Ok but that's a hypothesis you make. To me it is absurd how an external object can exist independently of perception. What does it even mean that anything "exists" without senses to perceive it?

“If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe”. Reality is perception. It is one set of logical possibities that allow the thinking agent to exist and to produce the thoughts it is producing right now. I

The universe and the brain are just assumptions, you're already in the realm of imagination when you talk about them as they can't be empirically known. You only know what you experience right now, that could be the entirety of it

The big deal is that 100K+ users were relying on those properties not being mangled so that they can use an extension that allowed them to customize arbitrary pieces of the UI to make it more ergonomic for their screens (change fonts, chang

Of course, it needs to be constitutional for it to work, a complete ban of privacy. There can't be any entity that is priviledged over that because that would be terrible. Keep in mind that "human rights" is a thing we invent

But if you take today's societies as an example, those that do encourage being openly gay are those that have much less incidents of judgement towards gay. Societies where it's culturally fine to be naked in various situations, yo

Dealing with aggression using privacy doesn't seem to be solving the problem though, nor it is a solution? You shouldn't live your life hiding. We need privacy because of X, underlies the assumption that X is something different a

Privacy though is perpetuating that priviledged class because they can do their shady business in secret. If everything was transparent, that would be harder to achieve. Also the "every human society that's ever existed" isn&

I've always wondered behind the rationale on privacy being a human right. What if it wasn't? What if instead we were enforcing transparency? Force everything to be public, starting from the government down to the local coffee shop

Sometimes a story is just something happens and nice pictures. Not every story needs to be indoctrinating specific arbitrary morals that humans like to impose on others. Let a story be in itself just a story of some thing and which no big d

It's a lesson that stuff happen, then other stuff follow, wait for those. Turns out, it's just more stuff. And it's ok to be this way. I'd say it's a lesson in Zen.

What elevates a human story higher than ChatGPT's? Do our brains have some hidden trascendental property that LLMs can never get to? Or is it simply our own biases once we learn that this is the product of an algorithm rather than huma

What i take from this is that your personal actions on GitHub and the actions of a bot doing API calls are indistinguishable in their logs, otherwise it would be obvious that those stars have a caller that is not you.

By few you mean those that deserve it and by rest you mean those that would have otherwise leeched off of their labor? Yes, that sounds right. And fair.

Best thing that happened to my life. I was reborn again after alcohol had left my system completely. All the years before that were a complete waste, an illusion. My anecdote, I've come to believe that alcohol, besides its short term a

Another useful rule is to think it terms of intentions and split to those individual intentions. You can always reduce code down to a single function call, but was that the original intention? Try to think as a reader that just stumbled on

But there are libraries that a bad dev can make fast software with. You can accidentally make a laggy textbox in one framework more often than another, that's why what framework you use matters. The textbox is just an example, there ar

I can see this being used in soccer matches to replay, zoom in and rotate the scene to see if it was a foul or offside or something. Very nice.

I posted this at the Google group, though it is pending approval. So this is a shorter version of it from memory: I have a dev http/2 server that is serving my app locally, amounting to 271 module dependencies. It takes about 400-500ms

I believe there is a category error when we try to say anything about art as art is a mode of being or a mode of experience which cannot be put into words, the same way we can't talk about what the color red looks like or explain what

And government transparency should be constitutional. Yet the opposite is true, governments are opaque and citizens must be transparent.

Tangential, maybe someone here knows; how complicated would be to implement an autocompleter that just understands syntax + patterns and can offer me suggestions but based on my own stuff? Like what is the simplest version of Copilot that d
