Most humans can live deeply fulfilling and joyful lives without causing as much suffering as they do now. They don't need to feel guilty about what they are doing now so much as strive to cause less suffering. Maybe you must eat fact

> Without cattle there is not the need of meadows anymore. This is just silly. I can't imagine an internally consistent worldview that would assert something like this. Of course natural biomes are valuable regardless of the presenc

I recently started working on a project with typescript for the first time. I have been astounded by how often my code works the first time I try it because so much is caught by the typing system. I know what I want my code to do, how it sh

I wonder if Apple has a secret internal Linux distribution in use on Mx. I seem to recall reading that they had an x86/x86-64 internal distribution but maybe I am thinking of another company...

> Chrome's dominance of the Web is very scary. Not as scary as IE's, since it's open source, but still, it's such a huge beast that it's almost proprietary through complexity. I don't know if there's an

My understanding of these AIs is that they are idle - nothing happening in the program's loop except waiting for input - unless being prompted with some input (e.g. a conversation). The AIs are purely reactive. Does sentience require s

Sure is an interesting claim. Key words include "proposals", "emerging", and "might" - sounds like we have not demonstrated any of those processes just yet, but the people who know what they are talking about t

Power supply issues like this are why I am very skeptical of our whole planet going electric (vehicles and everything else). Perhaps in places like Norway where power is plentiful due to hydroelectric plants [1], electric vehicles make sens

A significant chunk of the web extension API is not yet implemented so some extensions do not work. But having my bug reports for extension issues addressed is very encouraging, as are my interactions with the team creating Orion. I think t

Orion is usually ahead of Safari as it has a much faster release cycle and uses the latest Webkit version. I understand there was a bug in a recent webkit release so Orion rolled back to the previous webkit release - but besides situations
