aipatselarom··on Air India flight to London crashes in Ahmedabad with more than 240 onboard
Do you have relevant expertise in this topic?
aipatselarom··on Air India flight to London crashes in Ahmedabad with more than 240 onboard
The guy's just asking if four engines instead of two would have made a difference?

It's curiosity, it's learning, it's looking for an explanation.

That's exactly the kind of comment that deserves to be here.

>[...] who doesn't have any relevant expertise,

Is that a requirement to comment on this thread?

Do you fulfill that requirement you brought in?

Try harder next time. You just blew up all the case you made around "I'm just here arguing in good faith".

But to cater to your question, no, he did not send me an email.

He did not have to do anything, I was the one who approached God.

I hope one day you are able to understand this and live in peace with others who do not wish you any bad. You're not a teenager anymore.

"US Citizens"

"US Economy"

"US Job Market"

"US Military"

"US Policy"

And many other examples ...

But now that I read about it, when you use it as adjective you have to write as "U.S.".

If you want to throw the whole argument to the trash because it's missing two dots, well ... up to you.

aipatselarom··on First American pope elected and will be known as Pope Leo XIV
My faith in Christ is way stronger than the influence of a small group of crooked and virtueless human beings.

Even if 9 out of 10 of cardinals, priests and worshippers were crooked, my faith in Christ wouldn't move one inch (2.54cm); it might actually become even greater.

I think there is a profound difference on how two different kinds of people approach religion.

On one side, I've never given much care to what the "social opinion" of something is in order to engage with it or not. My choice to follow Christ is rooted on myself, not on what I'm told to be right or wrong.

On the other, I can understand people who choose to associate/dissociate from specific groups/trends based on what they hear on the news/radio/etc... and I think that's completely valid as well. There was a even time in our past where having this trait was a desirable thing!

You're not following through. I was talking about the COVID vaccine mandates.

But what you found further reinforces my point. Thanks.

>Exceptions don't invalidate rules.

Source, you?

I could argue the opposite. If your purported "exception" applies to 80%+ of the global population, a minimal dash of common sense would make me think that's the rule, not the other way around.

Your "exception"s are quite loose, pal!

aipatselarom··on Father tries to block daughter's euthanasia in landmark Spanish case
Good. Then you don't have "autonomy over your own body".

The other commenter on this sub-thread just gave you another example of that.

>It's obvious I'm 9 years old.

Then your parents have the final say.

aipatselarom··on Father tries to block daughter's euthanasia in landmark Spanish case
Your point of view is important, I wouldn't want it to be misinterpreted or any of that sort.

What you're saying is:

1. You tried to end your life.

2. Because of the intervention of other people, most likely your family, that didn't happen.

3. You wish that didn't happen and instead would prefer to be dead.

Right?

aipatselarom··on What situations in classical physics are non-deterministic? (2018)
Could you just answer the question in turn?

Not a different question, not an essay, not hand-waving, just focus on that very concrete question.

aipatselarom··on What situations in classical physics are non-deterministic? (2018)
Read the title of this post, and the title of the question in the exchange, I will post it yet again, *sigh*

>What situations in classical physics are non-deterministic?

Is "statistical mechanics" contained within "classical physics"?

Yes or no? No need for a nonsensical philosophical essay.

aipatselarom··on What situations in classical physics are non-deterministic? (2018)
I'm trying to wrap my head around your logic. So, I'll go step by step to make sure I get it.

If you were able to perfectly balance the ball on a perfectly constructed dome, blah blah, would the ball stay static indefinitely or would it start rolling down some arbitrary path?

aipatselarom··on What situations in classical physics are non-deterministic? (2018)
>What situations in classical physics are non-deterministic?

Sorry, I didn't take my crazy pills today.

To me it is very clear that the question involves physics from the start.

Hey @aj7 and @novia.

I am very interested on this as well, feel free to reach out, email in profile.

I am actually advocating against abuse and corruption in academia, that's a swamp that really needs to be drained.

aipatselarom··on Introducing Operator
Why? The official announcement is a $500B commitment. Even if they "only get $100B" (which I doubt) do you think that will somehow be detrimental to OpenAI?

