Is that a reasonable conclusion? Is it better to have a population of 8 billion or a population of 8 trillion where on average everyone is 1/1000 as happy? Is happiness even something where it makes more sense to measure a total rather

I'm in exactly the same boat. I got tired of waiting around for openai to take me off their waitlist and used DALLE-mini (now craiyon) to generate large batches of concept art for a project I was working on. I picked the ones that, des

Would you recommend reading Flow if I've already engaged with the concept of flow itself outside of the book?

I'm not sure what you're asking here. I have no clue where this sense of experience would be located, but my point was more targeted at clearing up that memory is not a pre-requisite for sentience, as the parent post seemed to be

A person suffering from amnesia is still experiencing the world around them. Sentience is not about memory but rather the subjective self-experience of, well, experiencing things.

Does it stand to reason that other humans are sentient? The opposite view is the root of solipsism. What if an AI in the future acts in a way that you would expect from someone sentient?

By this logic you don't control anything in your life, as your choices are always defined by your past and experiences. I think it's very fair to assume room for free will in a discussion like this.

I think you may have misunderstood, by open a folder, they meant open a folder of buttons on the stream deck, allowing you to press a button to completely change which buttons are displayed on the screen.

Thanks for linking that article, fascinating read! It's incredible how much an article from 2010 (over a decade ago!) can resonate with how I feel about social media today and easily put the vague discomforts I've felt about it in

The poison pill prevents Musk from taking over by simply buying 51% of stock, and allows him to proceed only by giving the board an offer they agree to, in which case they'll remove the poison pill.

I see the appeal of this, but don't understand how anything like Worldcoin would be able to achieve that. People already have wealth accumulated in the real world, and there's no reason giving everyone an equal amount of a cryptoc

DaVinci Resolve is one of those free gems that goes toe to toe with the paid competitors. I swapped to it from Vegas a few years ago and never looked back!

The current version of the class you are referring to actually includes an assignment to implement a lisp interpreter in python, which you might find interesting. https://py.mit.edu/fall21/labs/lab09

I don't know much about transracialism at all, but it makes sense to me if you look at it as a cultural identification kind of thing. Both my brother and I were born in and grew up in the states, but I identify more with American cultu

> But, in my mind, arriving to the conclusion that 'I don't identify as a male, therefore I must be female' isn't right. I think for trans women, it isn't so much a conclusion following from not identifying as ma

In today's language (in the US at least), gender is a state of mind, precisely because talking about the mental aspect of gender/sex is very useful both for talking about transgender people and for studying how mental gender ide
