What is? Consciousness? Are you conscious when asleep? No? Then how do dreams work? The only thing you can be sure of is that you experience some qualia; that you are conscious is an assumption.

I’m probably wrong, but this entire article felt as an advertisement for violin plots without it being mentioned once

Not in that article, yet there are studies that claim they can move between cells: https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.0510511103

Makes sense, perhaps this is also why nursery rhymes chop up words into syllables following the melody.

“It’s a trust thing” Yeah. That won’t work for anything security related, I’m afraid.

Now you’ve just replaced “consciousness” with “awareness”. Self-awareness? Awareness of stimuli? Awareness of demarcation of animate and inanimate objects? I understand it sounds simple, but there are so many different systems interplaying

I’ve never understood these questions. “Are animals conscious?” Well, could you give me the definition of consciousness? No you can’t. So now you’re asking me both to define it and show if animals have it or not. Are animals aware of their

Of course it is, but the trade-off is time.

I do so as well, but usually the response is the chatbot first generating a paragraph about how it’ll comply with the request, making the prompt moot

I never understood why not all investments and income of politicians needs to be publicly available, and why all contact with lobbyists ought to be logged and recorded, at the very least for internal review purposes. Or how it is possib

Yes, I am well aware. But even in studies that do get replicated they often find lower correlations. Let alone the questions one could pose with the validity of the experiments and underlying models to begin with. During my studies psycholo

Ah, I did not understood that was the point. That seems like a very reasonable law indeed!

“ Rather than consciously reasoning that most mammals lack a ventral stream, and therefore would not be able to recognize a still object” Imagining bears and deer just hitting trees left and right because they don’t move is absolutely hilar

We have wind- and watermills which still provide 100% of output 400 years later.

“ It should be considered an artistic device or a symbolic hallmark without any conveyed meaning rather than a true pathologic depiction of syndactyly.” Well, that was tax money well spent. Is this actually considered science now? Is this w

Or, you know, take some responsibility and don’t even have these apps on your phone. If you need them go to a pc and browse them there. I can assure you you’re not missing out even if you check only once a week

Why not rate limits instead? I’d argue for safe and responsible use over illegal vs suddenly completely legal, but then again I’m not a politician

Which in most cases would be a good thing since regular people don’t understand the law nor technical details whatsoever. Only in the USA with your literally corrupt judges that would be a problem.

Not really, 40km or 50km is easily doable, there are multiple events laying multiple days in which this is done. You are thinking about military marches, which include supplies, setting up camp etc.

Yes, for wealthy people who could swap out horses. If it was just a regular person like you or I with a horse, it wouldn’t increase your speed and even slow you down. Horses were used for pulling or carrying loads, they are only faster on s

So the replication crisis is not an actual crisis because most studies didn’t make sense to begin with? That’s not the advertisement for psychology you think it is..

How can it take 2 months on foot, yet only 1 month per horse, when a horse can only travel between 25-35 miles a day, which is not twice as far as a human can travel in a day, but about equal?

I like how you quoted all the text except the part where I said “I’m sure agile done right is great”. (And that most organisations don’t do agile right). But in the name of agile, business tends to get away with a lot of bad decisions, at

Yes, general statements never (almost never? :p) deal with all edge cases. Did you know they don’t need a patent on the crop? They can file patents on variations of the genes in question, meaning even other variations can be protected under

I’m sure that agile done right is great. I’m also fairly sure most organisations don’t do Agile right . At least within my organisation, we do not design anything up front. We’re agile. We don’t think about proper api modelling. We’re ag

GMOs are under patent and increase prices, they do not keep the poor hungry, they are simply resistant to more pesticides. And pesticides like Roundup have been linked to neurological problems like Parkinson. If you’d want to save the poor,

No, you said “go on to get issues”, I said “have issues”. That is a difference. Removed capitalisation because I’m against capital punishment. /s

Which is still correlated with the amount of alcohol consumed, no? Please name a toxin that is not dependent on dosage. I claim this is then not a toxin.

My apologies, that is not what I meant. I meant that the proof might break encryption. Again, might . As response to a list of possible real-world implications as the reader asked for.
