 # 4chan
 
-4chan (https://4chan.org/) is the most famous [image board](image_board.md) and a place where a lot of [memes](meme.md) come to existence. As most image boards, 4chan has a nice, oldschool minimalist look, even though it contains shitty captchas for posting and the site's code is [proprietary](proprietary.md). The site tolerates a great amount of [free speech](free_speech.md) up to the point of being regularly labeled "right-wing extremist site" (although bans for stupid reasons are very common, speaking from experience).

The site tolerates a great amount of [free speech](free_speech.md) up to the point of being regularly labeled "right-wing extremist site" (although bans for stupid reasons such as harmless pedo jokes are very common, speaking from experience). The discussion style is pretty nice, there are many nice stories and memes coming from 4chan but it can also be a hugely depressing place.
+
+The site consists of multiple boards, each with given discussion topic and rules. The most (in)famous board is *random* AKA /b/ which is just a shitton of [meme](meme.md) shitposting, [porn](porn.md), [toxicity](toxic.md), [fun](fun.md), [trolling](troll.md) and retardedness.
 
 For us the most important part of 4chan is the technology board known as /g/ (for technoloGEE). Browsing /g/ can bring all kinds of emotion, it's a place of relative freedom and somewhat beautiful chaos where all people from absolute retards to geniuses argue about important and unimportant things, brands, tech news and memes, and constantly advise each other to kill themselves. Sometimes the place is pretty toxic and not good for mental health.
 
-2022 update: abandon ship, /g is officially unusable, a bunch of capitalist children arguing about brands, [productivity cult](productivity_cult.md), crypto, consumerism, "open soars", no trace of [free software](free_software.md). Not worth it anymore. You can still read very old thread on archives such as https://desuarchive.org/g/page/280004/.
+As of 2022 /g/ became unreadable, ABANDON SHIP. The board became flooded with [capitalists](capitalism.md), cryptofascists, proprietary [shills](shill.md) and other uber retarded children, it's really not worth reading anymore.

+# Gemini
+
+Gemini is a network [protocol](protocol.md) for publishing, browsing and downloading files, a simpler alternative to the [World Wide Web](www.md) and a more complex alternative to [gopher](gopher.md) (by which it was inspired). It is a part of so called [Smol Internet](smol_internet.md). Gemini aims to be a "[modern](modern.md) take on gopher", adding some new "features" and a bit of [bloat](bloat.md). The project states it wants to be something in the middle between Web and gopher but doesn't want to replace either.
+
+On one hand Gemini is kind of cool but on the other hand it's pretty [shit](shit.md), especially by REQUIRING the use of [TLS](tls.md) [encryption](encryption.md) for "muh security" because the project was made by privacy freaks that advocate the *ENCRYPT ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHIIIIIING* philosophy. This is firstly mostly unnecessary (it's not like you do Internet banking over Gemini) and secondly adds a shitton of [bloat](bloat.md) and prevents simple implementations of clients and servers. Some members of the community called for creating a non-encrypted Gemini version, but that would basically be just gopher. Not even the Web goes as far as REQUIRING encryption, so it may be better and easier to just create a simple web 1.0 website rather than a Gemini capsule. And if you want ultra simplicity, we highly advocate to instead prefer using [gopher](gopher.md) which doesn't suffer from the mentioned issue.

 # Procedural Generation
 
-Procedural generation (procgen) refers to creation of data, such as art in [games](game.md) or test data for software, by using [algorithms](algorithm.md) and mathematical formulas rather than creating this data manually. This can be used for example for automatic generation of [textures](texture.md), texts, music, game levels or 3D models but also to practically anything else, even computer programs. Procedural art still cannot reach qualities and creativity of a skilled human artist, but it can be a good filler, substitute, an addition to manually created art. Procedural generation has many advantages such as saving space (instead of large data we only store small code of the algorithm that generates it), saving time (one we have an algorithm we can generate many data extremely quickly), increasing resolution practically to infinity, extending data to more dimensions (e.g. [3D textures](3d_texture.md)). Procedural generation can also be used as a helper and guidance, e.g. an artist may use a procedurally generated game level as a starting point and fine tune it manually, or vice versa, procedural algorithm may create a level from manually created building blocks.

