Piano told me she was dating someone. Which, honestly, isn't even that big of an issue. But the story behind it, and how I guess ... I was instrumental to this happening bothers me. I learned about a love triangle between the three friends that I go hang out with at conference. Literally "those three people that I go to conference to see".
Before leaving conference, I told that guy not to take a girl down a path that he's not even sure he wants to go down. And he told me that I was right and he'll take it seriously. The aftermath of which ended up with him not picking that other girl and Piano and him dating. I was the mentor of this I'm okay with it. I'm more disappointed in myself than anything. About the past X years.
I feel bad for Songstress the most. She really tried and it really wasn't working out. And now the boy she really likes is dating the girl that she considers her sister and best friend. >She took it better than we expected. Because she loves you, Piano. She loves both of you.

And what is t he optimal speed for example in most cars, about 60-80 km/h is optimal in terms of fuel consumed and distance travelled with said fuel amount.
Maria
there is no optimal speed you can always go faster
And then consume more fuel to get to that speed and travel a total shorter distance, though in shorter time Not a problem if you have fuel however, they live in a post apocalyptic world as scavengers so...
Actually not just a post-apocalyptic world they live in a world that went through the apocalypse, rebuilt to some extend and then collapsed atleast once more again so at the very least post-post-apocalypse if not more posts
Hmm 40 litres in the 2 tanks and about 20 litre/100km consumption in crosscountry usage would give them quite limited range, however I presume from the technical readout of the machine it to be max speed usage not "range" gear usage, as the machine has 3 forwards, 1 reverse and 2 "range" settings which also prompts >The vehicle must be stationary while changing ratio in the auxiliary gearbox. if they were in range setting, which most likely limited the speed while crossing the collpasing bridge, they wouldn't have most likely been able to accelerate like that who knows, havn't driven the particular machine ever.
>the term itself has become so ingrained in our consciousness, we rarely think critically about what it means It is not that this is something deep or profound, but it's just so correct across so many things.
It's like how someone tells you "Enjoy your meal!" and you say "You too." even though they're serving you. The phrase is nonsensical in context, but it's a reflex in response. Gratitude towards something being received.
>>347173 That is less about words, and more about customs In english you generally answer to something with "you too" so without thinking much, the most common automative response comes out. In other languages, ie. finnish, we just say thanks etc, so the "you too" in restaurants doesn't really exist.
There's a girl in a room and everyone outside the room only speaks Chinese. In order to communicate with them, she has to read lines from a book. So she's holding conversations with them despite not knowing what she's talking about just by reading from the book and responding to people like that. It's a lot more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it.
When I say it's like the Chinese room, I mean, we're responding to each other and holding conversations despite not knowing the meaning of our words. We just say things reflexively.
Can't say about english but I am quite well informed on the finnish language and its roots not to mention, it is quite simple language in terms of word forming at times.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
No >latin base word >france derivater >english derivate wich got influenced by the vikings >current word
>>347180 First off, you love words. That makes you exceptional.
You can look up the Chinese room on wikipedia, it explains it pretty simply, but it essentially draws the line between understanding a language and merely outputting the language.
>>347182 I kinda get what you mean, but it kinda just fundamentally is blanked by my mind I rarely speak without meaning, so that doesn't happen to me so much
Speaking of languages, atleast in most modernly used languages, as they have evolved quite long and especially recently changed quite swiftly to match the ever so global society. There are quite many hmm similiarities you could say, without them being similiar at all in terms of grammar or sentence construction. But it still kinda hammers the point of "we all are human in the end" Of course this doesn't apply to all languages spoken now, rather to the ones spoken in countries that have had the privilege of having the access to the top technological advances.
FormerRei@mobile
>>347183 Counter argument What if you ask the chinese room what its favorite food is?
>>347183 The room question is more of an issue about sentience and understanding, while the argument is presented by a language, you could apply any kind of topic that a machine can output, but doesn't actually have any understanding of Heh, you could actually apply this to some internet arguments, as people toss around ideas and concepts, mainly by copy pasting or loosely quoting them, without actually being that well versed in them. Are they not like the AI in the chinese room question, just tossing stuff at people without fully comprehending what it is?
>>347186 It can simply choose a food. Being able to make decisions on what's considered a favorite doesn't really constitute to having consciousness. It just means you can make a decision. Even maintaining it canonically throughout a conversation (I like apple pie. *minutes later* Yeah, that's as good as apple pie.) is just a matter of sticking to what has been decided.
>>347188 In general people will have to think about it some time and most likely the result varies every time asked Would actually be an amusing thing to gather a control group at say age 15 and then ask them such questions say every year for next well 15 years
Anno
I took the wrong kind of cough medicine and feel retarded at work now
>>347187 The lack of critical thought in one instance doesn't really negate your ability to do so in others. So while it looks like you're acting like a generic bot by spreading copy/paste concepts that you aren't as very well versed in, there's more depth within intention. With the Chinese room, you are given a part of conservation and respond off of whatever is dictated to you. People having internet arguments in things they aren't well versed in though are doing it freely based on understood information. What little of it was understood anyway. Even if that understanding is actually false or misleading.
>>347192 But you saying >>347173 is not really us lacking the comprehension of "you too" it is actually more so, that our brain fully understand the words and their meaning and the meaning delivered on saying it that it can do it automatically without you having to think about it it is almost like a verbal reflex comparable to panic trying to catch a dropped glass or the "aaah" shouted when something surprising happens our society teaches us, that such word is the msot common way to react, and thus the brain shortcuts and does the response, without the "thinking part" having much say to it but that is like saying that reflexes aren't actually part of our consciousness and that some automatic functions aren't well "us" per se And then it becomes more of an argument what makes the human mind the human mind and such bullshit.
FormerRei@mobile
Or hand it a book and ask what it thinks about it?
Kirara ๐ฆ
it would find the answer? that's the point of the chinese room it'd find an answer for the question
FormerRei@mobile
>>347173 It's not nonsensical, you're telling them to also enjoy their meal. >>347198 So it would find the answer to "what do you think about that book?"?
>>347196 That's why I say "Kinda". It's not exactly like the Chinese Room in this case. But what the room does illuminate about words is related. Saying "you too" is actually a mistake, but it's an understandable mistake. I don't know if CR really has room for mistakes like that (maybe) but what is important here is that there may not need to be an actual understanding of language for information to be conveyed. In CR, you don't understand yet things are conveyed. With 'you too', you mess up out of reflex, but what you are getting across "gratitude in response to gratitude" is conveyed.
>>347200 It is a mistake due to panicking like someone seeing something surprising happen, can say do a mistake reaction say surprise prank gone wrong by the surprised person punching the surpriser or your quick save attempt ruining the accident even further.
>>347208 Which is why I compare it to our interviews ending with >kiitos >kiitos like seriously that is how all our interviews end >thank you >thank you
"You too" is a reflexive response to kind words. Most often, we hear "Have a nice day," things like that, and we say "You too" But "Enjoy your movie" has a similar meaning to "have a nice day" but with a little extra tacked on. So it's easy to mix up your signals and reflexively say "you too: "
>>347207 Yeah, the answers would depend on the books that are in the Chinese rooms.
Koi-
anyway, I have to do chores and people are yellling.
And as far as I know, it is a quite recent thing an attempt to be polite or something. Though, who would actually end an interviewer ending it with "thank you" with "you're welcome"
>>347210 in here you generally say "thanks, you too" so it leaves you with the slight brief pause between the two phrases, to think "wait is it appropriate to say you too"
it happens here too, but quite rarer in general with out social autism, we just say thanks to any "have a nice day" or just grunt or be mute *our
and the word itself - kiitos - is a two syllable one, so it leaves longer time to think what you are doing and saying also saying "you too" literally would be really awkward, sinulle myรถs so actual forms are "kuin myรถs" same meaning, but literally then too or "sitรค sama" that same to (you)

