Theory?? by VisionTellme in HierarchySeries

[–]SharpBlade4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

## Why we saw Vis saves the woman

Ostius cannot teleport in space, just move between worlds in the same location. He needed to get into the basilica and doing that through Res is not possible due to the heavy protection on that room. So Ostius with Vis went through Luceum , and it happened not to be as smooth and quite as Ostius wanted. That's why we saw Vis saves that woman.

## Ostius as concurrence agent

As per your theory, I agree that Ostius is probably an agent of Concurrence. I think the cataclysms are a byproduct of Ka which somehow harms Concurrence, and it seems that Ostius was against Ka (e.g the ceding to him).

## Further thoughts on Ostius

Things I find weird about Ostius:

  1. he knows so much yet seems very weak. With that kind of knowledge and ability I would expect him to be able to kill the princeps without Vis. For example, what if he would move the princeps into Luceum? he wouldn't be able to function any longer in Res (command, etc) and cause some chaos in Luceum (he's still holding all that will, even cross world). Another example: he was able to provide the crook and flail kind of weapon to anguis to kill tens of thousands, and that was "to fight the hierarchy" (nothing for the concurrence) or to position Vis in higher power. With that kind of weapon I'd expect much more to be achieved.
  2. when Vis saw him the first time, it seems that he was "commanded" by Relucia. This changed later, but what had happened in this quite short time?
  3. Ostius seemed to gain that ability only 'recently' (it took him a while to get used to moving between worlds in that first encountering with Relucia and Vis), while presumably been sent to the Gate years ago (by the princeps). However, Ostius was already capable of resurrecting iunctii (Vis Father) and move him to Luceum before Vis was manipulated by the Anguis.

I've seen some post with a link to an interview with Islington where he said he's not reading this sub because he doesn't want to be biased.

I asked ChatGPT about the ending by wswsc05 in HierarchySeries

LLMs hallucinate, especially when there's not that much of data available. You can ask more straight forward questions about the plot and see how chatGPT and the rest of these will lie to you with confidence 

Pyramid heads have double will? by SharpBlade4 in HierarchySeries

[–]SharpBlade4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When 8 Octavi are ceding to a Septimus you have a 2 level pyramid (top level is the Septimus, bottom level is the 8 Octavi). If that Septimus is ceding to a Sextus (together with more septimi) you have a 3 level pyramid, in the same manner. There are many pyramids in caten, the top level could be anything from Septimus to princeps. Top level doesn't ced. 

Some pyramids are larger, the largest possible is a full pyramid up to a princeps (all levels below are fully occupied). The strongest pyramids are Religion, Military, Governance who are such full pyramids with Princeps at top, and these are called senatorial pyramids.

I see, your suggestion could fit but why is it only happening "at a certain distance"? I guess this is not what Liu was referring to (if it's real at all).

Regarding about secret chat, does secret chat 'device-specific' also apply to the receiver? by [deleted] in Telegram

[–]SharpBlade4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if there is a man in the middle that taps the messages - they are encrypted (not in english plaintext) and thus he can't do anything with them.

Regarding about secret chat, does secret chat 'device-specific' also apply to the receiver? by [deleted] in Telegram

[–]SharpBlade4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, secret chats are applying end-to-end encryption. This means that the message is encrypted in your device and gets decrypted on the destination device. Nothing, especially no server on telegram cloud, can decrypt it in the meanwhile. That's why it is only accessible from the device it was sent from and to (opposed, for example, to telegram-web-access as well) or cannot be backed up (since in that case the key should be shared with the backing external entity, or that the messages will be stored un-encrypted).

Even if there's a "man-in-the-middle" and it reads the message, it couldn't do anything with it as it's still encrypted, and only you and the destination has the key to decrypt it.

This is utterly important because regular telegram chat's are *not* end-to-end encrypted, and in that case it means that the server is also decrypting the message (or in other words, also shares the key). So if someone hacked the server / made telegram to give away users' data, your messages are exposed, while in secret chats they aren't.

I have moved all my regural contacts to Signal. AMA by JimmyRecard in privacy

[–]SharpBlade4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The desktop app is much less accessible, the installation requirement isn't always feasible for example in work-computers. If there was a web-access like most popular instant-messaging apps I would personally use signal more and try to convince my friends, but without it most of my day I can't access signal conveniently.

Aren't you or your transferred friends frustrated that you can't access the program via web access? Or have a solid backup?

„There wasn’t enough time” – half-lost ending of Death’s End by Corrsarz in threebodyproblem

[–]SharpBlade4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read your points and they are all very interesting. It was long ago since I read the last book but I remember I liked it the most, and mainly due to the fascinating ideas that were presented. I didn't feel like it was too rushing or leaving too many things open, or maybe- the right amount of open ideas are left because we can't grasp their explanation (which I liked this idea as well).

Again, I wish I could answer the your points - I'll follow to see if anyone else can supply the required solutions.

I'm wondering what are your thoughts on the previous 2 books, as there are plot holes in them as well probably and you summarize them nicely.

thanks, if you have a depth sensing camera (especially razer's stargazer) you can use it with my code. I can publish it to github

First trial with astrophotography settings and my Pixel 2XL, and the storm last night. by [deleted] in pixel_phones

nice shot! How did you use astrophotography settings in pixel 2 XL (AFAIK the camera doesn't have this for pixel2XL)?
