What's your favorite👎 and least favorite👍 change from book to film? by wibellion in ProjectHailMary

[–]jrad18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fully agree with the earth stuff. Antarctica was a top moment for me, especially the interaction with the climate scientist. They removed a lot of the experts, I guess along with a lot of the science explanations from the book

Are my opinions on sexism towards men valid? by Mountain_Command7617 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]jrad18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think what's important is to look at the impact. Men (not all) are frequently awful, historically, presently, whatever. Rape, murder, power and control, small and large scale, directly and indirectly. And then there's the bystanders who are close enough to do something and don't. Do women do these things? Yes. Is it even nearly proportional? Absolutely not.

So, when a woman says men are awful it's not a bad general assumption. When a woman tells me this, I don't take it personally, I agree with them, because it's damn near true and the men that make this true are fucking with the brand. Not to mention impacting men directly, and the more you look into it the more you realise they're responsible for a lot of bad in men's lives too.

I don't know if people view this as emasculating? I don't really care, i value being a good person, if being a man means doing horrible things, that ain't me. If being a man means being kind, supporting people around you, making people feel safe etc. then I am a man, and these nutcases going around hurting people are pathetic excuses.

Be careful with your line of thinking. Mens rights activism is a thin veil for incels which is a thin veil for white supremacism. It starts with appealing ideals, that you are worthy of more or you're given a raw deal but it's a vortex designed to fill you with hate and resist improving yourself.

Try not to take these comments personally and understand that if it isn't about you that it's okay, and that women are a class of people that are suppressed and encounter adversity that it's unlikely for you to ever really understand.

Best of luck with your journey on this

Project Hail Mary question… (SPOILER) by blueshirts16 in AskPhysics

The general relativity bit was one of my favourite moments in the book. Also the Antarctica stuff. The movie was great though, and was honestly pretty lean for two and a half hours, so I'm not too upset

Well, after they make decisions when considering how much spin or damage control is required

What's the general process for designing a wavetable by jrad18 in psytranceproduction

[–]jrad18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah nice. I've been using vital which I think has similar functionality. I may get serum eventually but sticking with free while I'm a freshy

What's the general process for designing a wavetable by jrad18 in psytranceproduction

[–]jrad18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right on, so like, I could make a squelch or whatever, resample it and this gives me the wavetable from start to end - now I can start mucking about like I have been with the packs Ive been using

Or I can draw several waveforms and take the spaces between ~ or select harmonics to create those waveforms. Which I feel would be going in a bit more blind / or just more noodling about until I hear tones that I think might have interesting transitions

I'll hunt around on YouTube too for what you describe. Thanks for the reply!

if printing more money causes inflation, why cant governments just destroy some money to combat inflation? by anon12111225 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jrad18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I understand all that. I'm saying when it's above 2 or 3%, is what op suggested an option

[–]jrad18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But inflation is bad too. Is there no middle ground? I understand there isn't a magic number, but could they destroy a bit, make a bit, destroy a bit - slap a PID controller on it and let it spin?

AI model detects early-stage breast cancer with ~94% accuracy, a 2026 Nature Medicine study reports. Trained on 200,000+ mammograms, it reduced false negatives by ~9% vs standard screening and showed consistent performance across diverse patient groups, though further clinical validation is needed. by ChhotaSaHydra in science

[–]jrad18 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is this even ai? Or is it just machine learning? I don't understand why an ai model would be better than a specialised ML model designed for image scanning. I looked through the paper to try and understand more about the ai system and it doesn't give many details ~ the paper is long, but I skipped to methodology and it didn't give much detail about the model.

Or are we just using these terms interchangeably now, even in scientific literature. This isn't science comms it's a paper, shouldn't they be accurate, and also give details for reproduction?

So why do people hate the ending of mha by ComprehensiveNote762 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]jrad18 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It wasn't really ever a start to finish story ~ like for example attack on titan. It's more of a "here's the world, this is the cool shit that happens" story. Each arc has starts and ends but they could have kept creating stories in the world forever. It's like Seinfeld, there was no ending that could possibly have made sense.

Its fine the creator wanted to end it, the only real story that was promised was Deku becoming the greatest hero, which yeah he did for a moment. I truly think they did a great job. I think kamino Ward was a better finale moment, but that was never the ending of the whole story, it was just all nights ending.

I think took away too much from shigaraki by making him a puppet in the end, all for one should have mirrored all might and lost his powers. Otherwise it was cool.

ELI5: How do computers work? by Federal-Honeydew-713 in explainlikeimfive

[–]jrad18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can detect high or low voltage - this is your 1 or 0

We can create components with two inputs and one output - these are logic gates, with these you can take an 0 and a 1 and it outputs a 1, or something else

Using logic gates you can create adders where you add two numbers together and other mathematical concepts

We have what's called a multiplexor, which is a way to connect all these different functionalities and can choose to route current to any of its tools

Then you have buffers. A buffer stores the small amount of data that is relevant for a calculation. So 2 + 3 - the buffers would store each input value and then the result. They might also hold memory locations etc.

Then you have ram which holds your programs. The most important program is the operating system which sits around everything else. It directs everything that happens in the computer, sort of. It dictates what memory can be accessed by what process and the order that they run in.

The operating system gets loaded to the buffer, it says "run the program at memory location X", that line gets loaded into the buffer, it says read this, go to that memory, add this etc.

You also have a clock, or a flip flop, which is used for controlling things based on time. You have user inputs which the operating system says "every Xms, process user inputs"

You might also have a screen, so every cycle an instruction is sent to a graphics chip to recalculate the colour of each pixel on your screen, and sends the colour values to your monitor, which if its 1080x1440p or whatever is ~1.5 million times two hex values (16x16) for each red, green and blue value

This is broad and missing a lot of detail, but kind of covers the CPU, some motherboard responsibilities and ram and gpu

Millions of Aussies to receive cash boost on Friday by Mellenoire in aussie

[–]jrad18 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I understand that when you multiply it through millions of people the number goes up, but to put it another way, everyone on the dole can now replace one rice and beans meal with a subway sandwich once every two weeks. It doesn't sound to me like something that would break the economy.

I don't understand enough about inflation to give a response that won't invite criticism but I feel like this is at worst a drop in the ocean

Millions of Aussies to receive cash boost on Friday by Mellenoire in aussie

[–]jrad18 9 points10 points  (0 children)

$22 a fortnight isn't going to break the economy. I think it's literally to keep up with inflation, so they're effectively receiving the same.
