No. 30 - LATAM Airlines
I wasn't entirely forthright last time. About the correct response to my questionnaire, I mean. I didn't lie. I just left out the second half.
Tumblr media
Yes. It was a trick question. Brazil has four carriers that have, at one point or another, had solid claim to the title of flag carrier. And right now, the airline which represents them on the long-haul scale, their link to the world, their 'flag carrier'...is LATAM Airlines.
Tumblr media
Why doesn't LATAM count? Well, because LATAM is...something quite unusual, a conglomeration of different features which appear in isolation but have yet to rear their head together, creating an admixture which I fear casts a shadow over much, if not all, of Latin America.
LATAM's story doesn't start in Brazil. It starts in Chile. But it doesn't stay there.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
What do all these airlines have in common?
Tumblr media
Their planes look like this now.
Tumblr media
LAN-Chile was privatized in the 1990s. Until then, it had been the country's flag carrier. Now it was on the hunt to become something more. It was one thing to be the largest carrier in Chile, but there's more than just Chile out there. International carriers know this well, since they go outside of Chile.
Tumblr media
Around the same time as LAN-Chile was privatized, LAN Perú was created as an independent company. It was a rough time for Peruvian aviation. Its flag carrier, Aeroperú, had just gone under, and its other major airline, Faucett, had lead the way for it two years earlier. They needed a new national airline, and LAN was there, identical in branding to the Chilean carrier of the same name. Unsurprisingly, it was officially made a subsidiary of LAN in 2002. Even the livery was changed.
Tumblr media
Over 70% of the market share was now held by what was essentially a Chilean airline, without even the name of the country it served written on its livery.
Tumblr media
Also in 2002, LAN created another subsidiary - LAN Ecuador. It obviously looked the exact same as the other two LANs, so I have simply added another picture of a LAN Chile airplane. There is no reason I should care enough not to.
The LAN livery? Well, it's fine. I like the size of the wordmark and the way they committed to having half the fuselage covered, as should be the minimum, though other airlines do this exact shape far better; the layered light and dark blues are nice.
C. For Chile. Or maybe Peru. Or whatever else.
Another subsidiary was created, LAN Dominicana. Argentine airline Aero 2000 was acquired and became LAN Argentina. Both are now defunct.
Tumblr media
Colombia's second-largest airline, AIRES, also fell prey to the LAN infection which had now firmly planted its roots and its routes across the continent.
I actually more or less like the AIRES livery, which makes me sad. It's got a real sense of forward motion with those swooping lines and the high placement of the forward-leaning letters. It's...nothing special, but it's good enough.
It's at least worth a C+. I wish it still existed.
It could have been worse - Avianca, Colombia's flag carrier, held on, and is still in operation - one of the only challenges to LAN and what is now LATAM in South America. I'm sure they would have liked to have Avianca, and Panamanian flag carrier Copa, too, but even Copa draws the line here. But Copa and Avianca were small fry. There was only one carrier standing between them and utter domination - the largest airline in all of Latin America.
Tumblr media
In 2011, TAM and LAN finalized a binding agreement to merge. The two companies fused into one, by far the largest holding company in Latin America, though much like the many LANs it continued to operate as separate companies. TAM still wore its own livery, but time was catching up to it.
TAM isn't a hero here. Well, nobody is, these are giant corporations that paint different things on their airlines, but my point is that TAM had done nearly the exact same thing.
Tumblr media
LAP (Líneas Aéreas Paraguayas) was the flag carrier of Paraguay, until it wasn't. In 1994 it was privatized and sold to an Ecuadorian-Paraguayan consortium which also owned now-defunct Ecuatorean airline SAETA. (Their livery was boring.)
Tumblr media
It began operations again as LAPSA Air Paraguay. Much the reverse of the LANs, this was SAETA operating under Paraguayan branding. But this only lasted until 1996, when TAM's Paraguayan subsidiary ARPA (Aerolíneas Paraguayas) acquired it and it was merged into TAM, with...you guessed it...the same livery. (Their livery was boring, though I always appreciate a nice bisected wordmark.)
