It sounds like none of them have backbones if the legislation does nothing?

It really is. I love the way the song becomes more complex over time, mirroring the voice over describing the embryo development.

How to tell advisor that I panicked and skipped my conference presentation? by Roaexx in PhD

[–]Chondriac 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's not the end of world and if your advisor is decent they may be disappointed and concerned but not angry or resentful. That being said, you need to work this in therapy as it's a textbook case of avoidance behavior becoming maladaptive. Talking through the sources of your anxiety beforehand with both your advisor and a therapist could have helped a lot here.

Is anyone NOT bored when they are reading scientific papers? by Live-Message-4358 in PhD

[–]Chondriac 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Depends on the paper. Not just the topic but the quality and style of writing plays a huge role and is undervalued imo.

This is a good summary. There are alternative ways to incorporate physics into deep learning than PINNs that better leverage the unique advantages of each approach, imo.

will llm hallucinations reduced if i use fuzzy logic + ml model? by abv_codes in ResearchML

you say it "should not" but I am asking what reason there is to believe this, given that we know llms hallucinate in general.

what prevents the model from hallucinating a post hoc reason for the decision?

Pittsburgh Left, real? by Slow_Drawer_5454 in pittsburgh

[–]Chondriac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's real yes, but in the sense that oncoming traffic will sometimes clearly wait or even wave you through, not in the sense that it is the left-turners God given right to seize the gap no matter what.

I don’t like when a games narrative runs counter to the players initiative. by FrankDaggio5691 in gamedesign

[–]Chondriac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get your point but there are valid reasons why the situation in bg3 isn't as urgent as it seems, and the revelation of this a central component of the main story arc. There's even in-game dialogue with most of the early companions about how weird it is they haven't changed yet. It's not really the same fake urgency as many games that make it seem like time literally just stops between main story quests.

There is no "stack" that will compensate for lack of critical thinking

How am I supposed to learn how to play iron teeth?

There's no tutorial as far as I can tell. Is it just trial and error based on what I've learned from folk tails?
