I'd draw a line between entertainment and "cinematography". I consider the former to entail pretty much anything that doesn't at least try to show some truths or thoughts on our condition or have us reflect on the nature of provided scenes or ideas. These days, film directors have researched...

A work by Polish artist Sylwia Smerdel inspired by Beksiński. Very cool 360 view.

The simple way would be to make no contact and hope they destroy themselves as they progress through the ages. If they start becoming advanced enough to leave their planet, I'd take away all resources from them, so that they can never leave their home system. I'd also maybe disturb their star...

To anyone who wonders why GoT is such an edgy shit. It's essentially directly borrowed or inspired by history, namely the War of the Roses and many similar events or historical figures from medieval times. There's hardly anything original in there. You can say that reality of those times was...

Long overdue and probably obsolete but I had a look and read through "The Laws of Thought" by Boole and I found the examples you were talking about. So the problem is that he was very frequently using the indeterminate quantity symbol ~ and he had a very different ruleset, which turns the...

Well, the intro is pretty useless. The remainder is a meta-analytic outline of all the contemporary methods, so depending on which method you favor, or none, you can pick that one, or learn about all of the different approaches to AI modeling. One of the currently more promising is evolutionary...

It tells me you're a nice person, but you shouldn't keep asking data-processing companies or external resources questions about yourself, you should gain confidence and answers by applying yourself to the world. You won't get precisely the answers you're looking for from someone other than...

You can complain to Jesus after you kill yourself.

No, you're a retard for not realising how brilliant of a move it was to allow multi-choice. You got a lot more data for your effort since now you can tally individual answers for all those options. Unless you believe in binary and you think there's only one correct answer for each of these...

Looking for something engaging on cognitive psychology or Neural Network AI research. Alternatively, it could be a novel that uses one of these themes for background or story. If there's something that manages to bridge the gap between Symbolic AI, NN's the most recent neuro based mind/AI...

Sounds like it's in 9/4. 8/8 + 10/8 notes. Or you could think of it as one quarter note after every two full note measures.

I suppose it's natural to view lyrics not only as words but also as a melodic or sometimes rhythmic instrument which it is. Some people like the broad tonal existence and relatability that vocals provide. I love vocals with minimalist instrumentation, but when instrumentals get robust vocals...

Maybe? Generally I find that vocals detract from the music. Though decent instrumentals without vocals are hard to come by. Cool song, whammy bar/half tones galore ; ). Definitely both share some focus on the virtuosity. The main emotive/attention lead in Surge is the guitar/synth pair, for...

I.K. Palace of Dreams, so far a great read M.M. Society of Mind, interesting synopsis on symbolic logic and author's original theories U.K.G. Lavinia, one of the most boring/forced books I've read Welsh myths and poems

Looks like a convincing painting. Quite serene.

Possibly this. Or you could try it out here or on similar services, where it's known to work, or find some java-friendly embed/host service to forward it from.

Yes. High compression of information processing and intake can be achieved, I was speaking in absolute terms saying that time is an entropic limit of what can be perceived (infinite existence without perceptible proof is possible, though meaningless from human standpoint). And time, considered...

Put yourself in a do or die situation. If you always keep going back to living with your parents in the back of your mind, your lazy brain won't kick to higher gears trying to figure out how to succeed. It is by overcoming fear and weakness that you learn about and become convinced of your...

Novelty at any point. Irrational time signature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXFiq19-KSE

Academia is more of a test of how well you can make friends, how reliable is your work, being on time, networking, staying informed, scheduling and group problem solving. Pretty much it's about knowing when it's best not to say something is "bullshit" and better to adjust to the requirements...

Generic lounge music with a stock photo and a self-stapling one liner at the beginning in a repeatable loop. Good for studying/background I guess? 2.7182818284/10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMDqjQBholA

Direct contradiction. Stop being insecure and be with people if that's what you miss in life. You improve conversing the most by making friends and talking about the things you enjoy.

I've never been called creepy. I don't think I'm creepy because I never follow others or give them more attention they would deserve, if anything, I often am the first to disengage or ignore others. I might be accused of giving them too little attention or not invest nearly as much as the...

Absolutely amazing stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7VI18Zd0b4

Grayman, you have such an ugly personality. Victimising with cruelty and patience and you could stop at any time as you were in control of the conversation. It was clear he couldn't take your criticism. Anyway, it's a good lesson for Pressure Spring to heed his own advice and respect others the...

