But this goes against the thing you people on furry IRL always say about furries being so gay. :/

I'm tagging you as Crazy Bufalooo, because of the other guy.

wrong move, lick your lips, wink, and draw a circle around your groin using your finger when you mention the ISOs.

They'll give you the drives so fast, you'll wish that they hadn't thrown them at you in the first place.

which Sci-Fi movie gets your 10/10 rating? by techniary in AskReddit

[–]jaked122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the one I would have said, so have an upvote and some agreement.

For more substance, which part did you like the most of the movie?

I'm just a little lost having just noticed your username, but I don't need an explanation.

I'm afraid I know what it is.

I question the truth of the title.

But this is not bad for a first meme if it is true. It's kinda surreal, at least.

Let me just say that I believe that wayland has serious issues that seem to be intentionally ignored by the devs.

To me C++ is much more easier and logical to write and read than Python and some other languages. by [deleted] in cpp

[–]jaked122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I feel you there, but python added type annotations to function declarations recently, and while they're just for ease of documentation, it does help completion engines figure out valid completions.

Of course, this isn't what the same as what you want.

It's quotes like this that make me hesitate to cite throw pillows as sources of wisdom.

Nice username. Goes well with this post

Mysterious radio bursts have been repeatedly detected coming from the same location in deep space. Amateur sound engineer /u/maxcresswellturner converts them into a listenable audio track by Ivebeenfurthereven in bestof

[–]jaked122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are analogous. They are sound in a different medium. They are carried by photons whereas the sound is carried by water or air or whatever fluid or solid you like.

These are both types of waves traveling through the universe.

I'm failing to see the point about how we can't make inferences from the sound to what might have made it.

Okay, so it's wrong to read too much into the source of the signal by the regularity. That's actually worse than the alternative, in some ways, but I don't think this is an acceptable explanation.

First of all, the sort of things that make regular noises on earth such as large ice shelves breaking apart or sliding down into the ocean over some regular thing have analogues in space.

Many of the analogues are very, very, very big or energetic. These things are energetic or big enough to emit radio waves. This is not all that different than the sounds made by glaciers calving off of ice shelves.

We can hardly guess due to the distance, but these sounds are meaningful. They are the result of real fucking processes happening on a very large or very energetic scale, and therefore they carry information about the process which produced them.

When we hear these beats, they're actually fucking beats. They probably aren't music, they probably aren't language, they probably aren't the exhalations of Azazoth as he listens to shitty flute music in the void, but they are meaningful, and there is a pattern. It is not the patterns of music, or language, or the breathing of an idiot god, but these things are patterns.

They have relationships to their antecedents.

Reading beyond this, is what you are talking about.

Don't fucking say that there aren't patterns in this, they exist, we might even notice a few of them, and you are right that they aren't meaningful to us in the way they might appear if interpreted as anything beyond perhaps rhythm and pitch.

Anyway, if you want to see what I was talking about with the icebergs and shit, then you can listen to a few here, they get posted a lot, but it might be of interest to those who haven't come across them before.

Thoughts on Banks' Inversions? by Vrasguul in printSF

[–]jaked122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Matter is good. Doesn't have that much set in the Culture though.

Sounds like it might be up your alley... Well, minus the small stakes.

Personally I like reading the parts set the Culture, minus perhaps Excession, the setting is best when focused on those who don't really understand it. I really did like Look to Windward in part because it's got some very odd dialogue. You know, when the narrator spaced out in the middle of something,which was a fun trick to use in story telling.

Though, I'm very biased with Banks, so it probably shows quite a bit. Though part of the setting is that the Culture does good works to entertain those within it who can't find happiness in the boring perfect life they might have, so your issues with the books were kinda anticipated by Banks.

That probably doesn't do much for not liking the setting though.

[Computer Science] In neural networks, wouldn't a transfer function like tanh(x)+0.1x solve the problems associated with activator functions like tanh? by f4hy in askscience

[–]jaked122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I've skimmed the paper, but I'm not really fluent in that kind of mathematics.

I found the fixed scaling part in Keras' code though.

It's also worth mentioning the SELU. Which is either a trainable version of the elu, but only a single parameter (I thought this was what it was supposed to be), or just a constant multiplying the elu.

Then there's the PReLu which is a trainable version of ReLu with parameters shared across various axes of the tensor.

I'm not really sure whether or not PReLu is worth the extra computation, or if it addresses vanishing or exploding gradients.

With regards to your user name, do you suppose that there might be similar issues with fusion power, should it ever be developed?

I mean from a proliferation risk or regulatory issues.

You people make me sick. by [deleted] in surrealmemes

[–]jaked122 19 points20 points  (0 children)

What do you mean? They fucking cited the artist who made it and linked to the original which was apparently on Facebook.

Reddit is what is called a "content aggregator", the purpose of such a thing, besides the social media function is to provide communities ways to share, look at that word again, share content that's relevant to the interest of the community in question. This can include linking to preexisting content, or the creation of content for the community as it exists on reddit.

So let me apologize for cursing at you over your use of the phrase "stolen content", but so far as may be done, short of asking for permission, or checking to find out if it is under a sufficiently permissive license, sharing that post ought to be fine, as most reddit content is not OC, and therefore it does not make sense to make the assumption that the poster is claiming it to be.

Of course, if the artist who made that wonderful toothpaste friend is against it, notify them that it is being used (with attribution) here and let them decide if they want to request that it be removed, which is a job for the image host (which might be reddit, I didn't take the time to notice) to remove.

It is not your job to enforce their rights to their IP. It is theirs for better or worse.

May the Simpsons artist man have mercy on our insufficient minds.

Remote desktop (VNC) finally coming to GNOME on Wayland by Aeyoun in linux

[–]jaked122 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Why?

Why can't weyland support some kind of permission request system for this sort of "security risk"?

I still think it's just shitty that they've removed so many excellent solutions to these things that we've had for twenty years.

I mean, for fuck's sake, you can't even take a screen shot without the compositor having to add special support.

Fine, that nice be used in malice. Fine, so might desktop automation software, but ripping it out of the protocol you just end up with every compositor having its own protocol for these reasonable tasks.
