I have not read the linked article, but these pop-science articles referring to the scientific article:

https://www.vice.com/en/article/our-conscious-reality-is-a-m...

https://discoverwildscience.com/consciousness-research-says-...

I found this interesting to think about as I'm thinking a lot about the mind, consciousness, intelligence, etc lately. Mostly related to ADHD, autism, dementia, my ability to remember things, faces, names, people, etc but also LLMs, etc.

I don't really have anything to contribute, it felt more like another piece to add to the very large, barely started and unorganized puzzle I have in my mind vaguely about the mind.

As a grammar and language Messerschmidt I hate how correct and elegant this is:

> If those who correct can’t or won’t explain why one is correct over the other, then it simply isn’t.

I will try to remember this and also execute it with kindness and trivia, like you suggest, in the future.

Thank you.

Ha! I guess I'm less human than expected, and finally I understand why I've failed sooooo many CAPTCHAs over the years :)

Thanks, I really never knew!

Off-topic:

retrofitta

Definition

Add (a component or accessory) to something that did not have it when manufactured.

What did you think it meant?

[EoF]

Strålande! Well done :)

"Fitta" is sort of like "cunt" in Swedish & .se is the TLD of Sweden.

I disagree...

Actual intelligence might be[0] to know what typos (of any kind) are fun to riff off.

Maybe this didn't hit the mark for you, but it got a chuckle out of me (especially considering the last hype before AI was crypto).

[0] I don't even try to figure that out anymore, in a few years I'll pick the definition that I think best captures my thoughts

For now, but then again they weren't going to show ads at all according to ppl in this topic.

What a great link, thanks.

Hopefully there will be some artifacts from this that will be available to the greater public.

I'm having immense problems digesting this interview to understand the concept of the uni-context.

It does sound very interesting and right up my alley.

I also don't seem to be able to use internet search anymore (probably a user error) so if anyone has a link to a document, soundfile or video of Agnes Callard explaining the concept without the interuptions from a interviewer that is more interested in contributing than to let her explain the concept I would very much appreciate it.

This is, IMO, an excellent analogy.

Then it was to protect our modems bandwidth (cost and time) while now it's more about protecting our own cognitive bandwidth.

I really like how the article focuses on rest and not doing the thing as a core part of learning.

How learning and doing aren't exactly the same and that you need to get back to it many times rather than doing a lot at once.

It's ofc nothing new and the same principle as for example spaced repetition.

What a delightful find, pairs well with the post about designing for a blind client[0].

Thank you for posting <3

Maybe other people, besides you; obviously, like doing, knowing or learning things without the need to be the most efficient at it.

Like, in a just having a life kind of way.

But what do I know?

A common misunderstanding with the GPL and other copy left licences is that they care about money and monetary transactions.

They mostly do not.

They only demand that you offer the source code to anyone that asks for it if you also distribute any kind of executable (you may even charge to cover the costs of the distribution).

The AGPL expands this to SaaS's too to close that loophole.

This is like saying you are the customer when you buy branded goods when in essence you are just paying to advertise the product for them.

Very weird world we live in!

I'm sure that is correct for many people, but as I said: to _me_ things taste better at around room temperature.

Even though I don't doubt your claim that some particles travel easier at higher degrees I suspect the difference is too small to notice before the rise in temperature becomes distracting to _me_.

I do!

I think almost everything tastes better at room-ish temperature.

(Some things need to be colder or hotter to keep their texture, but I can't think of anything that _tastes_ better outside of the 16~25°C range)

How do you mean that capitalist economies are proven to work?

Like what does "work" constitute?

Capitalist economy.

Economies can exist in many different ways. At its core it is just a way to describe how we move resources between ourselves and that can be done in many, many ways.

How much water was used to make 1 jacket?

Like a life cycle analysis.

I understand it is about having access to water in dry places when you really need it, but still at some point these efforts forgot about something.

I think it's because you have to use your imagination.

Just like active recall (essentially guess consciously before checking the answeris) a better way to learn I think the less detail their is in the story (book, game, movie, etc) the more you have to do yourself and so it becomes your own experience rather than someone elses.

> - We’re not positioning ourselves as a purely EU-based CA substitute, and we generally don’t market it that way.

OK, but in the context of this topic thr interesting part isn't your marketing but your jurisdiction.

Could you clarify which jurisdiction you operate under and a link on the ZeroSSL website that collaborates that?

Thank you <3

Fantastic comment, thanks.

In my opinion this is a much greater variable than lions for our fight, flight, fawn response that is used to explain stress.

The explanation is that we are evolved to stress about lions, but there are no lions (in most of our lives) so the stress is irrational and should be ignored or sidestepped.

My theory is that we are more stressed and struggle more with mental health because we, in our modern societies, are part of many more groups. And the rules for inclusion are stricter since every group has to define themselves against all the other groups.

So what really happens is that our bodies react as intended to the available stimulus of all the groups we instinctively want to be part of.

There are just too many groups.

I don't have any solutions, just a theory that helps me navigate my life.

I object to the notion that this person is keeping a family journal with their memories.

Unless they all share in writing and choosing images, it is a personal journal about a family from one members perspective.

Other members of the family would have experienced the recorded events differently and would have chosen different things to record.

(Written as a person that often thinks that different things are interesting and noteworthy.)

> If money or economics were relevant in these decisions, most wars would probably not play out in the first place.

I don't understand what you mean here.

Aren't wars fought over natural resources or the political power over natural resources.

Obviously people sometimes miscalculate but in principle I mean.

I would say that simply expanding the first word of "hello -" into:

> Hello, Folk Computer is a research & art project centered around designing new physical computing interfaces. [read more](./notes/tableshots.txt)

Is more than sufficient, most of the website is for people who already know about the project. I'm just asking for a small part at the beginning for us who are new :)

If you have any ins with this project would you mind asking them to add a line or 2 describing what it is about, or even a linked text in the start.txt file?

Just a simple:

> Folk Computer is a research & art project centered around designing new physical computing interfaces.

From ./notes/tableshots.txt with a link towards the top would imo be quite helpful.

(Sorry, this is just one of my pet peeves: needing to know what a project is about before being able to read about it is just terrible UX, although extremely common as we as humans tend to forget that we know things others don't)

This article is brainrot.

It is ragebait with no clear idea on actual steps to take against the brainrot industrial complex.

It states that we can't or shouldn't even bother thinking about what to do about it instead it offers super generic unhelpful self-help guideline that is almost impossible to do since we must fight the brainrot industrial complex every ms to make it while they just have to win once an hour (or less) to keep us occupied.

I'm all for describing problems without even trying to find solutions.

But this is worse: this pretends to offer a solution so we get the kick of feeling good without actually accomplishing anything.

True brainrot crap article.

[Edit:] Spelling and formatting

Because I'm actually curious if they mean "new" as in "a new knock-knock joke" (which imo is a quite small step especially if you are allowed to screen all attempts and only publish the ones that work) or as "a new kind of joke or way of telling a joke" (which is a giant step especially if it's told live without pre-screening by a human).

I'm all for dismissing LLMs and the AI-hype but I'm also interested in trying to understand what it means to be human and I think humour is a key aspect.
