what does your body 'think' about you?
>about your management of your personal human organism.
>about your decisions on what to put in it, or on it.
>about where you take it and when and how often.
>about how you use it

i reject the normoid idea that the body can not think or have an opinion. electricity flows into every cell, not just the bracrabls. life and emotion are all over the body except for in those people who believe their body is just a machine used to park the brain in front of screens.

i do think the body is it's own thing and ideally it is in a mutual loving relationship with the brain. i guess many group-minded people who know nothing but war will have a hostile relationship between body and brain.

i take good care of my body and i love it. it has been so good to me and i always give it enough sleep and put good food in and exercise it and then when i am doing something, it is so accomodating, supportive and helpful. i can not help but suspect it knows me and happily helps me through life. i am fully aware that this is not most people's experience. but it could be most people's experience.

the body has it's own path too and if a brain can understand the path the body tries to walk, decisions can be made to help the body along which then lead to benefits for the entire organism.

i guess i am trying to say the potential for harmony within the organism exists despite so few people stumbling upon it. i guess the obstacle in reaching this state is the corruption process that seeks to consume everyone. those who can see the corruption in others have an easier time dodging it.

TL;DR AI got several points for me and I finally felt that the future is here! pleasant shiver


Quoting:


''The question "aren't you lonely" is considered rude because it implies loneliness is a negative state to be avoided, when some people are content being alone, and it can feel like a judgment on the person's social life. It also ignores the important difference between being "alone" (physically by oneself) and being "lonely" (feeling isolated emotionally). The question assumes a lack of social interaction is undesirable, which can be an uncomfortable and presumptuous assumption to make about another person.
It's an assumption of negative feelings: The question assumes loneliness is a universally undesirable state. However, many people are happy and fulfilled when they are alone, finding it to be a valuable time for rest, self-reflection, and connection with their "true self".
It ignores the difference between alone and lonely: There is a significant difference between being alone and feeling lonely. Being alone is a physical state, while loneliness is an emotional response. The question conflates the two, failing to acknowledge that a person can be physically alone but not emotionally lonely.''
''It can be a judgment on one's social life: Asking "aren't you lonely" can feel like a direct criticism of a person's social choices or life circumstances, whether they are single, have a smaller group of friends, or simply choose to spend more time alone. It implies their social life is lacking and that they should feel sad about it.
It overlooks the quality of relationships: The question focuses on the quantity of social interaction rather than the quality. A person may have many friends but still feel lonely, or have very few friends but have deep, meaningful connections.''
It is often perceived as a judgment on life choices: The question is particularly pointed when it comes to lifestyle choices like being single. Many people prefer to be single than to be in a relationship that is unhealthy or unfulfilling.

Unfortunately, you failed to realize asking "I hope this job doesn't make you X" is much milder in tone as opposed to straight up asking "aren't you X"

The dreaded "aren't you lonely" toss is like pitching a person into a fork of 2 opinions:
1. You are "lonely" and the person is keen to remember you as one, probably dumping unasked advice to run away from such "jerb"
2. If you aren't… "how come you aren't lonely?"


In layman terms, "aren't you X" is on same spot as "Told ya", "Drop this shit job", "oh frick, you must be crazy working this BS" and maybe even a sudden lifetime memory of "hey, Mac, we got a new office center opening up, you totally should join our crew instead" question out of blue

Here's the trick: if a wizard asks Bing "why "aren't you lonely" question is ugly" then said wizard probably already has some kind of predisposition towards "aren't you lonely". Perhaps, the wizard has already made up his mind the very "aren't you lonely" felt had just ugly - that's something Bing, an easily accessible search engine, would be expected to treat as something that bothers a person. Hope you understand my point. Welp, your point seem to make some sense too since some people tend to overreact to the slightest things- been there, had to through the hoops of improving my life.

How to get over the fact that you can't freely decide over your own body? Like I always wanted to own a gun because I could decide to shoot myself with it but I don't know how to buy or use it.

