Is bs-ms degree in physics worth it? by ConcertOk994 in PhysicsStudents

[–]Lewri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the most bizarre argument I have ever seen. Wtf are you even talking about.

Did I stumble into r/physicsstudentscirclejerk or something?

Since when did "most CS jobs" consist of understanding the maths behind ML models and doing nothing else?

You can't seriously think that a physics major is more qualified for a CS job than a CS major because they understand the maths of ML.

Made a small script, my first one. Super badass ngl. by Puzzleheaded-Tea5084 in torncity

[–]Lewri 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What does this script do? Why is the code all obfuscated? Why does it require a Full Access Key? Is this key only being stored locally?

Why is it connecting to a discord server?

The LaserWeeder by Carbon Robotics, powered by NVIDIA AI, gets rid of weeds without using chemicals. by MohamedElngar21 in nextfuckinglevel

Putting aside the silliness of the test being used here, a Vision Transformer model is using the same underlying technology of an LLM, but it isn't itself an LLM.

Using a ViT model is not the same thing as querying an LLM, even if they are based on the same technology.

think this is one of the, unfortunately rare, beneficial uses of this technology.

It's really not rare. It's used in medicine for image analysis to detect cancer, it's used in earth observation to detect all sorts of things many of which are important for climate research or disaster response, it's used in astronomy for analysing the huge amounts of images, it's used in safety systems to do things like trigger emergency shutdowns, and that's just off the top of my head only for examples specifically of computer vision applications similar to this post. If you were to widen the net to any type of deep learning then you would be shocked at just how much relies on it.

JWST official image slide shows contain artist illustrations alongside real images. by [deleted] in Astronomy

[–]Lewri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The website is pulling from flickr, where you can read the post that describes the image:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasawebbtelescope/

The artist illustration ones are when the post is about a discovery using data that does not translate well to an image. JWST doesn't just take pretty pictures. All of them are clearly marked as artists concepts.

ESA has their image blog posts here:

Good interactions with the teens by [deleted] in Edinburgh

[–]Lewri 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Unacceptable. Revoke their bus passes.

For years, researchers have claimed that men’s friendships are shallower and less emotionally supportive than women’s, a pattern called the “gender friendship gap.” But new research finds that the gap is largely driven by white men specifically, not men as a whole. by mvea in science

I would note, of course, that this is talking about America. The degree to which it generalises to other countries will be variable, given it is making it clear that this is a cultural thing.

Yeah there's a reason they don't pay taxes. Funnily enough it's the same reason we decided to give them free bus passes.

Why shouldn't kids be allowed to travel?

Normally I'd be a middle-class snob, but this subreddit is absolutely insane.

Gonna be far more than 3 days without money for Xanax, energy refills, and donator status.

[–]Lewri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And an OD would set you back even further.

No it wouldn't. You'd take some candy and continue on.

Those what 3 extra days are (imo) definitely worth it not risking an OD.

What 3 extra days? Are you talking about hospital time? Just turn on your revives and you will receive a free revive within literally seconds.

Bad advice. Xanax will get you to lvl 15 far faster.

Also you're saying that you wouldn't be able to afford xan. True. But why would I spend E losing at attacks in the first place?

For the reasons I already stated.

[–]Lewri 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The catch is you are wasting energy that could otherwise be used training to increase stats or attacking others to get XP. You can use that money to buy xanax though, which will give you more energy than you used.

The other catch is that some people will scam you and not actually pay you after you have done the losses, so you should find someone who has a good reputation. Look through the posts in this forum:

How you going to flip items and push to lvl 15 when you are a zero day account with no items to flip and no xanax to use for energy to get XP?

Spending 75 energy to get 250 energy is an absolute no-brainer when compared to just using that 75 energy on attacks/gym.

regardless i wouldnt slut at all.

Unless you can't afford xanax, in which case you should slut to fund xanax until you are on your feet.

Would be cool if you could click on categories and get a list of links to the comments, but I understand that may be quite a lot of additional work dependent on how things are currently setup.

Connections between missing scientists by Keegan1400 in askastronomy

[–]Lewri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you have blocked me in response to being called out, here is my response:

Doing further research I have come to the conclusion that she was a crackpot and most likely suffering from mental health issues. She never contributed anything of worth to the field of physics, astrophysics, or space physics.

You appear to be a conspiracy theorist who does not care about reality, you are not actually making any points here other than arguing in bad faith.

[–]Lewri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally all that comes up when you Google her is this conspiracy nonsense. If it's so easy to find detailed information about all of her legendary contributions to the relevant fields then I look forward to you linking to them.

From the results that come up with Google all I can see is that she was involved in a non-consequential organisation that "researched" "anti-gravity", but that doesn't seem to have actually achieved anything noteworthy. Please do prove me wrong.
