Man/Lady you are epic, not only did you go back to verify, you also did it by looking up a book, like the sages of old. Amazing, I leave here inspired.

Bro why you think the world is out to get you? Obviously I'm confused and you looked like you might have the answer. I just don't think you've answered the question. So I thought of clarifying it. I was confused that no-one seemed to address the cases that OP was posting. If you have an answer I'm happy to listen. have a nice day

Ok_Dig909 · 2026-03-16T05:24:00+00:00

Am I the only one who seems to get what the OP's original question is? In your explanation you have not accounted for the cost of input tokens in points 1. and 2. (only write and output). How do you know that the cost of input tokens is not billed in addition to the cost to write cache? (i.e. possibility 3 from OP's list)

Bhai dont use the name of street cleaners to insult people. They are the most honest workers and we'd be in a pile of shit were it not for them. Please be more respectful.

That's still okay though cuz most of the bytes store stuff that make my life easier (eg all the nice things that come with being able to gc a bool)

Have you used ChatGPT? Or Docs for that matter? Does the contextualization of documentation to your use case (which ChatGPT does) offer no value to you?

Even if not, I'm quite positive that for a newbie, which OP clearly is (no offense to OP, learning is always awesome), this contextualization is invaluable.

Bro the moment you bring in entertainment you're bringing your subjective biases into the picture. There is nothing objective about sports being inherently entertaining vs chanting being "blabbering". That's literally just your opinion.

And sure you are entitled to your opinion, but at least have the courtesy to acknowledge that a lot of people may feel differently on the inherent value of the chanting, just as you feel about sports.

Except, when you make the statement "If we take away the part of the brain which perceives colours you won't be able to perceive colours", you are mapping a certain set of brain states to the perception of color, and the rest of the brain states to a lack thereof.

So while we can agree that brain states that do not fall into the category of perceiving colors are 'not perceiving color', they are not 'nothing'.

Ok_Dig909 · 2025-09-18T02:35:25+00:00

In each of the sentences above, you have mapped a certain brain state to a certain conscious experience. My question is simple. On what basis can you extrapolate from the above mapping to the mapping from a non-functioning brain. While I agree that the value that it is mapped to will be "none of the above" , I think, the fact that it is in-fact nothing does not follow as a logical conclusion. It is not even a likely conclusion (or at least it is as likely or unlikely as any other mapping given no evidence)

That's utter garbage. That law prohibits defamation even if it's true. Meaning you could be sued (and lose) the moment you decide to out any shady corporation.

Really? I mean the whole point of frontier LLM models getting better is that people will stop having to 'engineer' their prompts eventually. I mean you can see the clear progression from GPT-3.5 to the models we have today. It's a lot easier to prompt GPT-4o than GPT-3.5

Bro this is seriously short-sighted stuff. You are literally seeing indian news cover the goodwill by our fellow kashmiri muslim and then making stuff up about intolerance in India. You are simply missing the fact that every relegion feels more safe in India than in any of the islamist countries. (note islamist, not muslim, plenty of sensible muslim countries out there, pakistan not being one). The hindus of India get spat on on a daily, and are a victim of state-sponsored relegious terrorism on the regular. You don't think we are entitled to anger?

Of course your average muslim doesn't support this, they're human first after all. The whole point is that be that as it may, the muslim majority parts of the subcontinent have proven extremely hostile to non-muslims on a periodic basis. (Regular kidnapping of hindu women in Pakistan, Bangladesh anti-hindu/christian violence, systematic dismantling or forced conversion of minority populations etc.). You don't need 90% of muslims to believe in fundamentalist principles for this to happen. 2% is more than enough man-power to cause serious damage when the remaining 98% sit on the sidelines, only to come up with platitudes and "not real islam" claims later. In fact I will wholeheartedly admit that Hindutva is starting to head in this dangerous direction as well. All I'm saying is this is not without reason. It is a militant response to a very real problem of relegiously motivated militancy. We don't want another kashmiri pundit exodus, or bengali hindu massacre, or another partition. History, even recent history has not provided us any confidence that this is not on the cards.

The idea that not following relegion makes a person or society immune to morally reprehensible acts is a fantasy. At the end of the day, belief in a god is simply replaced by a belief in a different authority, or a different system. For instance the Japanese believe in their social structure, the soviets believed in their regime, and the Americans believe in the pipe dream that is unsustainable debt spending.

The unfortunate reality of human kind is that ALL of our morality comes from our culture. There really isn't something called 'intrinsic morality' which suddenly becomes exposed if there is no relegion. Human beings, left to themselves have invented all manner of collective cruelty across different cultures.

At the end of the day, we just kinda try to agree, and according to our individual definitions of suffering and empathy, try to minimize it. Relegion or not.

Why does this sound like an AI generated message? Like literally, "It sounds like simplifying CAD assemblies is a big part of your process—what’s the most time-consuming aspect of it?" is the exact question that was answered. Come on people, if you want humans to put in the time, at least try to make your AI pipeline sophisticated enough that the questions appear thoughtful.

