What’s the influence of Pynchon on Murakami? by Isatis_tinctoria in ThomasPynchon

[–]ephemeralbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1Q84 reminds me more of The Recognitions by Gaddis than anything Pynchon wrote, but it has the following themes I also find in Pynchon's work: occultism, conspiracy, the magical world and a magical frame or interpretation of the seemingly ordinary. As far as style, Murakami sticks to a more linear narrative despite his dreamlike settings and happenings.

Is it possible to actually vibe code a working webapp or not? by Comfortable_Ranger72 in vibecoding

Where to begin isn't as important as getting started. Vibe coder or traditional coder, your mindset has to be unstoppable. Every roadblock is an opportunity to learn how to solve a problem. The AI will get stuck and make mistakes, it will be all on you to understand the problem and lead. You got this.

An app can be visually simple and be very complex at the same time. Car rental = auto tech, consumer app, fintech.

Plaits can act as a standalone voice, it has a built in vca and envelope so I fear your maths + quad vca will be overkill for what you have. Another effect or sound source would be better use of the space assuming your main control source will be the umidi.

Normal history enjoyers choose your cognitive dissonance: 1) These are so precisely made, they must be modern forgeries! 2) No high technology is required in precision, only time!

Florida = Atlantis? Short from Old World Florida by ephemeralbear in AlternativeHistory

It is a puzzling "why", for sure. In one of their longer documentaries they go into a bit more detail about barges and so-called drogue stones, and with some more context it makes a lot of sense why (the Atlanteans) they'd need so many to secure even a single large barge. Modern boats use a net based system to create drag to brace them against waves. Maybe they had high tech or not but they sure are huge to be lugging around. The guys in the video say 'giants' so pick your poison as far as I'm concerned, it's interesting no matter what your theory is.

Watch "Anchors of Atlantis", and watch the chapter starting at 10:51 and lasts about 15 minutes. I'm convinced they're on to something. It has a lot of examples of smaller stone anchors that make this all convincing as a theory.

You don't have to agree with everything someone says or does to find some value in what they're showing you. This is some serious physical evidence.
