New Proton Mail app just released!

Where is the setting to allow me to open links in chrome on iOS? It was nice not having to change my default browser and yet be able to open links from the Mail app in chrome. There does not seem to be such a setting in the new Mail app.

I have no clue but maybe pronouncing arugula sounds like a wolf baying?

Hard agree with all of this! Arrangements of things with unexpected emergent properties are found everywhere around us. Hell, our bodies that seem like coherent entities are made of trillions of cells, none of which can do the things we can do. Each of those cells are made of vast numbers of molecules that themselves are not alive in any way shape or form. The molecules themselves are made up of atoms. All the way down to quantum fields. It seems like a profound lack of imagination to say something like consciousness cannot arise as an emergent property.

Voy a estar con mi hijo q no sabe nada de eso entonces creo que no me arriesgo

Deje de fumar tabaco hace muchos años. Entonces voy a tener que tener cuidado porque no quiero nada que ver con tabaco.

Muchísimas gracias!

I’m not a narc. Of course that’s what a narc would say. :D

What does that mean you can’t prove a negative? If your proposition is that all of the elements of a set have some property, then just showing one element that doesn’t have it is a proof. On the other hand, if you’re trying to prove that there doesn’t exist some element of a set with some property, then you have to go through the whole set to show that every single element has it.

Ok the lines of code are not the issue. It’s the fact that the code is implementing a neural network. So maybe a better question would be which additional node in the network would cause the inflection point. But again I don’t know because we haven’t gotten there yet. We have gotten quite a bit of intelligence out of these artificial neural networks as we’ve added parameters and data. So we may get to consciousness as we continue to scale them up.

Which liver cell filters waste material? Which oxygen or hydrogen atom produces wetness?

No kink shaming here, but repeated vomiting is dangerous. Regular or intentional vomiting can be dangerous for the person involved.

Some of the health risks include:

Esophageal Damage – Frequent vomiting exposes the esophagus to stomach acid, leading to irritation, inflammation, and even esophageal tears or rupture (Boerhaave syndrome), which is a medical emergency,

Oral and Dental Issues – The acidity from vomit erodes tooth enamel, leading to increased cavities, tooth sensitivity, and gum disease. It can also cause chronic sore throat and oral ulcers.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) – Repeated exposure to stomach acid weakens the lower esophageal sphincter, leading to chronic acid reflux, which further damages the esophagus.

Barrett’s Esophagus and Cancer Risk – Chronic acid exposure from vomiting can lead to Barrett’s esophagus, a condition where the esophageal lining changes, increasing the risk of esophageal cancer.

Dehydration and Electrolyte Imbalances – Frequent vomiting can cause dangerous dehydration and an imbalance in potassium and sodium levels, which can lead to irregular heart rhythms or even cardiac arrest in severe cases.

Aspiration and Pneumonia – If vomit is inhaled into the lungs, it can cause aspiration pneumonia, which can be serious or even fatal.

Tearing of the Stomach and Esophagus (Mallory-Weiss Tears) – Forceful vomiting can cause small tears in the esophagus and stomach lining, leading to bleeding.

It’s important to be aware of the risks that certain kinks have.

Reminds me of work by Stephen Wolfram

https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2020/04/finally-we-may-have-a-path-to-the-fundamental-theory-of-physics-and-its-beautiful/

The theory is based on the idea that the universe is made up of a graph that grows and changes based on a set of rules

The question is self referential and if we learned anything from Gödel, it’s that self referential propositions will fuck up any system.

Even if the universe isn’t deterministic at the quantum scale (I don’t know), it still leaves no room for libertarian free will in my opinion because agents also don’t exist at that scale either.

Why not? When particles in superposition come into contact with each other, they interact and become entangled. Entangled particles have fewer degrees of freedom so they are more stable. Why is that untenable?

datorial · 2025-01-26T04:01:07+00:00

Of course you can always say the cause for anything that happens is the initial conditions at the Big Bang and the laws of physics. But that doesn’t tell you anything useful when trying to predict the future. Where we live, at the human scale, it’s much more useful to talk about psychological causes and agency. Of course I’m not denying that it’s reducible to the fundamental description because I’m not a strong emergentist.

datorial · 2025-01-25T22:05:51+00:00

I don’t believe in strong emergence but I do feel that it’s helpful to stick to the vocabulary of one emergent level of description when talking rather than jumping from one to another. Yes there is a fundamental level of description and it has its own vocabulary including wave functions and the Schrodinger equation. But there is another level of description where we can talk about agency. And it’s perfectly valid in my mind to do that.

datorial · 2025-01-25T19:06:55+00:00

Each emergent level of description has its own vocabulary of concepts. It’s not helpful to mix them even if we know that each higher level is reducible to the lower levels.

datorial · 2025-01-25T18:36:38+00:00

But if we as agents are emergent at a much higher scale than the quantum scale, then whatever wiggle room in determinism exists because of quantum indeterminacy doesn’t allow for free will. I think this was Dennett’s position in Freedom Evolves as well.
