OK, this is something I know very little about so you may have to explain it like I'm a complete noob, but I still don't understand why, if all you want to do is boot 64-bit Linux, you couldn't use, say, a Raspberry Pi 4 inst

The operative word was always "premature". As with everything, whether or not a particular optimization is worthwhile depends on its ROI, which in the case of software depends on how often your code is going to be run. If you ar

Society itself is completely artificial. Money, property rights, laws, taxes, even the words I'm using to write this very comment... all of these are just human inventions, reified mythology.

It's not just that. I use a fairly obscure dietary supplement. It's a crap shoot whether or not my local pharmacy has it in stock on any given day, and the only way to find out is to physically go there. If I factor in the cost

A superposition is not "half a photon". You are talking nonsense.

No, MWI has this problem too because it still has to account for the branch I am in . The only interpretation that does not have this problem is the NCI because in that interpretation I am part of the fundamental ontology, at least some of

There is no such thing as a half photon.

Sure. So? MWI is not mathematically untenable, it's just incomplete (because it can't account for the Born rule) and IMHO philosophically untenable because it requires that no experiment can demonstrate the existence of a

This author [1] has a fundamental misunderstanding of cons cells and what their purpose is. Cons cells are a primitive . They are best understood in contrast to the C model where memory is an array, i.e. an associative map from integers

The problem is not with rationalism, it's with Rationalism (with a capital R), the cult-like phenomenon that has grown up around rationalism that fetishizes things like Bayes's theorem, hostile AI, Roko's basilisk, and the MW

That's not true. What our senses perceive (classical reality) is an emergent phenomenon of the underlying metaphysical truth (quantum mechanics). Those two things are about as radically different as you can get. That's why the

Well, yeah, the whole "against nature" argument is bogus to begin with. But I think a counter-argument is stronger if it can be made even while accepting the other side's premises.