Do you understand how much money a hundred billion dollars is?

100k out of 200 million (US)? Out of 5 billion (worldwide)?

The flu makes us lose five "generational cohorts" every year, then.

aipatselarom··on Elon Musk wanted an OpenAI for-profit
(I'm @moralestapia, but on my phone)

Non-profits have a mission that has to be aligned with a public/social benefit.

No amount of structuring would help you if it turns out that your activities benefit a private individual/organization instead of whatever public benefit you wrote when setting up the non-profit.

All it takes if a judge ruling that [1] is happening, and then it's over for you and all your derived entities, subsidiaries, whatever-you-set-up-thinking-you-would-outsmart-the-irs. Judges can see through your bullshit, they do this 100s of times, year after year.

And also, "oh, but we wanted to do this since the beginning" only digs you a deeper hole, lmao. Do they not have common sense?

I'm surprised that @sama, whose major talent is manipulat... sorry "social engineering", greenlit this approach.

aipatselarom··on Comparing AWS S3 with Cloudflare R2: Price, Performance and User Experience
n = 1 aside.

I have some large files stored in R2 and a 50Gbps interface to the world.

curl to Linode's speed test is ~200MB/sec.

curl to R2 is also ~200MB/sec.

I'm only getting 1Gbps but given that Linode's speed is pretty much the same I would think the bottleneck is somewhere else. Dually, R2 gives you at least 1Gbps.

aipatselarom··on Ben Affleck's surprisingly comprehensive take on LLMs for video
Here's your "Lady on Fire" generator, [1].

"Oh but you can't compare a paragraph to a whole movie script!"

Sure, just apply the same procedure recursively, stop at a depth where you're satisfied, see [2].

Bear in mind I've only spent like 10 minutes and a negligible amount of money. Now imagine you have a year and a budget of 10MUSD to come up with the best movie script you can create with the help of AI.

It really is only a matter of time ...

aipatselarom··on Two Nobel Prize winners want to cancel their own CRISPR patents in Europe
I've been consistently arguing for #2. None of the statements I wrote suggest that patents provide a significant financial (#1) or social benefit.

Bio-rad was founded 72 years ago, what are you talking about?
aipatselarom··on Two Nobel Prize winners want to cancel their own CRISPR patents in Europe
>a patent has no real-world value unless the invention itself has a significant expected ROI

Lol. 99% of patents are cruft. And I'd be wildly surprised if revenue from patent licensing at the companies you worked at was more than a single digit percentage; mayyyyyybeeee Qualcomm but am too lazy atm. to dive through their financial statements.

Edit: I was off by 2%. See [1].

Yeah, you're right.

They'll be out of business very soon!

aipatselarom··on ChatGPT now on chat.com
Awesome. OpenAI will eat this market.

Called it a couple weeks ago → https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41884821.

Some still think "OpenAI has no moat", keep on beating that horse, lol.

aipatselarom··on JSON Patch
The point is, 99% of cases where JSON is used, it is already:

* Agreed by both parties to be the protocol they'll use

* Used for "representation" (assuming we mean the same by that, if not, please clarify)

>So if you're using Firefox

I jumped ship ten years ago; but I've heard you guys are doing quite well?

>I'm dangerously clueless about real-world JS.

Agree.

Disclosure: I'm @moralestapia but my laptop ran out of battery and this is my backup account, lol.

aipatselarom··on Puerto Rico files $1B suit against fossil fuel companies
You write "we" but I've never been approached by any company to talk about the trade-offs I'm willing to accept. I don't think companies do that sort of thing, but has that been the case with you?

One could argue "well, vote with your wallet then", but there's overwhelming evidence showing that people choose cheap over any other quality of a product, also, sometimes there's not even the possibility of a choice to be made.

What solution would you propose, then, around this?

You're right on that, I went down a rabbit hole of comparing her vs. all I could think of, and she's an absolute monster. Wow. Good on her!
