They've made a good book to help people get the concept. It's called "the gateless gate" and it's a series of seemingly non-sensical stories, that you're supposed to think about and try to see the meaning behind it.

A lot of that was reversed in Western Europe after the western part of Roman Empire crumbled.

It is the simplest one-sentence argument for physicalism! If consciousness is a purely physical phenomenon, then it should be no surprise that everyone with a healthy brain has one, including you. If it isn’t, then what supernatural event caused it to appear specifically in you?
> Where I get confused though is this sentence: "...the story that our self-model comes up to explain (and help predict) our reactions to ourselves". What is "ourselves" here? That implies some observer that the self-model is explaining things to.

That is a good point, language is pretty important in these things. I just meant "ourselves" as the overall brain/mind. That is, the self-model component just feeds these models into the planning component, so that the planning component can decide the next actions to take.

Does it matter if you are on the death row? Some of those who are there will be executed, and waiting for decades if you hang or not is pretty inhuman. Once there is a legal sentence of death on you, it is a matter of policy if you actually hang or not, and policy may change with a different PM/governor etc.

That feels very bad to me. If a retentionist country wants to hang people, it shouldn't add endless insecurity on top of the punishment.

Edit.: interesting that this is controversial enough to be downvoted. Remember Trump signing the death warrants of 13 federal death row inmates during the last 6 months of his presidency? Yeah, once you are legally condemned to death, your actual execution is a matter of electoral random walk, which is pretty nasty.
Agreed, the quality has slipped somewhat but I do believe the choice was in part due to the way cheaper offering by Brave, as after the change (or with it), they brought back $10/mo unlimited. Looking at brave's pricing, they do it based on reqs/sec + limit/month and it's way cheaper ($5/mo sub = 20mil searches, $0.00000025 a search if maxing it out) - This is based on the data for AI plan which is $5/mo rather than $3/mo as Kagi does run some AI stuff atop the results [1].

I feel I've seen more AI Spam recently although when I do I've just ended up downvoting the site immediately, and that has generally fixed the issues as there seems to be a few repeat offenders. That could totally be up to the Kagi postprocessing being tweaked though.

> Persecuting your own citizens who worship minority religions is not decolonization in any way.

Reclaiming your own temples, after giving the injured party land to rebuild their mosque, is not persecution in my book. I would argue that building a mosque after demolishing a temple at the place Hindus believe their Lord was born was a deliberate provocation, and the other party refusing to let it go for 500 years was persecution of Hindus and their faith.

No other mosque in Ayodhya was touched when this particular mosque was demolished three decades back. If Hindus were truly supremacist, every single one would have been.

> minority

There are more than 600,000 mosques in India and over 200 million Muslims. They are a second majority.
Sure, 1984 and Animal Farm were both fine critiques of Stalinism. They’re not that deep though, and it’s curious that this “socialist” “anarchist” author is largely revered for his critiques of communism. Again, largely because of his wife’s work at the propaganda ministry.
That is very well put, but it does rely on the government not interfering in the crypto sphere too much. Given the CCP's crackdowns everywhere else, if citizens stashing away money in bitcoin becomes a big problem, they're likely to pay attention to this area too.

After all, you somehow have to get your dollars or RMB or whatever converted into cryptocurrency in the first place, and then get them out again when you want to buy something with them. You also need to hope that the government doesn't have the resources to take over 51% of the network by conscripting all the miners running in their country.

> I wonder if anyone has calculated a range of body sizes which maximise intelligence and the ability to exploit resources of their planet.

I don't think we understand intelligence well enough even on Earth to do something like that. For example, these spiders seem to have certain cognitive capacities beyond what a hippopotamus can do, even though the hippopotamus is obviously much larger. Even in a single genera, the intelligence of mammals or even just apes doesn't seem to scale with size or brain size.

There did seem to be some correlation between intelligence and the ratio of brain size to body size, but even that is not well established, and it is not clearly evident why it would matter. And, as others are pointing out, many studies of animal intelligence are actually deeply flawed, so perhaps we have just been measuring very wrongly.
Can you elaborate more on how Javascript allows for sharing of addon names? I didn't know this and wasn't able to find any references on it.
VS Ramachandran has an interesting talk about mirror neurons, which is a subset of motor neurons. They activate when you perceive anybody else doing something as opposed to only activating during your actions. This is fundamentally a built-in empathy/group learning mechanism, but it also has some other interesting implications too.

