Yes, another assumption is that our thought process is what leads to an action, when it fact it could possibly be a ride-a-long confabulation that doesn't materialize until needed, i.e. we are asked about why we did what we did.

I wish I could help, but there are inconsistencies in my inner monologue that does assist in making it retreat into the background a little. For example, I interrogate my inner voice to find out what it *sounds* like; does it sound like me?

I'm not so sure humans have an inner dialogue. I think what we need to investigate is why humans believe they have an inner dialogue (even though not all humans report having an inner dialogue), and one of the explanations might be t

The cool thing about Eric and his work is that he consistently challenges "folk psychology" in ways that aren't just doom and gloom. I think the best way to understand his argument in the paper isn't as supporting panpsy

The standard answer is Wipr but nothing is as good as uBlock Origin imo. It's passable enough that I daily drive Safari now.

As a parent of kids with iThings, the parental controls/screen time experience is incredibly bad. I have no idea why they are not interested in having it work.

It's likely not politically feasible for a genuine attempt at right-sizing our budget, although we have had attempts (short-lived) in the past. Blaming a political party for this is pointless, although there is a party that has posture

Microsoft's security suite has been available for Linux for a long time, so I would imagine they have a tremendous amount of data. Sentinel connectors have been available for Cisc- since the beginning.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. And if someone sent me a bill for 17 billion I would just tell them I don't have it and never will, sorry.

It's a great movie! One of the best attempts at capturing a Lovecraftian vibe, maybe only bested by The Thing or his excellent Event Horizon.

Assuming we eek thru a whirlwind of catastrophic dangers, one day we will look at this period of time with the same reaction as if we had been sprinkling lead on our cereal.

It's bad on social media, especially Tik Tok. I don't use it often, but when I do I bet I get 3 Kalshi ads every 10 minutes easy.

Yeah I saw that, looks like this is a new laptop class, perhaps an AI-infused evolution of the Chromebook Plus spec: https://www.google.com/chromebook/chromebookplus/

I thought that too, but it looks like this isn't a laptop but a new laptop class , and Lenovo, Dell and HP will all be producing Googlebooks. This does not appear to be a first-party laptop product.

I wanted to like the Pixelbook, but it had a lot of limitations, ChromeOS being the major one. I recall that people were able to run Linux on them, but no idea what that experience was like.

Not sure if it matters that they compete with Apple blow-for-blow, it's probably just the threat of existential risk if they don't own any platform. They want to make sure they don't get Facebook'd by Apple if/when

If it's an offsite backup, you would deal with it like you would any DR site-- either plan for yet another backup, or presume that it's unlikely that both the primary and replica would go down simultaneously and accept the risk.

We had a great candidate for a job decline to relocate to the US for precisely this reason. I really do not blame anyone for making that decision

Are you being cheeky or do you really drag a monitor outside?

I don't have the data to demonstrate that this is incorrect, and that's because we lack a fundamental model of how brains operate. Brains probably compute under an expansive definition of computer, but to say it's a classical

I disagree a bit. Coding can remain an artistic passion for you indefinitely, it's just your ability to demand that everyone crafts each line of code artisinally won't be subsidized by your employer for much longer. There will pro

Interesting article! I think I get what the concern is, but I think your view of human cognition is going to heavily color what you think the limitations of an LLM are. For example, if you think that broadly speaking, the human learning pro

I can't really imagine any statement they could give that would ease concerns that at some point in time they change their mind. But for now, it is a relief to read, even if this is a bit of marketing. The longer it goes without being

Interesting, I had never even heard of this laptop! Thanks for the tip!
