its like a drug

yeah i'm majoring in Software Engineering still at the very beginning but im pretty fluent in python

i do want to say that i kinda think this idea is dumb like if you can tell the book is getting to a part you think you'd wanna skip just skip it skim read until it looks safe BUT the idea of making something like this is rather interesting. i think you could get a passable program by just looking at word frequency. like i could totally make this in python in like, an afternoon. you'd have to already know a little bit about the book, and about the parts you'd want to skip, so you know what words to target. but then its just a matter of tallying up the number of instances of each word per page (or per paragraph or chapter or anything), and if the frequency of a blacklisted word is too high in a given selection, remove that selection from the text. also you'd need the entire book in some sort of scannable file format. preferably something simple like a .txt, and that gets questionably legal pretty quickly. Implementing AI is definitely possible and would make something like this far more useful, you could have the AI give a non-descriptive summary of what it's censoring and stuff like that, but that's far out of my wheelhouse. i just know what AI is capable of, no clue how to actually use the APIs or anything. the simplest way to implement AI would probably be in tandem with the word frequency model actually. take the clipped section, give it to an AI with a prompt like "summarize this selection of text: [clipped text]. this text is from [book]. Be brief in your summary and remove any explicit material" and take the result and paste it back into the censored book, along with indicators that its not original text. that would actually be really easy to figure out, would just need to figure out how to use gpt plugins n stuff.

just had an idea that i think is awesome and it doesnt apply to any of you at all but i desire to share it
the beauty of it is in its simplicity:
im gonna go see across the spiderverse again.
"wait, dannnex, haven't you seen it like 7 times already?"
irrelevant. the question you should be asking is:"wait, dannex, is it even still in theaters?"
exactly.we're at the very end of its theater lifetime, most big places have stopped showing it already. and the few places that are showing it have completely empty theaters.
odds of me getting a theater to myself are enormous
gonna wait til right before the showtime to make sure there aren't any other seats bought, and then go absolutely wild. me and all my friends, watching the greatest movie of all time, in an entirely empty theater. best idea ive ever had.

ALSO
TONIGHT (aug 12) IS THE PEAK OF THE BIGGEST METEOR SHOWER OF THE YEAR
i always forget about cool astronomical events and then get sad that i missed them SO HERES A REMINDER SO THAT DOESNT HAPPEN TO YOU
its expected to be around 40 meteors an hour if you manage to get out of a city, best viewing time is an hour or so before dawn.

i have a lot of complaints with anime
but i think a lot of them can be summed up in the age old adage “show don’t tell”
like the number of times i’ve seen a character state the obvious, or worse, have a *narrator* give hugely important exposition….
its just
kinda awful
maybe a good amount could be due to translation errors.
but sometimes i can’t help but think “i could totally do this better”
-
any of y’all play modded terraria?
thinking of trying out calamity again
and i def have an addiction to starting public gaming servers but that sounds fun doesn’t it?
-
if you were
hypothetically
making a platforming game with this guy as the player character:
Spoiler
what would you design his enemies as?
what are the goombas/bowsers to his mario?
-
anyone else go through that phase in 4th grade where you learn what gamma ray bursts are and feel existential dread for the first time and you're just perpetually terrified for like a few weeks?

yall sometimes i rly feel like i gotta stop posting here
like i joined this site 6 whole years ago
and now im looking at the active crowd rn and im like...way older than most of you
probably not you guys specifically since i dont think that too many of the current 'active circle' follow me but you get the idea
am i old
do i need to retire
i remember when i was more in the active circle
most of those other guys are gone nowit feels weird sometimes being an adult and seeing tons and tons of middle schoolers on here is all
-
i kinda want to go through my entire post history and graph the frequency of my SUs
like graph the length of time between each one
i feel like theres probably a trend there