Tumblr media
This is TAM's livery from 2005 to 2008. What was now TAM Paraguay of course shared it.
This is the point where we stop and ask: why do I care? Doesn't this happen everywhere, all the time? Didn't like, thirty legacy carriers eventually merge into five in the US? Well, none of those were really a flag carrier, as much as certain brands like TWA were massive it just doesn't feel like it's quite the same. Not to mention that, unlike LATAM, which operates separate airlines in identical branding, when Delta absorbed Northwest or United swallowed Continental the entirety of their operations were merged into one company. It was what I'd call a 'true' operational merger rather than just occurring at the corporate level, like LATAM.
But aren't a lot of flag carriers owned by some combination of the same holding companies? The best-known example: doesn't Air France own KLM?
Tumblr media
Well, sort of, yes. The merger between Air France and KLM is actually quite similar to the LAN-TAM merger in the sense that it's officially a merger but it's quite clear who's absorbing who. The merged company which became LATAM, despite taking a new name (combining LAN and TAM to make the admittedly clever LATAM) kept LAN's CEO, membership in oneworld rather than Star Alliance, and airport slots. It's 60% owned by Banco de Chile. It also keeps LAN's use of literally identical liveries for its branches instead of just mostly identical ones. All of the airlines which are part of LATAM are still operating as if nothing happened despite the fact that, in the sense of branding and identity, they just don't exist anymore.
But KLM obviously exists. In fact, KLM is an upcoming post! Because what LATAM is doing is pretty unusual!
Tumblr media
Lufthansa owns Brussels Airlines, Austrian Airlines, and whatever the flag carrier of Switzerland is. The same company owns British Airways and Iberia. None of those brands have been retired. Is it because it would cause massive backlash and thus lose money? I mean, probably, but that's never stopped companies from doing anything. I wouldn't be surprised if it were written into merger agreements in all honesty. When Davey Neeleman and his investie acquired custody of TAP it was on the condition they keep their base in Lisbon. I wouldn't be surprised if Lufthansa's contract included "let Belgium keep its flag carrier, even if it's owned by a German company".
It is almost aggressively normal for one massive conglomerate to own multiple seemingly unrelated brands. Everyone knows the thing about Mars owning every major candy at this point. But that isn't the same thing. That's like if every Mars-owned candy was branded as CANDY YOU CAN BUY IN AMERICA. Not even HERSHEY'S BAR YOU CAN BUY IN AMERICA. Just CANDY YOU CAN BUY IN AMERICA.
It's not TAM, a member of the LATAM Group. It's not LAN Perú. It's LATAM.
Perhaps the strange legacy of Brazilian flag carriers contributes to this fate. Perhaps those of other countries would be less willing to go along with it. You might think that. But the answer is far more gruesome: this is normalized in Latin America.
Avianca is an old, tenured airline with its own history. The Avianca Group is the second-largest airline holding group in Latin America and unfortunately does the exact same thing, being the death knell to flag carriers: El Salvador's TACA (which occupies a similar nominal-partner status as the former TAM), Costa Rica's LACSA, and Guatemala's Aviateca (which I would call a flag carrier by process of elimination, much like TAM), which had fallen to TACA before its absorption.
Tumblr media
Believe it or not, Copa, which doesn't even have its own livery, is one of the largest bastions of brand identity freedom still clinging to life. Other competitively large flag carriers still operating in Latin America include Argentina's Aerolíneas Argentinas; Bolivia's Boliviana de Aviación; Cuba's Cubana de Aviación; and Mexico's Aeroméxico; though smaller flag carriers are scattered throughout it seems like basically the entirety of what could be called LATAM is now part of either LATAM or Avianca.
Tumblr media
The only way to tell LATAM planes' airline of origin is by looking at the flag near the front and/or the registration, if you happen to know the registration codes for its member countries off the dome.
LATAM operates across six (formerly nine, including a cargo branch in Mexico) countries. It is the dominant airline in Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Perú, and is the largest international airline in Brazil. Its branch in Colombia is outshone by Avianca, but that doesn't really matter, not to me. What matters is that five countries have no flag carrier, and isn't that weird and unnerving and sort of...bad?
