language invention Anonymage 06/05/24 (Wed) 19:12:57 No.67861 [Reply]

I've created a language years ago. I picked up words from english, german, latin and indo-european root words.
Here's some phrases:

" Bheheud ser, ek heer "
(tomorrow night, I'd be there)

" Nw Þonder "
(there's is a storm)

" Nw Þonder, ek ser bheud, sekzuheud "
(there's a storm today, I'll see you tomorrow)

" Ði mann sek ði deer "
(men and animals are different)

" Deer sek mann but Þey anwdeer und Þey mann ajwmann "
(animals aren't human but are living beings)

now here some words I've created so far:

haha indeed wizzie, but you're right, I should learn a real language (I want to know japanese) but I never started because I need soleone to learn; I need a professor. I can't do shit on my own

If you can't do shit on your own, you can't learn a language. It's just that simple. A professor isn't going to make you memorize 10,000+ words and slowly grind your way through dozens of books at a snailspace.

Well, I've been on urge to drink for a few weeks now. Tonight's poison is standard beer and "dry sake". The last is not that enjoyable personally but I don't have many options right now. What are you drinking or planning to drink?

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.

I think people who try to solve Collaz Conjecture via "hailstorm numbers" are either dumb or busy leeching grant money.

Collatz is about researching patterns (repeating but following some rules), not numbers "rising" or "falling"

So

I have a very simple idea how to crack some grant $$$ on groking an algorithm related to Collatz Con'.

1) put an arbitrary large binary number, say 2^300+466432 large

2) represent it as a 319 bars wide array of columns and gaps

3) watch the process of "sorting" ones and zeroes into an array that has only 1 column

4) earn some grant $$$ by referrong to Collatz Con Sort as "modified Stalin Sort"

5) claim Collatz Con is a yet another cursed way of sorting things up.

6) haha some math dome

I like the fall. Summer is way too hot and makes normies run around and party outside. In the fall when it gets colder they already start to stay inside more. So I can take my time walking along the same path as always and admire the color of the changing leaves and wonder how many times I will walk this path before this time of my life comes to a close as well. Perhaps I will miss these mundane scenes one day. Perhaps I will forget them entirely. But for now I am comfy and enjoying the sights.

Consumption free hobbies Anonymage 06/04/20 (Thu) 04:36:07 No.53574 [Reply][Last 50 Posts]

What are some hobbies that don't involve consuming anything? You purchase a 1 time item and very rarely if ever have to replace it. Learning yo-yo tricks would be a consumptionless hobby in this case. There are obviously thinks like whistling or playing the spoons too. The idea is it has to make as little foot print as possible while being something you can develop and grow at. Drawing wouldn't count because you need paper.

Say:

* NovelAI offers 30 free tries a month or something.
* PerplexityAI has free bot for a 'puter/a celly
* Grok
* …
* Some Telegram bots are crazy: they offer you lots of free tries for different models independent one from another.

Cooking *vaguely* fits the description, as long you don't watch 30-something shows by Oliver or some other pretentions dick with "let's cook from something found on any kitchen: plumbii and succentas" attitude:)

In a sense, it's a hobby which won't increase your consumption in terms of money - you'll save $$$ on junk food takeaway/delivery …

I like to look up real estate online. I don't buy any of it, because I wasn't born rich into the landed gentry.

However, it's fun to fantasise about. It's amazing what kinds of homes people can have. It's wild to me that someone people have a hundred thousand dollars and just buy a normal house rather than move somewhere kooky for an interesting home.

Right. The idea that these lifestyles are truly accessible to us is a false one. To truly make it work, you need to be wealthy, not just rich. Not 7 figures, but 8 figures or more. Need to have people working for you and taking care of all that maintenance and hassle.
Otherwise, you'll be paying the difference with time and stress.

Hobnestly, I daydream about a day when a bunch of tower blocks will be repurposed into building for solo wizards - a 500sqft apartment is kinda enough to host a bunch of cool stuff like a CRT telly, two CRT screens on a desk, a funny old Kraftway keyboard, a bunch of oldschool books, a couple of wardrobes holding towes and tees… and other personal rags…

…

and, a large wooden bunk bed with the upper bunk not being really meant to be used - just to hold a different sleep setup (thinner blanket and such) if it feels too cold to sleep in your normal bunk.

I mean, seriously, tThe Man keeps building "cheap and affordable" tower blocks for people who tend to shit on each other floors and create traffic jams and overall feel out of place in da overcrowded city.

Sorry.

My thesis was - in big cities, UTILITIES are more of a problem than BUILDING ROOMS

and repurposing old cranky buildings to "host" people like us would probably fix a lot of problems like traffic jams…

I had thought about getting back into comics for the last few weeks, and started watching some youtube reviewers and channels to see if I felt interest rising to the point where I would spend money on the hobby.

That lead me to learning of the existence of this thing.

The right way would be going to GetComics and reading whatever catches your attention, and if you find you really like, you buy it to support the creators behind it. Actually read some comics instead of watching YouTube and look for things that you don't like and you're not the target audience for.

I read over 800 single issues this year so far from different publishers in many different genres. If you tell me what you're looking or what you used to like, I can probably recommend a couple of things for you to try. DC and Marvel are far from being the only thing available in comics nowadays. Independents are growing at a fast pace and there's a lot of different stuff for you to try out there.

I think the thing I used to enjoy that I had wanted to recapture was the Giffen and DeMatteis "Justice League International" vibe. This is the reason I was leaning towards irreverant, humor-oriented comics within established properties. I wasn't looking specifically for a thing to be mad about, and I do wonder if it's just that I do not really like that kind of thing anymore rather than that that thing has been degraded. It doesn't really affect my own decision to not purchase a thing if the aspect that changed is my own taste rather than the thing itself, but it would make asking for recommendations very difficult and likely counterproductive.

I gotcha. I'm very fond of Giffen's Justice League myself. Just you mentioning it makes me want to go back and read it again. Right now, I'm going through the original Justice League run, so it's a nice coincidence you brought it up. Anyway, check out Ahoy Comics stuff. It's basically a group of former DC employees who wanted to take things in a more irreverent, 80s-style direction. Many of their titles parody DC stuff in a very good way. It might be exactly what you're looking for. Humorous, but with actual plot. Try The Wrong Earth, My Bad, Dragonfly and Dragonflyman, and maybe Babs as well.