 As neural [AI](ai.md) approaches human level of creativity, we may see it actually replacing many artists in near future, however it is debatable whether AI generated content should be called procedural generation as AI models are quite different from the traditional hand-made algorithms. From now on we'll only be considering the traditional approach.
 
@@ -12,12 +12,12 @@ We may see procgen as being similar to [compression](compression.md) algorithms:
 
 Using [fractals](fractal.md) is a popular technique in procgen because they basically perfectly fit the definition of it: a fractal is defined by a simple equation or a set of a few rules that yield an infinitely complex shape. Nature is also full of fractals such as clouds, mountain or trees, so fractals look organic.
 
-A good example to think of is generating procedural [textures](texture.md). This is generally done by first generating a basis image or multiple images, e.g. with [noise](noise.md) functions such as [Perlin noise](perlin_noise.md) (it gives us a grayscale image that looks a bit like clouds). We then further process this base image(s) and combine the results in various ways, for example we may use different transformations, modulations, shaders, blending, adding color using [color ramps](color_ramp.md) etc. The whole texture is therefore described by a [graph](graph.md) in which nodes represent the operations we apply; this can literally be done visually in software like [Blender](blender.md) (see its [shader](shader.md) editor). The nice things are that we can now for example generalize the texture to 3 dimensions, i.e. not only have a flat image, but have a whole volume of a texture that can extremely easily be mapped to 3D objects simply by intersecting it with their surfaces which will yield a completely smooth texturing without any seams (this is quite often used along with [raytracing](raytracing.md)). We can also write the algorithm so that the generates texture has no seams if repeated side-by-side (by using modular "wrap-around" coordinates). We can also generate the texture at any arbitrary resolution as we have a continuous mathematical description of it; we may perform an infinite zoom into it if we want. As if that's not enough, we can also generate almost infinitely many slightly different versions of this texture by simply changing the [seed](seed.md) of [pseudorandom](pseudorandom.md) generators.

 We use procedural generation in two ways:
 
-- **offline**: We pre-generate the data before we run the program, i.e. we let the algorithm create our art, save it to a file and then use it as we would use traditionally created art.
+- **offline/explicit**: We pre-generate the data before we run the program, i.e. we let the algorithm create our art, save it to a file and then use it as we would use traditionally created art.
-- **online**: We generate the data on the run and only parts of it that we currently need. For example with an procedural texture mapped onto a 3D model, we would compute the texture pixels ([texels](texel.md)) when we're actually drawing them: this has the advantage of giving an infinite resolution of the texture because no matter how close-up we view the model, we can always compute exactly the pixels we need. This would typically be implemented inside a fragment/pixel [shader](shader.md) program. Online generation is also used in the voxel games that generate the world only in the area the player currently occupies.
+- **realtime/implicit**: We generate the data on the fly and only parts of it that we currently need. For example with a procedural texture mapped onto a 3D model, we would compute the texture pixels ([texels](texel.md)) when we're actually drawing them: this has the advantage of giving an infinite resolution of the texture because no matter how close-up we view the model, we can always compute exactly the pixels we need.

-Soyence relies on low [IQ](iq.md) and shallow education of its followers while making them believe they are smart, it produces propaganda such as "documentaries" with Morgan Freeman, series like The Big Bang Theory and [YouTube](youtube.md) videos with titles like "Debunking Flat Earth with FACTS AND LOGIC", so there's a huge mass of [NPCs](npc.md) thinking they are Einsteins who blindly support this cult.

+Compared to good old [fun](fun.mf) pseudosciences such as [astrology](astrology.md), soyence is extra sneaky by purposefully blending in with real science, i.e. within a certain truly scientific field, such as biology, there is a soyentific cancer mixed in by activists, corporations and state, that may be hard to separate for common folk and sometimes even pros.