This is a very baseless silly claim that means nothing, but it feels like LATAM (and Avianca, sort of) are trying to be the flag carrier of Latin America. And that's a terrible, worrying thing, given that this is an entire region of the world full of diverse countries which should have their own carrier, even if they're part of a larger international holding company. It's normal for airlines to purchase stakes or even majorities in other airlines when they're struggling financially, but it's almost the opposite of this. When Delta offered to buy a stake in JAL it felt like it was almost with the intent to preserve the JAL brand, and this is the norm. There's a reason we still have Brussels Airlines and Austrian Airlines and [whatever your guess on the questionnaire was] instead of Lufthansa Belgium, Lufthansa Austria, and Lufthansa Switzerland. Even Lufthansa gets to claim superiority over LATAM.
So when I discuss the Star Alliance Test, I am talking about something incredibly silly. It's already a little absurd when talking about carriers that are actually members of Star Alliance, and becomes moreso when talking about ones that aren't. But if I happen to discuss a carrier in Latin America, saying "I think it would be a mercy to their livery to be absorbed into LATAM" is possible. It's terrifying. The LATAM test is scarier than even the SmartLynx test by nature of what it represents.
...but is the livery bad, though?
Tumblr media
Yes it is!
To be clear, philosophically speaking LATAM deserves an F. This livery should not exist because of what it does to other carriers. But I'll be rating it neutrally of that, much like the alliance liveries. This is the point of my blog.
Tumblr media
This was introduced in 2015, which really seems to be the turning point from detached tail to minimally-attached tail. Sure, it was one of the earliest adopters of this, but that doesn't make me respect the bare minimum much more. It has the same problem nearly every implementation of this does, where it looks totally adequate on shorter planes but hilariously bad on longer ones.
Tumblr media
This livery in particular is begging for an extension because of this really pretty ribbon-wrapping effect. Why does everything just cut off abruptly at the same point? Why doesn't more of the grey bleed to the main fuselage? Why doesn't that nice blue ribbon keep going? Literally what is stopping you other than convention? Why is the entire underside white except for that tiny little logo, located weirdly high and small where nobody will ever see it?
Tumblr media
LATAM has this fantastic color scheme, a beautiful combination of fuchsia and midnight blue which looks stunning on the light cool grey they've chosen for the tail. And they blew it all on a tail-only livery with a mainly white body. They didn't even put it on the nacelles. I'm very exhausted.
Tumblr media
The entire livery is centered around this logo. It's approximately the shape of South America and admittedly very nice-looking. I like that the logo almost looks like a descender while the wordmark is above the windowline, but these sorts of little details are absolutely nothing when your plane is a big long white tube with a nice-looking tail transplanted on from a better livery.
LATAM's livery gets a D+.
And this is what we've lost so much to get. LAM, TAN, AIRES, SAETA...we are nearing a dark future where airports across Latin America are just lines of white planes, a thin line carved out by pretty tails cut off before their time.

