Just to understand the baseline you're working form, what data are you drawing on when stating what's "normal"? It has appeared to me throughout this conversation that you are starting from the assumption that your…
I can only tell you that I do not have mental imagery and am not constantly surprised by my surroundings. Object permanence has absolutely no dependency on visualization; it is completely unsurprising to me that the…

Not who you asked, but also have aphantasia. "think of" is far too ambiguous here to really meaningfully drill into the differences of _how_ people think about things. I know that a stop sign is a red octagon (with a…
Constructively using LLMs tends to require validating the quality of their output; even when not hallucinating content, they do hallucinate confidence. Increasing the size of the output dramatically increases the effort…
There's actually already a study on spatial reasoning and aphantasia: https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=... Basically, aphantasiacs tend to do just as well at spatial reasoning tasks as people…
They've certainly come to appear that way, but in female/male (and, to a lesser extent, woman/man) the etymology is distinct. Female comes through Old French "femelle", which ultimately traces back to Latin "femina"…
The draft doesn't include any actual examples with multiple returns on a function that uses check internally, but the behavior is fully specified: > A check returns from the enclosing function by returning the result of…
