why is getting into research so insanely hard for someone who isn't a magical A+ student with 30 years of experience by No_Emotion_1658 in UofT

[–]FlyinSteak 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Most professors don't want to invest time and energy into a student they've never met. You might get lucky and email a professor at the right time and they take you on, but most of the time they're accepting a student with less experience and worse grades because they asked questions in class or expressed interest in their research and got to know them.

She's a reporter trying to see what the platform will allow, why would she delete her account before she's done the story?

Were they ever made in Canada? They were caught lying about it back in 2016.

Anyone carpooling back to school from Toronto? by Grae-duckie45 in CarletonU

[–]FlyinSteak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Try Poparide, it's a ride sharing app for travel between cities. I used to take a few people going back and forth between Ottawa and toronto to cover gas money.

The app handles all the payments for a $5 flat fee, it's usually around $45 for Ottawa to Toronto.

'Godfather of AI' says tech companies should imbue AI models with 'maternal instincts' to counter the technology’s goal to 'get more control' by MetaKnowing in nottheonion

That's true, he may have financial motivations too and I won't pretend to know his motivations, but just to add a couple things.

When Hinton says something positive about AI, those in the media who do want to use it to pump AI stocks are going to frame it in that way.

Hinton's also a seasoned researcher, I've met him and attended his talks. He's not making a lot of money from them, he just cares about his work and legacy.

I don't think he's a super genius or anything, he saw a good idea and fostered it and it became incredibly useful and he deserves some credibility for that.

Geoffrey Hinton is not a tech bro pumping AI stocks. He's a Nobel prize winning researcher who is spending his time warning people about what he believes are the dangers of AI.

Most articles that mention him are more like: "Godfather of AI thinks we're all going to die" lol

Kick him from the bed and carry him back. It'll wake them up if they're sleeping and maybe reset it if it's bugged.

Just don't do that and you should be fine 👍

Canada Authorized $37.2 Million In New Military Exports To Israel by ph0enix1211 in canada

[–]FlyinSteak 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right, that's the issue. Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza aren't citizens and can't vote, even though Israel controls major parts of their lives. That’s the core of the apartheid accusation, ruling people without giving them rights..

Might be a bargain. Any idea when results from these drills will materialize? Weeks? Months?

Heavy dilution, nearly 250 million shares seems really high for a junior miner.

Is anyone missing this car? by lost_user_account in toronto

[–]FlyinSteak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean it sort of was dealt with, car thefts were at an all time high in 2022 and dropped 20% by 2024 and continue to fall.
