flash dying after a few years is not exactly weird or unexpected, regardless of the form factor

I switched three years ago and I'm happy with emacs still. I don't find I miss anything jetbrains used to offer me. I might feel different if I spent a lot of time profiling, the one area where an IDE generally has a leg up - but

The fact that you think dying is good is a feeling. It is based on an article of faith - it must be, because you cannot make coherent arguments for the necessity of death that aren't either based on faith or other issues that are solva

All I am saying is that it is not understood, so any reasoning that fundamentally relies on understanding it is premature. Perhaps we will one day understand it (which I think is perfectly possible), but that day is not today.

The reading is not bad, I am just stuck at the point of the conversation where you claim to have something figured out that is not yet figured out (the nature of consciousness, or what it means to be intelligent). There is no scientific or

Your own experience is also second hand, so what is left is the temporal factor (you experience and learn continuously and with a small feedback loop). I do not see how it can be the case that there is some sort of cutoff where the feedback

A discussion about ethics must involve a discussion about the effects of a system of ethics on a group of people: This is a real-world effect that must have it's issues and priors spoken about, or you risk creating an ethical system fo

Philosophy can be interesting if it is not baseless navel gazing (i.e. it is founded on observation and fact, and derives from there). The fact that I find that interesting is subjective, but that's not the meat of the post. Religion i

Thank you for going into it. You make an absolute pile of assumptions here and the tl;dr appears to be that humans (or just you) are exceptional and inherently above any sort of imitation. I do not find such argumentation to be compelling,

Given that you have to admit you do not understand the subject (what it means to be conscious), none of what you said has bearing (aside from being interesting, I appreciate the response). And you must admit to that, since this is neither p

Your post read as a propaganda piece for Israel by way of preemptively discrediting everyone that might have anything negative to say about it. If the problem is low-quality content (by way of bots, or I guess special interest groups) then

The philosophical zombie is fundamentally uninteresting as a conversational piece, as they are by definition indistinguishable from a "regular" person. For all we know, you could be one. You can speak of this concept until the end

You are arguing that a piece of software misses a metaphorical soul (something that cannot be measured but that humans uniquely have and nothing else does). That's an incredibly poor argument to make in a context where folks want inter

I think we will never agree. I see a death cult, you see acceptance of the natural order of things. It is a fundamental difference in viewpoint.

I would say most engineers know high memory usage without a clear cause correlates strongly with poorly written software, it's likely to be slow and shit.

This is suicidal thinking - you essentially want to die, but you wish it on some future you (certainly not the you of today, whose turn it probably isn't yet). I cannot see a world in which this could be deemed healthy.

I think it makes reading the chain easier, I had the exact same thought reading the message that was responded to. Knowing that the chain recognises this thought and tries to addresss it helps me absorb the rest of the discourse.

Every solution seems obvious in hindsight, but from the article we can see it is not so obvious in practice.

It is opt out where I am, so I guess the answer is "it's not". We live on a world comprised of many countries, not just wherever you are.

If you're running something that isn't absolute shit it's not this much of an issue to upgrade to ipv6. There's business value in that simply because ipv4 addresses are expensive.

The solutions you describe are functionally identical, so I do not see why it wouldn't be a "real example".

I think it is pretty clear what kind of world most people would want to live in, and it is not the one where the faceless giant has more power. HN has things going for it, but corporate pandering is unquestionably not one of them.

TLS, yes definitely. SSH/git, no probably not - most people do not use these things.
