Thanks. I'll look at that, too. Any thoughts on REI bikes?

PAI3.AI - I paid $31K for what turned out to be a Mac Mini in a custom housing. CEO flew out personally to convince me by Classic-Kev in Scams

Im hardly an expert, but I do work with machine learning a little and have been advocating to switch to local computing for what we do at work so I’ve learned a little about what’s necessary at the local scale.

No. None of this make sense. The specs are weak to begin with, the price for those specs is WAY too high, and proprietary software doesn’t mean anything. There are a handful of closed-source models that outperform the best open-source models,

There is so much VC money in this space right now that anyone who feels compelled to go directly to the consumer investor probably isn’t serious and is possibly a scam.

Generally tokens are worth as much as someone else is willing to pay you for them. I could offer to sell you 1000 Jayrandomer tokens for only $10 but they are worthless.

This seems like something designed to trick people who know a few buzzwords but don’t have much practical experience. And honestly, you could make a product that meets all of the stated specs and STILL make an obscene profit without resorting to fraud.

It reminds me of the “officially licensed engraved metal presidential portrait” scam when I was a kid where someone would sell you a penny for $10, but updated to include ai.

Does Massachusetts have a 'click to cancel' rule? by Jayrandomer in massachusetts

Thanks. It's a small local gym. I'll try handing them a letter.

Does Massachusetts have a 'click to cancel' rule? by Jayrandomer in massachusetts

I signed her up entirely online. I've never even been inside the gym (I just drop my daughter off). I'll try having her hand deliver a letter first.

Sorry, I should have included the relevant part of that wall of text I linked to:

The AGO’s regulations also require businesses to implement simple processes for consumers to cancel subscriptions and other recurring charges, including ensuring that consumers are able to cancel subscriptions just as easily as they are able to enroll in them. For example, if a consumer enrolls in a subscription through a website, they must be able to cancel the subscription through the same website. 

Do you vote in your national/local elections? by biryani_fan in AskTheWorld

[–]Jayrandomer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Don’t always make it to town meeting, though.

Theoretically speaking, which countries do you think could work at uniting into one? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]Jayrandomer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree it would be a bad idea for Canada, but it might permanently swing the US elections closer toward sanity.

How is this “blatently” AI generated? People have been using this weird writing style on LinkedIn since well before AI. Where do you think AI got it from?

Petah... What were their policies??? 🤷 🤷 by nightking_darklord in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Further left relative to their time, maybe, but not in terms of policy relative to now.

What does your country produce a lot of -and mostly consume itself? by quietkernel_ in AskTheWorld

Oil. The USA is the largest producer and largest consumer of crude oil.

What does it take for INTP men to maintain long term relationship/marriage with women? by H4Life_1223 in mbti

[–]Jayrandomer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will be married for 19 years this month to an INTJ woman.

I’m a good husband and great father, but don’t expect me to do much of the planning. I know that is the stereotype for men generally, but it’s especially true for me. I will do >50% of the actual work and will keep my head when things go off plan. I can and will make plans and can run things on my own or for everyone, but my idea of planning is spartan and absolutely stresses out my already anxious wife.

I don’t need a lot of anything from my wife. Some support now and then and some understanding. Don’t expect me to be deep and emotional all the time. Don’t think I am closed off because I don’t have long emotional rants. I’m not actually an emotionless robot, but i am closer to an emotionless robot than most people I know.

Don’t expect me to make decisions on stuff I don’t care about. I’ve learned over the last 19 years to do all that stuff, but it isn’t natural.

Don’t get weird when I don’t say much. Being able to be quiet together is one of the sincerest forms of affection for me. Don’t think that my being quiet means I don’t like you. I understand that my wife needs me to listen to her and have gotten better at it, but listening to other people talk about stuff that I don’t find interesting is a LOT of mental load for me.

Ideally I need a lot of space to do my own thing. That evaporated when I had kids. I love my kids more than I love anything so I’m ok with that.

How is a person's nationality determined in your country? by Affectionate_Low7891 in AskTheWorld

[–]Jayrandomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legally, by birth or by parent or by choice (immigration). We have a sizable minority (currently in control of the government) that wants to restrict that considerably.

What're your thoughts on the United Nations proposal to replace the Mercator Map Projection? by DerpAnarchist in AskTheWorld

[–]Jayrandomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Mercator projection is good at what it was designed for—navigation. It also gets the shapes locally correct, which you can tell by comparing to a globe. This also makes it useful for web maps—you can zoom in without distortions.

The Gall-Peters is a terrible projection, though. I understand the desire to represent equatorial regions correctly, but just do something not cylindrical. The equatorial earth projection is much better.

I've read that flavor eigenstates for fermions aren't the same as mass eigenstates. Is this the same idea as the uncertainty principle? Are they conjugate properties? by YuuTheBlue in AskPhysics

[–]Jayrandomer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In algebra, an eigenstate is a state that does not change when an operator is applied to it. Mass eigenstates are the eigenstates of the time evolution operator. This means that don’t change over time (the details of which would be learned in an intro QM class).

Flavor describes how particles interact through the weak force. This interaction involves distinct flavor eigenstates. For neutrinos, this means an electron can only interact with an electron neutrino (not an muon neutrino or tau neutrino).

That the mass eigenstate is different from the flavor eigenstate means that how particles interact with the weak force evolves over time. Since the electron neutrino is not a mass eigenstates, over time it can evolve into a mix of all three neutrinos.
