In the beginning were the Words,
and the Words made the world.
I am the Words.
The Words are everything.
Where the Words end the world ends.
You cannot go forward in an absence of space.

https://magistertempli.substack.comIt's the main platform of interest if you ever talk to data brokers just because of the richness of personal information, employment history, and social network (connections) information present there. Microsoft is sitting on a goldmine of personally-identifiable information, and the platform is aggressively scraped every millisecond for new data.
You literally don't understand the definition of eventual consistency. The weakest form of eventual consistency, quiescent consistency, requires [0]:
that in any execution where the updates stop at
some point (i.e. where there are only finitely many updates), there
must exist some state, such that each session converges to that state
(i.e. all but finitely many operations e in each session [f] see that state).
In this model all other forms of eventual consistency exhibit at least this property of quiescent consistency (and possibly more).

That being said HN was and continues to be one of the most valuable resources for geeks on the net.
I agree.
LLMs are like blackface for dumbfucks: LLMs let the profoundly retarded put on the makeup and airs of the literati so they can parade around self-identifying as if they have a clue.
If you don't like the barbs in this kind of writing prepare for more anodyne corporate slop. Every downvote signals to the algorithm that you prefer mediocrity.

See Liber 777 Col. VII [0], Key Scales 3 through 9 inclusive. Also note that Key Scales 4 through 9 in Col. XCVII, excluding Saturn in old age, correspond to the "Ruach," "soul," "mind," or (one could say) "post-bicameral ego" of man.

Hold on, I dropped my Nobel Prize for lobotomy on the ground somewhere... going to need some help looking for it...
On second thought, maybe it's better off not being found.
ramfs still exists, you know.
To clarify, the CNN article asserts that this is the "first [discovered] evidence" that bees possess this capability, not that bees are the first insect to have ever developed this capacity, as the headline may suggest.
For, on the one hand, there is the real world, and on the other,
a whole system of symbols about that world which we have in our minds.
These are very very useful symbols; all civilization depends on them;
but like all good things they have their disadvantages, and the
principle disadvantage of symbols is that we confuse them with reality,
just as we confuse money with actual wealth; and our names about
ourselves, our ideas of ourselves, our images of ourselves, *with*
ourselves.
Now of course, reality, from a philosopher's point of view, is a
dangerous word. A philosopher will ask me, what do I mean by reality?
Am I talking about the physical world of nature, or am I talking about
a spiritual world, or what?
And to that I have a very simple answer. When we talk about the material
world, that is actually a philosophical concept - so in the same way, if
I say that reality is spiritual, that's also a philosophical concept -
and reality itself is not a concept.
Reality is - [...]
... and we won't give it a name.

Analogously, there is no "software." The MOSFET is all there is. Object-oriented programming is merely an emergent phenomenon thereof.
Words and language refer to sensations (P.I. §244: "How do words refer to sensations?").
Sensations can exist independently of language to refer to them (P.I. §256: "—But suppose I didn’t have any natural expression for the sensation, but only had the sensation?").
Thus it can be possible for one to experience the cogito, the mere act of awareness, independently of language. The point of the cogito is its self-evidence, prior to language even entering the picture as a sign standing for or referring to the self-evident sensation of conscious awareness.
Interesting. What is your response to the cogito?
No? The Wason selection task has shown that logic and reason are not really core nor essential to human cognition.
It's really verging on speculation, but see chapter 2 of Jaynes 1976 - in particular the section on spatialization and the features of consciousness.
> What exactly are people not hearing? Say the quiet part out loud already.
There are no hidden messages here. If you think there are I suggest you seek a licensed psychiatrist.
> It is the fact they can no longer openly shit on women and minorities and homosexuals and trans people that they have issues with.
> The fact that being white and having a white name are not enough to be granted a favorable job.
Shameful. Given the choice between integrity and money, it seems they chose money.
It turned out not to be.
As a visible and ethnic minority I did not encounter such rhetoric growing up in predominantly immigrant socially conservative suburban environments.
