What's with the antisemitism? Did some Jew hurt you personally?

who doesn't hate jews?

And they will soon find out that world's make believe. No one I know, and I know hundreds and hundreds if not thousands of people would allow themselves in a room to be recorded surreptitiously.

And yet we are surrounded by cameras that do this constantly

I've been writing C/C++/Java for 25 years and am trying to learn forex disciplined, risk managed forex trading, It's a whole new level of hard work/thinking.


Sounds like Windows needs to undergo a similar evolution, or rather, renewal as what OS 9 did moving to OS X. I'm not sure what that might look like, but the easiest route is to probably rebase Windows atop Linux, with a WINE emulation layer to start with to keep compatibility with old apps, as they transition/port their cash cows to Linux/Rust. Rust has been in their sights for a long time now and seems MS is committed to it. They have a 4+ decade long legacy and it needs to be shed, not hauled into the future forever. It will breathe new life into MS. They know they need it. Question is, is Nadella the one to pull this off?


How would rebuilding Windows on top of Linux help anything? Nobody is complaining about the NT kernel and none of the Linux DEs are clearly superior to the Windows userland, they all have at least as many bugs and warts.


this is the extent to what I use any LLM - they're really good at looking up just about anything, in natural language, and most of the time even the first hit, without reprompting, is a pretty decent answer. I used to have to sort thru things to get there, so there's definitely an upside to LLMs in this manner.


Am I the only one who has never owned an Apple iPhone? I just got my Pixel 7 upgraded to Pixel 10 Pro XL, couldn't be happier.


You and more than half the world.


Nothing against emacs, but check out NeoVIM. If you like Emacs, you might like NeoVIM and its powerful extensibility features.


What makes NeoVIM emacs-like?


It's not emacs-like. But a lot of plugins wants to adopt the emacs philosophy of having it open for the duration of your login session. Instead of the quick edit and be done of standard Vim.


Reminds me of one of my favorite ST: TNG episodes, "The Measure of a Man" - I urge anyone who read this note to watch this episode.

Ultimately it comes down to the question of whether machines, regardless of how smart they can be made to appear, even if they pass the Turing test with flying colors, are imbued with a soul.

In the episode, the Enterprise JAG officer, questions whether we humans "have souls."

C.S. Lewis felt that our souls transcend time/are immortal, whereas our bodies are temporal (https://checkyourfact.com/2019/09/18/fact-check-cs-lewis-sou...).

What we call "AI", is created in our image, e.g. training the model defines its range/category of responses.

We humans, if you'll believe it, are created in our Creator's image. By Creator, I do not mean our parents here.

FFT - what do you believe?


That's a great episode, but the question of whether anything has a soul is ill defined.

Until someone can come up with a rigorous definition of what a soul is, the question itself has no meaning.


There are plenty of very rigorous definitions of what a soul is, though. Judging by your screen name I take you're already familiar with Aristotle, so what's your issue with his hierarchy of souls (vegetative, sensitive and rational)? Each one of those is as well defined as it can be within his logical system.


Humans create AIs but humans also create other humans, through conception. And yet we do not say that humans were created by humans. Could we not say that AIs were created by God, by making the patterns of intelligence evident in Nature and letting other intelligences unravel them?

As you say, AIs also reflect the image of the Creator (through having intelligence). Maybe AIs can also reflect on the nature of Truth and connect with God, and thus a have a soul.


I never buy routers w wifi. Running PC Engines APU4 with Ubiquiti AP is more rock solid/stable than anything else I ever ran which had wifi+wired in a single router.


To all the CS folk, he was a legend.


He's still alive, according to his wife. There's been some confusion over it today.