>>347231 maybe in english it would work in finnish saying that is quite hmm maybe even rude in that situation you're like saying you are welcome for my presence and not thank you for getting to be here too but it still is bit awkward to see and hear it happen
>>347232 my answer was completely tongue-in-cheek but at the same time, tech people are weird It can definitely come off as narcissistic or rude but depending on the people there, they might view it as "self-confident" and "quirky" because they're all about giving themselves pats on the back for being like this.
Like you can ahve a sport reporter walk to the captain of a team during break and ask "how did it go" and such and then they end it with "thank you" "thank you" it is just so awkward and I don't recall it having had happened always I think it is a recent thing in cultural terms. maybe past decade or so And I think it ties into our general social inaptitude of "what the fuck should I say at this moment" so everyone just goes with safe "thanks" as they too have seen it happen, and it is natural to say

TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>347291 spotify and such maybe? or outright patreon begging
Anno
if it's anything like the old band hero games i used to play, t-shirt sales are the most important when it comes to making money as musicians
Anno
Most big-name musicians are contracted through record companies, which make money off their artists through a variety of means. There's still some monetary purchasing of records and EPs, whether digital or physical, but there's also the artist's image that they can sell to commercial brands, as well as non-music merchandise. Concerts are probably the best component for income for most artists though, unless they have the fame to -really- push those merchandise sales. Either way all this money flows into the record companies which then pay out the artists.
hi moe! i had my thanksgave finally i got to see my sisters and meet one's new fella and visit with my sissy's kiddos i actually feel pretty okay about it after how bothered i was all week

