I'm not quite sure what you mean. Features of the purpose are repurposed, but the purpose remains there all the same.

So?

We're not going to escape our biology.

by HKH2 3y ago
You were talking about people being detached; to be attached to the reality of life is to act, to reproduce. Our biology tells us that we ought to have children, but we don't see it very clearly because we have found ways to hijack our

Our purpose is pretty clear: to reproduce. What sets us apart from other animals is the way we structure our curiosity.

Maybe people have had enough of worrying about copyright infringement, licenses, attribution etc. and just want a quick sketch to get the idea across. Art is a tool for expressing ideas after all.

Maybe you need to get somewhere fast at night; public transport doesn't usually run all night. Also, you might find your commute to work requires multiple hops. Public transport might be crowded to save costs, and that might be terribl

You are talking about strawmanning. Do you not see the irony?

by HKH2 3y ago
True. Let me be more precise: the legal system forces (or is meant to force) shortsighted people to deal with long-term consequences. The law is constantly revised to preempt future consequences, but it is not perfect. (Ex post facto laws a

Won't that help preserve it?

One clear difference is that EDM tends to have a lot of lyrics, whereas Techno tends not to.

I have the belief that humans are innately selfish and shortsighted. Obviously corruption is not viable long-term. Laws should make corruption not strategically beneficial, but if you can find loopholes or people to bribe, they are more or

by HKH2 3y ago
Why would an AGI stick to what seems to be a set of arbitrary rules and not look outside of them? The AGI would be smarter than that, no? Or is there a way to make an AGI immune to hubris?

And if they know you better than you know yourself, they can control you better than you can control yourself.

by HKH2 3y ago
The hardest part is the AGI. People could easily sell their souls to the AGI devil to get knowledge and power, since if it truly is AGI, it should be able to make ideas compelling.

Most people in society throughout the ages have not done the majority of their thinking. It has been handed to them from a pulpit or something similar. Even without an explicit religion, people still want someone to follow, so now successfu

Do you mean to say that fzf can find synonyms?

by HKH2 3y ago
Not OP, but when searching for files, spelling something wrong, or using the wrong synonym is a big problem. We're just used to computers being inflexible.

Mandarin speakers will probably forget how to write characters over time anyway, as they depend so much on Pinyin.

In Australia, that's when the song ends with 'brown bread' (dead). I assume it's British.

Americans love French. It's their nitch. It probably comes from reading so much Nitchski.

Spanish and German are far more consistent than English. Mandarin Chinese has Pinyin which is modern and quite consistent - Pinyin is very useful because you can type it and select the corresponding Chinese characters.
