First of all: arguing about the details of a thing that actually exists is an enormous difference from arguing details of a thing that does NOT exist. As for your dig at Dawkins, I just read https://archive.ph/Rq5bw which I

Now you have do define pleasure AND pain without using the word "consciousness" as that would be circular logic. Is pleasure then any reward function? Then a mathematical set of equations performed by a human by writing on a piece

> Changing the default behavior for all of your users with no notification is pretty unforgivable. What does that even mean? The git log exists. Do you mean they should shove the entire git log in the face of every user on every update?

> We don't even know what the pre-requisites for consciousness are so we have no way of knowing. Imo we don't even have a definition of the word that we agree on.

This might age badly heh. Kinda like "we only need 2 MAYBE 3 computers for Sweden" (real thing people said back in the day).

Plus LLMs need semantics just like humans do. Maybe more. Removing variable names seems utter madness.

I've found Claude Code to be amazing at Elm, so your comment about Haskell seems strange to me.

Isn't that a good thing? Compared to Hamas who murders its own citizens and random christians who are out dancing?

Ok, so now you just actually called for genocide. And by that logic all US citizens that are not Native Americans are valid targets in another genocide. Of course, since the UK has been re-invaded many times, all UK citizens are now valid t

Parental controls are just absolutely broken. I hope Ternus has some kids and is upset about this too. Screen time is totally broken. Produces numbers hilariously wrong. Again a problem for people with kids. Spotlight searching on macOS jus

So it's not actually about AI at all? It's about it being incorrect?

Django isn't really that opinionated though. It's a common misconception. It's quite decoupled with only the settings file being actually required.

So a few things: - Insulin isn't crazy expensive outside the broken US system - Let's assume it was, or some other medical advance was, so what? A few examples of something only very slowly going down in price doesn't change

I always find is weird how most super rich don't even seem to care about the life of their own children. If they did, surely they would invest more in basic science, or at least medical science.

You just define "advanced" as not "affordable" and your statement can be true forever! Except of course, that's nonsense. mRNA vaccines are super advanced and available for a majority of humans. And tech drops in pr

"Semantics" is literally "what words mean" so yea, arguing over semantics is pretty important! Not something to dismiss.

Yea, makes sense doesn't it? Israel is fighting an almost completely subterranean enemy. Comparing tonnage to a war where the enemy was above ground is silly.

You know what happens if an Israeli soldier is caught killing non-combatants? They get prosecuted. You know what happens to a Hamas fighter that is caught killing non-combatants? They get a promotion.
