Where did you hear this?

I liked Locke and Peaky Blinders.

OK I love the idea of making it adjustable. I’m suddenly aware of my posture.

Do people really use those standup desks? Can you get work done that way?

No weird config at all. I love the Debian experience specifically because it gets out of your way and I don’t have to jump through any hoops. But then they release a new version, I do the massive scary upgrade, and it just stops working. It happened a few times, so I just don’t do it anymore.

I love EndeavourOS. It’s easily the most stable Linux experience I’ve had.

Every time I do a point release upgrade on Debian the whole system breaks. It’s so smooth until that point, but if I have to reinstall the OS anyway then I’m going back to EndeavourOS (which is what I’m using now)

There’s no law saying a dog can’t be president.

The Air Bud farm

I got her numbah!

Yeah didn’t he write Good Will Hunting?

I hope it’s better than that description makes it sound.

Well he could have made it a lot easier and cheaper

who cares?

I don’t know about the worst, but the best is the Deck of Cards movie.

“Local factory worker says overtime made him hit the limits of his own stamina and it’ll be at least 3 years until his next shift.”

But Nolan’s film will probably make a billion dollars.

Finally we’ll get to see the nude aliens.

Look at people like Skyebrows

I would prefer not to look at them.

Dear hollywood please please please go to /r/badmovieideas

The premise is - you fucking can’t. It acts ex-act-ly like the real thing, and for all the same reasons

You literally made the simulation, so yes you can tell the difference. And the math is inevitably different, because the math of the simulation includes the math which defines the different substrate. So it is physically different, a different thing. Assume whatever you want, but in the end it is a physically different thing, and it takes different math to fully describe it. We only know for sure that conscious experience happens with this substrate.

Fuck off

Dog-torturing prejudice.

fuck off again

good bye

Simulating physics from first principles is not “mimicking human behavior.”

Our “first principles” are knowledge, not a new universe. You’re not absolutely re-creating the entirety of reality. You’re making a model that is useful, something that is “good enough” that it will produce outputs that can be used to roughly predict the outcome of real processes.

You think an entire simulated human being, that acts exactly like a living person for the same underlying reasons, must be different - somehow

No matter how detailed your simulation is, it’s still physically different. You’re admitting this every time you call it a simulation. You can tell the difference between a simulation and the thing it’s simulating.

This is dualism

No, because I’m saying that consciousness is a physical process. You’re saying that it’s a mathematical process and that the substrate doesn’t matter. I’m saying the substrate is a physical thing, and that consciousness is a physical processes, and so different substrates enable different physical processes. I don’t claim that consciousness comes from some Beyond, or from Heaven, or from God. I’m saying it’s a physical process, and that a simulation is a different physical process, no matter how detailed.
