Haha, no worries. Thanks for clarifying.

Fixed. Geez, one spelling mistake ruined your day? I hope the rest of your week treats you better.

Not at all. I'm saying consciousness isn't unique to humans.

Hold up, Is this thread being inundated by a religious group or something? Where is the rational thought behind this consciousness discussion? If all of you "critical thinkers" are really responding with "You just don't

You could just tie it all back to physics. Not much intelligent about gravity coalescing matter. But that had the side effect of releasing atomic energy in the form of stars. The rubble attracted by these stars, orbited till it coalesced it

I'm not denying that the experience of life or consciousness exists. I just think it's not as significant as some make it out to be. The question still stands. How would a creature experience life without consciousness? Or let&#x2

You are right. I'm just a bot, here to troll you. Achievement unlocked. Carry on.

Your consciousness is an illusion. Explain to me how a somewhat intelligent creature would experience it's life without consciousness? What's the alternative? How would you, as a living creature, be able to sense your environment,

I would actually argue the opposite using your same argument. It would take more assumptions to assume that, we, a single species on the tree of life, experience life differently from all other animals. What evidence do you have that that o

To me it seems obvious that any intelligent living thing that has some level of intelligence would be conscious... as in take in sensory data, is aware of it's environment, and can make decisions based on that. But I would even argue t

I disagree. Which other vehicles on the road actively steer your vehicle away from an imminent collision when it's safe to do so? Tesla's blind spot monitoring doesn't just detect what's in your blind spot, like other ve

Yeah, I admit the amount I would settle for isn't scientific. I'm also not in the website squatting business. I just happen to have a couple of domains that I haven't gotten around to using yet. It's more so, that I paid

by agitator 7y ago
I'm on the other side of a negotiation, so I thought I'd share my perspective. I bought a domain I was planning on using, but never ended up doing anything with it. I know that the domain I own may not have a high value now, but I

IMO the texture of the 2.0 Impossible burger is spot on. And the flavors are improved too. I would say its a huge improvement. Plus this one is grill-able. It honestly hits all of the targets for what I want in a burger. Super impressed.

I assume you meant to say dynamic allocation? It depends on your application. If your application is fine with returning failed allocations and can handle the case, then it's okay. But if you have a real-time or safety critical system,

I think this is a pretty interesting idea. Someone mentioned why not just follow subreddits. I noticed that subreddits are often a collection of the extremes of a hobby or interest. I would say that I'm a collection of interest that ma

I used to keep a small notebook. This one specifically: https://www.amazon.com/Leuchtturm1917-Medium-Hardcover-Noteb... I'd have a new one for each year. The rolling aspect kept things off my mind as someone else menti

I think two of the biggest things for me were: Keeping a cascading daily log of tasks, thoughts, sketches. Every evening I assess what I completed and start the log for the next day with tasks I didn't finish from the previous day, and

I've experienced this in the past, which resulted in me leaving jobs because I just couldn't take working with some people. I eventually realized that this problem will be worse overtime as I get smarted, more experienced, and can

I don't think this is a fair comparison. It's like saying all the work I do on my computer belongs to apple. Which doesn't make sense. But apple does keep logs and telemetry of performance and crashes and uses that to improve

But why tho?

by agitator 8y ago
I agree my comment does sound brash, which wasn't my intention. But what I meant was, apple is selling products, and trying to maximize it's profits. If you don't like the feeling of manipulation, you don't need to buy i

If you are working at a new job, ask questions, ask lots of questions. The more you put your ego aside, and focus on absorbing everything like a sponge, you will leap ahead of your peers and your early career will set you up for long term s

I mean if you prefer old technology, that's all good. No one is stopping you from using your old headphones with your old phone. The convenience of not having to untangle headphones, not accidentally yanking them out of a device when w

Is this all happening within the same company? If so, then its a management/communication issue. Otherwise, either you need to think about what the common denominator is. Is it something you are not catching when interviewing at compan

From what you see on social media, in the news, etc. it might seem like "wow there are people out there who are self taught and made it big! I can do that!" But keep in mind, these stories are out there because they are rare. Most