For example, when somebody touches someones hand in your view, your mirror neurons activate just like you yourself have been touched. Then your nerve endings in your hand send a signal to cancel the effect, but sometimes you still get a tingling from the neural confusion depending on the strength of the signal (e.g. watching someone getting kicked in the balls or russian daredevils walking on top of highrises). But, if there is no nerve endings there, there is nothing to cancel the signal, so you do experience another persons feeling of being touched as your own. Therefore, the only thing that separates our consciousness is literally our skin and our nerve endings on it.
That's the desired effect for me, I'd have had a vasectomy already if it seemed safe enough. Pretty much 100% of the anecdotes you get are people saying it's nothing and they were powerlifting the next day, but then you look up the incidence of chronic ballache...

Chat Control. Who pays when a private joke ends with an F18 escorting your plane
A student from London travels to Menorca with five friends. Before entering the plane, he sends a photo of himself to the private Snapchat group that says: “I'm going to detonate the plane (I'm a member of the Taliban).” When the plane is flying over France, the British intelligence services transmit the allegd threat to their Spanish counterparts, who send two military planes to escort the flight to the island. The prosecution requests a fine of 22,500 euros and civil liability compensation of 94,782 euros, the bill for the F-18s

> In a way, before IJS skaters were chasing overall greatness, now they chase points.

I've watched a figure skating routine recently for the first time in almost 20 years (I think the last show that I had followed was the 2006 Winter Olympics) and I was surprised to see how technical it had all become, how routine, there's no "artistry" left. It didn't use to be like this.

Similar thing happened with the NBA, now everyone chases the 3-point shoots and in so doing whatever it is that had made the NBA one of the best sports shows in the world is losing its shine. In this day and age Jordan would be seen just as a gimmicky player.
I didn't grow up in China, but had a Redmi 3 several years ago and can attest that the price was just too good to beat. Unlike the phone I bought in China back in 2011, the Redmi had a nice UI and felt like the closest thing to an iPhone of any Android I'd used at that point.

Wasn't the original (disabled) ventilation system that accelerated the Glasgow School of Art fire?
Sure, but the tinier the worker, the more effort you need to build a machine of a certain size. Even today, most construction of any kind has significant manual work components. We are pretty good at building things hundreds of times bigger than ourselves, but I'm not sure we would be great at building something a million times bigger than a human. Of course this is not directly comparable, since we are often limited by materials science before raw manpower if attempting something like this; a 2km tall skyscraper is fundamentally harder to build than a 20m one regardless of the size of your workforce.
Clearly removing all plants gets rid of all weeds as well. I see no problems here.
The guy who ran the shop used to go into long rants about how modern TVs were just a tube, a transformer and a PCB.

That's 14% of the population (vs 80% for Hindu), it's not a second majority, it's the definition of a minority. For the record, Jews accounted for 10% of the Polish population in 1939…
Yes! And occasionally, I still miss them.

Well, I don’t think there’s a one size fits all number. I’m not even convinced previous convictions should be considered in sentencing.

I am not asking for answers from philosophers. I am asking for a description of the reasoning behind the existing three strikes policies.

A philosophy is just a framework of thinking. It doesn’t have to be created by intellectuals.

You are wrong. In most jurisdictions theft is defined as taking something away from the legal owner. If what you said was true then taking away your own property from the thief who stole it would also be a theft.
To have fun perhaps? Not everything people do is about other people.
To be fair, except for vue.global.min.js, all the JS files which OP pulls from third-party hosts are integrity-checked. So unless clients use very outdated browsers that don’t support the `integrity` attribute, the respective third parties wouldn’t be able to start inserting malicious code in the future.

That being said, I agree it’s still a cheap security improvement for OP to control the hosting themselves. (Plus to integrity-check the Vue dependency.)

I wouldn't take the leap into the Faraday cage so easily, that would imply that consciousness is measurable in the electromagnetic field. I don't think that's true, otherwise we would have measured it already.

"My hope is that if Apple does decide to integrate GPT or any other Large Language Model technology, it will do so with a thoughtful consideration of how it truly benefits the user. This means not just incorporating LLMs because they are the current technological vogue but assessing how they can enrich the Apple experience. Ideally, this would involve a seamless product fit where the technology feels like a natural extension rather than a forced addition."

GPT-4ism of explication with a "not...but" construction is really awful. I swear bar the big boy publishers, all the articles written about LLMs are written by LLMs. So much garbage.
