@rough__sea Its a good argument for being vegan. You might hate the label, you might never wish to advertise membership of that group, but you never have to wonder if the animal you ate suffered.
@ToKTeacher@bgreene@DavidDeutschOxf Why did the big bang not contain einstein’s theory? Or why did it not contain the initial state which would eventually produce that theory deterministically.
@ToKTeacher I think we get to experience life but we don’t get to direct it. We are machines that are simple functions of their inputs. Choosing is a state that this machine gets to experience but it’s not agency nor non-determinism.
@BigBrainBizness Buffett i think is saying it’s not valuable as an appreciating asset. Many people are trying to buy it early before it stabilizes at a higher value. I think B would have no interest guessing at that. BC is interesting because of its properties as a store of value.
@astupple@knosciwi@dchackethal Compulsion is a force.
When you say it is an idea, are you saying that it’s a force we have the power to resist? Certainly it depends on the force.
@perigean@ToKTeacher I think the sort doesn’t matter.
If you’re concious of something it means it has been captured and represented as a brain state. So everything that it means to be human is part of the computation which can be run on any computer.
@chriszeuch@steveruizok@just_be_dev I can offer a guess. The dynamics are changing w.r.t open source. Retaining the tests is a form of IP control. Maybe it was not as necessary in the previous landscape. Hope open source can stay around and be healthy.
@Zoddiacc@Hesamation There’s most likely overlap between what you can enjoy and where you can earn. The less you like it, the more difficult over the long term. If you really like it, it may be difficult in the near term. A job is a good feedback loop - better than neeting and hypothesizing.
@Citrini7 The idea of a well designed checkout being replaced or disappearing is interesting. What we should see is the disappearance of things we don’t actually care about. We will discover the new places where we wish to have a say and be involved.
@rough__sea Good example was when codex still rendered its own scrollbar. The ideas in the terminal are strong but obfuscated. The idea of composition and one job per tool is something the GUI world has not adopted. Funny the loop of GUI users coming back to the t to make it more GUI like.
@ejames_c When you develop the muscle to carve your own path, you open the opportunity to go somewhere new, also to fully appreciate things already discovered. Self-discovery/adaptability reinforce your ability to construct mental models.
@ejames_c You can imagine the effect which a perfect oracle would have on a learner. They would be ahead and behind. Conversely, I think every student who is truly self taught is likewise ahead and behind.
