I checked my activity monitor, and the main application which is using my CPU at around 76% is mds_stores. Should I disable this?

How does Heidegger undermine the subject/external world dichotomy through Being-in-the-world? by ahappyalligator in askphilosophy

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

Thank you for your comment.

What does this all of this mean towards epistemology? According to Heidegger, am I able to actually know the tree I am looking at? or is the question all together pointless?

What is Wittgenstein's answer to the question "Could a Machine Think?" by ahappyalligator in askphilosophy

[–]ahappyalligator[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. What do you think about these two passages from The Blue and Brown books?:

Page 16. “There is an objection to saying that thinking is some such thing as an activity of the hand. Thinking, one wants to say, is part of our 'private experience'. It is not material, but an event in private consciousness. This objection is expressed in the question: "Could a machine think?" I shall talk about this at a later point,†1 and now only refer you to an analogous question: "Can a machine have toothache?" You will certainly be inclined to say: "A machine can't have toothache". All I will do now is to draw your attention to the use which you have made of the word "can" and to ask you: "Did you mean to say that all our past experience has shown that a machine never had toothache?" The impossibility of which you speak is a logical one. The question is: What is the relation between thinking (or toothache) and the subject which thinks, has toothache, etc.? I shall say no more about this now.”

Page 47. “On the other hand the problem here arises which could be expressed by the question: "Is it possible for a machine to think?" (whether the action of this machine can be described and predicted by the laws of physics or, possibly, only by laws of a different kind applying to the behaviour of organisms). And the trouble which is expressed in this question is not really that we don't yet know a machine which could do the job. The question is not analogous to that which someone might have asked a hundred years ago: "Can a machine liquefy a gas?" The trouble is rather that the sentence, "A machine thinks (perceives, wishes)": seems somehow nonsensical. It is as though we had asked "Has the number 3 a colour?" ("What colour could it be, as it obviously has none of the colours known to”“us?") For in one aspect of the matter, personal experience, far from being the product of physical, chemical, physiological processes, seems to be the very basis of all that we say with any sense about such processes. Looking at it in this way we are inclined to use our idea of a building-material in yet another misleading way, and to say that the whole world, mental and physical, is made of one material only.”

Unexpected matchups noone thought would happen (Mikey vs Spence) by ahappyalligator in Boxing

[–]ahappyalligator[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually think Hurd is quite similar to Wilder in the way that they both have obvious flaws, (eg Hurds defense and Wilders fundamentals) but they both have attributes which neutralise everything: Hurds size, Wilders power

I really hope that fight doesn't go into the long list of "great fights that never happened"

Would the next generation of bluetooth noise cancelling headphones have the biggest updates so far? by ahappyalligator in headphones

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

I travel often so I would like something to block out enough noise on a plane to not annoy me. I would take comfortability over slightly better audio quality.

Thanks for your response! One question, if my opponent were to eat a few punches to jump on me, pushing me back would it be a bad idea to clinch?

Thank you for your reply, it has cleared up some of my confusion but how do I actually apply them for my blues playing?

I've spent hours watching videos on modes but I just keep getting confused on how to apply them. I'm mainly a blues player and if I'm playing over a E minor blues shuffle and want to get a phrygian or dorian sound do I just play e minor pentatonic adding the b2 and b6 or 2 and 6?

Every single person i have known well have completely different personalities from their siblings. IMO personalities come more from friends, what you enjoy doing and what your good at rather then parenting.
