That’s a tragically sophomoric take. 'object a has property x' is too generic to be meaningful. “AI has the property of conscious” requires settling the small matter of what the properties of consciousness are. And “behaves like i

> To make a statement like that in the opening lines as if its obvious seems genuinely presumptous. Then you must not be familiar with Bertrand Russell’s teapot analogy. The TL;DR is this: “Many orthodox people speak as though it were th

Can you prove they are? I think “AIs are conscious” is an extraordinary claim requiring extraordinary evidence. The burden is on the claimant to provide evidence it is conscious, and I suspect any evidence you can provide has alternative ex

People use online dating because they feel like they have to, but most people hate it. So maybe the analogy is even better than stated.

Not the OC, but I’ve done something similar and it wasn’t permanent but it was effective short-term after listening. My idea was to match the pitch, turn up the volume until it was fairly loud, then shut off the sound, and when I did that t

There doesn’t need to be a conspiracy born in smokey rooms for there to be a malignant culture of greed and moral bankruptcy. And it’s possible for one group or class to consolidate enough power to constitute an unfair advantage. “I’m just

I’m just waiting for 0.13 so I can have Helix-like multicursor in Nvim, then I’ll never touch my config again.

I think I’m angry b/c I’m unsure but so many people are claiming to be sure without sufficient evidence.

It’s funny, I’m in a similar boat (omarchy at home, macOS at work) and recently spent a lot of time working out a system with SIP-enabled yabai for window management, kanata for the super key and other QMK-style tap-hold-chord mapping, and

Legitimately curious, are you using the 1.4 canary release in a production environment?

Not sure how well “new ambitious software” and “____ clone” go together there. Seems like even most critics would agree LLMs are capable of producing impressive-for-the-timescale clones of existing software, but is that valuable?

I think a majority of my friends are teachers and this could not be further opposite their sentiments. They feel strongly that it’s dishonest, nearly akin to plagiarism to use AI output in lesson plans. They don’t use it for grading or data

I think the connection is pretty clear: people have always wanted to know things without having to learn them.

I’m sorry but this is a bad take. We’re suffering from a healthcare crisis, globally. We don’t have nearly enough doctors. Even in the US where wait times are relatively low, it sometimes takes months to get an appointment with my PCP, let

But maybe that’s bad? Maybe keeping everyone just on the verge of leaving or getting hurt isn’t a good place for society to settle?

I can relate to and sympathize with time constraints and convenience arguments, but I think it’s more accurate in both the landscaping and app examples to say it wouldn’t exist if you hadn’t _asked/paid_ for it. And you could have made

It’s definitely a meme if nothing else that the cybersecurity community has a distribution of furries that would not reflect the general population’s.

Harness Engineering is a marketing term. In reality it’s just the practice of leveraging what has always defined a good stable codebase: good docs and high test coverage.
