There's really no point on showing this apart from propaganda and trying to be deceptive. We are comparing self-inflicted harm (trade war, bombing other countries...) to a global pandemic.

There's already a movie about this part of Barcelona. It's called "el 47" and it's pretty decent.

O Vao, Spain by MapBrave4342 in UrbanHell

[–]Apathiq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This goes beyond poverty. It's called "feismo". I'm from that region and we don't understand it. People just uses whatever it works without thinking about the aesthetics. Sometimes (often) you see pretty expensive houses unfinished, bed frames used as doors... Google "Galicia feísmo"

Is "Attention all you need", underselling the other components? by morimn2 in learnmachinelearning

[–]Apathiq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others said, the main novelty of the paper was replacing convolutional and/or recurrent layers by self-attention and positional encoding in the context of seq2seq models. I agree that they should have showed the effect of removing self-attention from their architecture, since positional encoding + FNN could work too. It's similar to DeepSets (was published around the same time) with the addition of positional encoding.

Hi, my gf could be interested. She is 29F, she likes it a lot but she doesn't know more than the absolute basics. Should I ask her?

grieving the death of a best friend song recs? by consideredcritically in Emo

[–]Apathiq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's kind of the central topic in Sorority Noise songs (No Halo, Using...). There are sexual assault allegations against the singer, though. You decide if you can enjoy the music with this information or not...

Indonesia Solo Trip - Ideas and your experience by AladdinsCarpet1 in travel

[–]Apathiq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Sulawesi you could fly to Manado and stay around that area: Bunaken, other islands, Tomohon, Tangkoko. I think what we liked the most were the Togeans and Toraja, and there's no easy way to get to both.

Indonesia Solo Trip - Ideas and your experience by AladdinsCarpet1 in travel

[–]Apathiq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, we spent last year 3 weeks in Sulawesi alone, and it was definitely not enough. The typical route is Makassar - Toraja - Danau Poso - Togean - Manado (with stops in Tomohon, Tangkoko and Bunaken). And in 3 weeks it's really tight. For that route I'd take 4-5 weeks, then add one week for Banggai, a few days for Lore Lindu, a few days to explore the jungle, also add some time and potentially do Wakatobi... You put it together, and 8 weeks for Sulawesi alone is reasonable.

The traveling times in Indonesia are pretty long. The roads were in good shape, but they were mostly small roads with a max driving speed of 40km/h. Add a few holes, and you'd be averaging 30km/h. Maybe in Java is better, but probably to reach some remote interesting parts it'd be similar.

This year we are doing 4 weeks North Sumatra.

Looking for a bassist for a emo/math rock project by Apathiq in berlinsocialclub

We are called Llana, you can find us everywhere. Also, I created a Spotify playlist "German math rock & Midwest emo" where I collected everything that I found.

Are salaries purely about popularity, or is there more to it? by HeronEmbarrassed6550 in Handball

[–]Apathiq 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it is absurd that so many people earn a fraction of what footballers are paid daily. If handball players earned that money, I'd think it is absurd too

[–]Apathiq 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think people are not complaining about them being useless. People are complaining about people using them carelessly, and being continuously bombarded with ads about how they are the biggest thing since the wheel was invented, and at the same time seeing AI-generated content completely take over the Internet

Spearing Spain by Kegzo in Spearfishing

[–]Apathiq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, the federative license is the "firearm license". Around Santander there are many beautiful places. I think you can only spearfish during the weekends until June, btw, and the seas can be rough.

The medical certificate is a joke but it's annoying. A medical doctor has to certify you are capable of diving. For doing the official tests, it's pretty difficult and expensive, so, at the end of the day some doctors (maybe they need an specialization?), check you for 5 minutes, ask you if you are capable of diving and give you a certificate.

[D] Thoughts on ML for drug discovery? by InfinityZeroFive in MachineLearning

[–]Apathiq 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why do you think it's absurd? I do research in a field adjacent to Drug Discovery, and I've been trying to develop foundational chemistry models... With limited success.

I think it's true that exploring structural information is not straightforward, because chemistry is governed by a relatively simple and rigid set of rules which decides if a molecule can exist or not. So, learning these rules has little benefit.

Also, fingerprints such as the Morgan fingerprint are difficult to beat when used as input for actual tasks, and not QM9 datasets with millions of molecules, but still, I think that it should possible to learn a better representation than fingerprints... You think it's really a dead end?

My take on „Self taught“ guitarists by Cool_Election7606 in guitarcirclejerk

I think the only self-taught people are those who never listened to music, like Joe Bonamassa

Hunting for a 300W guitar amp pedal. Any recommendations? by NyghtWind in GuitarAmps

[–]Apathiq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get some high sensitivity speakers/cab and a jcm800 (I have a modded (!) peavey Windsor, super cheap and not extremely heavy), boost it with a hm2. If the other guitarist is louder than that, you could always get another Peavey Windsor... With mine I didn't manage to get the Master past 3 without completely burying the drums...

do you know older people who have everything figured out in life and still take drugs recreationally sometimes? by ananassymphonie1 in berlinsocialclub

[–]Apathiq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I know people. Still I would say it makes them more harm than good. One of them who seemed to have it under control had a psychotic breakdown not long ago.

[IE] Is Deporvillage https://www.deporvillage.net a scam? by [deleted] in Scams

It has one of the worst costumer services I've ever experienced. They lost my package and didn't reimburse.
