Well your awareness contains: beliefs you need a car, desires to do stuff with that car, concepts of money and bank account. It basically contains your life and is not incompatible with the fact of a life happening.

It is not in your brain. Thinking "it's in my brain" happens in your awareness. You think that there is a brain and a body and a world but all these things show up in your awareness and never elsewhere. Look outside, where ar

The thoughts to buy the car, the touch on your wallet, the images of your car, the sounds, all happened in consciousness.

All that evidence appears in the mind and assumes conciousness is located in the brain, when our actual experience is that conciousness is just the container of everything and does not have a location. You can locate your brain but can you

Your concept of brain is happening in your mind right now. You think there is such a thing like a physical world and a brain but all that is really in your 'conciousness'. Can you feel electrical signals in your brain? Or can you

Disclaimer: I have some meditation, observation of the mind and advaita/Zen practice. If you look at all your experience since you are born, it all happened in your mind, exclusively. The faces of your parents, your first girlfriend, y

Just a touch of optimism here. I suffered from depression for 7 years, then started meditation. I can say I am now very happy after 4 years of regular practice. I don't really care if my brain was a bit damaged then. Don't lose ho

I have been feeling that way ever since two years ago when I first looked at the language. I still don't understand why this language has such popularity. It's really bad for the reasons mentioned. C++ is a solid language where yo

Here are a few thoughts: - Starting something new is hard, but it can get better after a while. Be patient and maybe you'll discover a better side of your job, meet exciting people etc. - Maybe you're not doing what you really lik

I disagree. If you read the atari paper you will get plenty of details and you can infer how it is applied to electricity consumption. They were using reinforcement learning. The algorithms would learn to get a better score by looking at th

I agree about this. I wanted to give rust a go and tried to implement a graph for a DFA. I realized it was a pain. Even in general I find rust super hard to use with the references lifetimes etc. I don't understand the buzz going aroun

I meant that learning about ML and getting some field experience helps you figuring out when to use ML and how. For how to get into, there are a lot of resources and state of the art algorithms/papers/implementations are freely av

I don't believe in "everyone should work on machine learning". I worked on several deep learning models but I don't really like it. It is a very different job than software engineering in my opinion. ML is more about ga

Wouldn't the price of everything raise accordingly, so that you basically can't afford anything with the basic income?

Allowing anonymous users would be great. For example I would like to create such a group/space for my family even though some of them do not have google accounts.

I have a lot of respect for someone who went through so much. At a much smaller scale I think that one can be depressed when pursuing a strong goal comes to an end. It could be a project at work or a degree. I have been depressed in such si

Try meditation, it got me out of depression after 3 years of pain, seeing a lot of psychiatrists and taking multiple antidepressants. There is always a reason why we are depressed. We need to go deep into ourselves to find it, there is no o

I was wondering what was the template behind all these similar designs. Today I learned. I really like that template and I love the idea that one can build a beautiful website with little effort. Why reinventing the wheel?

Can someone explain me why the researchers themselves don't publish their work for free? The article says they are not paid for the articles so I don't see why they couldn't do that.

There should be laws against this. A judge should be able to tell when a behavior is harassment, and forbid the harasser from contacting the person again with more severe charges if he does again.

This is nice but what are the use cases for such an optimization ? My understanding is that such an optimization will not matter anyway compared to all the I/O and other expensive operations. And if a program is really too slow then th
