RULES (updated 1/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

I feel so dumb lol, i m not as techie as most of lemmy I m in high school ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Anyway i hope u succeed on whatever u r trying to do, i don’t understand lol
It seems like u r making some fictional reality game and uhh mapping ur brain on some thing?! ◉_◉
Yeah. It's mostly stuff from age and a constant curiosity in life.
Forth is a weird language that is really old but works differently than any other common language now. Like even in HS I hope they are teaching you basics like Python. With Forth you have a dictionary made of words and words can be anything. You build programs by assigning stuff to words, like 2+2=4 can be math-sucks in the dictionary. It's a useless example, but whatever. Words in Forth can be made of other words in combination too. You end up trying to figure out projects in steps where you're trying to simplify your goals into a word or few instead of like typical programming where you're building larger and more complex systems that are difficult to understand and manage.
Parsec 7 is just a name I made up for a science fiction story based on positive futurism. I occasionally post about related concepts I'm thinking about in the story on Lemmy not that that matters. The story is in the distant future when science is complete. I strive to make it extremely hard science fiction, meaning there is no magical technology, no faster than light travel, and no aliens, there are not many people that live on planets either. Everything in the story is within the technology limitations we currently have. The only difference is access to wealth and the results of ongoing scientific discovery. I primarily focus on telling the story of a colony around the star Alsafi. It is a G-type star like the sun and is one of several G-type stars with colonies within 7 parsecs of Sol and the cislunar (space between earth and moon) central home of humanity.
The entire story is based around a way to create mortal flesh and blood artificial intelligent human like entities. The reason for this is simple, most of the stories about AI are dystopian (negative/doomsday). In reality, those stories are not actually about AI, they are the equivalent of a Greek pantheon machine-god mythos. It is an all powerful god like destroyer of worlds. That is simply not realistic and has nothing to do with AI and the real dangers it can pose or the benefits. So I play with a story where humans and AI exist as mortal equals to play around with ethics and issues in a more grounded perspective.
So yeah, old man boring stuff.
Ah Ok, I understand it now haha, yeah they taught us python iirc end couple of years in middle school and the first couple years of high school, now i hv had the option so i opted out since i m not that interested in AI and computer stuff but rather mechanics and electromagnetism stuff like that
Thanks a lot for explaining to me tho, its not boring it seems kinda cool actually
What kind of mechanical stuff? My son is super into building and repairing guitar pedals and amplifiers. They're kind of interesting if you lean musically.
Mechanics is a branch of physics, where u learn abt mechanism of different types of movements, like rotational mechanics, where u study abt a rotating body and its motion (stuff like angular velocity angular momentum etc) or like fluid mechanics, uniform circular motion etc, pretty basic haha ik, but i do enjoy learning and applying concepts, unfortunately there aren’t many practicals i can do but i do hope i get more opportunities after i graduate high school
Repairing guitar stuff seems fun! I hv always wanted to learn bass but like i said there are not many opportunities in high school where i live, i wish to graduate and move
Yeah, he totally geeks out over it. He's always trying to talk to me about waves and current and making boards. Find the thing that turns you on and run with it!
Yea, thnks a lot for sharing :)
