+1 Mine and your subjective experience of feeling pain/discomfort from lighter screens can never be disproven by science, so a sample size of 1 is all that is needed.

And my eyes hurt after 1-2 minutes when I am forced to use light mode. My life is better after realizing this. Clearly everyone is different. It's discouraging to see the number of people in this thread not understanding this. I'm

Cool, but sugar (sucrose) is actually glucose+fructose. Is there a calorie-free fructose isomer?

The title subliminally suggests that we've lost 26 years of life expectancy. Many will perceive it this way. This very reasonably can be considered a form of clickbait.

All qualia (which consciousness itself closes over) are impossible to rigorously define with words. Attempts to do so will come across as woo. What we can do however is experience qualia first-hand, and prove to ourselves that they exist. W

False. It's unfalsifiable. There is no experiment possible that you can set up to answer these questions, any more than you can construct an experiment to prove whether there is a God.

For starters: - Why is there something rather than nothing? - Does a universe with no one in it to observe it count as something or nothing? Then, imagine we're building an AI and want to know whether it's reached our level or not

What scares me is that some leading AI researchers hold this view (that consciousness in general is nothing special) and it makes them come across as unempathetic, as if all conscious beings---meat or AI---are simply computers and in turn p

I don't understand your reply or why you downvoted. I said this as genuine grammar feedback that I assume most people would accept kindheartedly and fix. When I originally read the comment I had no idea if it was a genuine comment, som

This makes pragmatic sense (for both cases), but it still comes off as extremely hypocritical.

IMO, GPT-3-like articles like this are no different from blog spam recipe websites. What even is the point of this article? What is the mind bending secret? The holographic principle? Wormholes? Entanglement? It's unclear what the titl

Surely you're correct, but I never understood this. This kind of marketing-speak comes across as low quality, tacky, and weasely. Why would such qualities appeal to enterprise purchasers? Can't they see through it just like everyo

I'll give you a technical reason: the Windows API isn't POSIX. Furthermore, it's a monstrosity compared to POSIX. If you've never felt this pain then be glad you've missed out on the multi-decade cross-platform low

Seemingly none of these TLD-only domains have valid certs. Perhaps no certificate authority will sign this format?

This idealism doesn't always work in practice. The more public and popular a forum is, the more we need to weed out spam, scams, vandalism, and other kinds of malware/DoS.

Nixlang is so alien that I've used NixOS for 2 years and still don't get it. Nickel looks much prettier than Nixlang, but it carries over a feature that still confuses me about Nixlang: variable declaration. Perhaps you can shed l