Then learn. Go watch a YouTube video on gun licensing and purchasing. Then watch a video on gun safety and do the opposite of what it tells you.

You're not powerless. You're either lazy or have been so indoctrinated in to the academic protocols of learning that you've forgotten that you can just learn things on your own without some teacher assigning books and lessons to you.

Yeah, before I knew torrents existed I buffered an episode of South Park for like 9 hours on RealPlayer (a very popular ancient streaming app) to watch it without lag and interruptions for 15 minutes.

I have become increasingly depressed at the state of discourse about almost any subject. Look at the opinions of most people and discuss their reasoning with them; they do not really have reasons based on experience or logic. They are just saying things they think are normal to say. They imitate others. They understand the world through memes. Zero actual curiosity or critical thinking skills when it comes to discussion of politics/culture/history/science/art. Everyone just parrots what they think others think. They think in memes. Partly to fit in and achieve social acceptance and partly just monkey see monkey do like a child or animal.

Democracy is a failure because most people have no idea what they are voting for or what the consequences will be. They just follow the cultural memes. The internet has exacerbated this. Most people’s political views or views on the culture are just glorified SIX SEVEN repetitions - people have no good justification for any of the ideas they follow.

It might sound arrogant and supercilious to say these things. I worry that I am not that different and I just copy things sometimes by instinct. Makes me wonder if the self even fucking exists and we are just biological self replicating robots copying things.

Depressing. Enraging.

Kinda amazing that I read Leibowitz in the same time period and i completely missed this thread. I'm down for the pastel city! The short introduction from wikipedia is really cool. I really love the premises of fantasy worlds with remains of ancient technologically advanced civilizations.

Well, holy shit, pardon my French. I didn't expect a response, and certainly not one just minutes later. Nice, thanks for that.

Let's give it a couple of days so more wizzies can see this post. Meanwhile, I'll be putting together the spreadsheet with the chapters and dates so we can all follow along. I'm already looking forward to it.

HEY EVERYONE. WE HERE AT THE WIZBOOKCLUB DO BE READING THE PASTEL CITY, STARTING IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. DON'T MISS OUT! JOIN NOW!

Check this thread if you want to know how it works. We did it with A Canticle for Leibowitz. It's quite simple: I post a spreadsheet with the reading schedule, and we all follow along. We talk about the book, but you don't have to post if you don't want to. Let's have some fun.

The Leibowitz readalong was just the guy suggesting it and me so it was not much of a book club. Are you the Leibowitz guy? I thought you hated the readalong from your posting tone because it was awkward with just two people. I'll probably join another readalong though because I like that it gave me a routine.

>do we wait until more wizards show up?

This place is dead but I think the reason you missed the readalong was because we were posting in the general reading thread. Maybe if we make new thread with eye-catching picture and kept it bump to the top of /all/ everyday you'd get one extra wizard.

Yup that's me. I didn't hate it at all, it was a nice experience. I had tried before with another book but nobody showed up. Leibowitz was a success as far as I see it.

Hey wizards,

Two other wizzas and I will be reading The Pastel City, a science fantasy novel by M. John Harrison, originally published in 1971.

We'll be following a schedule of one chapter per day. The chapters are about 10 pages long on average. After each day's reading, we'll come here and talk about it. I'll be posting a short daily commentary to help kick off the discussion, along with updates on our progress through the schedule. Of course, you're under no obligation to post anything if you don't want to.

We'll start on Thursday, July 2, so in just a couple of days. Check out the blurb for the novel:

A decaying world. Ancient powers long forgotten. An old warrior with one last battle to fight. The Pastel City is a mesmerizing journey through the ruins of a far-future civilization, where the remnants of lost knowledge mingle with myth and legend. Atmospheric, inventive, and unforgettable, it is a classic of science fantasy.

