Jfc, this topic is like what I would expect if an alien discovered netflix and then ran to the human forum to figure it out.

So, did you make this topic because you were mad about initiatives to open opportunities to women in STEM?

Clearly the same person.

Lol, this is a weird troll.

The scanning sequence that tracks blood oxygenation (BOLD) to understand brain function produced an artifact in the data. So all of the data tracking brain function coming from that center had it. The artifact was dead center in the frequency band where you expect to see real signal, so if you tried to remove it, it removed the real signal as well.

More or less, their functional MRI data was borked in a pretty unrecoverable manner. Head of the center didn't think it was an issue because they were still seeing the effects they expected. They were definitely wrong. Then I gave up trying to help them.

I'd like that a lot. I took part in a couple of studies at the University of Michigan when I lived nearby, but unfortunately never got in on anything involving brain imaging.

I worked on some data coming out of the UM imaging center during grad school. Their BOLD sequence was producing a GIGANTIC artifact that completely overwhelmed the data. Despite throughly characterizing it and demonstrating that it was essentially fatal for function imaging scans, the heads of the center didn't care too much lol.

I'd call TC a racist pos, but the mods would probably zap my post before they ever touch the topic spewing racist screed.

Think its more for creating a normal brain database. Theyre logging a bunch of fairly young, in shape men and women without any major health conditions to compare to different brains by people with various conditions theyre studying, like Alzheimers or something.

Ah, there's just different MRI sequences that highlight different properties of tissues. So I was wondering if you knew what of those they were going to be collecting.

Do you know what scans they'll be doing?

Meanwhile over the past 5 years people have latched onto the phrase and used it in pretty much in any socially sanctionable situation involving someone under the age of consent.

You would think that a corollary to winning a war wouldn't be having your citizens massacred.

But maybe that's my misunderstanding.

The world is sitting back and just watching Russia literally massacre cities of Ukrainian citizens partially because there's this ongoing narrative that the Russian military has completely failed.

Much of this new impression you get is a propaganda by western goverments to undermine Russia and reduce unrest about the situation in the west.

Marked this topic when it was first created. Still up.

I just got an email from them asking me to update my address.

Might want to check yourself if you are openly agreeing with a nazi, specifically a nazi's comic that is anti-interracial relationships.

Lol.

D3 in general just failed as a Diablo game. Fine enough ARPG, but bad in general as a continuation of Diablo.

Quick question, did you play the original Diablo?

Everybody seems to be getting "the flu". Strange.

Makes sense. In a grid like city layout, all you have to do is move in orthogonal axes. City block distance means that as long as you are getting closer to the target, you're moving in an optimal fashion. So you don't need to plan the whole route, you just need to know how many blocks in each direction, and then move in any random order.

It's fine, didn't you post like a month ago that peace agreement had been reached in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict?

Seems like that situation is solved, so no need to consider it in budgets.

Bad movies can absolutely be enjoyable.

If you enjoyed it, it is good.

I think people who thing the two things in the topic title are different things are probably too pretentious.

I rarely feel the irrational urge to punch someone but it happened twice during that We Crashed trailer.

I mean, that's the point isn't it? I think he's great in WeCrashed.

"Sanctions"

Just as effective, but has massive public approval.

Good show, slightly disappointing ending.

Now that grooming means pretty much nothing, I suppose it's only appropriate?

BK sandwiches are massive in comparison to pretty much any other chain

US intelligence is attempting to shape the narrative, I imagine.

Have you heard little lambs screaming? Sounds human.

Also, she was a child.

I need my zelda to be dark and broody for big kids like me.

The correlation here is probably extremely extremely small, therefore meaningless for you to think about.

Undergrad TAs? They aren't real TAs.

I mean, it's just blatently silly.

In no universe composing humans, real life actual humans and not cartoons, does a professor get revenge on a class for beating the mean by 10 points by spending hours constructing a new test. The motive is fucking stupid and the idea that a professor would waste their time like that is ludicrous.

What's more likely the case is that the first exam was largely easy review material, which is deceptively easy in comparison to the rest of the course. Students got surprised by the difficulty of the real material, and a "i bet he made it really hard to get back at us for beating the mean on the first exam" spread its way through gullible students who view professors as adversaries for making them learn things.

Let's get some grindage!

The story as the TC told it has the teachers assistant literally informing them this was a spite test intended to punish them

Yeah, that's bullshit lmao.

buddhamonster posted...

What about grading schemes meant to inflict pain on the students without actually teaching them anything? Care to explain what good habits this is instilling in the students?

Not sure anyone has a full story here. I've been told I provided questions on exams that "were totally new material" just because the questions required students to think about the material rather than just regurgitate it.

I sincrely doubt the professor gave an entire exam of inappropriate material and will just leave the grades as is. Doesn't sound plausible to me, and if it sounds plausible to you, you might want to consider how you are viewing your professors.

There are probably a lot of people who believe this but dont you see the issue with this logic?

The point of a college degree is to show you are knowledgeable in a certain subject as certified by the school. This logic goes against that.

Usually most policies that students rail against and state "i'm paying to be here" tend to be ones that attempt to enforce good habits in students. Like grading schemes that enforce attendance.

Youre paying them to teach you, not do whatever they want.

Naw, you're paying the university to attend classes class, classes which professors have the freedom to structure however they want. You don't get to demand how a class is structured because you pay tuition.

PatrickMahomes posted...

tenure is a mistake

Naw.

The biggest issue here is that paying tuition doesn't entitle you to jack shit in the classroom.

"We're paying to be here" is the the phrase students use to justify fucking around and finding out where it comes to their college education.

There was a second caddyshack?

They haven't made a good final fantasy since 10, so I don't know what gave you the impression that they were so competent.

No, no he didn't. He apologized to spotify for putting them in the hot seat.

I liked the origin story of the homunculi in the 2003 anime more than Brotherhood.

Yesterday, March 29th, at 09:37:57.425888 GME was halted limit-down after trading at $182.79 at 9:37:57.402 off-exchange. The high price for the day had printed at $199.41, first at 09:34:58.508 (off-exchange) and then finally at 09:35:02.893 4 seconds later. This is a decline from the high of $16.62 or 8.3%, in almost 3 minutes. The halt was a result of the NBBO crossing below the Lower Price Band as determined by Limit-Up/Limit-Down, better explained here. Basically, the National Best Bid crossed 5% below a reference price, which is the arithmetic mean of the last 5 minutes of trades.

From your earlier article, which you didn't read thoroughly I suppose.

The hault happened after a rapid decline of GME...

That's both unsurprising and unrelated to the point of this topic though.