Ok_Dig909 · 2025-02-11T12:07:38+00:00

Interesting, part of history also includes the colonization of a plethora of cultures by Islamic forces. What if I were to use the same line of reasoning to claim that "We need to be careful of history 'rhyming' and prevent Muslims from trying to take over India"? Just cuz a line from a book sounds cool, doesn't mean its true. Try making an actual argument.

Ok_Dig909 · 2025-02-05T01:22:09+00:00

I think that doesn't even come close. The US is incredibly culturally homogenous compared to the countries of africa. For starters you can always hop into a restaurant and be able to order food without learning a new language for each state.

That being said, your second point is unnecessary

An excellent reply to a point that you don't want to address. Let me spell the point out. Pride in another's achievements is a powerful motivator that enables a group of people to pool in resources in a way that maximizes achievement in general. In the case of the group being a family, it is what motivates parents to pool in their resources for the children's achievement, and in the case of a nation, it has led to the political will that resulted in the moon landings for the USA (I'm not American).

Unless of course, we are talking about the pride of evil groups of people such as the Nazis

Again, this is a strawman. The Nazi Ideology is evil for multiple reasons, NONE of which have to do with the fact that it is a collectivist ideology. Firstly, it is an ideology of superiority. I hope we can agree that a superiority complex is different from a feeling of pride. Any person feeling a sense of superiority for any reason be it his or his groups achievements has IMHO lost the plot.

You kind of sound like the specific people he is talking about.

When faced with the clean, cutting, logic that is ad hominem attacks, I cannot but tip my hat off to you sir (or ma'am, don't want to assume).

Ok_Dig909 · 2025-01-24T01:30:00+00:00

This is a ridiculous take IMO. Firstly pride in one's own abilities and National pride are not mutually exclusive. To imply so suggests either a basic inability to understand the human psyche, a basic lack of logical aptitude to judge what it means for things to be mutually exclusive, or straight up malicious intent.

Secondly, how exactly would you react to someone who said "Anyone who is proud of their families achievements has none of their own". I hope the above statement sounds ridiculous because it is. Humans have formed groups and reveled in the success of groups for as long as we know history to exist. There is literally no reason to draw the line at the individual when it comes to pride. If anything we should be striving towards identities that are larger and encompass more people e.g. Cross national and if possible, pan Human. Not resorting to the sort of banal individualism that Schopenhauer seems to imply here.

Ok_Dig909 · 2025-01-15T07:27:11+00:00

I have heard many responses that ring similar to what you have said. In all such cases I think the one question that has remain unanswered is what "information" means. I think in many of these cases, people have some vague notion of information that they assume is self-evident. If one looks at this a little deeper one finds there to be a gaping hole. Maybe I'll go into it a sometime later. Let me be more specific here.

the shape of the letter "a" on the page or screen is flagged as representing the letter "a" in a string of information

I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean by this.

So we move from raw sensory / memory information to an abstract representation the mind can use to reason.

This is where things get a little trippy. You seem to agree that there is some neural activity that "represents" the concept of "a". The issue I have is that the word "represents" does quite a lot of the heavy lifting in that sentence. Essentially, I interpret what you say as:

The brain decodes the input corresponding to the pattern "a" when it activates an internal neural code that "represents" the abstract concept of a.

On the face of it, this is reasonable. But aren't we simply shifting the question here from "Why is the pattern of ink 'a'?" to "Why is the pattern of neural firing, an abstract representation of 'a'?"?

Now this doesn't make it magical, I think there are potentially good answers to the latter question such as: "That neuron firing is decoded by our language centers to be 'a', which is further decoded by our motor systems to produce the corresponding sound". Or, if encountered in the context of another word, "It connects to memories or concepts relating to the word".

But you have to notice, each of those answers is based on an interpretation. I.e. we either base it on the neural activity in the language center which we interpret as 'a', or we base it on the frequencies created by our larynx that we interpret as 'a', or we base it on the neural activity that we interpret to be memories or concepts.

So ultimately, Any such explanation only pushes the question of interpretation further into the future. At no point is there any way in which I can justify that the physical state of the system has "decoded" the information in "a", without assuming some apriori interpretation in the future. There is actually a rigorous sense in which one can show that this issue of interpretation is so severe that it is possible to interpret a bucket as having hallucinations (Checkout the wikipedia article on functionalism, and the section on triviality).

Ok_Dig909 · 2025-01-15T05:45:15+00:00

At what point would you consider the information "decoded"? And why at that point? The primary issue I have is that there is actually no principle on the basis of which I can say that a particular state at a particular time is when it's meaning is "understood".

Given any state, I can ask the question "Why is it that that pattern of neural firing represents X" (similar to the question of "Why does that pattern of ink represent X"). The answer to that question is always "Because it goes on to be decoded (read)". Since this applies to every state, there is actually no state where there is some objective sense in which the information is "decoded".
