How many people have actually been studied in an fMRI aphantasia study? Like 10? I'll give you those people. But meanwhile on the Internet we have endless people claiming to they have aphantasia because they "only see black when t

The science isn't clear at all. The question "To what extent do you actually see an apple?" is completely unscientific. You can't simply ask people questions, that's not science. It's also a question about q

Hmm. Me too; you're describing me. But I'm a skeptic on this subject. I can't help but think this is just too prone to fantastical and placebo-like thinking. I can't help but suspect that the vast majority of people expe

Yeah, "very close" is not the right wording: "EXACTLY" is.

Great, maybe you (Meta) should actually release the source for your AI then?

In layman's terms: batteries don't last millions of years, so wtf?

I ran into critical issues with some NixOS packages I needed, the maintainer doesn't seem to care about my use case, and I can't for the life of me understand the Nix language enough to fix it myself. Have stopped using NixOS beca

I mean, you can crash Linux too with bad kernel code.

You can make a random (high e) signal look non-random (low e) by adding strings of zeros and ones to it. Or you can embed it into known formats.

I find this decree frustrating. Someone could have just as easily said "the 'first' century starts at 1 BC" to account for this.

The CAESAR competition [1] ended in 2019 and resulted in multiple different AEADs, most with plenty of nonce space. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAESAR_Competition

Maybe we need both?

As does Everett.

I'm at least not sure why that unwillingness should lead you toward Copenhagen rather than Everett.

> Yes, but neither of those explains why we observe measurements to have single results. IMO Everett is in fact the only interpretation that explains this quite clearly. "Why do we observe measurements to have single results?"

This is highly variant depending on where you live, and in many places the prices are dropping.

> Afaik this is the standard interpretation nowadays You've described the Everett interpretation. It should be the standard. There's still a surprising amount of resistance for some reason.

I think you mean "it's sad that cars proliferated". Whether people have SUVs or Sedans doesn't move the doomsday clock by much.

Well said. Though it'd be sorta neat IMO if we could use just one language here, and the memory unsafe aspect could somehow be toggled off or on, gaining all the pros or cons of Zig vs Rust as needed.

The "fix" is to use a nonce misuse resistant cipher, of which AES-GCM-SIV is one. But, AES-GCM-SIV requires two passes over the data, which isn't always ideal. The goal of the CAESAR competition [1] was essentially to find al

Copenhagen isn't any more satisfiable than Many Worlds. They both say similar things: that the wavefunction evolves according to the Schrodinger equation. One leaves the equation intact (Many Worlds), while the other involves randomly

"I can't think of" probably isn't the right bar to set for something like this.
