For it to be 'like' to be anything, the anything must have some send of self. Without a sense of self, there is just information processing. For that reason, it isn't 'like' anything to be, say, most insects, let al

So we just both have different anecdotal experiences. I live in the US also, and the places I've worked were pretty clear. For example, working at a big4 accounting firm, they specified pretty clearer in the dress code that pants didn&

I'm not trolling and correct, I've never had to use that argument. Are you British or something? In the US and most western countries, pants simply means some kind of full leg covering, and generally that's going to be jeans,

Jeans are pants and wearing them isn't sloppy.

Yeah. Kind of weird we have people submitting GPT samples to people that likely have GPT themselves and could ask it for one if that's what they wanted. But then plenty of people link google searches as though that makes sense.

No worries, thanks for looking! I'm still new to learning about a lot of this stuff, and didn't realize neurons in the body could use chemical signals to communicate with the brain. I still don't see how that indicates their

I have this simulation on my computer, it's really interesting to see. Limited inputs, and the same neurons light up every time for the same input. These animals are 'conscious' yet not capable of any kind of higher thought,

People are already self-hosting other things maybe, and you can self-host from a PC at home without needing to pay hosting. The advantages are control over data, greater privacy, etc.

The focus isn't on the PA, sure they're just the hand of the studio. My point is that it's crappy that the studio allows filming to interfere with and block ticket holders from going to their seats.

by ruthmarx 2y ago
> perhaps the filming happened in a way that wouldn’t interfere with watching the actual event; A PA being able to stop ticket holders from going back to their seats because they got a snack sounds like a lot of interference to me.

First I'd point out that people living in the same city as someone accused is not necessarily a peer, even if they are considered as such for the purposes of a jury. Are a bunch of subtly racist blue collar white voters the peer of an
