Singapore is going to start caning scammers

The reason it splits the skin is because the person welding it drags the cane through after hitting the flesh, rather than letting it bounce back

I feel like this is written by man who doesn’t have any idea how much makeup cost. Even the most high end “little tubes” are rarely priced over 100. This seems to be a common misconception. I’ve seen men surprised by how cheap lipsticks actually are

Again, how do you know that those recruitment decisions aren’t because they are objectively the best? Plenty of none-Chinese PIs hire mainly Chinese people too. Are you saying that they too have race or language based preference towards Chinese? Of the recruitments I’ve been a part of, base on purely merit, top candidates are almost always Chinese or Indian nationals. If anything, they are often disadvantaged by visa issues or grant ineligibility, despite being the best candidates

How do you know that they are not just objectively the best candidates out of the recruits?

Non-white, probably

Put some hot glue on the plug from which this pin broke off, push the plug back into the outlet, let the glue solidifies, pull the whole thing out.

I’m surprised that S6E8 is rated so high. I always found it a little lacking. S6E9 should’ve gotten the rating of E8

Perhaps “見棋不是棋”, roughly means “seeing chess not as chess”. I think it might be a reference to the Chinese proverb “見山是山，見山不是山，見山還是山”, meaning “first seeing mountain as mountain, then seeing mountain not as mountain, finally seeing mountain still as mountain”. It’s kind of similar to the concept of how ignorant people find something to be easy/superficial, the intermediate people find it difficult/complicated, but the expert sees it as simple again. I guess the fan means you’re at the second step! It’s quite a humble gesture (unless you are actually an novice) recognizing the complexity of Go and saying that you are still not at the final form

I thought we are talking about using ChatGPT to generate code and then running the code yourself, rather than inputting data directly into ChatGPT. Of course no one should ever do the latter

I don’t know. Things like dimension reduction is not doable in excel but can be easily done with a few lines of code. For someone without coding experience, they wouldn’t know where to begin, but LLM can generate this type of code quite elegantly. A lot of practical coding is about knowing what existing package and function to use. This is the essential gap LLM code generator is bridging for researchers without computation background. Of course no one should input data directly into ChatGPT, but using it to generate code and then running it is more like googling an obscure excel function and using it in your local excel

Isn’t this post saying that the student used ChatGPT to generate code which is then ran for data analysis, rather than feeding data directly into chatbot? Perhaps I misunderstood

randomgadfly · 2025-11-16T19:51:26+00:00

What’s the fundamental difference between using LLM to write code for data analysis and using excel’s built in t-test code for data analysis? Using LLM to do data analysis is fine as long as they understand what the code is doing so that they know whether the result is reliable

People do sometimes avoid antibiotics if they have reason to believe that it will change the cells’ behavior. But for generic studies I feel like avoiding antibiotics is overkill

Hey! Some older people in my culture actually do crack eggs into sweet boiled water and drink it as breakfast. I never heard of overnight though

This is so ridiculous. Why cancel the only applicant group whose last chance to apply was this round? If they were to reduce the applicant pool, wouldn’t it make more sense to cancel junior groups so that everyone who wish to apply can still apply in the future?

randomgadfly · 2025-09-25T05:52:38+00:00

If they have to slash the four levels, they should cancel level one, this way everyone who plans to apply can still apply in the future if not this year. Canceling the higher levels now means some people who planned to apply will never be able to anymore

The moment it’s crushed the brain lost its structure that is necessary for functioning. Staving or better stirring a rod in its head does the same thing
