>>16945891Irrelevant; it's the loss of information that I resent. A shift in time isn't more inherently lossy than a translation in position. What matters is the discretization versus continuum. In the latter, it is necessarily lossy, but in the former, it is not. Consider the humble doubling sequence [math]n_k=2n_{k-1}[/math] for [math]n_k\in\mathbb N[/math]. Given any [math]n_k[/math], you instantly know the entire sequence. If we assign the index within the sequence ([math]_k[/math]) as time, then you "change" as you go through it. But there is no loss of information, the entire sequence is preserved.
>>16945986If you eat, breathe, shit, sleep, think, talk, write, those create lossy states. Burning of the calories is a lossy action state. Information state is lost upon change from one state to another a human body. The state change is slow for some non-reactive elements and we dont know if there are any non-lossy particles in the universe at all even at their base state.
>>16945992Can you please define lossy? Your definition is clearly incongruent with the one I have laid out.
>>16946001Lossy is lossy. You lose cells, you lose information. The fundamental being changes, one bit at a time, to millions/billions of information states each breathing period. The trillions of microns eat/poop inside the body also shift as you're going along your daily life. The entire biome mass goes through multiple generations each day. If we're classifying human body as the whole of the body, then the whole of the body is constantly is cycle of birth and death inside the body. And for thoughts and minds, the conscious mind forgets 99.99% of the daily information and only keeps a low resolution snapshot of memory daily that is extremely shoddy and blurry.
>>16946011You seem unprepared for this discussion; I encourage you to investigate what lossy means and information theory.
There's some studies which suggest erythritol and aspartame are linked to cancer, heart attack, and stroke, but there's a lot of people who suggest these studies are unreliable because they are funded by corporations who make products using sugar.How do I determine the validity of a study for myself? What are your opinions on artificial sweeteners?
A better solution is to stop eating overly sweet things.Then you won't need sugar or its substitutes.

They are all poisons. Also it's put in the worst food and drinks.
>>16944318you know, I'd push back on this, frankly. when it was white educated men debating philosophy in good faith, purely in the pursuit of knowledge, then I think considering ad hominem arguments fallacious was probably appropriate. when it's satanic DEI billionaires making sophisticated and likely self-serving arguments in pursuit of the mighty dollar, I'm not so sure. ask yourself, and be honest: would they have published the study if the conclusion was that erythritol was good for you, cured dental caries and led to lower weight and blood pressure in at-risk groups, and basically was superior to sugar in every way? that's the difference.
>>16945811>would they have published the study if the conclusion wasYes. The scientists being paid to conduct these studies still get paid regardless of their findings. They work in a different department from the marketing team.

Really try to think about what it’s like up there, sealed inside the bony vault of the skull, trying to figure out what’s out there in the world. There’s no light, no sound, no anything — it’s completely dark and utterly silent. When trying to form perceptions, all the brain has to go on is a constant barrage of electrical signals which are only indirectly related to things out there in the world, whatever they may be. These sensory inputs don’t come with labels attached (‘I’m from a cup of coffee’, ‘I’m from a tree’). They don’t even arrive with labels announcing their modality — whether they are visual, auditory, sensations of touch, or from less familiar modalities such as thermoception (sense of temperature) or proprioception (sense of body position).

I am convinced that calling it the white american nazi gas chambering operation instead of calling it climate change makes it much easier to understand what's going on.

I have 4 large boxes of legos.I wonder how I could put them to use - build something for my living room. Either just something arty, or something to put stuff on. Although realistically, there's not enough stable parts to place plants on it. I mostly want to use as much parts as possbile. Possibly I'll just do a wall of sorts. Ideas?
>>16938601Black Sun
>>16938605Not quite my style, but I'll also likely go for something slightly more flat, floor based, although going up the wall is fine too.In either case, I want to use a lot of the stuff I have.
>>16938601Bake them into a solid ingot of ABS plastic and stick in some table legs as it solidifies.

What if you're manipulating the values of relative permeability and permittivity if the vacuum to artificially raise or lower the maximum value of c in your small region of space? You're not going "faster than light" you're just raising the speed limit. You also now remember LiJun Wang at the NEC Laboratory Princeton in year of our Lord 1999.https://www.scribd.com/document/208319/NEC-Time-Travel-Experiment-in-2000
If a true vacuum is impossible how do we know the speed of light in a vacuum?
>>16930780you can already travel to another galaxy in seconds (in theory). if you can accelerate arbitrarily close to speed of light in arbitrarily short amounts of time, from your reference it would be nearly instant and you could travel anywhere in the universe. to everyone on earth it would take millions/billions of years and of course in reality the technology needed to give you the practically infinite amounts of energy needed to do such a thing probably isnt possible, but theres nothing about the laws of physics that says you cant.
Some kinds would.Physics might allow the kind where you have a gate at both ends but your have to get there the slow way at least once to set up the gate

>>16944557>"deterministic" "reality"delusional. None of these experiments disagree with wave function based theories, and most of them model with with greater computational ease than anything bohmtards can cook up.>>16944573>most popular trajectory crankery ("""pilot waves""") barely skirts the 5% markI don't much care about the COPEnhagen interpretation but if you merge it with epistemic approaches it tells you that 57% of people consider QM indeterministic in the bohm schizo sense plus another 15% that basically deem the idea of wave function collapse to be bogus in the first place. This (+2%) yields 74% of people that would agree on the wave function being deterministic and that see no reason to add hidden variable nonsense into the theory just to have trajectories
>>16944809>>I am a musician who isn't formally educated in physics thoFrankly, that gives you a much better starting point than most physicists who, thanks to their education, all suffer Newtonian baby duck syndrome. >waah waah>what do you mean I can't draw an electron as a kepler orbit>what do you mean I have to use linear algebra I wanna use calculusIt's so fucking annoying and floods the field with people trying to complicate the theory. As a musician you at least have a natural understanding of a spanning set, non-orthogonal basis sets, superposition and acoustics (which manifest in EM interactions as well for small cavities)