mientras le oye, no puede evitar comparar relato ajeno con experiencia propia, se encuentra frente a dos historias opuestas, desde las implicaciones de la rutpura de lazos familiares hasta la posterior manera de sobrellevar inmortalidad. sin embargo, no alcanza a emitir réplica alguna. la intervención de tercero —cuya voz reconoce de inmediato— interrumpe cualquier otro pensamiento y altera por completo la manera en que se presenta a sí misma: su sombra desaparece, postura siempre impoluta se endereza aún más y cualquier atisbo de amabilidad dirigida a nain se convierte en tenso respeto hacia el mayor. ' ikelos. ' inclina la cabeza por protocolarios instantes hacia antiguo del sabbat en señal de respeto. por lo demás, mantiene semblante impasivo mientras le oye. aún cuando sus palabras resultan en cierta medida adustas, sabe bien que el lasombra tiene razón; el ritual tiene como fin recordarle la fragilidad de su inmortalidad y ha cumplido su propósito. emoción se atisba en su mirada únicamente cuando mención a desaparición surge en conversación, y busca la de nain con ligera preocupación. posteriormente vuelve su mirada a tercero. ' siento lo que le ocurrió a su amigo. ' entona, igualmente parte del protocolo, aunque numerosas preguntan nacen de sus palabras. ' eh... ' no hay espacio para respuesta, de acuerdo con lenguaje ajeno, y sin embargo, con el orgullo correspondiente a una mezcla de ego y juventud, agrega: ' no será nuestro caso. ' posteriormente, inclina levemente la cabeza nuevamente. ' gracias... ' habla tras él. ' supongo. ' añade, mientras le osberva alejarse. ' bien... ese fue ikelos... ' se dirige ahora a acompañante, un tanto perpleja por interacción. ' ¿eso fue medio siniestro o qué? ' le observa. ' no es por contradecir a uno de mis mayores pero no voy a ser el puto almuerzo de alguien, muchas gracias. ' masculla, sólo para oidos de ella. / @y0nain

un ligero movimiento de su cabeza es el asentimiento que regala. su expresión igual de tensa al no saber traducir su propio sentir a esta acción, después de todo está acostumbrada a ayudar, a apoyar, pero no realmente a que puedan hacer este favor con ella. no le molesta, solo... es extraño. "es... cómoda" comparte a falta de una mejor palabra, riéndose de sí misma, disipando su propio estupor. "¿tiendes a usarla?" se refiere a la disciplina, al cambio de temperaturas. de pronto, demasiado curiosa en las capacidades de la otra vástaga. el suspiro de alivio que brota de sus labios es la clara prueba respecto a que la quemadura ya no duele tanto: que se siente como tirón en la piel más que un parche ardiente. pero como dice la otra: el fuego es fuego y no perdona a nadie. su mirada viaja a luna y se recuerda que debe mantenerla alejada de este peligro inminente, pensamiento que se corta rápidamente al escuchar la historia de la otra, las respuestas que había pedido hace tan solo unos segundos atrás. de todo si tiempo en esta especie, debe ser la primera vez que escucha a alguien hablar de su cambio, de su abrazo. "creí que sería un monstruo por el resto de mi vida. estaba encerrada en un granero sin saber qué me sucedía y salivaba tanto, pero el agua era asquerosa en mi lengua y pensé --- pensé que ahí sería todo" ilusa de su parte. "el abrazo no se sintió tan bien, no cuando las implicancias llegaron a mí --- dejar a mi familia, a mis hermanos pequeños, solo mirarlos a la lejanía" suspira, su agarre haciéndose un poco más fuerte alrededor de luna. "me hizo sentir que la inmortalidad era una estupidez. y traté de ponerla a prueba tantas veces que me hice más heridas de las que se suponía" mira a la sombra contraria sobre esta quemadura y nota cómo esta es pequeña en comparación. "creí que me moriría cada vez, pero parece que Caín aun me quiere entre los suyos" bromea a reflejo. "¿tu sire te salvó? --- perdón, perdón, no tienes por qué responder nada" aunque sea la pregunta que más a conciencia que ha realizado.

Ossessivo desiderio di femmina
Tumblr media
"Ehiiii: che c'è, Ida? Ti conosco abbastanza da sapere che è da un po’ di tempo che sei inquieta…"
"si, hai ragione Lucio. È che la cosa mi imbarazza. Certo, so che posso essere assolutamente sincera, con te. Ci mancherebbe! Sono anni che siamo colleghi e di me sai tutto, misure di scarpe e del reggiseno incluse! E tu quindi puoi aiutarmi."
"dai, scema: spara, che oggi pomeriggio qui in ufficio non abbiamo più niente da fare e abbiamo tempo e quiete fino alla chiusura. Per fortuna…"
"ecco… è che da quando mi sono separata, sono tre anni ormai, io non ho più… capisci? E non ce la faccio più…"
"be’ direi che la cosa è molto seria, accidenti. Ma io… con tutta l'umana comprensione, per carità, cosa posso fare per te?"
