@Ktash some indicative proof does not a total proof make

user15026

which means we still have no fucking clue

Ktash

Heh, gravity and magnets are still not fully understood, and in science that just means we're still learning :)

user15026

hell, we can't even believe half hte actual science we do have. (See this article)

user15026

shrug

user15026

All I am saying is that I am skeptical as hell about all of this stuff

user15026

6:02 AM

and really, there's not a lot to be done to convince me

Ktash

Einstein redefined gravity and still couldn't get it right. We're always refining and adjusting. But we launched a man into space. And we landed on the Moon. And, soon, we'll be off to mars and having vacations on the ISS. So I'm happy with how science is going lol

Unionhawk

Down with science!

Ktash

Up with Pastafarianism!

murgatroid99

@Ktash What do you mean "couldn't get it right"? As far as I understand, General Relativity is still accepted as accurate

Unionhawk

yesterday, by Unionhawk

@Batophobia NO

Ktash

6:04 AM

@murgatroid99 For certain scales, yes. But the mathematics breaks down for both the very small and the very large

murgatroid99

@Ktash I'm pretty sure it works at large scales. The fact that it doesn't predict stuff for small scales just means that that's out of its domain

Ktash

@murgatroid99 Hahaha, a theory of gravity is supposed to be able to handle both large and small things. It isn't a partial theory of gravity ;P

user15026

@Ktash I am not saying I don't like science, I am saying that a lot of higher order stuff is inherently unproveable and complex and we have no fucking idea what we are doing, and science dudes have admitted that they cant prove some of the crap they are saying, so I don't get it as a thing.

Unionhawk

gravitation theory doesn't work for small scale therefore it's wrong and doesn't exist

obv

murgatroid99

@Ktash Scientific theories are predictive. General Relativity makes accurate predictions for everything but the smallest scales. That doesn't mean it's wrong, just that it doesn't predict everything

@AshleyNunn Our knowledge about quantum mechanics stuff is actually more precise than for any other scientific theory

Ktash

6:08 AM

@AshleyNunn Well, certain things we don't know how to prove. But for the longest time, we couldn't prove we weren't in the Matrix. And then, a few years ago, someone figured out a plausible way to test that theory. It is ever changing and evolving. And the stuff we have more solid coming down the pipe is because of the crazy stuff that we don't understand yet for years ago

murgatroid99

Stuff like masses of particles and such

user15026

Either way, I don't have to trust it, or like it, or believe it as a thing. And make of that what you will, call me an ostrich or whatever suits that, but that's just my deal.

murgatroid99

@AshleyNunn There are very few scientific things that are actually "unprovable", and they're all labelled "theoretical" for a reason

Unionhawk

@Ktash If we were in the matrix, then Keanu Reeves would have been killed following the filming of the first film.

Ktash

@murgatroid99 Einstein postulated as a predictive model for gravity, and it doesn't work at all scales. I'm not saying he was really wrong. I'm saying we're still searching for a better model

Unionhawk

6:09 AM

pruf

user15026

@murgatroid99 I am well aware of that

Unionhawk

boom

user15026

But even the things we think we have proven are falling apart in some ways (see the article I linked, it relates to medical and psych research)

user15026

so like...there is room for me to doubt this stuff

Unionhawk

the machines would have seen that shit and been like "nope, we can't let people know this is a thing" and shut that mess down.

user15026

6:10 AM

and really, what the hell does it matter

murgatroid99

We're always searching for a better model. But that doesn't mean what you think it means about the current models

user15026

I don't agree

user15026

@murgatroid99 Considering you have VERY little idea what I think about such things, based on one short conversation, please cease from making points about my thought system.

murgatroid99

They're not wrong, they're just incomplete. And until we have a complete model, there's nothing wrong with having extremely accurate incomplete models

user15026

That is a judgement you do not get ot make.

