bobobooeyon Philosopher Philip Goff answers questions about panpsychism

Just because the observable world is testable doesn't mean that subjectivity doesn't hold any value.

Seems like something you wouldn't want to maintain, especially on day 1. It's always something that can be built and transfer over to after the business has grown and developed.

bobobooeyon The Liar's Walk: Detecting Deception with Gait and Gesture

Lying/deceiving about what?

Also: what does "we recorded many participants performing tasks involving deceptive walking" mean? Does this AI detect those who perform deceptive walking, or people who are actually deceptive walking?

bobobooeyon React Suspense

You could still wrap this in a suspense wrapper.

bobobooeyon React Suspense

Isn't still possible to wait for the data from that one request to be loaded? I'm also curious on how this will work with subscriptions.

bobobooeyon React Suspense

Not sure what you mean...GraphQL is just the API endpoint. Using GQL or REST wouldn't make a difference on how suspense works.

You'd still query and display your data in the same way. Suspense will just be a wrapper around the component displaying the data.

bobobooeyon Marie Kondo betrays her whole premise by launching e-commerce store full of junk

Well a rich person and a poor person are both going to keep the plunger, so here we are again starting at 0. You're not really making any sort of point.

If you haven't used your printer in 18 months you're probably okay getting by with the one at the library.

bobobooeyon Marie Kondo betrays her whole premise by launching e-commerce store full of junk

How can spending less and being mindful of what you own a thing only rich can do?

Sure, if you're throwing away useful items and replacing them constantly then you're wasting money. But if you're buying only what you need, discarding items that haven't been used in 18 months, and constantly being mindful of purchases/items you own, there is no way it's "only for the rich".

What an absurd sentiment.

bobobooeyon Uber’s self-driving car could not detect pedestrians outside of a crosswalk

Are 2 errors better than 35,000 human errors?

bobobooeyon Uber’s self-driving car could not detect pedestrians outside of a crosswalk

How do you feel about Tesla releasing their fully self driving software soon? They seem to have a very low accident rate so far.

bobobooeyon Uber’s self-driving car could not detect pedestrians outside of a crosswalk

I imagine most self-driving systems will have a higher success rate than human drivers. Uber's may not of been one of those systems though.

bobobooeyon Uber’s self-driving car could not detect pedestrians outside of a crosswalk

If the car can't detect what's in front of it, then it most definitely should brake. This is up to the engineers to solve this issue, not for a vehicle to continue into a dangerous situation blindly.

bobobooeyon Farm country feeds America, but try buying groceries there

Most countries don't rely on bulk buying groceries at warehouse stores like Costco. That'd be bizarre to most people outside America.

A lot of cultures you go up to the grocery store to buy what you need for what you're cooking that day. Not going once a month to fill a truckload of year long supplies.

Yes, this exists. A majority of my family lives in Ohio, and the town they live in is about 20 miles to the nearest Walmart.

bobobooeyon Boeing 2016 internal messages suggest employees may have misled FAA on 737 MAX

MCAS is a terrible software solution to an engineering problem. On top of that, no sufficient training for the pilots to cover up there awful solution.

There's deaths caused by Boeing's greed and lack of competition against Airbus' new planes.
