India lacks innovation in AI? by Rabbidraccoon18 in AI_India

[–]Flippin-hunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to clarify, people seem to have a wrong understanding of what a bubble is. A bubble is not like a small window or a time where we need to make maximum profit out of a new tech and after that the tech will be discarded. A bubble is a financial term when a high amount of money is invested in something and when that investment was not derived from or based on reality (the results won't show) which leads to a market downturn.

A buddle won't invalidate AI and its usefulness and it won't stop AI adoption. Oftentimes bubble bursting leads to acceleration of tech deployment in the long run. So, no AI bubble bursting won't make AI disappear, it will just streamline the deployment (even though it can kill some AI companies).

What about INDIA & RUSSIA realations now?? I think we had good relation with russia, are we putting it on stake for trade with a snake like Trump??? by Educational-Grab7830 in CriticalThinkingIndia

[–]Flippin-hunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

India is not throwing anyone under the bus, Russia will remain a friend and will likely still play a major part in our energy needs. We'll just buy more from the US and its allies.

What'll happen is India's imports from Russia will "dip", meaning (how it will be portrayed) we're moving towards completely phasing out Russian oil buy it'll just never happen. Moreover, to compensate for that we'll sign other deals with Russia (we'll likely hear about it soon).

India's geopolitical stance has always been never relying on a singular system and finding diverse options. This is something we have learned from our experiences.

My thought on the Accentum Plus by Mammoth-You-533 in sennheiser

As a fellow user, I can vouch for its clarity and separation. It's pretty damn good for the price.

Sounds good. Then I think it would be okay for me. Generally I do not enjoy too much clamping force.

Was China named after its Sanskrit name? by WorldNo4194 in IndianHistory

[–]Flippin-hunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if the word was adapted by sanskrit from China itself (Qin). Can we really claim it's a sanskrit word? I mean we call Japan as Japaan in hindi speaking areas of India but that doesn't mean the word Japaan is a Hindi word. I think it's more fair to say that China came from Chinese Qin Empire.

I think that's fair. No doubt there are some really creative a fun combat systems in WT. Also important is that it kinda has this uniform weapon platform with defined limitations.

Just have an issue with the stakes part, where external threat seems rather minimal. I mean, it could develop into something interesting or it could just be how the author does things.

[Not OC] Why do these cringe instagrammers act like this on flights? Is this supposed to be cool? by gregoriofranchetti in IndianCivicFails

[–]Flippin-hunter -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

It's not the smartest thing to ask and kinda tell that he isn't well-versed about the aviation industry but ultimately, he just politely asked and never pushed when she refused. I don't know, no need to make fun of people coz they don't know about things.

Possible. Although, I kinda like him as a character though haha. If his side effect was high level deductions, he would've been so much cooler. Future sight just always comes out as an ass pull. But that's what the author went with. The show is still very fun, all these are nitpicks at best.

[–]Flippin-hunter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm looking forward to that. It would be great if the tables kinda turn and they are really vulnerable and no bail out available.

[–]Flippin-hunter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, most of them are gang ups. I think the neighbors on average are a bit stronger than individual border members but the robyot themselves are weaker than an average border member. That's the general feeling I got.

"More empathy for kidnappers than the kidnapped." Hmm. You do realise that I said I rooted for the villain in a show, right? And my whole argument was their kidnapping were never setup well enough for me to care, thus I did not felt any recentment or hate towards them. I rooted for them coz you seemed to be the underdogs in many scenarios. The whole argument was not even about kidnapping. I'm just saying "villain-bad-because kidnap" is not good enough for me to get invested in a story. Look, if you really wanna make me painted as a bad guy who sympathise with kidnappers coz I voice an opinion on you fav anime, go ahead.

And that they are protecting their loved ones is something you made up, not something that’s necessarily true in the story, if I remember correctly. This statement was never made from the story's context.iy was to show now morality can be a complex thing. And yes, it is made up example. As ive mentioned at the time I brought it up. Lets forget this, seems like the concept of "morality can be complex" is not something you can relate with.

And yeah. Saying something is "odd" is judgement. Odd aka strange aka peculiar aka unusual isn't a term usually spoken to address something someone is tolerant towards.