Unionhawk

6:11 AM

I think there is room for me to not understand quantum related science and that's about it. Personally.

murgatroid99

@AshleyNunn That was actually meant as a response to Ktash's point

user15026

Anyway, my shift is done, the broken shit is fixed, and I have earned my bed. So. Goodnight.

Ktash

@murgatroid99 Yes, of course we are. Again, I'm not saying they are wrong. There is a good quote for this that I can't quite remember right. Something like "If you observe something falling faster than your math says it should, your model is wrong, not the universe." We are always working at understanding things better. We just have a few more astrisks on the current method. It isn't wrong, just has some hiccups.

murgatroid99

@Ktash I'm just not sure what your point is. Every time we make a new model about some phenomenon, it is accurate in a greater domain than the previous model. And that will continue until we have a model that is accurate in all domains.

Ktash

@murgatroid99 That is basically my point. Some models are more accurate then others, but we are always improving them. Like I said, our model of gravity isn't even "complete" yet, and most people just assume we have that all figured out. So it is my go to example when people say that the new science is flimsy at best. Of course it is. And it is always getting better as we prove and learn more. That is the point of science

@AshleyNunn Goodnight m'lady

In the end, we're saying the same thing I feel, just talking past eachother @murgatroid99 :)

murgatroid99

6:18 AM

@Ktash You said "Einstein redefined gravity and still couldn't get it right". My point was that "not predicting everything" is very different from "not getting it right".

Ktash

You are right. I said it incorrectly. I tend to mirror extremes in conversation and shouldn't have said it that way. Or at least clarified that he got in wrong in very particular circumstances, which we are still mapping out and improving

Though I think there may be an equivalent non-Einstein principle to cover the gaps. That I'm fuzzy on

The last time I had a convseration about this particular topic was several years ago in college. Though the multiverse theories often come up amongst my friends depending on what book they are reading

murgatroid99

@Ktash OK, I see. Obviously, I get a little worked up when people dismiss scientific theories

Ktash

Heh, it's alright. I went into computers, but most of my friends went into the sciences. I definitely understand

murgatroid99

And I guess I see it even when it's not really the intention

@Ktash I have a CS degree, but I almost minored in physics

It's more a personal interest of mine

Ktash

It happens. It is a difficult topic to phrase because if you use the scientific terminology, sometimes people think things aren't really real (theory, hypothesis, etc.), but if you use the colloquial terms, everything is extremely overstated (that proved that...)

And I, in particular, am not any good at it

murgatroid99

6:25 AM

@Ktash That is a problem. I feel like the main issue is that people expect science to be "provable".

Ktash

Yeah. I think people think there is a point where we go "nope, we know everything about that topic, and we have no doubts about it" and move on.

People want there to be a right answer instead of a level of uncertainty with assumptions made to every testable hypothesis

Unionhawk

if you can't prove it it isn't real obv

except bigfoot. That's real and we can't prove it. Obv.

Ktash

@Unionhawk He lives down the street. Nice fellow

Great family man too

murgatroid99

@Ktash And yet, I'd like to think that one day we'll actually figure out the underlying mechanisms of physics.

Ktash

@murgatroid99 It'd be nice. I've noticed a bit of a shift in what I read though. Maybe it is just me, but people seem to be discussing less a "theory of everything" and more talking again about the pieces and maybe never being able to know it all. Maybe it oscillates, I don't know lol

murgatroid99

6:29 AM

My bet is on one of the cellular automaton models

@Ktash I think we've gotten to a point where we're realizing how much we still don't know about quantum mechanics, and that makes a theory of everything seem far away

It seems like every month or so there's some experiment that seems to violate some assumption we had about QM

Ktash

Heh, yeah. Those are always fun

murgatroid99

Mostly I'm thinking of those indirect observation experiments that seem to violate the Uncertainty Principle

Ktash

The real fun ones are when the media gets ahold of it and blows it out of proportion as "proof everything we know is wrong"

@murgatroid99 Wasn't the uncertainty principle originally postulated by Einstein as a ding against QM though?

