There is no rule that the angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees. It only holds true in Euclidean geometry, which this is not.

I don’t know which thread you’re reading, but you’re not summarizing this thread. You’re having difficulty following apparently. Here’s the original post:

“It’s funny just reading the headline… Experts warn that Chinese research is getting good? Like, is that a bad thing, or why do we have to be warned about it xD isn’t research in general just good” This was posted by lemmy user: @Azzu@lemm.ee

I am summarising this thread. This, from what you quoted:

warn that Chinese research is getting good? Like, is that a bad thing, or why do we have to be warned about it

is precisely what I was referring to with

  • why is it bad that X country is doing better

You’re right on this part. Your quote there, and my quote in prior posts which match that, are the answer to that original poster.

...and then you proceeded to convey the same sentiment in the discussion:

the decline of USA’s science research indicates a problem in the USA. That is a problem, wouldn’t you agree?

The strawman I am talking to does not realise that they are being parochial and continues to argue instead of correcting their behaviour.

I don't understand how you think you can argue this point, when the conversation is literally

  • why is it bad that X country is doing better
  • because USA is doing worse

And so the title assumes that the reader is from the US and would surely agree that this development is bad.

But you know this. You are arguing in bad faith.

It was posted to this international community. Regardless of the original intended audience, in this place the discussions should not assume nationality.

This sounds very interesting. I wouldn't mind if you expanded on it.

Problem for the USA

People are upset at the lack of an episode 9 and 10 to finish the season, and while upset, one is more like to pick up on everything and anything else that could be interpreted as bad. Then one wants to find validation online. So the internet is rife with people upset at the series, picking it apart and complaining about all the details that can be complained about - things that few would have complained about had there been an episode 9 and 10 to resolve at least some of the now highly pressurised cliffhangers.

Edging is fun until you realise you're actually not getting any.

I liked the season and enjoyed every episode, except in some sense the finale. It was good TV, but I felt stressed for most of its duration because they kept drawing it out and I couldn't imagine how they would manage to resolve all the built-up tension in the time left. When there was about 10 minutes left I began to realise that all these things they were talking about on the screen were unlikely to materialise, but thought that maybe they'd focus it all on a spectacular scene in King's Landing. All hope left me when it was down to 5.

I want to complain about how they spent their screen time, but I'd rather there were simply 2 more episodes because I enjoy the pace. Maybe they could have cut the mud fight.

At the very least it doesn't handle spoilers correctly

It may be of critical importance in some games that, no matter how low the framerate is, the player never misses an event due to skipped frames.

There are also games that are not real time even in their animations, and so there may be no benefit to skipping frames rather than just letting it run at whatever framerate. Slowed tick rate mostly feels weird if one has certain expectations for the passage of time.

Link is broken for me

Once. They do not have the ability to learn or adapt on their own. They are created by humans through "deep learning", but that is fundamentally different from continuously learning based on one's own actions and experiences.

We are prediction machines, but nothing like chatgpt. Current AI has no ability to learn, adapt, or even consider the future.

 

It's almost exclusively about USA right now and frankly I'm sick of this US-centrism.