Maria
>>347317 why do you have to be caretaker instead of them
some people feel compelled to ignore situations that they don't like and other feel compelled to fix them i guess maybe their husbands played a part in telling them what isn't their problem and that they don't owe their mother that decency
seeing my sissy with a guy that treats her well makes me happy though he's a little metrosexual i mean, he dresses his lapdog in a sweater but it's cute and he really has a good attitude and supports her interests he went with her to a miniature museum which i was kind of jealous of -- i love miniatures

I always feel a little bad eating ribs. The enjoyment potential they have is really wasted on me. I don't like having to grab at the bone to eat the meat off it, and that sort of fatty "sheet" of meat right down at where the meat meets the bone is pretty unpalatable to me. And the ends of the ribs always end up being this weird mishmash of bone, meat, and fatgristle that I just don't want to involve myself with eating.
But everyone else in my family loves ribs so I'm stuck fairly frequently having to eat them, or miss out on a meat-based dinner that day.
I like a lot of the styles of cooking that ribs get cooked under. And a lot of the common and popular seasonings and spice mixes used in cooking them. Flavour wise they're great. I just can't stand the actual process of eating them.

It's way too dangerous to invest in though. Even if you were to invest today and it kept going up for awhile, you wouldn't know when to sell it. It's going to crash again for sure.
It's also hard to imagine that it will be allowed to do this well for very long. The ability to issue currency is one of those jealously guarded powers of the state.
Anno
I don't really know what states can do to halt the capacity to create blockchain currencies. Not without heavily policing of the Internet. Even China, which has INTENTLY stepped in to attempt to regulate this sort of thing can't impede the investment of its civilians in it.
I'm sure there's something the government could do to make it crash. I don't really know what that would be though, since I'm not smart.
Anno
I just don't think the ramifications of doing such a thing would merit the action. You'd have to inhibit people from purchasing the blockchain currencies, or seize the distribution of hardware that can reliably mine for the currencies. Both of which kind of have horrible other effects that would create an even biggerheadache.

hey cortana what's your favorite song >bill murray singing the star wars theme song
Anno
yeah gaming on linux is a pain in the butt mostly my biggest annoyance with windows is that it tries to update when you shutdown or open. Happened several times where I wanted to leave class and windows wanted to update also with the anniversary update one of my project members had to wait 2 hours for the update to install before they could join us to work on it, so annoying
Anno
I don't even think that's mandatory anymore. The last time there was an update my power off menu gave me separate options for shutting down and restarting or doing the same with an update.
Either way I've rarely actually shut down my PC; usually I just put it in sleep mode, which dodges the whole update request. From my personal experience I just haven't ever understood the update problems.
Anno
must be more recent then, sounds like a good addition
Anno
Oh yeah I'm pretty sure if it is a new change, it came with their autumn update earlier this year.
Anno
that'd explain it, been using leenux for 1.5 years now I think

why can't cortana open paint if i say ok cortana open paint
Anno
Because Paint is DEAD. DEEEEAAAAAD
Anno
yeah didn't they remove paint?
Anno
which is weird because that's like the best windows program
Kirara ๐ฆ
it's on my laptop
Kirara ๐ฆ
i don't think paint is going away until 2018 or something
Anno
I must be misremembering then cortana just sucks then
Anno
And even then it's not like they're depriving the OS of a painting program. Paint is just being replaced with their new Paint 3D or whatever software. They're discontinuing support for Paint because it's fucking old and IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON GUYS.

ok there's an yeah i can use cortana to open paint 3d
Honestly all these new character functions on /moe/ go in one ear and out the other for me. It's not like I ever do anything other than write in dry, unexpressive text.
Anno
how the fuck did you do that :**)

Oh and I'm getting a bunch of rpg books (6) in like a week. Cause my friend put off buying my birthday (Oct 18th) present and the publisher was having a huge sale for black Friday so he got me twice as much since it was 40% off. I selected a combination of items such that the price was a bit over $69 after discount.
>>347873 D&D circa 1974 So basically like low fantasy (magic items are fucking hard to get) but there are spell casters. Has a much heavier Appendix N inspired setting than any version of D&D since AD&D version 1. Appendix N is a section in the 1979 AD&D DMG that lists all (almost) of the written works that Gary Gygax considered to be a large influence on his writing in D&D. Also this rpg's judge (Dungeon Masster is trademarked) section recommends reading all of it. Err every thing listed. Which I'd put a llow estimate page wise of being 30,000 pages and a high end of 200,000 pages.
>>347884 Lemme check the list real quick Also I'm currently walking so I'll likely be typing a bit slower