I'll be following along with this edition, which can be borrowed for free from Archive.org:

https://archive.org/details/pastelcity0000unse

You can choose a different edition if you prefer:

https://archive.org/search?tab=all&query=the+pastel+city&and%5B%5D=mediatype%3A%22texts%22

To borrow a book from the Archive, you'll need an account. They only ask for an email address and password.

Come and join us for some whimsy literary fun.

Chapter 1

He had made a hundred yards, his breath coming hard as the unaccustomed exertion began to tell, when the vehicle exploded. A great soundless gout of white cold fire, locked in the core of the launch by a vanished art, dissipated itself as pure light, a millennium after its confinement. It did him no harm: or none that he could recognise.

And here is the protagonist, tegeus-Cromis. He's pretty much your run-of-the-mill sword-and-sorcery guy, though M. John Harrison really puts some interesting flair and atmosphere around him. I like the tower looking over Viriconium. Even the environment is a mish-mash with pieces of desert, a forest of rowans, and the ocean close by, it feels like even nature itself here follows the "blender philosophy" of weird fiction.

As for Cromis himself? Meh. But I'm not really reading this for him, I just want to see more of the world. What you guys think of the protagonist?

These novels are weird for me. It always feels like something I've already read a million times but I keep coming back to it to find something special about it. Can't quite explain.

>>70751
Glad you're enjoying it wiz. You said you don't really read novels, but since you obviously play games like ES, I'm sure you'll be very familiar with plenty of the tropes in this. This is the type of book writers in those studios steal stuff from.

>>70756
Yeah, writers from those days really respect your time with the book length. This one is 157 pages long. I pretty much never read the new fantasy stuff because it's mostly just six books of padding and garbage.

I didn't see any cavemen myself in the prologue, but you know what? In this type of book you could always use some.

I always like these kind of world-weary recluse characters that had their days of glory and now just want their peace. The tower sounds like a very comfy hideout, I was already envisioning myself living in something similar as I was reading.

As for the length, when I started reading again a few years back I started with the Stormlight Archives, lol. Though to be fair, I only found the first book to be truly great (with exception of Shallans character, who just grated my nerves), the others did suffer from their length and everything from book 4 onwards has been very much hit and miss. But this isn't about that.

 No.70785

>>70783
I guess having an old protagonist is fairly uncommon compared to modern works and it can promise narrative developments like uncovering his pasts or something. I like the writing style. The description of nature was nice but nothing special, looking forward to what viriconium looks like. Hopefully it's weird and interesting. Also Baan is basically a lightsaber.

>It always feels like something I've already read a million times but I keep coming back to it to find something special about it.

Immersion? I feel like that's the basic idea of how these books work. They transport you to a different world.

The first chapter was okay, an upgrade from the prologue I would say. Less place names and character names to be overwhelmed by at least. I also like Cromis quite a bit so far, he seems like a chill guy. Quite wizardly of him to want to live alone in a desolate tower. Too bad the guy he rescued was such a jerk to him.

Chapter 02

About him rose the Pastel Towers, tall and gracefully shaped to mathematical curves, tinted pale blue or fuchsia or dove-grey. They reached up for hundreds of feet, cut with quaint and complex designs that some said were the high-point of an inimitable art, thought by others to be representations of the actual geometrics of Time.

Cromis meets his buddy back from "Round Table" days, Grif, and they start getting the party back together to defend Queen Methvet Nian against her cousin and rival Canna Moidart, who is mustering her forces to take control of the Pastel City.
I liked the inclusion of the megatheria there. Cromis has now been given his quest and a reason to journey around. Let's see where he goes next.

>>70784
Having a tower by the sea would be nice, not gonna lie. I mind length more than I mind a shitty story to be honest! Sanderson is not a bad writer but he takes forever to do anything. Let's be honest, it's genre fiction, we know all the tropes, you don't need 4k pages to tell the hero's tale for the zillionth time. I'll read someone like Moorcock even though I don't like him as a writer instead of a more polished writer just because Moorcock can tell his stuff in less than 200 pages. It's a prejudice of mine, I just have this feeling there are too many writers and stories out there, you don't get to hold me for 5 or 6 books to tell a rather predicable story, even if it's good. There's more stuff out there I want to read about.

