It only takes one step meta-wards to explain "fun" as evolutionarily valuable. I'm getting really tired of consciousness and qualia being talked about as binary, all-or-nothing, divine rights. If you drive a familiar route, a

I kinda buy it. If you go back to Freud, he describes how impulses and desires are repressed and sublimated while the mind is functioning normally. Tourette's is an example of the barrier between impulse and physical action being weake

Says the annual failure rate is 1.5%, but average time to failure is 2.5 years? Those numbers don't line up. Are most drives retired without failing?

While we're complaining, does anyone else think the button mechanism is too complicated? That diagram has 50 annotations, which seems like too many for a button. I know nothing about fabrication or physical engineering, but surely it c

In university, my friend used an iPad for all his notetaking. He had a keyboard for it, and used it like a little laptop. Bet he would have been all over this! The UI is good, looks clean

What a *****! Starts out with a clear message - "This civilization is dying" And relinquishes the power of it, bogged down in political and philosophical quagmires. The language even - "my words on the topic were achieving so

One GPU running continuously is arguable, the 10s of thousands that go into training LLM have definitely way over shot human processing flops. Evolution definitely still has us beat on optimization-work put into thinking. Some implemented h
