Depends on what you means by "cares" Cares, like will bend over backwards to prevent any possible perceived insult? No, that's not reasonable. We don't need to revamp our language. Intent, not language, should be the foc

My first exposure to Anime was a duped VHS copy of Akira in 1993. Holy cheese and crackers, what an experience. My jaw was dropped the whole time and even during the credits my eyes were glued to the screen. Even as my high school friends g

You answered my question in laymen's terms. Not cognitive science or programmatic terms. Does that mean you don't understand it in those terms? I don't, I'm asking to understand your assertion. > It is an emotion What

I highly doubt it. Reality has nearly infinite resolution at every scale of space and time. Being physically in the world is extremely taxing on computational resources. Take bipedal balance for one example. There's a reason it's

Ha! I wonder how amusing these will continue to be. IMHO there's a numbness that comes after reading too much computer generated nonsense.

I'm not surprised at all. Maybe I'm just older, have seen more, and have a better tuned BS meter.

The article is light on details, but I suspect that the author in question is under 50 and on the naive side.

> imagine how you are being manipulated with target advertising Imagination is not the question. I want facts. I can imagine all sorts of stupid. The majority of targeted ads I get are for things I just bought. This is not scary.

Looks like fun to use and it was fun to create. I don't see a use case for myself. I use cd with TAB autocomplete and I'm set. I'm old enough and lazy enough.

Oh yeah, I know about that. There's a lot of other baggage with that one particular culture. I forgot to stipulate a lot of other things besides just lack of usury that I would like to have in a culture. It might just be that lack of u

Lovely, beautiful, what a wonder. That said I've been leaning towards a jazzier and improvised kind of cookery. But now I know where to look if I want to logically encode it. For example, if anyone cares, I've recently added the p