At home I read a lot of books, did some astronomical observations, played games and wrote stories, novels or designed my own game systems for testing and play. I self-taught myself piano with mixed results and classical archery until I lost or sold off my equipment. I also used to go on long...

Humans are already gods. Imagination is a tool of infinite creation and simulation. Reason and thought enable us to take on any perspective and shape reality as desired, the rest is a matter of temporary shortage of resources and conflicts with other gods. We are the general purpose...

It is using photons inside a resonant cavity chamber. Microwaves are essentially low energy photons. Engines/Plates propelled by photons are what's called PLT and they already exist and there's no controversy that they work, however they are very ineffective depending on specific applications...

Pleasant, 8.8/10. I'm diggin' this angsty filth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAnIjM3MWUE

I don't agree with how you focus on your parents being SJ-whatever and that being an explanation for why you don't get along. It's an erroneous formation of conclusions by relying on a framework of generalisations of mbti, pretty useless and it won't help you understand your situation beyond...

Try something from Akira Kurosawa. He made a number of 'westerns' in a Japanese feudal setting. The 7 samurai or Yojinbo would be a good starter.

I'm messy but I'm not filthy. I get rid of any organic contaminants and hygiene is quite important to me. If you entered my space it would be messy, there are stacks of books, piles of notes or electronic devices scattered around, a number of cardboard boxes that I didn't bother unpacking since...

Basically, EM drive would be a very unique method to generate thrust as it doesn't require reaction mass, a feature that can only be found in photonic laser thruster / solar sail solutions, except EM drive wouldn't need any external support devices to move it along, which is the case with huge...

I'd say this feeling of Asian superiority is the strongest in petty minded or immature people who haven't completely internalized the traditional materialistic-darwinian perspectives on survival that's prevalent in the pessimism ridden collectivist societies. They don't understand that this...

Thank you all guys/gals for your input. It gives me useful ideas on what to consider and you are all very helpful. Hado bit: ESC bit: I haven't actually. It's worthwhile to check how my subjective observation biases play out in different languages to produce different views of the kind of...

Here's a repost of my most recent take on this issue: I'm quite open to the idea of being on the autistic spectrum given my various tendencies (superpowers actually). I plan to get myself diagnosed somewhere in the near future. Tbf, there's little to no issues irl, I'm shy or somewhat subdued in...

Post about relations or comparisons between various pieces of music or melodies that you think are fun/interesting, or puzzle others and have them point out those similes. Recently after playing as France in Civ 6 I found out their theme song which is a rendition of a Burgundian dance...

It's a good realisation to make, it saves you the time for the endeavours that have an immediate relation with your life(of which every internet community has close to none). "Can't rescue it" Have you made sure you aren't part of the cause of your problem? Not possible, lol. I have a perfect...

I'm sorry. This line made me puke and wish I had cancer. Scrumptiously beautiful cookies ... ugh, I died inside.

XCOM is a way better game than XCOM 2 if you're about to start with the tactical-rpg genre. XCOM 2 is a much simplified, bare-bones version of xcom with a time pressure that destroys any kind of tactical diversity. XCOM long war mod is one of the best t-rpg experiences to date. I'm the...

It's not such a big deal, unless you were a modder who desperately needed the 64bit memory access. There may be a few bigger graphics mods or higher content locations because there's more memory and the game will be more stable.

I'm into instrumental/prog/technical melodic death metal recently. The thing that often annoys me is their vocals, their instrumentals are perfect but they could shut up once every while to allow me to better appreciate their sound. Most of them can't sing or growl, they barely manage to be...

Hardboiled Wonderland was a pretty decent sci-fi story. I read 1Q84 and it was okay but I wouldn't read something similar again, it got boring towards the end.

Be more honest with yourself. Is visiting this forum a waste of time? I remember not so recently how you declared your departure from our gathering of infants, this thread seems like a direct continuation of your problems from then. If you are to work towards delayed gratification, you must...

We have a native mandarin speaker at the uni and we learn from Polish - Chinese and most of the important resources are in Polish as well. I have a language partner for Japanese, you can learn hiragana and katakana in about a week (hiragana took me 2 days to memorise, I used human japanese...

It's difficult to answer your question, I don't have definite favourites and of those I have, they are personal and not especially great examples for a bystander. I'm also not so knowledgable about however little I know to compile it into a general opinion of certain periods or polish literature...
