Inflating is such a cool idea, it'd work for any 3D shape I can think of. If keeping air pressure is an issue, that might be resolved by making the sheet rigid once deployed. Are there UV curing resins that won't cure…
Ive been wanting a syntax-tree-viewer for months, to help me learn functional languages where figuring out what is even going on syntax-wise in the exmaples provided by tutorials keeps being an issue for me. Does anyone…
It's besides the point, but a slight correction: you wouldn't assume someone's preferred pronouns from details about their genitals (it'd be offensive to ask or try to check!), but from how they present them self -…

Those two books came to me at a time when I was very receptive to and in need of their messages, and I'm still digesting them a year later. Very short, highly recommended to anyone who cares about: emotion, our place in…
It's so weird. I think that sometimes, but I don't usually think about it. Most of the time it's just a short moment "awake" and aware that all of this is batshit absurd, then recognizing that there's nothing for me…
It works for me on Firefox on Android. The color wheel thing is sticky while the rest of the content is not. The wheel changes to illustrate each new example as they're scrolled past.
It's lightness and weight, as in Kundera's 'Unbearable Lightness of Being'. Lightness is nice, it's comfortable, but vertigo inducing. So we also long for weight sometimes.
What type of discipline do you mean? The self discipline to behave in a way that enables you to live a good life? Or external discipline that makes you behave in a way (not necessarily a good way) out of fear of…
Multi track drifting to maximize kill count?
If you were a monkey, would you sacrifice a billion humans to save a monkey? Or equivalently, would you sacrifice a billion humans to save a robot that's twice as sentient as the average human?
That's just a description of normal life though. We must imagine trolleyphus happy. Unless "eternal" means immortality, in which case it's even better than life!
The stuff of nightmares, or an encouragement of bravery to do the right thing regardless of the ambiguousnes and uncertainty? A bit of both, for me.
A trolley problem is going uncontrollably down the tracks. Do you pull a lever to intentionally derail it, or let it pass without consequence? /s
"you" are not the thoughts and emotions that happens to reside in some sack of meat. Or at least that's not a complete picture. In some sense "ask not for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee" should be taken…
That only makes sense if you think in terms of law to the detriment of morality. Does responsibility play any role in morality?
But if you play the trolley game twice, surely you double your kill count across games? Edit: misread your ? as !
Heck yeah it's my decision! I don't want to live in a world where decisions are made like this, but in this case we must accept our role as the lever puller. Or walk away I guess, but that's no different from actively…
Don't forget robots. Sentient robots are AT LEAST between cat and lobster, perhaps above human. Robot rights now!
I voted to speed it up. "I don't know everything so I remain cautious" is a mentality I applied for some problems, and not for others. In this case I thought the problem would be trivial/boring if considered from that…
You don't get to not choose.
Cheese is not about dairy or fermentation, it's about that funky cheesy flavour and texture. It's about fulfilling a certain role in our culinary tradition.
Is photography becoming obsolete as a means of pure artistic expression? It might stay useful for documenting reality, and in the space where art and documentation meets (e.g. it's still nice to have pretty pictures in…
Would you mind sharing where I can read about this? It's going to be important for my upcoming career choices.
Doesn't that just mean the least interesting number definitely exists but is simply unknowable?
