No Vegan believes that everything they do is always the best for the environment - I just believe over the course of being a Vegan, I will end up reducing CO2 emissions overall.

I'd imagine Almond milk is a miniscule part of a Vegan's diet compared to how much meat someone would eat anyway.

This argument really annoys me because it seems like you're trying to discredit vegans and justify the act of eating meat to yourself.

I honestly do not care if people eat meat, but I do care when those people try and use mental gymnastic s to tell me (without any scientific evidence) that what I'm doing is somewhat worse.
Systems thinking is a whole field of research and ideas. There are lots of books, courses, papers, etc.
One reason I dislike "plant-based" that's not in the article: it singles out plant-based food. But for most of history, for most people, food based on plants was the default and still should be. Food should have labels when it includes stuff other than plants (or other than what we humans evolved to eat typically).

The other thing I don't like is that "plant-based" always sounds like marketing. Especially here in Germany where companies have started to use the English term, even though we have plenty of normal German terms. It sounds like a brand or a fad.

It’s still probably not that simple; the problem seems like it can be analogous to some sort of knapsack and/or traveling salesman problem, which are NP-hard! Even testing would take a long time.
Particularly, having an illusion of consciousness would appear to require someone to actually have that illusion. And that someone would appear to be having a subjective experience, i.e. consciousness.

So to me the whole idea of "consciousness is an illusion", while cute, solves nothing.

> Economic sanctions are a political act...

I can see why someone would choose to "disregard" (violate/evade) sanctions if they disagree, and I can see why someone would want to make what is effectively a sanctions-proof company. I just think if you're building a system ideally suited for, say, sanctions-busting or money-laundering or whatever, that you should consider the risk of colliding with the world of laws.

I think the most interesting thing about competitive Scrabble is that it's not really about memorising dictionaries. Once you assume that everyone knows every playable word, the real distinction is in the tactics. There's elements of statistics to determine what your opponent is likely to have, whether to play offensively or defensively, etc.

It's a very different game to "family" Scrabble, but we always had the etiquette rule that you should know the definition of a word you played. It isn't enough to know it's in the Scrabble dictionary.
I guess that makes their answer more authoritative then ;)

They don't "disguise" things as burgers, sausages etc. That's how meat has been prepared since time immemorial across all cultures.

Why do vegans and vegetarians insist on disguising vegetables as meat - now that's the question. Even though the same cultures have a mind-boggling variety of foods that don't involve meat, and don't pretend to be meat.
It's not "pretending". As the comment said, the dataset has something like "paths" and that prompt narrows it down to those that (hopefully) are related to "getting the math right".

Being serious, but have you ever met one of these vegans?

I've definitely heard about them online, but every vegan I've ever met have been nothing alike.

I've often been happily surprised to find someone who I'd been chatting to was also vegan as it didn't even come up before we'd ordered food and they go for a vegan dish.
I don't believe vegan has any ethical implications on its own? Especially given "ethical vegan" is a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veganism

There is another distinction: Vegan is like kosher. It is for people who "can't" eat meat. I feel funny if I order something that is vegan or kosher because I wonder what people think about my identity. But there is no such problem if I order something that is "without meat" or "made from vegetables" or even "plant-based" (or in the case of kosher: beef or chicken instead of pork).

Still, I prefer the term vegan over plant-based because the latter seems convoluted and corporate, as opposed to just "meatless" or even "food" (and marking the non plant based products instead).

As someone who owns a house (after a long time of having much less space), I can state that you'll never get enough space.. not if you wish to stay married, at least. I just don't have the space for all my books, in this relatively large house. Other things constantly compete for the space. I've had to throw away a lot of books. They're hard to even give for free to used book shops, they get so many books from people like me.

In other words - I wish for unlimited storage. A house, unfortunately, isn't even close. There was a book I read, once, which had a house much larger on the inside than on the outside..

I use a Kindle for a lot of books, one reason is that it's so much easier when traveling. Another reason is that my vision isn't as good as it used to, years before I got the Kindle I changed from paperbacks to the larger variants simply to get the larger font. The Kindle lets me adjust the font to something I can read comfortably in every condition. A physical book is still better in many respects though. It looks much better, it's easier to skip forth and back, and if the book contains maps or drawings (fantasy or tech books), a physical book is tons better.
> You're saying that vegan people have to use milk alternatives like almond milk. Which is certainly not the case.