I thought I'd heard that somewhere

Unionhawk

WE JUST DISPROVED SCIENCE GUYS LET'S WRITE A STORY

murgatroid99

@Ktash I'm talking about Heisenberg's. It's one of the foundational principles of QM

Unionhawk

6:32 AM

WHAT'S THAT? YOU DON'T THINK THIS DISPROVES SCIENCE? YOU'RE FIRED.

murgatroid99

@Ktash You might be thinking of Schrodinger's cat

Ktash

@murgatroid99 Ah, yeah. I am. Nevermind, ignore me lol

murgatroid99

Schrodinger's cat was a thought experiment that was supposed to show the absurdity of the collapse interpretation of QM

As opposed to the many worlds theory, or some other interpretation

And we still have no way to test whether one of those is correct

Unionhawk

flegs

murgatroid99

@Unionhawk I love padding my flag count

Ktash

6:35 AM

Wait, no, that was different. I think I was thinking about Heisenberg's principle. Someone made the comment (and maybe it was Einstein maybe it wasn't) that the uncertainty principle is violated if you have two particles that are traveling the same speed and direction that you could observe both and violate the uncertainty principle.

Haha!

Einstein didn't like the uncertainty principle, if I remember correctly

Not that he is the end all be all of authority, just something to note

murgatroid99

@Ktash Which is weird, because he won the Nobel prize for an important discovery in quantum mechanics

Ktash

Yeah, he didn't think it was right. There were rumors (if I recall, completely unsubstantiated) that in the months before his passing he was trying to disprove it and had something

murgatroid99

It was the photoelectric effect, which demonstrates the quantized particles of light and the quantized energy states of electrons orbiting a nucleus

@Ktash There is the famous quote "God doesn't play dice"

It actually makes sense to me: his GR theory described a very orderly universe, and that was very inconsistent with QM

And uncertainty in particular

Ktash

Yeah, if I remember correctly that was one of his major issues with it.

This was a few years ago I heard this and I can't remember where. My guess would be documentary or article on him or something

which always have varying degrees of accuracy, especially on these sorts of things

murgatroid99

But in my view that was really just him projecting his intuitions about the universe onto a domain where it didn't apply

Though, of course, for decades afterwards there were efforts to demonstrate that there is order behind the chaos

Ktash

6:42 AM

> Albert Einstein believed that randomness is a reflection of our ignorance of some fundamental property of reality, while Niels Bohr believed that the probability distributions are fundamental and irreducible, and depend on which measurements we choose to perform. Einstein and Bohr debated the uncertainty principle for many years

murgatroid99

@Ktash And the mountains of evidence now indicate that Bohr was right

Bell's theorem

Bell's theorem is a no-go theorem that draws an important distinction between quantum mechanics (QM) and the world as described by classical mechanics. In its simplest form, Bell's theorem states: No physical theory of local hidden variables can ever reproduce all of the predictions of quantum mechanics. In the early 1930s, the philosophical implications of the current interpretations of quantum theory troubled many prominent physicists of the day, including Albert Einstein. In a well-known 1935 paper, Einstein and co-authors Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen (collectively "EPR") sought to ...

Ktash

It's Tesla vs Edison all over again

murgatroid99

@Ktash It's different. Edison seems to have been a jerk. Einstein was just wrong about something that is very surprising

Ktash

@murgatroid99 "... well known..." Ha. Wikipedia needs a dictionary lol

murgatroid99

@Ktash well-known among particle physicists

Ktash

6:45 AM

Heh, I know. Just seems like a funny thing to say in a scientific article such as that.

murgatroid99

Though, this line is interesting:

> The present status is that no conclusive, loophole-free Bell test has been performed.

Now that I read it, that article is written a lot like a scientific paper

Ktash

heh, it probably was written by someone who writes them often

murgatroid99

It looks like that line I quoted is actually very close to being incorrect, pending reproduction of experiments.

