Exactly. If those lanes exist, they’re right next to parking, and I’m much more worried about getting doored than hit from behind by a car. Nobody looks at their mirrors before getting out of the car…
If there’s a good bike lane, I’ll take it every time.
I find the ones on roundabouts near me insulting, instead of being on the road and having right of way, you now have to sprint across two lanes of traffic without any right of way. - more dangerous!
Most of the rest are just wide pavements. Technically segregated, but you have to give way on every side road (when your not manoeuvrering around entire families) - technically safer, but not nice to use.
The rest are just short and spit you back out onto the road without and protection or markings.
bicycle lanes are usually death gutters. they’re better than nothing but it can be safer to not use them depending on where you are
there should be separated bicycle paths/lanes separated by barriers that motor vehicles can’t… y’know… easily go into or open their door in front of
also I have legitimately never seen people on bicycles disrespecting road laws unless those road laws enforce something that is unsafe. like disallowing rolling stops. car drivers violate road laws all the time though, not including speeding but i’m pretty sure almost every driver sees speeding as normal too

Come to Philly where you can see guys on fixies blowing through red lights without even looking left and right first. Or go anywhere and see people (of all ages, surprisingly) riding against traffic on the wrong side of the road - something that is the perfect blend of illegal and stupid, although not quite as illegal and stupid as the first thing I mentioned here.
Not quite, black shirt’s eyewear is very different.
Edit: And interesting, it means you don’t shut one eye, or squint, the squint possibly messing with the open eye’s aspect ratio slightly. Olympic level stuff to deal with, I guess.
What they’re saying is that the most important “equipment” they have is skill and experience.
Shooter on the let’s experience includes the classes and that particular stance. Shooter on the right uses a different stance and glasses. Both are extremely skilled and have practiced in a particular way.
An IPSC shooter from the US will have a very different stance as well.
I’m not well versed in the laptop market, so I can’t tell, but ThinkPads are never a bad choice. Try to find the best specs possible for the price. Maybe a newer gen of X1?
If I was King, no way I’m wearing that,I’ll sell it all to charity. Turn backingham palace into and orphanage. My quests would be the homeless and tell them to laugh, if I break wind. He looks miserable.
Serious question: is there a way to get access to medical imagery as a non-student? I would love to do some machine learning with it myself, as I see lot’s of potential in image analysis in general. 5 years ago I created a model that was able to spot certain types of ships based only on satellite imagery, which were not easily detectable by eye and ignoring the fact that one human cannot scan 15k images in one hour. Similar use case with medical imagery - seeing the things that are not yet detectable by human eyes.

what is your intended use case? are you trying to help government agencies perfect spying? sounds very cringe ngl
My intended use case is to find possibilities how ML can support people with certain tasks. Science is not political, for what my technology is abused, I cannot control. This is no reason to stop science entirely, there will always be someone abusing something for their own gain.
But thanks for assuming without asking first what the context was.

weaselly bullshit. how exactly do you intend for people to use technology that identifies ships via satellite? what is your goal? because the only use cases I can see for this are negative
This is no reason to stop science entirely
if the only thing your tech can be used for is bad then you’re bad for innovating that tech
Ever thought about identifying ships full of refugees and send help, before their ships break apart and 50 people drown?
Of course you have not. Your hatered makes you blind. Close minds never were able to see why science is important. Now enjoy spreading hate somewhere else.
I don’t think my reply was hostile, I just criticized your behavior assuming things, before you know the whole truth. I kept everything neutral and didn’t have the urge to have a discussion with someone already on edge. I hope you understand and also learn that not everything is entirely evil in this world. Please stay curious - don’t assume.

I didn’t assume anything. I asked you what your intended use case was and you responded with vague platitudes, sarcasm, and then once I pressed further, insults. Try re-reading your comments from a more objective standpoint and you’ll find neutrality nowhere within them.
(…) are you trying to help government agencies perfect spying? sounds very cringe ngl
Tell me again which part of your reply is telling me, you are actually interested in an objective discussion, without assuming things and wanting to start a fight for no reason.
I pointed out what I considered (and still consider) to be the most likely use for the tech you were describing, while asking you if that was your intention. A simple “no, actually I was thinking more about another use case” would have been a far more neutral and reasonable response. Instead, you assumed I was speaking in bad faith and responded in kind. You are the only one making assumptions or starting fights for no reason.

who the fuck is going to have access to this satellite bullshit and be in a position to send help? all the governments that actively want ships full of refugees to fucking sink and die? the ones that put people on trial for saving them?
brainless is honestly too good of a term to describe how carelessly fucking stupid you are
It’s not unfortunate though, it’s simply a matter of having an understanding of the world and a willingness to accept it and engage with it. It’s too bad that you seem not to want that understanding or that you lack the willingness to accept it.
My science is not. I like my bubble.
How can you possibly square that first short sentence with the second? Are you really that willfully hypocritical? Yes, “your” science is political. No science escapes it, and the people who do science thinking themselves and their work is unaffected by their ideology are the most effected by ideology. No wonder you like your bubble - from within it, you don’t have to concern yourself with any of the real world or even the smallest sliver of self reflection. But all it is is a happy, self-reinforcing delusion. You pretend to be someone who appreciates science, but if you truly did, you would be doing everything you can to recognize your unavoidable biases rather than denying them while simultaneously wallowing in them, which is what you are openly admitting to doing whether you realize it or not.

how did I know that they’d use the jew gassing chamber to gas jews, or use the torment nexus to create a nexus of torment? I was only doing the science
you’re a fucking moron, jesus fucking christ
imagine being a scientist, a person whose entire career and body of work relies on very specific premises of cause and effect, only to go on and make some shit without thinking it’s even possibly your responsibility to consider the subsequent effect of what you make
Yeah there are some openly available datasets on competition sites like Kaggle, and some medical data is available through public institutions like like NIH.
Recently played through Skies of arcadia on Gamecube (emulation). Always wanted to play as a kid, but for some reason i never bought it even though i actively saved up for it at one point. Was fun but wow am i glad i emulated it, because they do NOT respect your time. Being able to use save slots and to fast forward over the long battle animations (i skipped 8 hrs of that in total…) was essential for me actually playing through it.
I’ve raged at the incompetent UX design so many times, like recently when I was trying to add videos to the currently playlist in a certain order, since you can’t reorder yourself. The mini player blocked the controls I needed for the last item on the page, but closing the player wiped out the playlist. Cue scream of rage and a few choice words at volume.
Do they actually work? I don’t have actual experience, but I heard that they are only used by people who might benefit from them and thus the authors are automatically suspicious to the reviewer, plus you almost always cite your previous papers in a pretty obvious way, so it’s hardly blind anyway.
In my field it’s often general journal policy, not an individual choice. It’s hit or miss, as it can be easy to guess who the reviewer or author is in a niche field. I personally don’t go out of my way to figure out the author’s affiliation, even if it can be trivial. Regarding self citations, those are usually obfuscated at the review stage. I’d say that a paper is easy to narrow down to a circle of scholars, but it might be the first paper of a research associate, a throwaway paper by a PI, or a paper that aims to engage those narrow specialists. So is a kind of smoke screen.
People suspect who the author is but maybe you cited those papers because you’re afraid of getting the author to review them, or you’re a fan-boying grad student.
