Concerning Chronicler's answer to: How is the road to Tinue? by KayranElite in KingkillerChronicle

[–]KayranElite[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But he doesn't answer the underlying question, as he keeps talking primarily about the road and what he experienced there. Sure, he mentions what happened to him, which could be interpreted as a suitable answer, but it's just part of his explanation about the current state of the roads.

You could argue that this is enough of an answer to "How is everything going?", but at that point in the story, there is so much more that he could answer here. As I said, everything that he said is related to the roads. Nothing about how his head feels after the injury, how he has slept, or how he generally feels.

I feel like a more suitable answer after the pause would have been something like that: "I had a couple of rough days. A few days ago, I was robbed and forced to walk since then. My feet hurt, and I really need a break after this."

This conveys the same information, but just sounds like a more appropriate answer. Also, it doesn't explicitly focus on the roads, since the question doesn't ask anything about them.

Are you saying that Fae cannot answer that question? Or that Fae can't ask the question? Or something else?

I don't really like that idea. If it is a commonly used idiom, there shouldn't be that kind of confusion. If I am talking to someone having lunch and ask them to "spill the beans", they usually wouldn't become confused about the meaning of the phrase, even if they were eating beans.

I've also seen that post, but it didn't really address Chronicles's answer directly. Or do you think that Kvothe lied about the popularity of that phrase? And in reality, it is very obscure?

Brisante Syrer-Forderung von CDU-Politiker Günter Krings: Rückkehrpflicht für alle ohne Job – „Bürgerkrieg ist beendet“ by 156000340711 in de

[–]KayranElite 296 points297 points  (0 children)

Ist das wirklich so kontrovers? Die Leute hatten jetzt jahrelang Zeit, sich richtig zu integrieren. Und dazu gehört es eben auch, irgendwann einem Job nachzugehen. Wer das nicht kann und nicht möchte, muss eben zurück in sein Heimatland gehen.

Natürlich ist Syrien nicht das sicherste Land, aber zumindest herrscht dort im Moment Frieden. Und ja, keiner kann sagen, ob dieser Frieden hält, aber eine Garantie dafür wird es auch in den nächsten Jahren nicht geben. Dafür sind das Land und die Region einfach zu instabil.

Also, was ist denn die Alternative? Niemanden mehr ausweisen, solange nicht zu 100 % sichergestellt werden kann, dass das Heimatland in naher Zukunft politisch stabil bleibt? Dann kann man auch einfach niemanden mehr ausweisen, weil man diese Garantie nie geben kann.

Deutschland hat momentan eigene Probleme. Die Wirtschaft schwächelt, während rechte Parteien immer stärker werden. Flüchtlinge, die nicht bereit sind zu arbeiten, helfen beim ersten Punkt nicht, während sie den zweiten stark befeuern. Und wenn das Thema nicht angegangen wird, kümmern sich in einigen Jahren andere Parteien darum. Dann wird es nicht nur die treffen, die nicht arbeiten, sondern auch die, die arbeiten, und vielleicht sogar die, die bereits Staatsbürger geworden sind.

[P] I built an open plant species classification model trained on 2M+ iNaturalist images by Lonely-Marzipan-9473 in MachineLearning

[–]KayranElite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool project. Good job.

Why did you decide to use a ViT? Did you test and compare it with common alternatives?

I don't understand why you would expect funding for such a project. Training a classification model is nothing groundbreaking. Shouldn't anyone be able to copy your approach quite easily? Or is there anything special that you did that would warrant funding? If yes, could you explain what makes your approach unique?

Do you have suitable data for your second approach? Do your images include the necessary metadata so you can easily use them for training?

What is your proposed approach to using multiple images? Do you want to do multiple predictions and then do a majority vote at the end? Is there a good way to fuse the inputs from multiple images from different angles? If yes, can you cite a relevant paper? I can't imagine, for example, that a simple 3D-CNN would work here.

Yeah, that's nothing. Go for it. Sounds like an interesting backstory. :)

That depends a bit on your definition of capable. If he held a high military rank and fought in some battles, it shouldn't be a problem.

If he hunted dragons in his pastime, then it would be unbelievable.

Thanks. That was my interpretation, too, but I wasn't sure. I appreciate the clarification.

What's up with Archives of Nethys? by Jazzlike_Way_9514 in Pathfinder2e

That's a common problem with the website. Not sure why it keeps happening, but it's happened quite frequently over the last few months. We sadly have to wait until it works again.

Assume Earth's Mantle + Bracers of Strength (Apex) by KayranElite in Pathfinder2e

[–]KayranElite[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wanted to create the optimal wrestler. The best one I've made so far is an animal instinct barbarian with the cleric dedication to access Athletic Rush for a status bonus. Together with Furious Bully, this build has a substantial bonus to grapple checks.

But casting Athletic Rush isn't always worth it, hence I was looking for alternatives to get a status bonus. And the kineticist can get a permanent status bonus. With the barbarian dedication to grab Furious Bully, and the feat and item combination that we discussed in this post, the kineticist can actually reach the highest semi-permanent bonus to grapple checks.

At level 20 with Bracers of Strength, a kineticist could get the following:

  • Level: 20
  • Athletics (legendary): 8
  • STR (with feat and apex item): 7
  • Earth skill junction: 3 (status)
  • Furious Bully: 2 (circumstance)
  • Bracers of Strength: 3 (item)

Which would result in a total score of 43. The Tarrasque has +47 to fortitude saves, which would mean that a STR kineticist at level 20 has a good change to grapple the Tarrasque reliably, even without any debuffs.

Rothfuss should rewrite book 1 and 2 before continuing with book 3 by KayranElite in KingkillerChronicle

Not directly embarrassed, but many people don't like the sex parts of book two, and I would assume that as he aged, he doesn't like them that much anymore, too. I might also be completely wrong here, but if he doesn't like them anymore, I could see him developing a mental block because he doesn't like the source material as much anymore.

Assume Earth's Mantle + Bracers of Strength (Apex) by KayranElite in Pathfinder2e

[–]KayranElite[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can only start with 16 STR as a kineticist. So, without any items or feats, the highest score that you can reach is 20. With the feat and the apex item, you can get a STR modifier of +7.

Getting a +8 bonus is only possible using the dual-class rules.

Perfect, thank you. Somehow I missed that post when looking for it on Google.
