As long as western companies can’t do unrestricted business in China, neither should Chinese companies be able here. The earlier we break the toxic relationship, the better. But yeah, money over everything.

It’s like Skyrim modders making the perfect load order with thousands of mods, but go “meh” after a few hours of playing, and the thing starts all over. In such a case you are not a writer, you’re a tinkerer/mechanic.

A rocket is basically a controlled explosion, and when you stop controlling it, explosion is likely.

My uncle is in that business. Even with organic (so no chemicals) techniques the amount of optimization that can be done is staggering. Companies do keep their knowledge very secret, so you won’t know as an average farmer, it’s definitely n

Anyone from China or informed enough can chip in how secure the marketplace is? How often does this happen? I had my own problems with a Chinese developed app I needed to add some content for a client.

That’s all very well, but my end of the day take is that if you want more Windows/Mac adopters, you need zero friction. So often you get these handwavey (snobby?) attitudes of “why don’t you just insert hard to do thing for average us

Cue Agent Smiths’ monologue. That said, the way we treat our environment, ie anything external to us is a representation of an internal state. Not sure how the internal state of an AGI would be. We have many, many epistemological flaws and

It’s an interesting proposition for a project! Good luck in your endeavor. As I see it it’s a way to verify your epistemological grounding so to speak.

Interesting idea of the open mind map. I was wondering if information bubble, while accessible, is the right term. But it suffices in terms of explanation. Isn’t Wikipedia already the mind map of humanity in a way? Or is your project more f

Indeed. Lots of noise in communicating exactly what we mean. That is why it is futile to compare to a human. Most people don’t even know how to describe the qualities.

I simple mix and match. Almost all page builders have shortcodes or codeblocks in some shape way or form. I can do easy things the easy way or use code plumbing where necessary. Pick the right tool for the job is a skill by itself I always

Getting involved, grass roots style. The feeling of powerlessness is exactly the way you become inert to do anything. “What can I do.” Politics work from the local to the national, so getting involved locally is a good thing, or organizatio

Yeah, it seems idealism is not in vogue, especially the kind of idealism that wants to see people as professional, in command of their faculties, yet not distant or aloof. It seems people have trouble outgrowing their tribal egotistical man

I would advice against prolonged use or using it often. I have seen people around me change their behavior irrationally and erratically, and not for the good, as in not being able to regulate their emotions in a sensible fashion. So while f
