  • Be wary of spammy reposting bots

    Jump

  • I'd love the ability to filter users based on average posts per day. My world does not need twenty screenshots per hour of some edgy comments from Xitter. I don't care whether the posters are human or not; what does it matter if they've become meat puppets of the algorithm?

  • How to occupy your time during too-many-meetings

    Jump

  • Sorry, you've both missed and got the point. My question wasn't about whether a human hand is physically capable of placing an 'O' in a specific square. I linked to that video because that game makes no sense. The video answers my question; this end game could arise only through extreme stupidity.

  • Nope. I'm just old and stupid.

  • How do you find meaning in life?

    Jump

  • About 20 years ago, I was walking through a city centre with a friend, on the way to catch a train. A couple of Mormons tried to stop us, asking, "Have you ever thought about the purpose of life?"

    Barely breaking stride, I shouted out, "Hot sweaty man sex!"

    I don't consider that to be the purpose of life1, but remembering the look on their faces helps keep me grounded whenever I'm inclined to consider questions that cannot be answered.

    That said, my resolution to the conflict between free will and determinism is to assume assume that 'truth' operates on a principle of equivalence. That's to say, if two models generate the equivalent outcomes, they are equivalently 'true'. The universe we observe could have deterministic rules that give rise to the same observable outcomes as one in which we have absolute free will, in which case the two models are equivalent. It would make no sense to endow one with a greater truth than the other.

    That's a slightly difference definition of 'truth' than is commonly accepted, but it works for me.

    1: It's just a nice bonus.

  • This is so insulting... to anyone with a knob. I don't want a JD Vance in my pants, neither literally nor metaphorically.
