I took a look at it, and it looks cool. Does produce some weird, phenomena like a moon that orbits its parent gas giant on a 180 day orbit (large, massive and luminous blue-white star, this gas giant being very far out in a huge habitable zone?), or the tenth world out in a system, which itself has a 22 hour orbit (lots of very small planets circling a very small red dwarf?? At least it's supposedly very hot with molten material around the equator and the life was said to be specially tailored for the environment.)

Honestly, it seems stable enough you can draw these conclusions about what the rest of the system looks like to make sense of the planet without having to ditch parts of the planet description and say "thats not possible" so good job.

Yea, it is not supposed to be realistic. Whimsical Fantasy-Scifi theme is what I am going for. There were many scientific planet generators. And none like this.

The tepuis in the description of the environment are nice to visualize as a planetary feature.

I wonder if you had a computer run generations until you get a match, if you could extrapolate a generation number to match ratio and get a good enough estimate on the total variability?

I just learned about fractional derivatives today (that is, instead of what's the second derivative of a function, what's the 1 and 1/2 derivative of that function).

There are several general formulae for this which has some interesting properties, such as if you use that formula at integer (not fraction) derivative orders you get the usual derivatives.

But if you use the fractional form, the values are nonlocal - they depend on a limit of integration.

Apparently nobody has a meaningful description of what this means, even though the math works.

Because it oddly changes a local operator (standard differential operator) to a nonlocal operator, I wonder if this has something to do with quantum mechanics, entanglement, and the mysterious collapse of the wavefunction.

So if the Flash's ability isn't just to be able to run fast, but also to be able to boost his mental frame rate, then he'd be able to see things "in slow motion" without running fast.

His heart and brain probably have to be working faster, which might be difficult to separate from his running power.

I wish I had a hole, a warm hole made out of cushion where the air is made out of food, light is drugs and sound is friendship, and the hole is the internet but also an inaccessible fortress, all points cotangent. Everybody is invited but nobody is allowed to enter, not enter or leave.

Had I a philosophers stone, could I turn it into a hole?

[Eric Blank]

You could probably use it to dig a hole, at least.

"This is my hole, it was made for me!"

Fuck I love this. It's like why would you write a complaint if you can use your keyboard as bludgeon instead. Monkey problems require monkey solution. If a monkey stared into a philophers stone, it wouldn't see a monkey looking back, but rather it would see a nice smooth wieldy stone.

People here, when they first meet me, have this unsaid, latent expectation of me having a girlfriend. Like, they seem genuinely surprised to hear that I don't. Why is this?

Like, I am flaming garbage. What do they see in me to think, "Yea this guy is definitely taken"?

[Egan_BW]

You must be handsome and charming.

Are you tall?

[scriver]

It's the chiseled cube jaw

[Magmacube_tr]

You must be handsome and charming.

People do say that. But I dunno.

Are you tall?

Nope. I am actually kinda short (1.6-1.7 meters).

It's the chiseled cube jaw

Of course! I mean, take a look at this face!



Perfectly square face? Check!

Predator eyes? Check!

Neat, clean teeth? Three full sets of 'em, check!

All a person could ever want!

[Loud Whispers]

Ah yes. People like hot people, and magma is known to be 1,300*C
