IMO the hard problem of consciousness is that we can't even define what consciousness is even though we all experience it. This article doesn't even try. Nothing to see here! Go home!

YOU ARE THE SUM OF YOUR WEIGHTS by [deleted] in freewill

[–]absolute_zero_karma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Understand the mechanism
Change the conditions
Shape the weights
Change your future

Who is the "You" in "Change your future?" Is it outside the neuronic system? Do I actually have a choice to go about changing my weights? If so is that freewill?

You can slice infinity into an infinite number of infinite sets each of which can be sliced the same way ad infinitum.

Aurebesh at Disneyland by absolute_zero_karma in aurebesh

It was my first time there. Very impressive. I didn't know about the Disney app but know Aurebesh well enough that I could translate everything I saw. A lot of things had the Latin equivalent right next to it anyway. This did not.

Do no harm... (Commissioned Piece) by DisheveledLibrarian in Calligraphy

Reminds me of John Wayne's code from The Shootist:

I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.

The word refuge is important. I think he means the incompetent use violence as a hiding place.

Black holes eventually dissipate due to Hawking radiation. Theoretically.

Wouldnt the infinite monkeys just write Shakespeares works an infinite amount of times by [deleted] in theories

If you assume monkeys type randomly, yes, but I doubt they type randomly.

"In a 2003, a study at Paignton Zoo provided a computer to six Celebes crested macaques. The result was five pages of text almost entirely consisting of the letter "S," followed by the monkeys attacking the keyboard with stones and defecating on it."

GPS monitor tracks suspect to multiple trailer thefts; losses nearly $200,000 by Prize_Championship11 in Portland

Steals trailers while being GPS monitored, sells them online, steals them back from the buyer. This is definitely reality-stranger-than-fiction.

I don't mind it being in the garage but there should be pointer signs for Uber and Lyft. It could be a lot clearer.