Tumblr media
"questo è il punto: io non voglio più alcuna relazione. Sto bene così, grazie. Almeno per ora; quindi se sei d'accordo e mooolto ma mooolto discretamente, io e te potremmo fare… diciamo, della 'ginnastica', sempre che ti vada? Sperando che tu non abbia troppi scrupoli morali nei confronti di tua moglie… una cosa leggera. Così: con dedizione ma senza coinvolgimento emotivo. Solo ogni tanto… anche visto che lei è all'ottavo mese e quindi la lasciamo in pace, poverina… ecco perché mi sono permessa, perché m'è venuto in testa…"
"devo dire che mi lasci basito: sarebbe uno sconvolgimento della mia vita totalmente inaspettato per me, questo… non è che non avrebbe impatto…"
"vabbe’ lasciamo stare, scusami. Non avrei dovuto. Ho proprio passato la linea, con te! Perdonami, ma almeno mi sono sfogata. Ecco: adesso divento rossa… Puoi dimenticare, per favore?"
Tumblr media
"nooo: che dici! Sono d'accordo: si fa. E poi… il ferro va battuto finché è caldo, no? Telefono a casa per dire che farò un po’ tardi, stasera. Aaah.. ecco che vedo tornare il sorriso sul tuo bellissimo volto, finalmente! Confidenza per confidenza: stai tranquilla. Assolutamente. Perché io per te ho un debole. Ti… d-e-s-i-d-e-r-o da morire! Da sempre sei la mia maggior fonte di distrazione, qui al lavoro. Ti adoro letteralmente. E adesso che sei arrossita ti voglio ancora di più. Mi sto già legando a te, che tu lo voglia o no. Altro che senza coinvolgimento.”
"si, anch'io - detto con estrema franchezza - ti trovo profondamente maschio e molto attraente. Ti ringrazio della confidenza intima: è molto gradita. Sai, solo al pensiero di dovermi impegnare in un nuovo, faticoso rapporto con qualcuno… invece tu mi conosci, con te sono a mio agio. E sei un bel manzo giovane. Mi fido di te ciecamente per tutto, ma lo sai no? Anzi, già che ci siamo, ti confesso che c'è un'altra piccola cosa…"
"mi vuoi far impazzire, oggi? Già avrei bisogno di una doccia fredda… ma dimmi…"
Tumblr media
"ecco: con mio marito non l'ho mai fatto. Mi vergognavo! Ma c'è una cosa che proprio…"
"dai: parla. Sai che puoi dirmi e chiedermi tutto, no? Sii sincera, sciolta e apriti fino in fondo…"
"allora: io vorrei tanto prenderlo in bocca, sentire i gemiti dell'uomo e l'urgenza maschile di venirmi dentro che lo spinge ad affondare nella mia gola. Vorrei sentire che mi prendi per la nuca, così che io non scappi e bramo sentirmi tua schiava dentro. Da te sottomessa con forza, fino a che non sarai soddisfatto! Desidero ingoiare il tuo seme, sentirti pulsare e percepirti fremere per me, godere. Ti lavorerei l'asta con giochi di lingua sapienti, mentre mantengo il contatto visivo. Così capiresti che ti sto adorando… Ho provato con degli ortaggi, ma non è la stessa cosa! Ecco: l'ho detto. È proprio una cosa che desidero fortemente. Con mio marito mi sono sempre vergognata di prendere l'iniziativa, non volevo che pensasse che sono una poco di buono, una porca. E poi lui non me l'ha mai chiesto. Idiota! Ma comunque questo è da sempre un mio grandissimo desiderio…"
Tumblr media
"basta: adesso mi stai proprio facendo morire dalla voglia di averti. Tranquilla che oggi potrai fare con me tutto ciò che vuoi, giuro. Anzi, ti dico solo due parole, per prepararti psicologicamente: lato B!"