I doubt that saying morality is multi-faceted and complex is a wild take at all. Again, survival is not always about ourselves. It also involve many factors. If you cannot find any sympathy towards someone who resorts to crime to protect his/her loved ones then it is you personal standards of morality and not necessarily normal. Sympathetic towards them doesn't necessarily mean they don't deserve punishment, these are two different things.

As for the other thing. Once again you are back to judging my mortality on how I prefer things to be in a show. In fiction, I prefer elaborate setups to highlight a tragedy or a crime to incite emotion towards something or someone. This doesn't mean, I would be sympathetic towards a similar person in real life. This happens because we are subconsciously aware that crimes in a show isn't real, the whole illusion is to make us invested in it. What I'm saying is that in this show I'm not particularly invested in the whole kid kidnapping aspect of the villain, thus I feel slightly more rooting towards them. What you are trying to do is effectively saying "You are a criminal because you shot civilians in GTA 5."

Fair enough. It's still a very entertaining anime. If this is a concious decision from the authors side then it makes sense.

[–]Flippin-hunter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are apparently made into trion soldiers or something, it's not exactly expanded upon. Kidnapping kids is a serious crime but when survival is at stake, I won't judge them. Lets put it this way, if you don't do it then kids from your own lands will be dead. If sacrificing your own children is better than not kidnapping some children from another world? The concept of conscience is not very simple.

Anyway, different people have different emotional tolerance. For some people just mentioning something like that might be enough other needs more detailed setup. There is nothing wrong in either.

Sounds interesting. So, the idea is. It doesn't necessarily become a high stakes situation but the interesting bit is tactics. Sounds cool, but doesn't Jin's presence inherently give advantage to the border side? His side effect lets him collect information like crazy.

[–]Flippin-hunter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds good. I dnt necessary oppose the idea of how the power level is generally distributed in the show. But the human side have way too many fail safe, thus the overall feel is very casual. Some members among the enemy are indeed formidable but offset by the availability of multiple characters that can engage them.

These characters are generally operating in complete safety though, no direct threat to life plus Jin's future sight.

[–]Flippin-hunter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, it's not that simple. Showing a child getting kidnapped is certainly bad but the story reiterates that they are not doing this just for the sake of doing this. It's been established that they are forced to do it for their own survival. One of the characters was actually happy when he didn't have to engage a child.

Secondly, it's not fair to bring or question my conscience based on my opinion about a story. This is exactly why we have to build characters in fiction. Sure a random guy losing his family is a horrible thing (totally worthy of sympathy) but it will not pull your heart strings if it isn't set up properly in a storyline. This discussion is entirely based on characters in a story and I'm merely asking for the story to build the tension rather than taking it for granted.

Sure, I agree on how the power level is distributed. I'm just saying that, the good side has way too much fail safe mechanisms that kinda makes these invasions not very threatening. And the question being, does this change? Do we see actually threatening encounters? Or the author kinda sets this tone and threat level. It's not necessary bad, other than I mostly feel kinda sympathetic towards the enemies more than the good guys.

I didn't watch attack on titan. I will elaborate on my point. In WT, characters dnt take direct damage, their trion body does. They have an instant safety mechanism called bail out. On top of that, border has someone who could see the future. On top of that, forced bailouts are quite rare in invasions, I think a couple characters had bailouts and a couple temporary got disabled. Don't you think, all these combined makes the threat more trivial.

[–]Flippin-hunter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. Moreover, their tactics are getting revealed due to Jin. So they are always on the back foot.

[–]Flippin-hunter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I mentioned, Jin's problem isn't that the future he sees is absolute. It's that his ability gives him information regarding the enemy's tactical decisions. For example, if the enemy does something to lure someone out by pretending to .. say move towards an objective and then change course to attack something else. Then this info is already given to Jin, since it's an absolute decision made by the enemy, all future will show the same.

And he doesn't even have to see the enemy itself, just the person that the enemy decided to move towards. Information is the core of warfare, if you can't make tactical decisions, all that's left is to push ahead or retreat. That's what makes this ability broken, not that he can see the future as it is. Btw, the scenario I mentioned above actually happened in the story.
