  • I get your perspective, and would not even deny that when you added that, you got better response

    You act like it wouldnt be helpful at all

    what part of above made you blive i suggested always?

    I do not hate ai (at least not as much as an average fediverse person). As a researcher, i know what ml can do. llms are fine for language processing, and i even run local models (less than 10B). I do not like how a lot of things are going on (not going about them here), but I do not hate ai.

    I even suggested a way that can be implemented to tool call whenever it reads verifiable sources, but never said never. I would recommend you to read my original comment.







  • did it really have to removed like an hour after I posted it here? (curses gods).

    A pilot turned off the fuel.

    there is no evidence of that happening. we know that engines did not get fuel. the other pilot asked first pilot if they cut of the fuel, and they replied that i did not (from the black box recordings afaik).

    Everything else is speculation

    while i agree, i feel the wording “speculation” is not appropriate. the guy seemingly has done all things correctly (i am not exactly from the same domain, but I have done similar simulations based on real snapshots(in my case, for material in various kinds of loadings) and methodology seems sound).

    Update: apparently there was another upload (seemingly the same video, but like uploaded twice, maybe because the first one was removed). I have updated the link in my post.









  • understandable.

    I do not feel that connected to any empire, but if you talk in today terms, what is india, was not really a 1 big soverign entity. It was much like todays europe - tonnes of states. One could argue mughals were the most recent empire under which a very large part of current India was under (almost entirety of north and west and central). they had a larger cultural impact. Our current most spoken language (hindi) did not exist, lets just say, 200 years ago. there were tonnes of derivaties from older sanskrit and dravidian roots (european equivalent would be romanic and germanic roots). what mughals brought (not them, it existed before as brought by trade and previous empire (tipu sultante, which is very small, but still some what important)) were the languages usually used in islamic world - arabic and persian (farsi as we call it). from these older languages and their amalgamations we got “hindustani” . Consider it parent of hindi and urdu (most spoken languages in northern india, and pakistan). these 2 languages are in some sense same - 2 speakers can communicate orally, but not in writing, because urdu reatined the arabic script, and hindi retained the devanagri script (sanskrit). Mughals had a large enough impact on india, something our current administration really tries to downplay, and paint in very bad light. Yes, they were not the ideal, utopic, do-no-evil kingdom. But no empire has been that, ever. they were very comparable in terms of other empires in terms of social standards.





  • i did not know syncting could have multiple masters. afaik, syncthing had a master-slave architecture, where a folder on a device is master, and another folder is slave (both can true simultaneously, a folder can be used both as source and sync). if there is another folder, it can be slave of prior 2, but not master, because then you can have conflicting results (which master to pick). do you possibly mean something like a pyramid/tree architecture, where a father nodes has 2 daughter node, and each daughter has 2 and so on. if so, that is even harder to setup (getting people to ask others if they will be their father/daughter cell. this also has problem if some node is out of sync (because of being offline or something), daughters and grand daughter will also not sync. A cyclic link list is also possible, but again chain can be broken. and this can not be a doubly linked list either (2 masters). or is there some other way?



  • And while we are discussing this shit, can we also “formalise” our rules. we currently have atleast 2 posts (on by me about schadenfreude and you about utu…, there maybe are more) which state some rules. similarly we have rules in sidebar, and there are not enumerated, which imo makes it harder to read specific stuff.

    maybe, we can make a official rules post, and keep it perma pinned (same rules in sidebar), and for anynew rules added, we will make a new post, which shall also stay pinned for something like 2 weeks, and corresponding rule be added in perma rule post, and linking to explainer post. this way perma rule post will be short (so people actual read it unlike terms and services).

    reason for doing both a perma pinned and sidebar is to insure that most people going to community page are reminded to actually read rules. I, for example, hardly pay any attention to sidebar. some will never really go to community page. so both kinds of people will be shown rules. hence, less people will claim to not know rules.

    Again, this is just a proposal, so feel free to scrutinise/improve it, or form a separate alternate
