   I noticed that you haven't been talking to your AI very much lately, what's wrong?

   I think that you are at least using the same one that I am. "Hype" can also mean marketing.

   I use c-a and c-e all the time, but I keep putting accidental ƒs and ∫s in non-emacs forms.

   No I still don't get it, it's like saying that infinity^2 is larger than infinity. If 0^2 is no larger than 0, then it must be the same for infinity. I see how a list of reals is like 2D list of infinities, so one grows from the m

   > And then infinitely later There can be no 'and then' after infinitely later. I don't see why stepwise is important but that must be the key to Cantor's proof. If he gives me 1.1 1.2 1.3 and I pair with 1 2 3, then h

    "Countably infinite" makes zero sense to me. Whatever method you use to generate your decimals, you can just slap an integer on each step of the way. You'll never run out of integers. I'll put Cantor and his proof in a b

    The essay is not about the purpose, it's about the effect. I see where you're coming from, living in a big busy city and shopping regularly in such stores you get desensitized, but your comparison to a walk in the woods is perfect

    These are not artificial brains, not yet anyway. Perhaps not for a long while. I hope that the rest of earth's currently living animals are granted rights before these digital creations.

    I've been using the space bar more and more in the browser (and less (and c-f/c-v in vi/emacs)), and am beginning to find it annoying when I have to scroll any other way. I wish mobile safari's reader mode had a paged op

    I read your comment (fascinating!) and the parent, and I'm thinking a language is a tool, and like all tools, what matters most is how you use it.

    Connections across cultures and broader abilities to empathize are exactly what a general public or a society needs to be healthy. Humanities should not try to assert its worth in utilitarian terms; by playing that game it has already given

    Thank you, I hadn't heard of the word before and I think it'll stick with me. I think there may be some crossover or resonance with the ideas of: - Carl Jung's collective unconscious and archetypes - Arnold Toynbee and Oswald

    Books are bicycles for the mind, computers are cars, and AI is the computer of the mind - which makes travel (thought) increasingly less necessary.