For vegans it certainly is the case. Vegans don't eat food that comes from animals. Milk is one such product. So vegans will definitely use milk alternatives.
The 11'8" bridge sign says "OVERHEIGHT MUST TURN". It's terrible, technically correct, signage, like an automotive "PC Load Letter". It's not clear it's saying you specifically are overheight. At least it needs a colon after the first word. I can see why people would sail through that wondering what it means.

Also it flashes up when it detects an over-tall vehicle, but that won't be clear to a vehicle that's never been there before: it probably looks like one of those speed limit signs that flashes to everyone. And yellow-on-black signage is usually not going to tell you "stomp brakes now", usually more like "road closed next week", so it doesn't filter to the front of brain when navigating an intersection.

I play Polish Scrabble competitively, and IME there’s much more to the game than just memorizing the dictionary. A program that has full knowledge of the dictionary and always plays the highest-scoring word will easily yield to a human.

There’s virtually no strategy, but tactics is of paramount importance. Things like keeping your rack balanced; which one of several similarly-scoring words to play, based on your knowledge of the game state; when and what to exchange, etc. These factors are all at play very much intuitively, and are learnt with practice over the years.

Polish is especially fun to play because it’s highly inflected, meaning that:

- the number of unique words in the dictionary is about one order of magnitude greater than in, say, English or French – it’d be much harder for Nigel Richards to learn them all;

- keeping an eye on certain combinations of letters (that might form an inflective ending) is much more important.

Plus, there’s a small but vibrant community, with its very own history and folklore to be proud of. :)

The example in the parent comment is also wrong. Almond milk produces way fewer emissions than dairy. It just uses a surprisingly large amount of water, which is still roughly half that of dairy.

What part of the mighty buffalo is the wing?

As to why vegans do it - hotdog buns are really well designed for holding a tube of protein.
Ok, i'll be specific. Both are hopefully naive about the dangers of lending their platforms to extremists, and have egos large enough to believe that they can confront and debunk false information faster than it can spread via their discussions (they can't).

And for every border line irresponsible "left wing" guest they have, they have 10 "right wing" ones. Ye, Glenn Greenwald, Alex Berenson, Bari, Taibbi, etc. etc. Perhaps right wing isn't the right label for this new emerging ideology. It seems to be a mix of cynical grifting (ironic given Taibbi's last book) and the politics of grievance and rejection by elites (therefore war must be raged against them) mixed with culture war BS (these days mostly anti-trans rhetoric). This cocktail of mystery seems to mostly live on the right of the political spectrum.

But when you dig a little deeper, most of these individuals were always right wing, they just played along with left wing dogma to be able to succeed in their media roles. Not unlike Trump, knowing that if he wanted to succeed in Hollywood and Manhattan real estate he'd have to vote democrat visibly. But that was never who he was.

> We're talking about a guy who spearheaded the "masks 4 all" push back at the beginning of COVID.

Also, what is left wing about the idea that masks help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses? I also thought that fell into the category of basic science literacy.
I'm in the UK too, and find the plant-based phrase generally useful. For example, some double cream said 'plant-based' alternative and also had the Vegan logo.

I've never really thought about it, but I assumed 'plant-based' was for products like cream that would have dairy and non-dairy alternative.

Saying 'vegan' might imply it's only for vegans where plant based just means 'non-dairy' and might be billed as more inclusive.

I'm not too concerned about it also possibly including eggs, as I always check for vegan icon or read ingredients.
…why would you even do that?
>> Is the catenary example just a case of really fast computation?

It is, but I think its speed comes from the fact that it doesn't have to go through any discrete states during the computation. There's a start state where the weights are hung off the chain, then the end state where it settles into a new shape, but what is between? An infinite number of states? You can perturb it, even, while it's settling, and it will still not change its end state, which is not something you can do to any kind of machine. The computation is also "free" as in gravity. I don't know how we could build a machine to do that and I don't think we can describe it as a Turing machine.

