faces are simpler since unlike hands most of their major constituents are at fixed relative positions to each other. but the flip side is that people are hyper-biased towards attending to facial details, hence why they were basically the fi

we don't need to limit ourselves to context-free, either. its possible to enforce scope as well, and even force per-token type correctness, as least for somewhat syntactically well-behaved languages that use local type inference.

not exactly what you describe but it may be worth looking at (gradually) typed racket in this context: https://docs.racket-lang.org/ts-guide/ . the contract system might also be of interest: https://docs.rack

ya exactly. i liked to treat this whole genre as gardening. simcity is more constrained gardening; you dig your plots and watch stuff grow. transport tycoon is more like guerilla gardening; fundamentally you're in the wilderness, but w

maybe worth noting that depending on specifics a 3090 isn't necessarily a strict upgrade over an M1 max. While a 3090 will be faster on any model it can run, an M1 with 32GB of ram or more can load models which a 3090 cannot

i don't find this argument convincing. it depends, at minimum, on bounding 'aliens' to mean something reasonably close to humans. if we allow aliens to be arbitrarily different, than i don't see a reason to bound their a

what do you mean by this exactly? like whats an experiment which establishes the difference? a lot of human behavior is also only liminally generative cached retrieval

bohm here is talking about the observer effect, which is distinct from, though has historically been conflated with, the uncertainty principle. the former refers to how measurement unavoidably affects a system, whereas the latter is an inhe

i don't think there really is such a relative equivalency. the universe according to best current understanding doesn't have anything which resembles human death to demarcate a lifetime. you could say 'heat death' but i

bit of quibble, but a geological era, as a technical term, describes a duration on the order of 100MYA, which is nearly 1/100th of the age of the universe, making 'nanosecond' a bit of an exaggeration. even if we consider per