remember that server idea i had yesterday
its a thing now
just a prototype atm
still got a bunch of stuff to add and set up
but the core idea is thereif you wanna check it out the IP is TheDupeVoid.minehut.gg
its a completely public server rn, there's already a bunch of randos here
feel free to give the IP to whoever, nothing is private atm -
would you be interested in playing a minecraft server like this
1. Void world. everyone spawns on a 3x3 bedrock square. no other blocks in the world at all.
2. every minute (or every 30s or whatever we decide works best) every player receives a different random item. could be a block, a weapon, a spawn egg, a potion, an enchanted book, literally any vanilla item.
3. Add a /dupe plugin. If you’ve never played with one before, it allows you to duplicate whatever you’re holding. so one block of dirt is really infinite blocks of dirt.
those are the main 3 ideas, the following are more “maybe this’ll work” ideas, ranked in order of most possible to most “ehhhhhhh”.
4. keepinv on. you won’t lose any items if you fall in the void.
5. Lifesteal plugin. If you kill another player, you get +1 max heart, and they get -1 max heart. if you die to the void or a mob, you still get -1 max heart but nobody gets the +1. if you die when you’re at 1 max heart, you respawn in spectator mode, essentially out of lives and out of the server.
5b. Add a respawn mechanic for completely dead players. Maybe an alive player can sacrifice 5 of their max hearts to bring another player back to life at 1 max heart.
6. irl reward for last player standing??? prob just like 10$ or whatever because i’m not rich but just something to encourage some small amount of competition.
you see what i’m going for here? it would naturally have a limited lifespan with the lifesteal mechanic, it would encourage teaming and faction-building to pool unlocked resources, the balance of the server could change dramatically if a player gets lucky with random item drops, just seems like a pretty fun idea overall.
and a few more possible variations on the above ideas:
-whitelist interested players before server starts to disallow new players joining late on and increasing the total number of “lives” in the economy.
-limit duping to a cooldown of some sort
-lifesteal doesn’t activate until a few hours in so people have time to build away from spawn
-dying to void doesn’t cost a life
-dying to anything other than a player doesn’t cost a life
-have a small fee to join the server, all of which goes toward a pot for the last player standing. e.g. 10 people join, each paying a fee of 1$, last player standing gets 10$. (this one really only works if there’s like, a lot of interest. would also depend on how much people are willing to pay.)
Spoileralso because i’m talking about minecraft and i haven’t mentioned it in a while: we do have a vanilla 1.20 minecraft server up rn. it’s pretty active, cool people, cool builds, it’s fun times. server ip is sharders.minehut.gg and join the discord here: https://discord.gg/wfCaV4d7

I think there needs to be some sort of incentive. not like an incentive to play/join the server, but an incentive to fight once you're already there. This entire idea only works as a limited-time thing, i don't want this to just be the start of a new server, i'm imagining this as like a long-form event. might last a few weeks, but it still ends eventually. but i don't want to artificially induce deadlines with like a timer or something. so i'd like it to end naturally via elimination via lifesteal. but if there's no reason to fight, i feel like people just wouldn't.
it could be a recurring thing, and the winner gets some sort of buff for after the round resets?? that would only work as an incentive if people actually care about the game and care about winning again. and winning for winnings sake still isn't much of an incentive, thats the same problem we had to begin with.
thats also why i was thinking about getting a closed-off player list before starting it. if new people can just keep joining, new lives would be continuously introduced, and it would be hard to end up with one single player remaining. but then you have to get people to make a commitment and players don't like that, and it also prevents new players from discovering it which leads to playerbase decline.... yeah lots of dilemmas
game design is hard

last night I was up until 4:30 AM because I watched a movie and then couldn't sleep. I proceeded to wake up somewhere around 2 PM
and I've been too busy playing Hollow Knight and rewatching DBZA and working on my Legend of Zelda TTRPG to change that so IT IS UPON YOU NOW TO SLEEP THOU FOR THE BOTH OF US

guess who totally forgot SP3 comes out today
i love the way he’s releasing these, quarterly book releases are awesome because it feels so fast. like SP2 literally came out yesterday and we got another one already.
i’ve avoided all spoilers so far so this is gonna be good
Sounds like a blast!
