The old primary argument against panpsychism has now become the primary argument for it

Panpsychism is the idea that everything is conscious to some degree (which, to be clear, isn’t what I think). In the past, the common response to the idea was, “So, rocks are conscious?” This argument was meant to illustrate the absurdity of panpsychism....

We are the Pinnacle of creation! Nothing can be better than us by definition! Even the thought that a mere complex computer can be a person is heresy and absurd and can only be answered by ridicule and mockery. /s

Unfortunately a lot of professional philosophers think a bit like the above :(

weker01 ,

For the record I did not down vote but I can see how people dislike this kind of over enthusiasm for drugs still in trial. Many people got burned before by false hope :(

But it isn’t in this case. Look for example their deranged longing for “remigration”.

Just be careful about food safety. I also like to try local food >.<

I’m from Germany though. Look at my instance URL.

Edit: And as I implied I’ve experienced the aftermath of not being careful :(

Funny Gentoo actually was my gateway to arch. Loved the customizability of Gentoo and the rolling release model.

But building Chrome and Firefox (I needed both for work reasons sometimes) every update was the nail in the coffin. Switched to Arch and didn’t miss a thing.

Yep optix works on Linux. Blender is also generally faster in Linux btw.

Please use parenthesis to avoid ambiguity. N/1/2 could also mean N/2…

(Also I think you made a typo “2N/2” should be “2N/1”)

Legally yes it would be easy. Practically we do not have the infrastructure anymore for it.

Heck iirc the state doesn’t even have the capability to know who would need to be drafted anymore.

Aren’t both choices technically apex predators?

Nothing at all…

Infinity + infinity = 2 * infinity… 3 * infinity … Infinity * infinity = infinity^2 … Infinity^3 … Infinity^infinity …

If infinity is the “first” i.e. Natural infinity than those are all well defined things (Ordinals)

weker01 ,

That is the way it is often taught but actually both sets are infinite that is have no ends or in other words are not bounded.

The thing that is confusing to understand is that the question how many there are and how much there is diverges at infinity.

Our intuition (as finite beings) is broken here. Both sets are infinite but in one is more than in the other. That does not make one set more infinite than the other. You cannot be more unending than to literally have no end.

weker01 ,

That is until you meet analysis people that define a symbol for infinity (and it’s negation) and add it to the real numbers to close the set.

Also there are applications in computer science where ordering stuff after the first infinite ordinal is important and useful.

Yea unfortunately we do kinda calculate with infinity as a concrete thing sometimes in higher level maths…

I know. I’ve studied this extensively. I am specialized in formal logic and by extension set theory. I’ve worked with and help write actual research papers in this field where this is basic knowledge.

I’ve never claimed there to be a bijection between the reals and the natural numbers. Please point out what statement I made that is wrong. I would very much like to know.

Also no you do not have to accept choice for this to be true. ZF is perfectly acceptable to study various infinite sets with differing cardinality.

Edit: This is what I mean when I say that our intuition is broken. One set can be larger than the other but both be non-ending that is infinite.

Beeing larger does not mean it is more infinite!

My use of language could very well be incorrect. I am not a native English speaker anyways. That’s no reason to be so condescending.

I was just merely stating my credentials to have a basis of discussion but you do not seem to be interested in that.

Is it just me or is this image extremely low res?

weker01 ,

It is and it’s a nice picture does remind me of the time I was in Finland.

That’s just insecure communication. Nothing to do with beeing introverted.

In most situations it’s easier to clearly and honestly communicate ones needs. People that take offense to confident and honest communication should be avoided anyway.

weker01 ,

Did you talk to them about how it makes you feel? I would suggest doing that with the caviate that you should stay with your feelings and not be accusatory. Even though I know it is hard to do.

Text even completely fictional can be CSAM based on jurisdiction.

What makes jobs real?

Internationally? I know that in Germany there are cases.

What has your sanity ever done for you?!

weker01 ,

Fair enough

weker01 ,

That is not an argument. Let me demonstrate:

Humans can’t communicate. They are meat. They are not communicating. It’s literally meat.

weker01 ,

I was just pointing out that your emotional plea, that this technology is just autocorrect is not an argument in any way.

For it to be one you need to explicitly state the implication of that fact. Yes architecturaly it is autocomplete but that does not obviously imply anything. What is it about autocomplete that barrs a system of the ability to understand?

Humans are made of meat but that does not imply they can’t speak or think.

What’s wrong with calls?

Why are you surprised?

Single board computer or SBC for short.

I like the 2006 one. But I’m biased I had a similar one irl

A fucking house is “little to no life savings”? Can you hear yourself?!

OK maybe not everybody but you can always wait for your inheritance, right?

Edit: do I really need to add /s? Or why the downvotes?

Ultrasound can push vaccines into the body without needles (www.newscientist.com)

Vaccines can be delivered through the skin using ultrasound. This method doesn’t damage the skin and eliminates the need for painful needles. To create a needle-free vaccine, Darcy Dunn-Lawless at the University of Oxford and his colleagues mixed vaccine molecules with tiny, cup-shaped proteins. They then applied liquid...

Not only children. I know a guy that passes out (or almost does) when they try to inject him with needles.

I find it scary that some people are afraid to do simple arithmetic and the most basic geometry…

In what way is Firefox a snitch?

Google and many other phone manufacturers contributed a lot to the upstream kernel because of android.

How I messed up by accidentally replaying all my keystrokes from the last few days (github.com)

After getting a comment from the creator of kanata (an awesome piece of software by the way) that he found my story amusing, I figured that I’d also post it here, partly as fun, partly as a cautionary tale. Also, I’d appreciate any tips as to what to check for in my system, it’s a weird feeling to know that some stuff...

River looks nice, I use bspwm for years now and always was in search of another highly configurable wm/compositor for Wayland. I hate the i3/sway way of doing things i.e. beeing very opinionated while pretending not to and doing things almost like a DE.

On first glance this seems to be it! With riverctl replacing bspc. It even allows external programs for the layout and the config is by default just a shell script.

Are there any known issues you encountered or quirks? Would you recommend it to me?

weker01 ,

This sounds exactly what I’m searching for then. Besides that I don’t know Zig and would prefer C/C++ I only hear good or familiar things. Bspwm is also not the most bug free wm when it comes to visual glitches.

Also not beeing so monolithic and relying on external programs is actually a major plus point for me. Actually I really dislike how Wayland (or rather most compositor implementations) fused everything into one project.

I think I’ll give it a try at some point.
