Mojo has both Python's def and its own fn -- two different flavors of functions. That alone isn't "cleaner". fn is there for high performance -- it's like Rust added to Python. Mojo is still missing Python functiona

Searle's argument may well be about the plausibility of "mechanistic intentionalty", whatever exactly that means ("mechanistic" just sounds like bigotry to me ... we are all mechanisms and Searle didn't say oth

Since this is about what happens in humans, not LLMs, it couldn't possibly be evidence of any sort regarding LLMs. (I think there are overwhelming reasons to think that LLMs don't experience qualia, but this has nothing to do with

Plausibility was never an argument against Searle's Chinese Room Argument ... that's a very deep confusion, since Searle was arguing against the possibility of Strong AI, whereas advocates of Strong AI of course thought it was pla

The Chinese Room argument is one of the most fallacious arguments ever offered and is rejected by all experts. https://www.nybooks.com/articles/1995/12/21/the-mystery-of-c... "For [John Searle'

It's bizarre that someone would think that it's dumb to say "goto considered harmful" because "all assembly language depends on it" ... Dunning-Kruger effect, anyone? People only write in assembler when it&#x27

Agreed. If anything your comment is too charitable. This is just one of the GP's highly sophistic comments here. Considering how he is exploiting the sorites paradox, I wouldn't be surprised if he bases his sophism on Zeno's

This is another non sequitur ... it doesn't address retsibsi's point or their question. It has nothing to do with cluckindan's comment, which is what this subthread was about.

Nothing you wrote here is remotely correct, it contributes nothing on the topic, and it commits the exact sins it accuses me of.

No one said that it's not possible for a pedestrian to be at fault in a collision; they said the opposite. Therefore it's a strawman. > "A pedestrian can be at fault in a fatality but the driver would still be at fault any

The U.S. has very different rules. Just yesterday there was an incident in my town where a couple of guys drove a car out of a parking lot, then later drove it back to the parking lot where they were apprehended and arrested for theft.

This is wrong and confused in every possible way. Look up the Flynn effect ... it refers to an actual change in performance. That the scores on a given IQ test are occasionally renormalized so that the mean is 100 has no bearing on whether

Sigh. There was no mention of 2^(2^512),only the set [0, 2^512), each value of which can be represented with a different configuration of 512 bits in any computer (or storage medium) "in this universe". That these values cannot be