>>70785
You right it is uncommon. I'm willing to bet though he's still the best swordsman in the land. I didn't realize that is indeed kinda like a lightsaber. This came out many years before the first movie, so now I'm wondering if George Lucas got the idea from here, although it was probably from that Fritz Leiber story where they use a blade of energy or whatever it was called.

Maybe it's partially immersion. I read lots of different types of books that also offer immersion, but with this gonzo stuff it's different. I guess it's because I've been also reading comics forever and comics in general come straight from the pulps. Maybe it's connected to childhood and nostalgia or something.

What is the average wizard's relationship with religion like? No religious person has ever been able to give me a good argument for why God, if he is out there, is not the most maximally evil being in the universe simply by the virtue of creating suffering when he could have chosen not to. Saying "suffering builds character" and derivatives of is just a manifestation of their stockholm syndrome for this vile entity

Here's a research paper from the Canadian government about the longevity of various types of laser discs. CD-Rs are rated as the most durable, even with the most common dye made today (azo dye, 20-50 years). Dye is extremely important and yes, you guessed it right: it was better 20 years ago.

I don't think AI will be around for long, and not for the reason people think.

AI is very old technology, the LLMs utilized are from the 1950s. When computers were first invented they tried using artificial neurons that learnt (the Perceptron). The problem was back then memory and scaling, you could get one node to learn but by the time it went to the next it started to forget. The hardware wasn't there. Because of this AI bots relied on binary tree if/else statements and weren't programmed to learn for decades.

All that happened in the 2010s was that hardware became available to stack LLMs on top of each other. The technology behind AI is veeeeery old, it's a hardware problem. If you're some nerd that reads into tech innovations you'll find the same is true for most inventions. Wood pulp paper wasn't suddenly eureka invented in the 19th century, it's that the steam engine made the processing of wood through mulching possible. The automatic threshing machine wasn't eureka invented, it's that there were dozens of invisible small innovations that fed into it that went unthanked, like the complex mathematic epicycloid calculations that went into the gear functions that some mathematics nerds and clockmakers perfected decades ago.

Anyways, the actual supply chains that are currently feeding the current top of the line GPUs and chips are unsustainable. They're spread across so many countries and it's like a precarious inverted pyramid, each part of the chip fabrication is a monopoly because it's stretching human ingenuity and ability to its absolute limit. And for every part of the input (the lenses, the robotic arms, the chemical acids, the light diodes for the lasers, etc) there's like another 5,000+ companies making bespoke tools for specialists. It's quite literally not cost effective or arguably even possible to scale production further. Like the Concorde and other supersonic jets, the rising costs are not due to economic constraints, but human. The concorde went out of service, and likewise AI will too.

The AI bubble will burst once they try to recuperate costs, once they find out that businesses don't want to pay $100,000 for the slop, they'll get a government bail out. The government will bail it out thinking they're getting a palatinr tier surveillance engine. This will turn out to be a white elephant because the AI data centers built will require replacing every 3 years due to the GPUs burning out, costing hundreds Post too long.

