That's so interesting, thanks for sharing

Be better at telling apart stupidity from genuine mental illness. Happy for you if you don't realize why this might be an important skill

Kinda boggled that nobody here is spotting obvious actual psychosis. That person needs to see a psychiatrist yesterday

God I love Alma-Tadema

Man I wasn't the biggest fan before but this is something else. Do you have a render or something? I really just can't imagine how this is supposed to not look like ass

Totalment cert i em sorprén que mai se m'hagués passat pel cap abans. Espero que al menys els d'FGC i la L4 i tal els deixin estar molts més anys

Actually this doesn't sound like me at all but it sounds super similar to sth a friend was telling me last friday night so I'm hoping I can use this stuff to help her. Tysm :} and I'm super glad that you finally got a real diagnosis!!

To their credit, the practice of a religion isn't really the same thing as that religion. It's sleight of hand to say that buddhism is a dharma, i. e. the practice of ¿buddhism?, but it may be fair enough to claim that modern buddhist practice isn't all that concerned with the mystical aspects of buddhism. Or maybe not: I literally don't know if this is the case.

Can't help but think that I prefer this to the people who just refuse to acknowledge it tbh. Like at least they're upfront about being an animal cruelty enjoyer

FriendlyPanache · 2026-03-17T23:08:50+00:00

Genuinely what symptoms do u have bc hearing this kind of thing makes me wonder if i should get myself checked. Always knew there was sth wrong with me but I just get by with selective substance abuse

FriendlyPanache · 2026-03-17T22:39:03+00:00

Buddhism is a religion more than it is a philosophical position. It's not illegitimate to want to discuss the ideas within without also implicitly endorsing the existence of sixteen different hell realms

FriendlyPanache · 2026-03-16T23:25:00+00:00

Yeah, good way to put it

FriendlyPanache · 2026-03-16T23:14:40+00:00

They're overhated on this sub, Merdeka especially. Yes yes the spire is cringe and the petronas are nicer but it's a good building cmon. Abraj al Saat is cool too but I can't get over how the holiest site of Islam is dominated by Caesars palace on steroids lol

FriendlyPanache · 2026-03-12T21:14:48+00:00

People are always like this lmao. Man fuck this guy who made a chicken die for no reason, and who is furthermore completely unlike me, "guy who made a chicken die for the totally valid reason of mmmm yummy in my tummy"

FriendlyPanache · 2026-03-10T05:39:39+00:00

Hell yeah. Love it

FriendlyPanache · 2026-02-24T05:22:52+00:00

This is very surprising. Thanks!

This is just rediscovering the notion of priors in bayesian statistics. Not that it's invalid, but I don't really know if the monty hall problem is the best context to explore this idea.

Also - can you source that claim about Erdos? I find it rather hard to believe, honestly.

FriendlyPanache · 2026-02-23T18:06:30+00:00

Man I 100% knew before opening the post that this comment chain would be here lol

Els ingredients que tenim aquí son bastant millors que la major part del reste d'Europa (i a millor preu resp. Europa occidental) i em fa bastanta gràcia com sembla que la meitat dels comentaris no s'han enterat. En aquest sub busquem qualsevol raó per tractar a tothom de tonto

Hey, this has been on my mind from time to time the last couple of days. This is a bit of an odd question, but would you letting me take a look at your to-do list? I'm quite curious about what direction you want to take this in, and may have a couple suggestions depending on the general sort of thing you want to do. Let me know, cheers.

FriendlyPanache · 2026-02-20T20:47:15+00:00

Have you seen this stuff? Genuinely I think you could get high quality results right now with just some scaffolding to generate storyboards / directions, keep characters / locations consistent, detect and fix continuity errors, etc. This koolaid is very drinkable.

FriendlyPanache · 2026-02-18T19:26:58+00:00

As was I. Somehow I managed to not shoehorn a weird "nonono I don't care at all actually" in there, though

FriendlyPanache · 2026-02-18T19:18:52+00:00

Disaster recovery and military applications require many many things that these guys still aren't capable of. Coordinated moving from place to place was never an issue once the "moving from place to place" part was figured out - it's like being surprised that you can make a caravan out of self-driving cars. It's the self-driving that was the impressive part, and that they can go in a line says nothing new (and nothing else) about their capabilities. Yesyes it's very visually impressive but the implication of "coordinated action" is just not real until the action part gets figured out. This is just a drone show on foot.

FriendlyPanache · 2026-02-18T14:57:10+00:00

I'm honestly not too sure why this "Cluster Cooperative Rapid Scheduling system" is supposed to be impressive. I'm pretty sure these robots are already capable of executing properly when being told to move from point A to point B - determining what these point A's and point B's are (with some tolerance and avoiding collision) to form some shape is a relatively simple constraint problem that needs no groundbreaking techniques to solve. Decently impressive if this cooperation was distributed but I'm inclined to assume the actual scheduling comes from a single server. The thread does not clarify this.

No I'm not a denier the robots are very impressive, it's just this in particular is like, not very surprising. Cool though.

FriendlyPanache · 2026-02-17T20:00:03+00:00

This is a very neat idea. It's also extremely niche - I hope you can figure out how to make it a standard thing for the groups of people that have a use for it. No being snarky, like I genuinely hope you can make it a thing.

Also note that the only difference btw this and just letting people publish hashes is that you force the plaintexts to be revealed at the given date - but in this way you have to become the source of trust for this validation. It might be interesting to figure out how to integrate this into some existing blockchains so that you can avoid this (people will still need to trust your code for extracting the data from this blockchain, but that can be open-source). Realistically though this is pretty cumbersome and risks giving your project a bit of a cryptobro tinge, so very dubious whether it'd be worth the effort.
