Not yet, but I'll have a look, thanks! I'd need it to work well with touch, for phone or pad users.

I wish there was a nice, light-weight library like this for creating node-graph editors in Javascript.

Minor nitpick: "And" in latin is "et", as in "et al.".

"Qualia" are really just a reframing of (an aspect of) consciousness, which has been speculated to be purely epiphenomenal. Maybe we're just along for the ride, and our actions merely happen to mirror our decisions - or the o

No, but they want to profit from the existing prices, which they do by building new ones. Builders earn their money by building , not by gloating over the prices.

Now you've given me the idea of coaxing new bible verses out of an LLM. Maybe we can even get one to confabulate a complete additional book! =)

Ah, I think we're at least partially on the same page. To me, considering the consequences of my actions is just good sense, that doesn't make me an utilitarian. Utility is subjective and ordinal, not cardinal. That means you can&

China matches Germany in per-capita CO2 also, with a rising trend as opposed to Germany's trend which has been falling for decades. https://ourworldindata.org/co2/country/china?country=CHN~DEU

Interesting, I didn't know that utilitarians had figured out a way to oppose Omelas. (Doesn't make me change my mind about not being one, though.)

I know computers were slow, and Moore's law was what made really big networks computationally feasible. Still, the decisive algorithmic breakthrough for the Perceptron was applying BP to MLPs. Without multiple layers you can't sol

You got that wrong, the problem with multilayer networks at the time was not about scaling, but how to train such a network at all. Using error backpropagation for training multilayer networks was what overcame that problem, not Moore'

One problem is, all the relevant people were on board with the long standing emergency plans for a viral pandemic - which was to protect the most vulnerable groups, while leaving everyone else alone - right up until a viral pandemic hit; th

I don't think the ideological overhead of "cooperation is good" is a leftist one. Quite the opposite, if we qualify it down to "voluntary cooperation is good" it forms the heart of capitalism. The problem with left

It just doesn't work for everyone. Never did. I quickly realized I absolutely hate setups with multiple monitors, when I was given one at work. I quickly gave back my second monitor, because it just made it worse for me, and additional

Depends if you go for geographical location or the iron curtain east/west distinction, which is still used by many and culturally relevant.

I am not a positivist, so that statement is quite okay for me to make. I can judge a process that aspires to be scientific by how likely it is to result in an approximation of objective truth.

by _0ffh 3y ago
Any single player (scientist) cannot be purely objective. Which is exactly why diversity of thought is essential for science (the process) to work. Scientists with different points of view can then challenge each other on the basis of evide

Science only gives us an idea of "What is?" , it does not really help with the question of "What ought to be?" . Proper science is value neutral.

Can confirm. Most people probably wouldn't believe the effort that is spent on improving the physical engine models in the ECUs in order to save a few bucks on sensors. Precisely, as you wrote, because those few bucks multiply while a

As you mention "naval warfare in space", David Webers "Honor Harrington" series is apparently quite well regarded. Weber himself has described the series as "Horatio Hornblower" in space.

It's a split meme that refers to the emotional rollercoaster of a prolonged uncertain situation whenever news come in. Its two parts are "It's so over" when there's bad news and "We're so back" when t
