Exactly. The baseline assumption in modern neurology is that meaning, for living things, is derived from their physical experience of the world. In short that no paper definition can ever substitute for experiencing first-hand what the &quo

There's no asking, let alone answering this question beyond mere speculations, until we've defined "subjective experience" in objective terms — i.e. positively provable, measurable in some unambiguous way (not merely inf

We're hordes waiting for a usable product, but that iconic/pop moment isn't about to come, the tech just isn't there yet. Think late 2020s at best, and probably well into the 30s for the kind of refined VR we all know po

Allow me to summarize this perspective as the future of "cognitive ergonomics" of sorts and second entirely the idea that it's the biggest promise of VR from an experience standpoint. Literally immersion in a wider context, n

Side note, since it's probably a niche use-case, but using NVMe's in Z1 was both pretty effective with VMs and cheap enough on usable capacity (4×1TB for ~3TB usable). I feel SSDs are in a totally different category that makes Z1

> User concerns are mostly ignored. Indeed and I don't see how that changes _structurally_ when people "in the know" are always going to be a tiny minority — they say that about 3% of the population has the profile to work

Side-related note: You'll get there (actual DL), because your "want" is close enough to determination (as opposed to mere motivation, i.e. conscious decision versus mere fleeting feelings). On academia and grades: yes, it&#x2

The worst offense is perhaps that we've evolved quite intuitive languages that would impeccably serve most con/prosumer needs as far as "mostly static but smartly architected" configurations are concerned. Python, Go, ev

Frankly this, as a developer. I call them "showstoppers" and if there is a god of programming, they are the ultimate sin. Things like - breaking a user's multiboot - deleting user data Even if these are not bugs and merely th

Thing is, "value is in the eye of the beholder". It might be material in a strictly biological setting, or idealistic (subjective) in a post-scarcity environment. We're somewhere in-between with the digital world, the value o

There is a popular expression in French that explicits a worthy distinction: “Politique politicienne”. It literally means politician politics , or politicians' politics (a politician is a political figure, like an elected official),

It's a true wonder but much like the AUR (read: Archlinux User Repo), it's great 80% of the time when projects have reasonable popularity or committed (even 'niche') support. It's honestly a treat for personal use i

That's a lot to take in, let me get back to you a bit later. Extremely interesting, I must say at first glance. You're definitely technically stronger than me in most of these topics, I'll have to work on it a bit to clarify

It's my personal philosophy in many things, but I like to insist that it's far from being the end-all be-all of good engineering in general . Perhap so I don't fall prey to the usual weaknesses of a hacker.

Personally: - see the first step, the very next step, and that's it. You don't need to know what step 2,748 is about let alone how to solve it to take the next door. (formally: no premature optimization). All you need is the end-g
