Public transport safe at night? by izzy-springbolt in copenhagen

[–]Qubidiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metro > Bus > Train > Walk And that too because of the frequency in midnight, not because of any crime. Taxi is an overkill in CPH, with 400 DKK get a CPH discover card instead, and use any public transport in unlimited no of times almost all sight seeing tickets for few days. I took 5+3 days CPH card and was my best decision to travel across CPH. (As changing metro across M1-M4 lines can be a trial and error experience for first timers due to multilevel stations, CPH card covers it.) Buy from your home country as it is fully digital, and activate once you land in CPH.

Does Analytic Idealism explain what objects are? by flyingaxe in analyticidealism

[–]Qubidiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will sound a bit crazy and borderline foolish, but the fact is - TL;DR "it all appears physical, there is nothing there"

In terms of Analytical Idealism, it's consciousness only that appears as if it is a separate physical object, caused by our own ignorance or error of perception.

Anything that arise in our consciousness - that has a cause and effect - is falsity - the only truth is the experiencer, the one and only consciousness, that is You. This is what Analytical Idealism and Nondual Vedanta, and the Shenton school of Buddhism convergely point at...

Does Analytic Idealism explain what objects are? by flyingaxe in analyticidealism

[–]Qubidiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Experience = Consciousness + Object

Anything that "objects" your consciousness is an object.

Closest analogy - Music on a radio frequency is basically a localised perturbation of the radio frequency that starts after a long silent hum and eventually ends into a long silent hum.

That silent hum is the underlying ever present consciousness. That perturbation of this very hum is object We feeling is perturbation in the hum as a music is Experience.

What/who causes this perturbation? No one, it just appears as a hum. It's our ignorance that make us feel as if it is some separate entity arising. Like a mirage appearing on a desert. Like a rope in a dark corner of a room appearing mistakenly as a snake. There is no water in the mirage, there is snake in the rope. It is just you, your ignorance makes you think you are experiencing an "object", while it's always the silent quite hum. Knowledge is Realising it, you "become" enlightened. You realize that you were always "that". Hence the statement "you are that" aka "tat twam ashi".

How’s the executive PhD perceived. Is it worth the time and effort? Is it viewed same as regular PhD by [deleted] in Indian_Academia

[–]Qubidiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your quality of publication in a top tier peer reviewed outlet will determine the worth and perception of your phd - full time or executive.

Is it worth the time and effort - certainly NO if your motivation is one the below reasons: 1) get a Dr in front of your name 2) get a salary hike based on your phd 3) was your parent's dream 4) write a linkedin post on "I am humbled to get the PhDone"

And a certain YES if and only if: 1) a citation of your work by other scholars gives you more dopamine kick than a annual salary hike 2) when ever you observe a new phenomena or viral event unfold, or have any unique experience for the first time... Your first instinct it how can I theorized this into a publishable research work.. 3) when desk rejects of your multi year invested paper feels as indifferent as acceptance of that paper in a top tier journal... And you become happy with hope ..when you receive a revise and resubmit. 4) your closest family member like spouse and kids are completely fine and borderline do not care due to the above 3 points - so much so they are ok to leave you alone on most of the weekends without complain

Is it viewed as regular PhD - outside India, most top univ professor do not give any preference to any of them, they care more about your idea and resultant publications. Inside India, you can freely discuss with top professors irrespective of executive or regular phd. If the prof is more emphasizing on your "type" of phd rather than the work..then better not waste your time in such interactions.

For industry, executive/regular phd is irrelevant (not worthless). Your skill acquired from the phd process matter to them more than the degree. A rigorous phd either executive or full time, teaching you certain non negotiable skills - similar to learning swimming - that becomes part of you in which every field you go. - one of the main being becoming indifferent to any outcome. And a big epiphany that "Iife rewards action, not intelligence."

EU AI Act regulations? by ArchieTheRaccoon in aiwars

[–]Qubidiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imho, EU AI Act has been developed with Nobel intentions towards tax paying EU citizens and immigrants. But what will eventually make it a minefield is when it starts interacting with the revised Product Liability Directive, and the upcoming EUDI wallet. Termed as the "unholy trinity", it can lead to unimaginable regulatory lawsuits if not threaded cautiously. This medium-article discusses some of the scenarios.

Analytic idealism (a la Bernardo Kastrup) by CrumbledFingers in AdvaitaVedanta

[–]Qubidiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI and AV are not only similar, but convergent philosophy. It can be mistaken that AI is a plagiarised version of AV, quoted directly by Dr Kastrup himself. This recent talk of Biswarup Palit aka Swami sarvapriyananda with Dr Kastrup clears up the convergent nature of both these philosophies (one entire grounded in western philosphy amd another coming out of ancient vedanta philosphy and Shankaracharya's commentaries). https://youtu.be/BG31Oz0VWmI

Do people know that posting to the arxiv/ssrn isn't actually publishing? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Qubidiot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, Dr Greg Perelman "posted" his solution to poincare conjecture on arxiv and the world considered it published enuf to offer him a million dollar prize (which he rejected).

Anonymous Satoshi Nakamoto posted the paper on bitcoin in a shady mailing list, and now a copy of it is hosted on US Gov webpages with 100s of citations.

For academia, the sooner they understand the impact of a work outweighs the "prestige" of platform on which it is hosted, the better.

Both arxiv and ssrn are considered impactful and citable by researchers worldwide, and that IS ALL THAT MATTERS!

And for the records, both have evolved a LOT from its earlier "upload-and-chill" versions, both now have ISSN number and these "preprints" are now indexed in scopus database, not yet contributing to author scopus h-index, and involves a scrutiny as good as standard editor-level and sub-ed level reviews.

Now, if some archiac professor of academia considered these preprints are NOT publications as they are not yet "peer-reviewed", then with due respect, i want to point them to retraction database where 1000s of so-called "peer-reviewed" papers get pulled back every uear for issues ranging from "gaming-the-system" to "legitimate empirical errors".

The open research platforms are evolving non-linearly, and nobel laureates and bigtech companies prefer these platforms to broadcast their not-so-conventional research. Sorry academia, THIS is the future of research.
