#musicbrainz

aerozol, you really need to switch timezones, it's kinda funny (and sad?) to see you speak to yourself in #metabrainz hehe :)

hahaha thanks Lotheric_ 🥲

On the other hand, sometimes it’s good to just have the experts (expert) in the room ;)

haha true

less noise in the room, more space for thoughts

helps the design process!

no it isn't i like having people around timezones :P

morena aerozol !

the funny thing about experts

if you've ever been "the expert" in a room

...i have

and it's terrifying

because im not /an/ expert

so it's astounding to be /the/ expert

>.>

ah man, at school, whenever there was a computer thing i was "the computer" person

and like.. i'm not omg

the more experience you have, the more you realize how much we just dont know

deffo

my company is on the cutting edge of ai

and it's .... so goddam stupid

!recall oh no.

quantum computing is like that too

it seems like wizardry

and the people in the field know soooo mcuh

quantum computing interests me a lot!

....but they're borderline useless

there's just so much more information ahead of us than behind us as to make it seem, once you learn enough about a subject, like we barely know a thing

>.>

head example: the more you learn about colour and what it actually *is*

i know about electron states and.. it's jsut

wtf is colour even

color is just a wavelength

of a photon

oh but it's so much more :D

or

perhaps

you might describe it as our perception of said wavelength

and the photon is created by electrons dropping or increasing states

given that we can see things that dont exist

ah but

or knocked loose or whatever

what it is .... is not defined by how it comes about

it remains photons with various properties

simply sourced one way or another

yes, energy states can do the thing

but that is how it is made

not what it is

not ot menation that photon scew thing wich i don't know how to say in english. where observed photon states are set if one is observed

uncertainty principle?

oh wait no

you're talking about that

uh. it's more *certanty* but i don't know what it's called in english. only learned it in norwegian :D

no i was thinking of something else

i know what you mean

:)

but

the reason that doesnt make sense

is because ... we're thinking about it wrong

we try to approximate the idea

by saying the photon is in all possible places at once

with varying probability

until needed

but that's ... just our grade school explanation

it's more like

a photon is an excitation of the electromagnetic field

my idea is that photons are wack. also they move at the speed of light . wich is impossible. so time dilation will make time stand completely still in the ov of a photon

and as such

several things occur

first, the photon is not in several places at once

it is not in any

the photon is not the "thing"

the field is

and THEN there is string theory

and the field simply permeates a region

and when interacted iwth

it excites

this explains other elmeents too

like bose einstein condensates

where cooling things down enough causes them to coalesce

but that's not true either. photons (and indeed electrons (and larger things too probably if the physics had allowed it to be observed)) have both matter and wave characteristica

what's really happening is that we removed so much energy that the field cannot excite as much

well

not matter

particle

matter has mass

particles just ... are

uh well i am trasnalting form norwegian here

:b

but yes, a photon does particle things

and is excited by the field

and it's been like 5 years or more sicne i faffed with this

realy wish I could have continued with physics. it really shock up my world whne i learned about Newton and *force* and wtf it was

this is also how tunneling can be explained

the thing doesnt teleport

it doesnt go through other things

it simply reverts to a field form, and then excites

it makes sense, in a way

if you can think of something as both there ... and not there

or there ... in a more ... representative fashion

heiseberg comes ot mind? lol

yes

well the interaction that provides the information about one property?

that is an interaction with the field

so by doing that

perhaps the field is being altered

perhaps "observation" is a relevant interaction with the local field

such that it acts in an input/output capacity, capable of both extracting information [and energy], and imparting the same

but the core of what im getting at is called "wave particle duality"

wave is just a ... low information term

that basically refers to the field

actually

come to think of it

...the idea of things as fields until needed as particles would explain the whole "reality is not locally real" thing that was recently given a nobel prize

although it does leave open the question of what makes something a worthy observer

21:44 < Erin> because im not /an/ expert

21:44 < Erin> so it's astounding to be /the/ expert

nya

i am being quoted o.o

scary

"you may be 'a' doctor... but I'm 'the' doctor... the definite article, you might say" https://youtu.be/K3CWXqUqPFA?t=34

ah, the cheesy acting of british tv

but now, sleep o/

can anyone help me with this

i am trying to setup the musicbrainz environment and i am getting this error:

0h00m00s 0/0: : ERROR: There are no scenarios; must have at least one.

when I run this command:

./script/compile_resources.sh

I first heard the above quote in "PJ Ladd's Wonderful Horrible Life" ftr

AryaLanjewar: you're in a decent place to ask this, though #metabrainz might be slightly better

AryaLanjewar: but to answer your question "I don't know"

oh! my bad

I will go to metabrainz
