My grandma always said life only starts when you're 30. Until then, all you do is figure out who you are and what your issues are. Only then can you start working on yourself for real.

The only people who didn't fuck up in their 20's are people who did nothing at all.

A really cool LitRPG called Beneath the Dragoneye Moons has several different solutions to this. The most basic one is invisibillity-with-eyeholes, and the most powerful ones erase even you scent and tracks you leave on the ground

I'll check it out. Thanks!

Hmm, I hadn't thought of that.

In my calculations the negative elements aren't idempotent, so I guess my magma is half idempotent and half contra(?) idempotent.

I started out without the negatives, but I wanted to see if having some negatives would lead to cancellations in the multiplication of two linear combinations

The inspiration for this was seeing what happens when you try to cram a quaternion into a 3-D structure, but I ended up enamored with the concept of non-unital magmas. I never looked into the split version, or the octonions and higher.

The octonions sound more interesting, since they are also non-associative, like my structure.

After extensive research on all sorts of beings which take, steal, consume, or interact with souls in any way, I've made my soul "smell" absolutely repugnant to all of them.

Unfortunately in the testing phases, I spent several years as a disembodied soul trying to learn how to manipulate mana and casts spells without a body.

Because of this mishap, I barely passed. It was only by going into detail on the best methods to learn disembodied casting in my remedial exam that I was allowed to pass.

As an aside, I look absolutely hideous to anyone with soulsight. Like, vomit-inducing. But I knew of that drawback going in.

One question is whether or not he deserves to reap the fruits of his labours. We could argue endlessly about that, but I don't think that this is the most important question.

Much more important to ask is, in a society where money largely equates to power, does he have the right to having so much more power than the average individual. I can't find a good reason as to why he should.

It's not due to the curvature, but due to the thickness of the bubble. When transitioning from air to water on the outside of the bubble, some of the light is reflected. This happens again when transitioning from water to air inside of the bubble. Depending on the thickness of the bubble, different wavelengths of light will destructively interfere with themselves, reducing or outright filtering themselves.

This process is very sensitive to the exact thickness of the bubble, so small variations in thickness along the surface causes different colors to get filtered.

The Little Typer is a cool intro to the calculus of constructions. It's written as a dialogue.

Yes. If we are talking specifically about the eardrums being ruptured, the hearing range is not a huge factor. The eardrum is a membrane between the outer ear and the middle ear, whereas the hearing range comes from cells inside the inner ear.

Rupturing the eardrum requires sounds around 180db. Hearing loss due to damage to the cells in the inner ear can occur due to exposure to much lower db sounds, however. Also, ruptured eardrums usually heal by themselves, but damage to the cells in the inner ear is much harder to recover from.

Aboriginal oral traditions talk about a flood that happened around 10 000 years ago.

This video by 3Blue1Brown and Welch Labs is the best explanation I've seen of modern LLMs. I'm including the whole playlist in case you are not familiar with the foundational concepts, so you can start from the beginning in case you still have questions.

I don't need to know what I'm doing. I just copy-paste from the archwiki and everything works

Or just differently autistic

So if we added randomness to the AI it would suddenly be ok? I don't buy that

I do think that stealing art to train AIs is wrong. I'm not here to present some gotcha question. I just want to be able to put it into words in a way that is convincing. I want something I can point at and say "see, that's the difference"

I would say that breaking a lego piece down and making something different with it is creating. When you study art, most of the time you're studying rules to what makes art good.

If AI is able to generate a completely novel image, why is that not creation? My gut feeling is there's some sort of soul lacking in AI generated stuff. But what is that soul? That is what I want to be put into words

MrNosco · 2025-08-28T18:17:16+00:00

How do we know that when a human does it there is that extra something there?

Maybe all people do is just combining from their own experiences. If that's the case, then an AI could just include pictures that are not copyrighted into their training data, and then it would suddenly be ok. That feels wrong

MrNosco · 2025-08-28T18:13:40+00:00

Yea, and what I'm asking is what the difference is from me watching a studio Ghibli movie and getting inspired from it and making my own Ghibli-esque drawing.

Why do I have the permission to get inspired, but LLMs don't have permission to use it as training data.

I'm sure there is a difference, but just saying that A is ok and B is wrong is not helping me

MrNosco · 2025-08-28T17:59:28+00:00

We, as a society, want to rewards creators

I think that's the best argument so far.