>>16943090You can't just arbitrarily crossbreed unrelated plants. Crossing a citrus and a tumbleweed is like trying to breed a cow with a house cat.Drought resistant crops are an active field of research but genetic modification is a regulatory pain in the ass.
>>16943096>genetic modification is a regulatory pain in the assThis is a big problem for many industries. Like, it's practical and sane that there is regulation, but the sheer extent has really held back a lot of progress.Food production, conservation (right now there are species of fish that could be saved through modifying them with killifish pollution resistance genes but instead we're just letting them go extinct), construction (we could be modifying multiple strains of trees for faster growth, different material properties like reduced fammability or extra tensile strength or hardness or whatever, but that research has only really just started), law enforcement (there's a real hesitance to clone exceptional dogs or modify dogs to have better senses of smell or strength and stamina) and pretty much any other area that uses biological materials or living organisms for functional purposes.

What does /sci/ think of the science of psychiatry?Is it ethical to lock up a patient against their will and forcibly inject them with antipsychotics - drugs which have effects like shrinking the brain, obesity, muscle spasms, anxiety, and sometimes risky behaviour such as gambling and reckless spending?Perhaps patients should instead be allowed to make informed choices about what psychiatric medications they take?
that's neat, can you show me the MRI findings consistent with a diagnosis of schizophrenia? First break psychosis would be cool. I still have all my imaging on discs somewhere
>>16933643In 2025, I was hospitalized against my will twice. The first time, I was using bupropion without a prescription (only 150mg per day) and I had seizures, so they forcibly hospitalized me. The second time, I had taken 30mg of zolpidem to get high and they hospitalized me. They forced me to take antipsychotics, and I gained 16kg. The lithium they forced me to take caused swelling in my feet.Today I still take controlled medications without a prescription; in March 2026, I took 70mg of zolpidem, which...MY BODY IS MINE AND I PUT WHAT I WANT INSIDE MY BODY! NO ONE SHOULD BE HOSPITALIZED AGAINST THEIR WILL!
I think a lesser known failure of psychiatry is the treatment of the types of restricted eating caused by things like autistic sensory issues. Most doctors treat this kind of restricted eating by denying its existence, and those who do acknowledge its existence take a psychiatric approach: The problem is the patient’s head, we need to manipulate their thoughts to make them normal. In practice this means coercing the patient eat “healthy” foods they are afraid of, which frequently fails to make the patient regularly eat new foods because eating the new foods is painful for them, and depending on the type of coercion the patient may be traumatized as well. The idea is that the psychiatrist makes the patient normal first, and health will naturally come after that. Health is literally not the priority. When treating people with these kinds of eating restrictions, health should be the priority, not normalcy, and that means running bloodtests to determine what nutrients they are actually physically lacking and working within their restrictions to overcome these deficiencies rather than coercing them to eat iceberg lettuce and damaging their relationship to food in the long term.
>>16933643It's nonsense.>Used to smoke a ton of weed>Forcibly admitted to hospital for manic episode>In hospital for a month>Spend 5 collective minutes with any doctor asking me questions>Nobody ever asks about my lifestyle>Doctor tells me "You're bipolar, so you'll always be bipolar">They give me meds that make me want to kill myself>Stop taking psychiatric drugs as soon as I'm out of the hospital>Stop smoking weed for years>Start smoking a lot of weed again>Back in hospital within a few months>They give me drugs that make my hair fall out and want to kill myself again>Again, nobody asks me about my lifestyleThere's no method to anything they do. They just want to give you drugs and move you down the pipeline. They probably hope you kill yourself based on the reaction I've had to the drugs they've given me. They never ask about your habits that may be making you depressed or what kinds of illicit drugs you're self medicating with. They just think "This is what happens to some people. They're bipolar and we can't fix it"It's total bullshit

if you have an asteroid or another object entering the orbit of let's say earth, what happens to gravity when you push it back with a super heavy force? sorry i know jack shit about physics
For the object to enter a stable orbit it would have to slow down. An asteroid can't do that on its own.If it did slow down and enter our orbit the way you would "push it back" would actually involve accelerating it to go faster to leave orbit. Most energy efficient way to do this would be increasing its orbit until it interacts with Luna and gets slingshotted outta here.Gravity wouldn't notice it's presence in the slightest unless it was very large.

Why isn't there a way to store muscle like fat?>le caveman hunting once a week and fasting for the rest of it theoryWouldn't the food spoil in your stomach?

>>16945301>>16945300Answer the question faggots
>>16945274Cavemen hunted once a week because the hunt yielded hundreds of kilograms of meat that kept the tribe fed for the week. They did not have extended fast periods except by necessity. If the only thing the hunt produced was couple rabbits they would hunt the next day again immediately. Meat keeps for a long time using various preservation techniques like cold, in salt, dried out, pickled etc.
>>16945585Back then "fasting" was a consequence of living in the wilderness, but also where we as "animals" evolved into the most.I highly recommend doing a long fast atleast once, it can alter your perspective about everything like some mushroom trip but, you know, sober.>>16945274>Wouldn't the food spoil in your stomach?They would live in states of gorging and fasting, like most predators, consistent feeding came later.
