Hobbies that don't deserve their own thread Anonymage 02/17/18 (Sat) 19:55:05 No.41994[Reply][Last 50 Posts]

Every other board has their own /general/ and it might be better to post about little known hobbies here, rather than have a new thread that gets 2 replies.

How about horseback riding?

Mathematics thread 1+1+1 Anonymage 04/09/23 (Sun) 13:14:05 No.64802 [Reply]

Recently I've become fascinated with tessellation and spent the past couple of weeks collecting pictures of mosaics from around the world. Eventually just looking at them was not enough and I want to go deeper, understand the geometric shapes and its secrets better. Not even sure why but periodic tiling feels like a brain massage to me, like I'm about to fall out of bottom of how I usually perceive the world around me. So I picked up the book Geometry by Cambridge University Press. Feel free to give a hollow laugh: I honestly thought I could just skip the math part of geometry (yes I'm an idiot) and appreciate its resulting surfaces. While you can do that, if you want to appretiate geometry even at a surface level, you need to know the bare minimum of maths. The book suggested a good grasp on the basics of linear algebra and algebraic structure. I thought 'OK, I'll read the wiki entries as a lazy primer' and quickly realized I forgot even the basics of mathematical symbols. I guess it's true after all, if you don't use it you lose it.

Long story short, I'm currently going through Pure Mathematics for Beginners. The good part of being dumb is when you learn a single thing it feels like a whole new world just opened up and it feels really good.

So yeah, maths thread.

ive been trying to figure out some math for working with game graphics, but im struggling to understand how i would use these pure mathematics in graphics at all. i am a mathlet though, im currently learning basic trigonometry, then i plan on learning some linear algebra and figuring out how 3d graphics actually work. eventually i plan on learning physics too because i want to make fun physics simulations but thats way down the line.

>Modern mathematics education is a disgrace because nobody wants to learn with dozens of tedious exercises
But that is how mathematics has been taught and learned for all of recorded history.

You cannot get good at math without doing math. You need a good grasp on rote symbolic manipulation at any level of abstraction to employ it in constructing the next.

i feel like i should note that i don't care at all about french language or culture, and maybe this is why i liked this so much. it glorified in a comedic way ancient france's origin as gaul, and made fun of modern french culture. most of the comedy was situational and via props and actions. it was just a good movie, but it was french so i felt like posting about it here. apparently the first movie in the series reignited french filmmaking and received so much attention and praise, so it seems to have become a cherished series over in france i think

Anonymage 03/02/25 (Sun) 05:15:03 No.68811

i started learning french in may 2023 with the goal of reading french philosophy and sociology books. i guess i got to the level i wanted to by a year or so later, but i got too lazy with just watching fun stuff on youtube like let's plays (in french) that i'm only just now trying to read actual french philosophy. it's going great, tho. some of it i find tough, but it's because the ideas, concepts, and arguments that i'm finding tough, the language itself isn't giving me any trouble.

i still struggle to understand very casual french, it feels like trying to understand a thick scottish accent as an esl. i could improve in that respect if i engaged a lot with it, but i actually don't care.

i'm also one of those who thinks (or thought) that the language sounds really ugly. but now i honestly can't really remember what it "sounded" like.

Studying art in an university just to draw anime sound like an waste of time and money imo.
>you may be under the misaprehension that you're not drawing while practicing all of that
I'm not, I do think that practicing fundamentals is essential to create a strong foundation, but fixating is also problem, I've seen countless cases of people greeting stuck on construction for years without making any significant progress.
>it took you 5 hours to scribble a doodle. I don't think your perspective on how long things do or should take is relevant.
Drawing slowly doesn't invalidate my opinions lol, Do you have any actual criticism or are you gonna continue being a crab?

The merit and quality of those guides and resources sometimes comes under fire. Loomis fun with the pencil like >>69751 mention apparently leads to stagnation, Drawabox waste your time by turning a 2 month course to a 2 year course.
The list goes on. Don't get too hung up on trying to find the perfect guide, rather just find what seems good and stick with it. People will always argue why other's study plan is shit, while how their own is the best.
They might bring up good points but it's not worth spending weeks looking for the ultimate best guide. Maybe spend a few hours browsing the guides and pick one that you think suits you the best.
For anime, learning observational drawing, basic construction and perspective would be a good place to start.

I'm happy to say that for the 1st time in many years… I've been drawing consistently! I wish I could draw every day, but work drains most of my energy. On the weekends though? I'm drawing way more than I've done these past few years, I got my hobby back. I'm glad I bought a cheap tablet and a stylus, the convenience makes it easier for a tired depressed me.

I do miss the feel and sound of the paper being "scratched" though, but a matte screen protector helps with that.

You are looking at opinions from the loons in the looney bin, or ones who should be. That is like asking a criminal/prisoner what he thinks about law enforcement and prisoner reform.

for what purpose? to share your knowledge or to use as a catalyst?
lately i also been toying with the idea of putting all the knowledge i have on various subjects as a grimoire-style book for others to use as a guide to understand the world, like the old books of yore used to be.
like this chapter explains in a simple way (but with load of symbols and esoteric drawings) how gravity and the other forces work and how to understand them in the day by day, meanwhile this other chapter explains evolution and how the environmental pressures shape it, but with drawings and symbols that make it look like the voynich manuscript.

I already learned how to make old style books with leather and parchment, so now im in the sorting-info-and-making-it-easy-to-understand part. any tips?

>If another covid like virus outbreak occurs is a gas mask a valuable item for personal use, and a good investment?
SARS-COV-2 is just the flu. Typical military gas masks use carbon filtration which doesn't kill all bacteria or viral bodies. They are for absorbing airborne poisons and heavy gasses such as ammonia, and particulate matter such as smoke and ash. A gas mask will buy you time in a firey smoke and in a cloud of mustard gas, but it won't save you from anthrax or the plague.
