wait how has noone thought of this?

Aurenkin,

Yeah I think there were some folks who thought about splitting the atom right? I forget who.

Anyway, now I am become wealth, buyer of worlds.

StringTheory, in Everything is a derivative of physics.

The ol’ “philosophy is just applied history, history is just applied psychology, psychology is just applied biology, biology is just applied chemistry, chemistry is just applied physics, physics is just applied mathematics, mathematics is just applied philosophy.”

Which I saw as graffiti in a university bathroom back in Ye Olden Days and has stuck with me ever since.

eestileib, in Natural Malachite Stalactite (Origin: Arizona, United States)

For a non inconsiderable number of Hindus, this is roughly equivalent to a tortilla with blotches that look like Mary.

It’s a “natural lingam” and is an expression of the immanence of Shiva.

mayo_cider, in Machine Learning is when machine learns, stupid.

The only areas of machine learning that I expect to live up to the hype are in areas, where somewhat noisy input and output doesn’t ruin the usability, like image and audio processing and generation, or where you have to validate the output anyway, like the automated copy-paste from stackexchange. Anything that requires actual specifity and factuality straight from the output, like the language models attempting to replace search engines (or worse, professional analysis), will for the foreseeable future be tainted with hallucinations and misinformation.

tryptaminev, in Machine Learning is when machine learns, stupid.

Man i dont know. I had an introductery lecture into ML and we were told of some kernel stuff, where you look at a space that could be infinite dimensional and that you do some math to project into low dimensional feature space, where your seperation still works because of your kernel function.

That isnt some black box art form, that is clearly black magic.

breakfastburrito, in This is my Vietnam.

A lot of those academic “printed on demand” books are like this, too. Very annoying. Yea they’re out of print and old library physical copies cost over $100, but the “new” ones always look like this but faded instead of over saturated.

Gork, in This is my Vietnam.

trinitrotoluene, in CAPTCHA

GOTCHA

Shurimal, in CAPTCHA

While the picture of the PCB is just blurry enough to be virtually illegible, it should also be a black-and-white photocopy of 13th generation for maximum effect.

LegionEris, in Your Brain Is Not an Onion With a Tiny Reptile Inside

Well obviously. We’d smell the onions if they were just inside of our noses and all around us in crowds. It must be a gourd or something with a lower scent profile.

navigatron, in Your Brain Is Not an Onion With a Tiny Reptile Inside

Why not? What if I want it to be

StellarExtract, in True

I think that guy is speeding

BurnedDonutHole, in void

I mean technically it’s not in your heart. It’s the arteries that gets filed with cholesterol plaques. You die due to the lack of blood in your heart which is ironically causing a bigger void that causes you to die.

HawlSera, in Point taken

What’s an LK99? I’m out of the loop.

HawlSera, in 🐈‍⬛

This reminds me of all the generalizations RationalWiki jumps to when it wants to debunk something it doesn’t understand.

Mind you I’m not saying you can cure cancer with rocks unless those rocks are processed into the materials needed for chemotherapy

I’m saying this site is horrible at debunking things even when those things are easy to take part.
