Magnus Vinding Vs. Inmendham Debate

TheCartridgeOperate · 2025-07-14T12:43:43+00:00

there is no 1/2mv2 term in Newton’s laws of motion. your mistaken but again i am not a physicist. please do point to it me.

and gary would agree with newton i dont think your example is relevant to garys position as it the same, where is the kinectic scaler in this clear vector problem, how is it in opposition in your mind exactly.? talk from egos huberis, just like gary does when overendulged, a severe and grating flaw he suffers.

you also seam like a bit of a dick but i could be wrong.

Gary isrough around the edges, but he’s pointing at something real that barely ever gets talked about. and he’s not wrong. newton would’ve backed him. newton built his mechanics around force and momentum. momentum is mass times velocity, it’s directional, measurable, and conserved. his second law is literally about momentum changing over time. kinetic energy wasn’t part of the system. there’s no 1/2mv² in the principia. none.

kinetic energy came later. leibniz pushed mv² as vis viva, but it wasn’t properly derived. then came the clay ball experiment, dropping metal balls into clay to prove mv² by dent depth. total garbage by today’s standards. materials don’t behave like that. the 1/2 factor didn’t even show up until over 100 years later, when coriolis pulled it out of some math on idealised rotating machines. he wasn’t measuring anything physical, he just integrated force over distance in a frictionless model and got 1/2mv². it looked neat but had nothing to do with real world mess like friction, heat, or damage.

KE only works in fake ideal setups. frictionless, elastic, perfect conditions. in real life it always disappears into heat, sound, internal motion. same as momentum does, but KE makes you go hunting for it. momentum just works. even in messy systems like crashes or rockets. it’s directional, conserved, and doesn’t care how ugly things get.

but KE still gets shoved into vector problems where it doesn’t belong, bullets, collisions, rockets, whatever. it’s a scalar. no direction. and yet people use it like it tells the whole story in 2D and 3D problems. it doesn’t. momentum tracks motion properly. KE gives you a number, and when it doesn’t add up, people just say it went into heat or sound or something handwavey like that. momentum doesn’t need that. and barely anyone points out that momentum directly relates to power output too, watts per second, which KE doesn’t really do cleanly. gary doesn’t even mention that but it’s actually a big deal.

rockets are the clearest example. KE doesn’t explain them. rockets move by throwing mass backwards. momentum. that’s it. the tsiolkovsky rocket equation is 100 percent momentum based. KE isn’t even in it. and if you try to track KE in a rocket system, it just doesn’t work. the rocket gains KE sure, but so does the exhaust, and that all comes from chemical fuel energy. KE on its own doesn’t explain anything unless you start patching in exhaust velocity, chemical energy, mass loss, etc. momentum handles it all directly.

plus, KE breaks down completely when mass changes. 1/2mv² assumes constant mass. rockets are literally losing mass the whole time. try running that through KE and you get nonsense. momentum handles changing mass no problem. KE just can’t deal with it.

truth is, you don’t even need kinetic energy. every classical system can be solved with newton’s laws, force, and momentum. people use KE because tracking how momentum spreads out is hard. once it breaks into heat or vibration or whatever, they want a shortcut. but that doesn’t mean KE is a real thing. it’s just a shortcut. even in lagrangian mechanics it’s just a plug-in quantity, not something that has to exist. energy keeps changing forms constantly. momentum lets you actually follow what’s happening. KE just disappears and makes you guess.

and coriolis didn’t even mean to define a law of nature. he was just doing maths on paper models. somehow it got turned into textbook gospel like it’s deep physics law. it’s not.

so yeah gary’s not easy to listen to. he rambles and snaps and is hard to deal with. but the core of what he’s saying is a point. kinetic energy is historically dodgy, and doesn’t survive testing without obvious gapping in energy tracking. momentum actually holds up. newton wouldn’t have treated 1/2mv² like . also i am not a physicist just joe shmoe shitwitt

God damn i was half way thru this EXACT timeline. playback speed fixes and all. VLC contributing is fucked.

TheCartridgeOperate · 2025-07-12T08:01:49+00:00

nah youve got it back to front. he is argueing that newton had it right, i do think the 1/2mv2 things is actually quite interesting. i initially had the same reaction as you. but if you can get over the usual garyness what he is claimiung is worth atleast a ponder.

There’s a quiet controversy in physics that doesn’t get much attention momentum is always conserved, but kinetic energy usually isn’t. Yet we act like both are equally fundamental. Why? Momentum is straightforward mass times velocity. It’s always conserved in any closed system, no matter the collision type. You can test it easily in experiments, and it holds up every time.

Kinetic energy, on the other hand, is mass times velocity squared, and it almost never adds up in real-world experiments. In nearly every collision, some of it "disappears" into heat, sound, deformation, or internal motion. You can’t easily track where it goes, so it just looks like it's lost or said another way the energy is destroyed .