Same here. I've been following this guy Ed Zitron for a few years, he's been one of the first LLM skeptics that got traction. Think he even appeared on some american news stations recently. LLMs haven't proven in any capacity that they are actually better at any tasks than humans in the real world.
Benchmarks are set up specifically to measure arbitrary work loads that are made so an LLM can understand them. They use metrics like "lines of code written by AI" because it's impossible to measure the quality of said code or how maintainable it is in the long run (though experienced coders have talked about how much of a cluster fuck it is due to limited context windows and lack of awareness for things outside of the current task). LLMs are incapable of generating new solutions for anything, just mix and match existing stuff that sounds reasonable to everyone in the lower 50th percentile of knowledge in any given field. Hallucination will not be solved as it's just a fundamental quirk of how these things work. The curve of improvement is starting to flatten, just throwing more training inputs is no longer producing better outputs. Datacenter build outs are already stopping, big tech companies pulling out of their commitments or putting them on pause because there's no demand. All of it is just propped up by the years worth of backorders between AI companies, chip manufacturers and datacenter builders, which is a circlejerk of venture capital investment.
I don't know if I truly see a regression in tech but maybe that would be nice. It's not like the increase in raw hardware power has been used very well by the software in most cases. But since the chip fabs are sold out for the next few years we will definitely see stagnation on the consumer side. Maybe if enough PC parts manufacturers die out in the meantime due to lack of demand in the consumer space (((they))) will try to make everyone shift to cloud PCs. All of this LLM shit is so retarded.

Math problems don't rely on new solutions. The nature of numbers don't change from one problem to the next. The only barrier to solving a math problem is how many of the numbers in the problem can be remembered and comprehended by any given human or machine at a time. A human or calculator doesn't have the memory to keep track of all the numbers at once. An LLM hooked up to a cloud computing supercenter, or a modern gaming PC with 64gb of RAM, has the headroom to keep track of all numbers in a sequence. The calculation functions the LLM is running are the same as those on a student scientific calculator, but now with beefed up memory enough to keep track of where it is in the sequence and what it has done so far. It's a solid case of "throwing more memory at it is the solution".

How do you fellow thirdie NEET survive and cope? I am Neet in third world country, I really don't want to return to the call center I used to work from last year ;-; the town I live in went to hell too so virtually no local jobs either, I want to be a NEET all day every day but I am forced to work since I live in a third world country and NEETbucks don't exist here, I also can't afford nice things and hobbies so even NEETing is not really fun but a lesser evil compared to the cagie life to me, not to mention the wages are extremely bad, my former job paid less than 200 USDs a month and I had to work 6 days a week (most people in my country work 6 days a week).

Hello Wizards,

In this thread we talk about Formula 1. I got into it this season, curious if anyone follows it.

Who is your favorite driver? What do you think of the current season?

 No.70748

>>70742
this is the worst season of F1 that I can remember, stopped watching and don't plan on coming back. It's bread and circus anyway and i can't bother with that anymore, at least in previous seasons it was entertaining to see drivers taking their cars to the limiit, that element has disappeared completely with the new ecogay regulations, they want to make the cars easy to drive so that they can get in celebrities or pretty faces that are great for their PR and marketing.

The FiA will always put profit first before the competition, that's nothing new. My hope is that the switch to V8 engines by 2030 will shake things up a bit. And that Max Verstappen drops Red Bull.

 No.70773

I watched the first race of this season and have had zero desire to watch any more. The new aero regs are interesting, but the current hybrid powertrain setup leads to bullshit yo-yo overtaking where drivers are just swapping positions based on battery charge. The FIA think that viewers will be impressed solely by the sheer quantity of overtakes, and unfortunately they seem to be correct based on the number of fans defending the current regulations.

>>70749
It would be interesting to see Verstappen at another team, but I'm not sure who could take him. The other top teams already have solid driver lineups, and Verstappen would only leave RBR for a better car so I don't see him going for the midfield teams.

 No.70786

>>70773
I've never thought about it that way, but it makes sense. But I don't think I've ever seen anyone defending ERS superclipping. They should make the engine/battery split at least 60/40. I'm personally liking this season, but maybe that's because I'm new.

I had heard a rumor that Max was going to make the switch to Mercedes, since his contract permits him to switch teams next year, but now that I dwelled on it more it seems very improbable that a better team would take him in.

 No.70791

>>70786
The ICE/electric split being 50/50 would be fine if the cars had an additional source of battery recharge. IIRC, the current situation is the result of the FIA dropping the MGU-H to entice Audi to join in (since Audi would be at a disadvantage compared to the existing teams and manufacturers in developing that tech), then the existing teams torpedoing front axle regen (because Audi have a lot of experience with that tech from endurance racing). So now the MGU-K is doing all of the recharging, hence the super clipping. To be fair, apparently they made some reg changes a few races ago that improved the situation, but I haven't watched any of the recent races myself to compare.

