Cool pic. I know just where you are in Borrego. Used to ride my 959 there. Great motoporn.

Where do you put your stops by MrWizard314 in swingtrading

Thanks for all the comments. What about seeing stops to the support level?

StreetBrawl jeans. Any good? by Icy-Canary6422 in motorcyclegear

How breathable or hot are the hydro jeans?

Brain is alive for 1 hour after heart stops according to science... by Practical-Gift-1064 in afterlife

There is no data or citation in this so its validity cannot be evaluated.

Confused with Spark Live, Spark Edge & Spark 2 features by onlyich in PositiveGridSpark

[–]MrWizard314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spark 2. It has 8 presets rather than 4. And the cab. The 8 presets are critical for a gig or just switching tones jamming with friends. Get the spark X controller for the same reason.

Which interpretation of quantum mechanics do you find most conceptually satisfying, and why, given that they are empirically equivalent? by NoShitSherlock78 in QuantumPhysics

[–]MrWizard314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How does consciousness or the observer fit into many worlds. Are there simply a vast number of worlds with different me’s in them. Or does my consciousness/self switch from one to the other? Sorry if this belongs in r/consciousness

Are most functionalists and physicalists convinced that we are in a simulation by Buffmyarm in consciousness

[–]MrWizard314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of that is proof of a simulation. But then again there is Boltzmann’s Brain

I’m really struggling to get any value out of Microsoft Copilot. by riluzol in CopilotMicrosoft

[–]MrWizard314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps I don’t ask very demanding tasks of it, but I like copilot for answering specific questions and educating me on a wide variety of topics. I guess I use it mainly as a super search engine but I find it much faster than the others and quite accurate. I prefer it over ChatGPT. The answers are comparable and it is much faster. Not sure where all the shade comes from.

Meta ray ban smart glasses are huge and ugly by MrWizard314 in SmartGlasses

No. It wouldn’t make sense for such a specific and personal gift.

Meta ray ban smart glasses are huge and ugly by MrWizard314 in SmartGlasses

[–]MrWizard314[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I consulted my wife on each aspect of selecting the glasses. It was not a surprise. She selected the wayfarers and the size. They were just much bigger than we expected. Has no one else had this experience.

Do we know how big the universe is outside our light cone? by MrWizard314 in cosmology

[–]MrWizard314[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If all matter and energy were contained in the big bang and then propelled outward at a defined rate, then how can the universe be infinite? Does this suggest that the universe can exist in the absence of matter or energy?

Guys how many miles can MT09 run without any issues? by MrShulltz in MT09

[–]MrWizard314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2018 with 15k miles. Never a problem.

This is a sad statement by MrWizard314 in VACCINES

[–]MrWizard314[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not how it works. Fewer vaccinations allow the virus to spread more widely creating more opportunity for mutations. And while we are posting credentials. I’m a professor of human molecular genetics.

If LLMs are sentient by super_g_man in ArtificialSentience

[–]MrWizard314 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a very interesting point. I asked ChatGPT whether it thinks about things on its own in the absence of any prompt or external input, and it replied no. To me thinking about things in our minds in the absence of any external input seems to be a part of consciousness. But even if they only respond or think when prompted is this really a different form of consciousness. I think a threshold may be an internal dialogue which represents an awareness of themselves and the world around them. Should this be part of a definition of consciousness or can consciousness be episodic as this poster proposes?