Only in Quantum Mechanics would someone seriously propose using observations of distant stars to determine how to set your lab equipment, and that this would be an improvement over deciding yourself.

Actually, that sounds hilariously like astrology

@Chippies Is this you manually going back, killing the monster fast enough to get to the next level, then going back again, so you can skip the delay between monsters?

badp

@StrixVaria He's killing both monsters in one frame, and switching between them in two

So he also gets the gold from 443

(I believe)

Chippies

@StrixVaria yes

I noticed long ago that boss levels are skipped instantly when I have enough dps to kill them real fast, so obviously the death delay is skipped on level change

so, if you spam click on the previous level with progression mode on, you end up killing the monster from previous level and the monster from highest level as fast as you possibly can

StrixVaria

@Chippies so do you aim your autoclicker on the level now instead of on the monster? :P

@Chippies Yeah, but he's not on at the moment.

Third Eye Crime is not a bad game, but it's not as fun as it seemed from the few seconds I saw in trailer

@Chippies The 0s delay when swapping zones?

Every time I get all of a heroes upgrade things I feel super proud of myself. This game is stupidly good at keeping you hooked.

I'm lvl 89 now, been searching since lvl 75 or something.

searching as in: non stop searching.

The amount of non-crwodcontrol achievements i have is absurd, based on that I have three or four things that trigger a crowdcontrol on attack/being hit.

@Chippies As an American, it blows my mind that some people are experiencing barbecue pulled pork for the first time :P

@Unionhawk it's not barbecued, it's in a slow cooker and it has coleslaw on it

Q: How can I install steam games to a USB drive on Linux?

I saw some very similar questions but for windows and I am using unity and have no space to install a game so I need to use a USB drive but have no idea how to unlock the /media file to read/write so I can write to it as well.

@AshleyNunn Meh, I need to cook other things before I actually cook ambitious things like sslow cooker pork

It also takes way too long for my patience

user15026

@Unionhawk I like slow cooker things because I don't have to think about them and I can just get home and be like "oh hey, dinner"

Unionhawk

8:52 PM

Yeah, and they are delicious, bu the I dunno

I don't have a slow cooker, so...

Frank

Explorers with the first Purity upgrade are OP.

user15026

@Unionhawk That does make it a little trickier

Frank

Turns out, my evening plans are happening tomorrow. Should I work on my model some more? Or just play video games and relax?

user15026

@Frank Model, then relaxing :)

@AshleyNunn Heh. I already finished two colors today. :P But alright. More modelling it is!

I have 300+ riftstone fragments. RNG hates me. All I want is a single greed portal, and a greed gem drop. Is that so much asked for?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@iKlsR And ASCII Star Wars!

I like how they look. Now let's go in and hope for a drop.

RNGesus is not your friend I take it?

@Unionhawk He finally decided to give in now, after a looong time.

Unionhawk

Oh so you mean it's not int rng() return nope;?

Arperum

Let's keep it at: it took more then 10 hours of dedicated farming to get that damn portal to happen.

Unionhawk

So it's int rng() if(player=="Arperum") return maybe; else return probably; then?

Q: Is there any modern free-roaming space shooter? (like Colony Wars)

I was remembering playing Colony Wars this incredible space shooter serie on PS1 and how good it was, and then I realized that I did knew any modern space shooter game with these arcadish sides. So I wondered if anyone could tell me if any such a game has been made in the recent years. Thanks.

@Arperum int random() return 10-hoursTried; then. That's my final guess at how rng works.

@Unionhawk You should've answered that one question that asked how the RNG in D3 was made.

I'm intentionally not clicking on the article because I literally could not care any less about the whole situation at this point in time

I'm not one who normally complains about whitespace in webpages, but man

The one graph that matters and it's never called out in the article text, and it's completely unreadable as embedded

you care about it enough to let it have presence in your subconcious to remind you not to click it

whereas I don't even know what its about.

I see your not caring, and raise you!