Btw, what makes it a computational device is that the shape of the catenary matches the shape of a load-bearing arch. It's one physical system calculating another. So it's not just using the physics of one system to calculate itself.

But you are right. The universe calculates its own state faster than any computer running in-universe could. Well, why? That's just one thing we don't fully understand. Maybe thinking of the universe as a computer is applying the wrong analogy, and maybe we do the same thing with minds, as you say about electricity etc.

I can't say I understand Penrose's arguments very well. I'm not a phycisist. Turing equivalence exists, of course. But there is something to the fact that I don't get stuck in a loop if I think that "this sentence is false".

Your chain of reasoning is difficult to refute if we're speaking strictly in terms of "common sense" and what I think may be some commonly accepted guide posts we have currently have culturally. For instance, "It seems to be a capability derived from the human physical structure," referring to the idea that we come to know what consciousness is by observing that the notion of self requires the notion of the other and vice-versa, which constitutes part of, if not our whole perception of awareness. Correct me if I'm wrong but this is what I am getting.

Alrighty next to support the assertion that recognition of this dichotomy indicates a strictly physical basis for consciousness, we assert that we've never encountered a person without a body, I think implying that a body is necessary for drawing this boundary between "in" and "out" which characterizes consciousness.

What I would find a bit tenuous about this approach is that it is difficult to define what the physical, the material, really even is. Next, we are working off the presumption that consciousness comes from a division you point out, but this definition comes from a subjective personal observation, which in your last sentence you concede may be the case since people's experiences are different. For instance, in Advaita Vedanta we have one historical example of your assertion with its head turned over, essentially that there is no division, that it is illusory. This idea I would argue has about as much a basis as the one put forth, and this is due to our limitations with such subject matter. If we go down the non dualist route, well I would think we'd be down a pretty different road.

It also doesn't seem immediately apparent how, for lack of a better term, beginning with a dualist assumption, that we can then jump into the idea that this seems to be derived from human physical structure. Sure it seems like it has definitely something to do with it, but the place we begin is so fundamental it feels circular to look through the same tool in order to measure the tool so to speak.
Wikipedia is wrong here.

> Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

> Same with “plant-based cookie”—does that mean no animal butter, but yes to eggs?

An egg isn't the fruit of a plant; of course it's not plant-based if it contains eggs.

Everyone should be irked, regardless of their political alignment in the area of food, if they are told that something with eggs is plant-based. It is a mistake or misrepresentation.

Plant-based can only possibly mean that it's made from leaves, stalks, fruits, nuts, seeds, bark, roots or any other part of a plant.

If it contains mushrooms, yeasts or fungi, it's not plant-based; those are not plants. However, I would be generous in that if some plant comes with certain naturally occurring bacteria or fungi, then something made with that plant can still be plant-based. If the plant material is fermented, confirming bacteria or moulds, let's say it can be plant-based anyway. Insects have to be removed, though.
You’re absolutely right.

I have a newer (wip) version that allows editing while the simulation is running, removing the “play” and “edit” cycle.

Newer editor allows much larger bitmaps (about 2000hz for a 1024x1024 bitmap) and allows the player to zoom, pan, scroll, area select, move, copy and paste.

Newer version is written in Unity and I want to feature increasingly complex levels like programming a vacuum robot or robot lawn mower, traffic lights, train signals, battle tanks AI (like battle city NES, where the bitmap controls the player), and i’ve been fantasizing about attaching some kind of simulated audio chip to play chiptune (although I’m not sure how to create a level around it)

I’m targeting around 25 levels with increasingly difficult challenges or variants, maybe some kind of leaderboard or something. For some levels, I imagine I can make the bitmap AI (like the battle tank) fight other player’s submissions, and have a ranked AI bitmap leaderboard.

I intent to share individual levels once they’re in a decent state to hopefully market the game a bit since there’s already about 250 hours poured into it, and I’m not sure if there’s even a market for it.
What a journey. In a world where FPGAs are our ultimate safety net for preservation, it’s remarkable what can still be sourced for a build like this.
Worse part is that Khronos doesn't seem to get it, as with OpenGL, they expect the community to come up with ways to fix it.
