What gave you the idea that I was making a scientific argument?
The quote you copy-pasted from the article has nothing to do with my comment.
So you were able to think of a couple confounding factors off the top of your head, but you dismiss the idea that the researchers had considered those factors and controlled for it? Despite the fact that their full time…
With no disrespect to Dabney, but these kinds of obituaries make HN kind of morbid in my opinion.
I'm satisfied with Cinnamon. If any dev happens to read this: thank you and keep up the good work, it's appreciated.
> what's gravity got to do with it? Gravity got the following to do with it: Lower gravity makes it easier for the atmosphere to escape to space, especially since Mars has a very weak magnetosphere. Second, to have a…
Why don't they just write the network stack in Rust? Then we would know it's secure with no audit required.
I meant the effects of fever, so that perhaps different parts of the brain was affected differently by the temperature increase. I really have no idea, but I was saying that it is not an obvious fact either way.
I'm not saying that filtration theory is false, I'm saying it seems less likely to me than the following alternative: The chemical composition of a sober persons brain causes us to have the usual experience, but taking…
No hadn't seen it.
I agree that fever and lack of sleep can produce hallucinations, but I'm not convinced that they are non-localized effects in the brain, nor that psychedelic chemicals are non-localized in the brain.
Why not?
I hope you're right.
So somewhat less likely then.
I wonder what the odds are we would be seeing articles like this if Philip's apparent bias ran in the other direction.
Describe the subjective process by which you decided whether to get up. Probably you just felt like it, or were coerced by your bladder. If you had a reason, then your actions are a product of that reason, which itself…
Okay I accept your compatibilist definition that actions are done with free will despite being part of a causal chain. Congratulations, you won the language game, and can proceed to claim we agreed free will is real.…
My argument wasn't considering the difference between having a thought and acting on it because I did not think it was an important distinction. Whatever mechanism there is that makes you act on some thoughts but not on…
In order to author your decisions, you'd first have to author the decision to author your decision, and so on. So you would need to decide what your next thought is going to be before your think it, as well as deciding…
> The "free will" question has centuries of ethical baggage attached to it that are critical to a functioning justice system, among other concerns. In that case the concept is detrimental to our justice system. Take…
Wanna know how I'm 100% certain that your job and hobbies does not involve typing beyond casual chat messages?
I agree. Moreover, it's obvious to me that an imperfect human pilot is worse than no human pilot at all.
You're making it sound as if Tesla invented the phenomena of distracted drivers that cause traffic accidents.
Why not just program it in Rust if you want to guarantee that the system doesn't have any security vulnerabilities?
"That is so sad and convicting. Great reminder for us all to put those phones down and engage with our kids more." I imagine a mother posting that comment on her phone, with a couple young children looking at her sadly…
