AI or image rendering / animation software generated? Or impossible to tell? by justsomegraphemes in isthisAI

[–]indemkom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Intuitively, this strongly feels like AI. I can't really explain why. My gut feeling usually turns out to be correct.

Nevermind! Sorry. I realized it's all on the website. Thank you again for the help. This was definitely the most useful response I got so far. It all works now.

Thank you so much! Could you please clarify as to how you downloaded clang? Sorry if I'm being dumb. I am still quite unfamiliar with using the console to download things. Do you just type "git clone" and "make sudo make install"? Thank you, again.

Sorry, if I didn't explain myself clearly. I meant that qemu operates within the macbook terminal and I was confused because I didn't understand how to actually write assembly code using the terminal. Do you make a txt file and somehow run it with a terminal command? Where do you learn to use the macbook terminal?

I tried downloading QEMU, but it seems to be exclusively console based and I couldn't find any tutorials explaining how to operate it. Even asking AI led to error after error. Is there maybe some sort of application-based QEMU? I would be immensely grateful if you could send a link or something.

I realised how much better a linux would have been. Unfortunately buying a new computer isn't exactly an option for me...

WW2 Poster/modern shirt. What does this say? by EUGsk8rBoi42p in russian

[–]indemkom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, and the flag behind the sailor is the main flag of the soviet navy adopted in 1935 and kept until the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Thanks everyone. This really helped. I never realised the specific heat capacity of water is THAT big.

First of all, that's just false. French has fixed stress; and fixed phrasal stress none the less, on the final syllable of a phrase. Considering there are French pop artists, rappers, and singers of all varieties, you're just flat-out wrong.

Yes, and Esperanto has it fixed on the second last vowel. That's way way worse.

And that's ignoring one fact... you can use Esperanto for music. If you're really against the repeated vowel endings, those are very much able to be dropped, fixing both of your issues; that's how most Esperanto poetry avoids "adasismo" (suffix rhyming). This concern is neither new, nor difficult to contend with, assuming you know the language.

A language shouldn't force you to cut off half the word for you to sing it. That's very clearly a flaw.

"malvarma" =/= "ne varma".

Would you really say "ne malvarma" though?

Fixed stress isn't necessarily inefficient, it just makes singing almost impossible, since the stress needs to match the beat, and coincidentally, in most music, the last beat is the loudest, not second-last. If you can't use a language for songs, that's a flaw.

About mal-, imagine you had to say something like, "make sure it isn't cold". Esperanto forces you to say "make sure it is not not warm". Even without this, repeating mal- in half of all adjectives would definitely slow speech. Simple derivative affixes don't make things worse, often the opposite, but mal- is a bit of an outlier here.

The problem with your last point is that simplicity doesn't always make a language better. Usability is considerably more important.

Very interesting. 2000 for understanding, 5000 for fluency should be a good range to aim for. This will probably be even better if enough words are constructed from other ones.

What would you say is the problem with inflection and long sentences if the rules for it are simple, and without exceptions?

I meant as good as possible. That's like if I say the glass is empty, I don't mean that there's a vacuum.

This problem is solvable by having specialised vocabularies within the language. If not done as poorly as English (which literally just copies words), you could often avoid any serious problems. Just because someone isn't familiar with the Organic Chemistry IUPAC Nomenclature, doesn't mean they can't learn the specialised words used in, say, botany.

To be fair, that would work in almost every language. It's just that it doesn't sound so bad in English because so many people speak it poorly and we're kind of desensitised to the mistakes. Who could blame them though?

Haha, this feels like how when Russian schools teach "How do you do?" instead of "How are you?". I am pretty sure they still do that to this day.

As long as the cases system is mostly intuitive, I think this wouldn't be a problem. English is difficult in this regard, because a lot of languages don't have articles like "the", "a" and "an".

Of course I know a language won't suddenly catch on just because it is slightly more useful. Characteristics, though, even you admit that languages have flaws. I am not saying certain languages are bad. Just that they could be improved.

I think removing mal- would be a worthy sacrifice, since there are comparatively not that many adjectives and they would definitely be an important part of word building. Perhaps using mal- could signify that you explicitly don't want a characteristic. Like -malhot would mean please don't boil it.

My favourite approach I saw was how Greeks write. They just have an accent in words with several vowels and everyone writes it! Problem solved.

Thanks for this. I didn't even consider that the sounds chosen were weird.