"oddio che bello! Ma… mi farai molto male? Comunque… si, confesso che anche questa è una cosa che desidero da tempo. Voglio assolutamente anche che tu mi rompa il culo. Si: mi dovrà far male. Sai: devo fare con te tutto quello che non ho mai fatto prima. Proprio come una squillo di lusso, che ne prende magari solo uno o due al giorno. Ma che lavora come si deve, con impegno e ogni sua sessione dura a lungo. Ok, allora: tra mezz'ora stacchiamo. Usciamo separati. Non voglio pettegolezzi. Ci vediamo a casa mia, tra un'oretta. Dammi il tempo di preparare l'atmosfera e me stessa: devo farmi stupenda solo per te. Non vedo l'ora di averti dentro. Intanto, adesso in silenzio e rapido, per favore vieni qui: ti concedo l'anticipo di un bacio… Dai: non farti pregare, figo della Madonna…"

Cortesmente la chica levanto la mano para saludarlo, rapidamente el esqueleto se acerco en un flash para darle un buen golpe pero ella lo esquivo facilmente.
Core: -¿Fissure? ¿No? No sabes lo mucho que he estado esperando por verte ,siento que podemos ser grandes amigos :D Me llamo Frisk.
Fissure: -Noooo muy mal los mimos no pueden hablar te voy a poner un 0 en mi critica en you tube, ahora CALLA CAGADA! Y muere!!!
Esa tarde Fissure lanzo todos sus ataques pero Core esquivo todos y cada uno de ellos mientras le daba palmaditas a Un joven Fissure, el esqueleto maldecia furioso, hasta que logro dar un ataque de fuerza bruta y magia a quemaropa en el pecho del humano.
Fissure sonrio malvadamente pero medio segundo despues su expresion cambio a desagrado cuando se dio cuenta que ella le devolvio la sonrisa, Core Frisk era inmune a ataques fisicos y magicos..... y le volvio a dar una palmadita en la cabeza.
Fissure: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGG!!!

La dama y el cerdo
Félicien Rops 1833 1923 pintor nacido en Belgica y fallecido en Francia, abarcó temas eróticos y escenas d amplio sentido satánico y anticlerical , se lo incluye dentro de la corriente simbolista. Pese a ser educado por jesuitas y criarse en el seno de una familia textil acaudalada, abandonó ese mundo para internarse en el conocimiento de los placeres y la perversidad y formar parte de una época turbulenta de creación y ruptura del orden y la moral establecida en esos años. Rops como otros artistas lectores de Sade pensaban que la expresión de la crueldad estaba lejos de ser un vicio, era un sentimiento más de la naturaleza humana. Gran admirador de el francés Charles Baudelaire, vivió de la fortuna familiar y dilapidó en las vivencias de placeres y busqueda del conocimiento. Fue Masòn y conoció al príncipe anarquista Pierre-Joseph Proudhon. Hizo muchos grabados eróticos y libertinos con el propósito de fastidiar a las personas respetables de la sociedad, láminas de masoquismo, dominación de mujeres, brujas y anticristos.Viajo a España y de regreso en París fue asiduo visitante de prostitutas y los cabaret
Por cierta reprobación que tuvo, se vio involucrado en duelos y peleas, estuvo casado y tuvo hijos que fallecieron, pero en su estadía en Francia sostuvo un vinculo con dos hermanas que fueron sus amantes,mantuvo un notable ménage à trois con ellas e incluso tuvo hijos con ambas, Aurélie y Léontine Dulac, que dirigían una exitosa casa de moda en París "Maison Dulac". vivieron juntos durante más de 25 años, hasta su muerte.Rops afirmaba que amaba los placeres brutales y vivió años en ese triángulo amoroso con las hermanas Dulac a las que fusionó en un solo nombre "Aureleon". Rops sostenia que la naturaleza no es sucia y nunca sintió absurdas culpas ni arrepentimientos siguió pintando hasta su muerte.
La pintura la dama y el cerdo o Pornokrates de 1878 es junto a la tentación de San Antonio sus obras más conocidas, pintó Pornokrates a los 45 años. En su linea sacrílega satanista y una aparente misoginia, para muchos este cuadro expresa el poder de una mujer (Femme Fatale), una cortesana semi desnuda pero ataviada con elementos eróticos, se desplaza libremente paseando a un cerdo que bien podría simbolizar el poder del hombre reducido a un cerdo gobernado y sumiso y a la mujer que puede conducirlo con gracia incluso con los ojos vendados. hay quienes han tenido otras interpretaciones incluso esgrimiendo que la mujer es el mal llevado a la ceguera y el cerdo un elemento diabólico que arrastra a la mujer. Otras figuras alegóricas de las artes completan el cuadro y tres ángeles se horrorizan de lo que ven.

