one of them, it will never go back to another one Which means you need pure, unupgraded seeds to roll the dice until you get at least one in the line you want, and then you can use that to get more seeds of that line, while you burn or otherwise dispose of the unwanted modifiers
Initially it might seem like you can just get one of each line and send it, but that's difficult for a few reasons First, each type, and each + level, of the harvested product, only stacks with identical ones, meaning you'll fill up all your storage And secondly, the automated farming option in your base tends to unify your crops of the same species over time, so you're going to lose some of those strains one way or the other So you really want to get the best strain for each plant, and then mass produce that
But for that, you need a bunch of seeds to roll dice with until you get some of the strain you want
Food is super important in Elin, so it pays to be very particular about these things
Isn't the question "are viruses alive?" kinda like... dumb, for lack of a better term? Like, "alive" isn't some thing we're trying to figure out the boundaries of, we set those boundaries entirely on our own It's not like there is some fundamental "life" quality we're trying to suss out the edges of, we invented the concept and it doesn't correspond to anything in nature beyond what we decide its definition is, so whether a virus is a living organism or not is entirely a definitional question, right?
I mean sure, that much can to some degree be said about most things, but I mean, when we're trying to figure out if something is magnetic or not, for example, that does correspond to an actual measurable quality of the thing in question, and it's not so simply a definitional question, because the definition refers to something we may or may not have the ability to be certain of, but might later
As a dumb example, if there was some rock we found, and we wanted to know if it's magnetic, we can do a lot of measurements and conclude "naw, not magnetic", but then later we could develop better tools, able to measure more minute stuff, and then we might go "turns out we were wrong on that one, fuckin' thing is magnetic actually" and it's not because we changed the definitions or learned more about what magnetism is or anything. We just got better at measuring it.
But whether something is alive or not doesn't really have an equivalent to that Theoretically sure we might some time in the future realize viruses do actually do the things we've defined as life, but that seems highly unlikely And even in that case, that's not what's being bickered about at this time. There's no real disagreement on whether it actually fits the criteria we have right now, whether we're right about that or not ultimately, the discussion seems to be centered around whether we've correctly defined "alive" in the first place, which is weird
It's like arguing whether we defined "magnetic" correctly after finding out that rock wasn't magnetic earlier. We can't be wrong about the definition of either, we made both up, it doesn't make any sense to argue the definition is wrong
Anno
I don't think that analogy really works Like, we can determine if something is magnetic or not based on concrete physics-based observable evidence I don't think we have a broadly agreed-upon categorization of what "life" is, let alone a list of conditions to reference to determine if the descriptor applies or not
