Ideally you'd wanna raise the voltage to fry the system assuming it has a load limit. So I would hazard a guess and say if everyone on earth was fucking at the same time it'd be a lot to processq

If we did, we wouldn't know it. The sysadmins would restore from backup and adjust some settings to prevent the crash again.

>>62470784
Probably by making the host machine run out of memory. If we make the assumption that they have some sort of memory compression technique enabled, then everyone doing the same thing at the same time probably won't work. I suppose having everyone in the world do several random things at once and keep lots of things in their head it might work.

Maybe the system crashes a lot. Maybe we need to sleep because otherwise we run out of allocated resources (assuming a process per person).

Observe everything. Unobserved things are not rendered, this causes some quarks in the physics engine. Clearly this was done to save computational resources. If we observe everything then everything will need to be rendered.

But honestly it probably wont crash, it will probably just slow down the simulation and this slowdown will only be observable from an external reference frame.

But it could be the case that the simulation was given x units of compute time, by crashing the system we will end the simulation early (by our time reference) and cause the end of the universe.

I predict that there are many such simulations carried out with slightly different parameters. The agents running the simulations are probably searching for conditions that spontaneously generate life. But they are probably looking for life a hell of a lot more interesting than us. And they may not even consider us as alive or our impact on the universe is so marginal that they completely overlook our entire existence. We need to blow up some planets or something big like that so they will see that we existed in the first place.

Dear anon,

I have always been intrigued by this image but I feel butterflies in my stomach when I see it. I mean I know the liberation of finally getting to die but I can't help bit feel a sense of impending doom at the same time.

You see it's not like I don't want to kill myself but something inside me holds me back. Like a chain on a ravaging pitbull. I internally scream and beg for final release but bound I still am.

It only gets worse when I approach the void. A few months ago as I was crying myself to sleep like most weekends I took hold of a bottle full of sleeping pills and as I did my best to muffle my crying so that my neighbors wouldn't wake up I opened it and poured a dozen in my hand. I couldn't help but feel a rush of fear that made me drop them and suddenly stopped crying. I now just felt an overwhelming about of fear as I hid under my covers.

You see I'm a coward, plain and simple. I just don't want to be locked up like a fucking dog anymore. So I ask you, what do I have to do. What are the steps that I must walk through so I can finally be free. I'm trembling as I type this but I know what I want, I've always known. I feel haunted.

You're earthenly bretherin, manly mann

The universe is a computer. The issue is that you anons cant differentiate between what we see as a computer (Von Neumann arch) and what a computer is by definition.

God is thermodynamics. It doesn't feel, it both is and reacts to natural forces. Entropy is the goal that the universal comouter is working towards without sentience.

I work with molecular simulations.

We could detect that we're in a simulation by finding some kind of strange geometry to our universe. As an example, some simulations put particles on the surface of a sphere.

We could detect some kind of strange physics inconsistencies due to optimizations. Energy appearing or disappearing, reuse of patterns, detecting discretization error.

Most simulations crash because a particle went out of bounds of the system, was duplicated when moving between slices handled by different cores, or caused some kind of numerical error (divide by small numbers, bad algorithm leads to massive roundoff error, subtracting numbers of vastly different sizes).

More practically, though, just take two or three tabs of acid and you'll break out of the Matrix in no time at all.

I'm at the pretty much same position as you. You see, when I was at the verge of suicide, at a cliff, watching the waves crash violently and making a calming noise, I was so calm and happy. I never felt so comfortable, so distant against my worries, my problems and my insecurities, I wanted to end my life at that time to preserve my mental state as it was, I didn't want to go back.

You know that cliche in most movies where the protagonist's entire life goes in front of his eyes right? I didn't know it could be real, but it was. The environment was like it was taken by a slow motion camera. I could see the birds chirping their wings, the waves crashing at the cliff, the leaves flying through in front of my eyes, in slow motion. I remembered a distant memory, a memory where I was trying to save someone who was about to kill himself. I don't really remember his face or where we were. The only thing I recall is that I was screaming at him to stop being a coward and fight back for once.

The adrenaline started rushing through my entire body and I couldn't help but start crying. It was almost like I was talking to myself in that memory. I was right, why wasn't he stop being a coward and fight back for once? Why was he ending his life on such pathetic excuses when he could go out with a bang?

As I was asking these questions to myself, rushing back to my car to calm myself down and stop shaking, I concluded that I could give myself another chance, a chance to go out with a bang.

I sat down and made a list of things that drove me to the edge of suicide and how could I overcome them. I gave myself two years. If I failed even after that, then I could be sure that I am a pathetic human being undeserving of living. If I redeemed myself, I could go on with my life and be happy for once.

Only a month passed since I was there. I am planning on visiting that place two years later, to conclude whether if I am going to finally let go or watch the scenery and go back.

I once had a therapist that told me that the reason he's convinced that we're not living in a computer simulation is because of "fingernails". I asked him what he meant by that and he said there's no reason for something so redundant and small like fingernail growth and variance to exist if we were in a computer simulation.

To this day I have no fucking clue what to make of that logic.

>>62472103

>>62472124
I think the point he was trying to make was that fingernails could just exist by themselves in a simulation and that because of that there's no reason to program them to "grow" because it's such a small detail no one would notice normally.

The therapist is right, it's the little things that make all of this as "real" as possible. We could have all been born without nails and just have had rougher scalier skin or something. The fact that all humans have nails and they grow at different rates means a simulation isn't possible especially when we can all consciously conclude and accept the existence of our fingernails.

>>62471241
> it will probably just slow down the simulation and this slowdown will only be observable from an external reference frame.
This is the real "fuck" moment of the post.
We'd never be able to detect immense slowdown since we ARE the slowdown.

We only detect slowdown in games and programs because we are using them.
The programs themselves, without a proper ticker (any decent developer), have no clue about time beyond what the OS provides them every time-slice.
Any other process stealing priority from them is given it blindly. They can do nothing to disagree or care.
Of course, as above, this is without proper time management in the program.
A person simulating a universe would never want such a feature either, because then it would be trivial to figure out the universe is fake simply by everyone concentrating on random things around the whole planet.

Of course, there is another issue. The planet isn't the simulation, the UNIVERSE in entirety is the simulation.
We'll need to smash a few billion galaxies together in hopes of making some dent. If not more.

>>62476719
But irrational numbers do not exist in nature. Not even blackholes, that is improper physics.
They are concepts that have never been calculated to use every quanta of information in the universe to represent them.
If they were, nobody would be around to give a single shit.

Quantum computers require a hell of a lot of memory to simulate and if quantum physics is just a quirk of our simulation and doesn't exist in the host universe then trying to run a large scale quantum algorithm may cause the system to run out of memory and crash.

We don't know for sure.
We'll not know for a very long time, if ever.

It might seem infinite, we might give up right before we could reach a potential "edge".
It might wrap around like the surface of a balloon, merely stretching apart. (the most accepted theory)
It might be a hologram.

But what we definitely do know for now is everything follows some sort of logic, even the quantum world.
Infinities and their general families don't exist in nature outside of improper science and data.
There is a reason Relativity fails hard at high units of [insert any fundamental property].
