Human intellectual/cognitive capabilities are unprecedented, though. I'm not sure if we'll live to see it, but I'd be pretty surprised if some fine day humanity won't evolve enough to abandon the primate bodies and

Why would one possibly need a SaaS payment processor for crypto? Unlike with traditional banking, running your own crypto node and processing network transactions is not some huge investment that one may want to offload to a third party.

It was supposed to be a decentralized digital cash, but we collectively turned it into some weird abomination. Nowadays, if you say "crypto" people will think of investments, scams, transfers that sidestep various sanctions and re

Does “brute force” allow for heuristics and direction? If it doesn’t (“brute” as opposite of “smart”, just dumb iteration to exhaustion) then you’re right, of course. But if it does, then I’m not sure it’s patently absurd - novel ideas co

The idea is to filter out bias-introducing information with low relevance (like gender, appearance, or accent) and focus on the actual events that took place. Otherwise the court starts to include elements of theatrics and objective truth s

I’m curious, had any legislatures tried blinded trials, where judges and/or juries don’t see the litigants, don’t know their names or location details, and otherwise only have access to the information on a need-to-know basis? Sort of

I suspect you’ll probably have to determine the nature of free will (or lack thereof) to answer this. Or, well, learn empirically :-)

Uhh, I see that really made a very poor word choice when I wrote “‘real’ racism”. My bad, words are hard. Given that you’ve chose “fake” as the antonym, I think I can see where we differ, and that I misused the term “‘real’”. In my mind I w

I’m a bit confused, is that possible you think racism is binary? I recognize you jest, but not sure I get the idea, and I sincerely hope you don’t do it pointlessly. If you refuse to distinguish between someone who genuinely believes in con

That’s not what I meant, though. When I wrote “not really racist” I meant “the primary cause for posting this is not racism[, but engagement solicitation]”, rather than “not racist”. And it’s not an implication, but only an observation pa

I agree, but I believe the intent matters if we’re trying to identify why this happens. Racism is just less legally dangerous. There would be people posting snuff or CSAM videos, would that “sell”. Make social networks tough on racism and i
