antegamisou··on Eighty Years of the Finite Element Method (2022)
Except that everything's gotten abysmally complex. Vehicle crash test experiments are a good example of validating the FEM simulation (yes that's the correct order, not vice versa)

There are also neuro-fuzzy control based devices [Slide #4]

antegamisou··on Eighty Years of the Finite Element Method (2022)
Good luck designing crash resilient structures without simulating it on FEM based software though.
antegamisou··on Geoffrey Hinton said machine learning would outperform radiologists by now
Or maybe over-confident arrogant CS majors aren't experts on every other irrelevant subdomain and it's not some absurd absence of meritocracy/bad gatekeepers from preventing them from ruining other fields by letting them rely on everything?
antegamisou··on Paper mills: the 'cartel-like' companies behind fraudulent scientific journals
> People at dubious institutions in Europe and Asia. They get high status by having lots of papers. They then get awards and grant money. And get to be on senior level committees, etc.

There are currently labs from T-20 institutions in the US that do the exact same as well.

antegamisou··on Do AI detectors work? Students face false cheating accusations
Books? You mean neoluddist obsolete devices?? We have audiobooks now cmon !!!!!!
antegamisou··on Show HN: I made a URL expander because short links are too mainstream
The adaptation is too retro I feel.

It should instead append at the end of the URL some 1000-character long token with a ton of other irrelevant arguments.

You know, exactly how Google Search loves to do when you right-click a search result and the address gets brutally scrambled.

Academia does this to you. She's a really well controlled case.

antegamisou··on LinkedIn does not use European users' data for training its AI
Well one can't have everything.

The average webdev in many countries of Europe earns pennies and cost of living being still abysmal. Meanwhile one can only be breathing in the USA with a CS degree and easily make quite a lot, more than enough to get by.

antegamisou··on They stole my voice with AI
Aesthetically disgusting take ew. Why is everyone like that here seriously.
antegamisou··on How to succeed in MrBeast production (Leaked PDF)
No, this person/LLM model indeed writes way too long sentences.
antegamisou··on One in five genetics papers contains errors thanks to Excel (2016)
Yeah I was about to say that the news has to be that Excel has extensive use in biomedical research.

antegamisou··on Interstellar movie black hole implemented with Einstein's equations in C++
And it's not even Einstein's equations

     The geodesic equations are not Einstein's equations.
     The code for Interstellar only had to ray trace on a fixed analytical background spacetime (Kerr metric),
     rather than solve partial differential equations for the metric itself.

antegamisou··on What are the Olympics shooting competitors wearing on their faces?
Love how try-hard and over the top the rest of the younger participants ended up looking, admittedly many of them with excessive/unnecessary equipment, compared to him.

So this is ffmpeg in the cloud?
antegamisou··on Psilocybin desynchronizes the human brain
You're like 70 years late

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MKUltra

    Project MKUltra was an illegal human experiments program designed and undertaken by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to develop procedures and identify drugs that could be used during interrogations to weaken people and force confessions through brainwashing and psychological torture.

      [...]

    The project studied the effects of psychoactive drugs, particularly LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, cocaine, AMT and DMT on people
antegamisou··on How I've Learned to Live with a Nonexistent Working Memory
Yeah I have no idea what definition the OP had in mind. Nonexistent working memory must be devastating:

    Working memory is a cognitive system with a limited capacity that can hold information temporarily.
    It is important for reasoning and the guidance of decision-making and behavior.

antegamisou··on X has new rules that officially allow porn

So man cooomers ITT it's just sad.

antegamisou··on The hikikomori in Asia: A life within four walls
I'm sorry for what you've been through and I hope your health gets better. However I believe you've phrased the following a bit poorly, although I'm sure unintentionally:

    some degree of social isolation is just practical and realistic.
Unfortunately this leads to connotations that encourage people completely out of touch with the ordinary person's lifestyle (billionaires, CEOs etc.) make outrageous claims and dictating how they should navigate life with minimum wage and no insurance e.g. that CEO who said skip breakfast to save money, or HN's favorites that we should just shut up and be content with modern tech automating our creative abilities instead of assisting us with menial tasks.

Instead if you had written social isolation is inevitable without controlled financial and health stability, you'd be 100% spot on.

Human, social isolation and practical/realistic just don't fit together.

You can pretty much extrapolate this to billionaire's understanding of sci-fi. They're deliberately missing its cautionary-tale essence and are instead thrilled by the dystopic scenery. There's this spot-on meme-saying:

    The billionaires investing in space travel don't want Star Trek. They want Dune

Not glad to be making the same comment in less than 24 hours but it's even more fitting here:

Untreated mental illness.

antegamisou··on I uploaded 11 years of my Day One Journal data to GPT-4o
Untreated mental illness.
antegamisou··on Orthodox C++
3 out of 3 people replying haven't been able to differentiate C+ (orthodox C++) from Bjarne Stroustrup's C++. I posted the hello world code to show it's a poor example as it displays similitude between C+ and C.
antegamisou··on Orthodox C++
The hello world C+ example is literally hello world in C

    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main()
    {
        printf("hello, world\n");
        return 0;
    }
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