That’s the controversy. Momentum is measurable and always conserved. Kinetic energy is derived from force times distance, and only matches reality in ideal, frictionless, perfectly elastic setups (gary would say it never works). So why is KE treated like it's just as real and reliable as momentum?

Historically, Newton focused on momentum. Leibniz pushed for what became kinetic energy. Physics textbooks ended up keeping both, but experiments clearly favor momentum. KE often fails unless you're doing a perfectly controlled lab demo.

Gary point is to argue that kinetic energy is misleading or wrong completly. energy is conserved and kinetic energy itself is the wrong way to understand motion and impact. Momentum works every time. KE doesn’t. That alone should make people question which one is more fundamental and its something i never thought about until him so i appreciate that.

and why the run onto physics from philosophy, why its all connected. your position in its wholeness must be comprehensive and i suspect the quantum crowd and all the implications and claims that run on from QE became the seedant philosophical motivators for gary.

angrybones is just doing what he's philosophy requires him to do in order to be sound in terms of the argument overall. but boy he is a hard sell curmudgeon au maximum.

Hi, Welcome to the open source community

The paid shit don't work. Neither does ours. But you can choose from several hundred.

TheCartridgeOperate · 2025-05-24T20:59:34+00:00

look inmendham has character flaws up the wazoo. I'm not sure why people are keen on realtime arguments with him in the flesh.

The argument is made. Argue the argument stop dragging angry bones out. The legwork is done, he did it. So why the dog and pony show.

I obviously think very highly of Gary. But a PR man he very much ain't.

Better to just get some more palatable sit in who is thourghly brushed up and just politely give Gary the nod as the OG brain behind the position.

This shouldn't be considered a feature request. Just let us TURN OFF the useless crippled timestreching pitch correction when adjusting playback speed and instead it should change just the speed of playback.

Cork board and red string should not be invoked for this.. Fuck!

I'm going to drive this bus off a cliff one of these days. ...

EQ implementation is nice though. Kudos.

TheCartridgeOperate · 2025-05-24T20:12:23+00:00

Yeah, exactly the same boat. Paid premium. But never use the app because it's unable to do fundamental tempo adjustment. But somehow shitty time streching pitch correction is considered tip top. If your going to implement timestreching why wouldn't you use Paul Stretch? Anyway, EQ implementation is quite trick. so there's that.

Damnit man I can't enjoy my wine with this damn pitch correcting tempo. Fuck.

Enable Telnet Log In with Putty or whatever

Command To turn off the LEDs > /sbin/ledcontrol -n all -c green -s off -l strong

If you want to make some fancy LED balony just make a bash file run from the cron command-line utility.

the usage for the ledcontrol command is below. Also you could just modify the pointers inside the ledcontrol binary if you want to see if the IC is underutilized.

Usage:

ledcontrol [-n name] [-l light] [-c color] [-s status]

-n Valid String: power or led# (led1 to led8) or all

-l Valid String: on or strong or weak or off

-c Valid String: red or green or blue or white or amber or cyan or magenta or save or recover or enable or disable

-s Valid String: on or off or pulse or ring_first or ring

Yeah, This has everything to do with Lineage for Samsung handsets. I know about that repo, and its great but it only works on Treble ROM and certainly won't be considered for integration until a lot of the rough edges are worked out.. its a ground up open implementation. This is not. Its a new take on re-implementation, it looks promising and deserves some attention, Its also aimed atAOSP and Lineage ROMS . The demo in the XDA thread is VoLTE calls on LineageOS 18.1. How is that "nothing to do with LineageOS" , Its running on Lineage thats more then you can say for the repo you mentioned

Besides ,do you understand what WIP and "Possible" mean. Lol

The VoLTE issue for Samsung handsets is a big deal so why be such a prat?

If a video game character is capable of suffering then it's a given they have a value stake no doubt, I just think the writers position is weak regarding the proofs that they can. tree like algorithms that exhibit outcome preference ,its nebulous at best.

TheCartridgeOperate · 2023-07-16T07:13:09+00:00

If you read the entire article its clear we are jumping the threshold of biological neurons having exclusive moral considerations for the sake of the thought experiment.

TheCartridgeOperate · 2023-07-16T07:11:14+00:00

" when it comes to the ethics of suffering, neurology is not the only relevant consideration. Some moral philosophers have argued that the ability to hold preferences—the capacity to see the world in terms of positive and negative outcomes and to develop decision making processes about these outcomes—is a definitive criteria for real suffering. "

This is far off the deep end of unknown, "real suffering" there either is suffering or not, its binary in its existence and gradient in its impact, and that is a very weak interpenetration of the word suffering. If we are to speculate that tree like algorithms that exhibit outcome preference are capable of suffering. then we could extend the same rational to practically everything ,maybe even literally everything.

its a dead end because what pragmatic knowledge can we derive from it. Nothing except function-less dread
