yep definitely. and there is definitely a cost and effort required to make Electron feel as good as native. depending on your feature requirements, this can get really hairy. i'm just exhausted by the "web apps feel so much worse

great analogy. also does a good job pointing out the type of vagueness and subjectivity in meaning that makes it hard to pin down consciousness. the vagueness- which parts can you remove from a car before you wouldn't call it a car any

for our purposes, to solve is to understand. is there a single physical process or entity we can attribute consciousness to? our high level understanding of consciousness is that it at some point emerges from physical processes. this emerge

good point! I just don't want the false positives to discourage us from trying to share our feelings just because it's difficult.

"I think it's well understood how consciousness works" care to expand on this at all? it completely contradicts most everything I've heard. saying consciousness is just a neural reaction could be right but it's by n

I'm reminded of people talking about tripping. we don't really have the vocabulary or knowledge to talk about certain things and they end up sounding wishywashy. but I don't think it means we can't try, or hypothesize...

i'm less concerned with what "looks" easier than what's actually easier. i just can't convince myself "it looks less scary" is worthy of the technical tradeoffs (for me, at the very least).