Have you been neglected in you yearly childhood too? I've come across pic rel some time ago by accident and scrolling to this pic made me think I was actually fundamentally broken not by aspergers which wasn't actually that bad but rather by being neglected by mom which didn't even want to hold me when I was crying or talk on difficult subjects. Every stage presented does so perfectly wrap up all my developmental disorders it makes me feel like this framework was made just for people like me (except last 2 cause I'm too young to experience maturity and middle adulthood). Maybe some anon would consider it interesting. I've been to therapy actually and it helped me a lot but I lost my job and I don't have any money left, I'm just neeting at parents place

You are really overestimating the confidence of the average 19th century young adult. People were not confident, they were forced. Even Nietzsche was lamenting how german education forced young people to choose one career for life too early in life when they are still clueless (he was talking about early 20 somethings!). In that respect we haven't changed the least. We just have more room to wiggle in since college is easier to get into and is now adult daycare.

Hello all. Normally, I considered /dep/ to be the saddest board on the Internet. Today I realized I was wrong.

I realized I was wrong when looking up Huntington's Disease videos on Youtube. Huntington's Disease is a genetic, degenerative neurological disorder that attacks motor control functions, leaving victims unable to control their own muscles and confining them to a lifetime of tranquilizers that paralyze them. Or, the disease attacks their brain and turns them into a completely thoughtless carrot.

There is no cure and scientists can only understand the disease by progressively dissecting victims' brains, in almost exactly the way the evil doctor from day of the dead does it. And actually, the description of zombieism from the day of the dead is very similar to Huntingon's Disease.

What is everyones thoughts on leaving a suicide note? Is it necessary for closure for others? A way to get everything off your chest before you ack? Or just a waste of time?

I have been staring at my .60 cent retirement plan, and am not sure if I would just like to go out and just have everyone guessing. Or if its right to leave a note. Most of my family thinks I am useless or lazy. However they have no introspection on that they are the ones who raised me.

The problem of all religion and cultures is tribalism, bitch attention whore behaviour and absolute self importance with late victimism.
All of these things lead to shit nationalism or destruction of self identity or individual identity into the power of political power like "them" against "us"
There's no more "you" just Us.
This allow tribalism and identity identification without reasoning.
Thing like Jew or Nazi or gay or lesbian or Kekguy or Wiz or Crab lead to absolute total acceptante and reduction of Human condition to a artificial tag like these mask or identity or tribals structure, absolute destroying individuality and Human condition.
A mere simulation of ideal forms that never achieve a psychalystic form in the world of matter.
This is the pure manifestation of eucledian logic in modern world, an antinatural thing that lead of destruction of human condition if it got into power or even in the condition of democracy or totalitarian scheme. Its not about diversity, race, racism, inclussion or pride. Its not about nationalism, religion or political ideas. Its about power in the costume of identities.
There's no middle or "no" or "maybe" just the "this is this and its all".
Non-eucledian logic can turn you into a more human and healthy behaviour against this new artificial robot existence of retarded monkey trowing shit against each others based in stupid identities or "i that thing or" "i good and you bad".
When you achieve non-eucledian logic mindset, you achieve a shield against extreme stupid ideas and can get a big panorama of the real existence from matter world.
That the big "Maybe" in the power of human side, this maybe is the ego-death and dual mind in favor of human side against the robots of the future.
Bacause life and human is a process and not a rigid line of tribal and social machinery.

I don't think it's absolutely necessary, it depends if you want them to know about something or not. It can be useful if you want them to do something specific after you die, like cremating your dead body, or not sharing the cause of your death to anyone. It's also a good way to say what you were afraid of telling others when you were alive, maybe telling everything you hate about someone or how your parents failed at raising you, etc.
