>Admittedly I don't really understand your construction. It is quite simple. Instead of accepting a concrete type `Foo`, the function is changed to accept types that can be converted to `Option<Foo>`. Since both `Foo` and `Opt

In my comment, we already assume that we (humans) are conscious and we are the result of evolution. So the question was only if something else that evolved similarly, was conscious the way we are.. So to match with that your hypothetical sc

> Do insects feel pain? Yes, I think so. Because they show behavior that is consistent with being in a state of pain. Despite what consciousness really is, I think evolution found a way to tap into that, by causing pain, or by registerin

They are not intelligent. And they won't pass turing tests if it cannot count or some simple thing like that..

Ability to feel pain or pleasure is a good indicator I think..

This is the greatest fear. Take the example of simple AA batteries. As time and technology progressed, we didn't get safer, easily reusable and rechargable batteries and infra to charge them and safely dispose when they eventually met

>you would have to change the code at all call sites. Actually I think you can just change concrete argument `Foo` to type constraint in Haskell as well using a type class. So the function would be something like `foo :: ToMaybeFoo a =&

Yea, I have composed song (music with lyrics) in my dream. But after waking up, didn't remember most of it. I wonder if I did compose them, or did I just have a memory of having composed a great song? What is experience, if not our ver

I don't want neovim or vim to compete with any IDEs. Lack of IDE features is why I like them.

Mmm.I think I understand where you are coming from. You can write incomprehensible code in Haskell very easily and I agree that some people tend to write Haskell in a way that is easy when writing but very hard during reading. But that is a

For me one of the best things about Haskell is syntax and how clean it is.

Debug.Trace.trace and friends can help here. This can work from pure code. But the lazy evaluation does imply that trace functions only execute when the statement is actually forced evaluation. But it is actually quite helpful during debugg

The computer being a mystical machine is also a lot about the period in which existed. I think since computers were not very powerful it was a bit magical how much stuff it can be made to do just with the right instructions (I mean software

Yea, it is funny in /r/worldnews. Everytime Trump says something, there will be a thousand comments describing why everyone should ignore everything he says..

It is interesting. Is the job of a leader (or the administration) to foresee threats before anyone else can see it coming? Is their job to make sure that it does not manifest? It is interesting that when they does it, the majority is agains

And a little while before that, the desktop computer was a mystical thing that could take you to wonderlands. I was truly an intriguing machine, instead of just another home appliance.

You are not getting it or getting it all very wrong.. Is a robot that can walk, throw and catch is intelligent? Last day there was a robot that can play ping pong? Is that intelligent?

I think it is useless as a definition, so not even a poor one. But here you go, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47918103

Yes, that is exactly like it. Generating new training data from existing data will only generate patterns that already exist in the training data. It might help LLMs to capture it if has not already. But it can never generate novel patterns

That is not true. We can detect the presence of a thing by the observation of something it causes. That does not imply we have a good definition of the thing. At that point, we can only define it as something that causes this observation. A
