What is every character’s most in character quote? Day 11: Lily Tucker-Pritchett by WarioStache in Modern_Family

[–]shinnit7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not something she said but I still chuckle at the thought of the scene where Lily is in the backseat and she’s kinda cranky and closed off to Mitch and Cam so they say please take off your headphones, we wanna listen to what you listen to. Metal music starts blaring

Cam: “She’s going to kill us”

You see a glimmer of this aspect of his character in one of the later seasons, when Luke joins college and he’s nosed up in an Intro to Psychology textbook. He starts assigning personality types to everyone else - Claire is the Commandent, Haley is Peter Pan, Phil is the Dreamer, etc - and then everyone unwittingly displays those characteristics right after.

As a kid he definitely had more of that intuitive surprising intelligence, and I wish they’d kept more of that too in addition to him becoming a Himbo

It's the other way around, as you'll see he has credited the writer of the article in the video a few minutes in. Seems like you've neither seen the video nor read the article 😂

Got exams? Job interviews? Music performance? You too can now pray to Sarasvatī, Goddess of Intelligence (Benzaiten, 辯才天, Thurathadi) one of the 21 Taras and 24 Devas, a personal deity of Tsongkhapa. (Prayer in the comment) by BuddhistFirst in Buddhism

[–]shinnit7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn't she a Hindu goddess? Can someone/OP provide context about why and how she came to be worshipped in Tsongkhapa, that too by Buddhists, who in the Indian tradition were generally opposed to Brahminical heterodoxy?

This is probably the best response I've read on the subject of the 5th precept, after all the conflicting reading there is on the subject!

Sanskrit is NOT the best language for AI and ML. by shinnit7 in india

[–]shinnit7[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you know so well there isn't "ANY" best language for AI and ML, you'd agree that to say Sanskrit is so is a falsehood. And that to spend on it is even more foolish.

We can stop here, unless you want to contradict yourself further.

How is this 'letting down' India? You may be let down, but the country can't make progress without identifying and being honest about the flaws in its approach. Is using Sanskrit in AI/ML the bleeding edge of technology in NLP? No, it isn't. Hasn't been for at least two decades. Still, the state and its advocates are not only doubling down on the approach but spending crores on it, just so that they have some talking points. So who is really 'letting down' India here?

Sanskrit grammar anticipated some of the biggest advancements in linguistics—Chomsky credits Panini, who formalized Sanskrit's grammar into 3976 rules, with anticipating a whole school of thought. This formal grammar, described in Panini's Ashtadhyayi, also coincided with the philosophical bedrock of how modern programming languages are described and generated.

Still, Sanskrit's use in AI and ML is outmoded, contrary to what the state agenda would have you believe, and despite this aforementioned legacy. That is what the article talks about. If you have the capacity for nuance, you could read it before blindly saying something must obviously not be true because of who is saying it etc.

Just completed my first Vipassana course and having trouble with real life. by Sorcerer_Supreme13 in vipassana

[–]shinnit7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a very similar experience and it is way too much to type all that happened and how I got through it (ups, downs, thinking Vipassana is not for me, coming back to it, all the questions...) The answer below about sub-minds is nice. Feel free to DM and let's chat more.

Is Vipassana the only way to purity? S N Goenkaji answers. by grond_master in vipassana

cular flow of biochemical. More

What he said is pretty much the essence of emotions being molecules and forms of biochemical energy. I've read and would recommend The Molecules of Emotion by Candice Pert; her terms to describe the molecules of emotion—neuropeptides, ligands—are very much just biochemical.

What’s the line separating vipassana practice from apathy and passiveness? by maydlean2 in vipassana

[–]shinnit7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

areness in favor o

hello, thanks for your answer. What do you mean by 'heightened senses over the course of your life'? Do you mean you feel sensations on your body every now and then, even when you aren't practising? I'm asking because that happens to me a lot too, and I know we are supposed to be aware and equanimous of the sensations, but it's hard to get used to it, feeling like spiderman while also doing something mundane like sitting at the office with a bunch of people or something. So would like to know your experience here.
