I ended up just getting normal speakers and attaching a dedicated box to them. I hate how it looks though, so many more wires, and you better hope your speakers are close enough to route a long USB cable for power to a wall outlet

For the peanut gallery: If you ever want to see what it's like for a mathematician to not hand wave anything away, look at excerpts from Bertrand & Russel in principia mathematics (no, not the newton book). It takes 362 pages (depe

Wow, and that's before plugins. I remember being so frustrated with a Mac because of the animations. It would take like a full half second to maximize etc. I tried disabling them but then it would just do a cross fade or something an

It's more of a framing thing, like 'failed to reject the null hypothesis' or 'not guilty' instead of 'accepted the null hypothesis' or 'innocent'. Consciousness can exist independent of our abili

It's crazy to think that one of the oldest religious stories, the whole Adam and Eve don't eat from the fruit of the forbidden tree of knowledge, actually has a coincidence (...I mean, I believe it was a coincidence) in our past

I don't know if there's more depth to it but fwiw I think that's a really cool insight regardless.

So much of what we perceived to be conscious is dependent with such a thing communicating to us it's consciousness. I've never understood that internalized bias. Communications and consciousness seem like independent things to me

Tragically (for pure mathematicians), there are some real world use cases. Last years SoME3 has this entrant https://youtu.be/Njx2ed8RGis?si=-Q0TwT8LKmTC9o0R Also Oliver lugg has a hilarious overview of the topic https:&#x

Yup, the mere fact that we can have oceans and continents on a planet means we can only have so much water, lest we become a water world or something more like mars. I do wonder if the OP includes water locked away in rocks though, to my un

It's really trippy to think about how hawking radiation becomes 'real' once its sufficiently 'far' away from a 'strong' gravitational well, and how this can be thought of as a Doppler shift giving real phy

Also it's well tested on all three. One look at wez' repo vs the rest in terms of GitHub actions, issues, and documentation was all the convincing I needed back in like 2019. Haven't turned back since. Heck it even support

Eh, imo the go libraries still aren't up to par with out of the box java libraries. Like there's still no Set class, nor the equivalent of Map.keys. yeah they're easy to write but that's still not an included battery.