Hola~
Hoy me ha llegado desde Japón, la primera temporada de la novela ligera de BROCON. Desde que vi la serie, siempre quise comprar los libros, pero nunca pensé en realmente tenerlos en mis manos 🫠
Honestamente, no se mucho japonés y uso el traductor para leerlo en romanji. Lo que he leído de las novelas, lo leí ya en inglés, pero los pocos capítulos que no están traducidos los traduciré para mi disfrute personal (en espanglish, probablemente xd) y lo publicaré aquí como archivo para no perderlo.
Se que el fandom está algo muerto, pero quería compartir mi felicidad y dar a quien le interese un vistazo de como son los libros.
Pequeña descripción física de los libros: son tamaño A3 aproximadamente, la caratula es removible (es más un cobertor) y la verdadera portada y contra portada tienen impresas preguntas de "entrevista" que responden todos los hermanos (la mayoría de este contenido está traducido al inglés, el único que no he visto es la entrevista que hace Mahoko en el 7mo volumen)
Tumblr media
Sobre las coberturas, en la parte de atrás tienen frases en inglés. Son diálogos importantes de los capítulos de la novela, la linea mas importante en todo el volumen.
The pen is mightier than the sword. But something might be mightier than a pen.
If you wish, I would be with you. So show me your smile
If you give me a kiss, this boy would be happy again.
I want to let you know that I'm crazy about you too.
Blood is not important. What should be connected is mind.
Waving here and there among my brothers and toying with them, when on earth will you get satisfied? (Hikaru como te odio :D)
I need to say something. And yet I still love you.
Tumblr media
Por último, he tomado fotos de algunas de las ilustraciones que nunca he visto por internet. Intenté ser variada y sin bias Natsume y Ukyo
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Si alguien está interesado en traducir algo de la novela, escríbanme. Les pasaré los raws, a mi mejor capacidad, ya que no tengo escaner :D, pero haré mi mejor intento.

"Taleb mette in guardia dal fidarsi ciecamente dell’induzione, perché la minima anomalia può smontare anche l’induzione più solida (il celebre tacchino induttivista). Gli LLM ne sono un esempio evidente: elaborano pattern statistici su larga scala, imparando a scrivere con coerenza senza seguire un filo deduttivo passo passo. Questa capacità di generare testi verosimili mostra quanto l’induzione possa essere potente, ma evidenzia al contempo che non costituisce una base formale certa.
La logica e la matematica si fondano su regole stabilite a tavolino in modo arbitrario, cioè su un insieme di assiomi che non derivano da probabilità. Al loro interno, la deduzione è certa e non può essere sconfessata dai fatti, perché la sua verità dipende solo dalla coerenza del sistema. Se gli assiomi non si contraddicono, le conclusioni seguono con necessità, come in un gioco in cui valgono solo le mosse ammesse dal regolamento.
John Stuart Mill vedeva nella matematica un insieme di induzioni talmente consolidate da apparire come verità necessarie, mentre Quine invitava a non considerare la logica al riparo da revisione: davanti a un conflitto con l’evidenza, in linea di principio potremmo persino cambiare gli assiomi. Tuttavia, nella pratica, preferiamo modificare le ipotesi scientifiche piuttosto che scardinare i fondamenti logici o matematici – almeno finché questi assiomi, se mantenuti, portano a un numero conoscitivo maggiore di fatti interessanti, e qui torna il problema dell'eventuale caso in cui siano sconfessati su base empirica (dunque induttiva).
Gli LLM forniscono un banco di prova formidabile per l’induzione, poiché dimostrano come gran parte delle nostre regole linguistiche si possa inferire da un oceano di dati. Non riescono a riprodurre la certezza di un sistema assiomatico, che non si regge su probabilità ma su principi decisi a priori, ma ci aiutano a capirne la natura e riaprono la domanda se ogni deduzione abbia una base induttiva."
