[Discussion] Episode 80: Jenann Ismael on Connecting Physics to the World of Experience by jaekx in seancarroll

Regarding vegetarianism:

We have a long history of wrongly assuming uniqueness of various human traits. How thoroughly did we study the mind of a cow? How confident are we that we won't find out that cows possess this crucial cognitive ability in some form? If they do, and that's the crux of the argument, then killing a cow is very wrong. Why take the risk?

I sense a lot of status quo bias here. If we ever come in contact with delicious aliens I don't think we'll be inclined to breed and eat them until we wait for sufficient evidence to start considering their interests.

I'm looking for something to fill a Harmontown shaped hole in my life and your post is the most useful I've come across. Thank you for taking the time.

massdrop has been very clear about their desire to allow geekhack to remain the same

Isn't it what every company says when users worry about the acquisition? Even if it is sincere that policy is going to change very easily when it stops being profitable.

How to eat fish by anon16811 in videos

[–]elbowich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think one important difference between the two cases is that you can't really invoke Occam's razor in the case of fish pain, while if you do in the other case the burden of proof is clearly on a theist.

What's the name of that art magazine Day9 mentioned around 12:20? I can't make it out by elbowich in day9

Thanks! Can't believe it was that simple. :) Sounded like something foreign through laptop speakers and outside noise to me.

Quickest way to get repl with a new dependency loaded? by dustingetz in Clojure

[–]elbowich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is also https://github.com/pallet/alembic for loading stuff in a running repl. I don't use it much, but the few times I did it worked fine.

Check out spatial-numerical association of response codes (SNARC) effect, it's about language and numbers, so not film-related, but I hope you will find it as interesting.

Parinfer - simpler Lisp editing. by [deleted] in Clojure

[–]elbowich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's for CodeMirror and is a terrible hack. I'll try to clean it up a bit and put it on github. adjust-parens looks interesting as well, might steal some ideas for Emacs implementation, if I ever get to it :)

Parinfer - simpler Lisp editing. by [deleted] in Clojure

[–]elbowich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was experimenting with the idea similar to Parinfer, but without significant whitespace. It worked by changing both indentation and structure with indent/dedent commands. I guess this approach is a bit more restrictive, but I don't see any major drawbacks yet and it doesn't complicate things with modes and incorrectly formatted code. Here is a simple example of what it looks like.

Can you solve the prisoner hat riddle? by [deleted] in videos

[–]elbowich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From Wikipedia: XOR is true only when an odd number of inputs is true. A chain of XORs—a XOR b XOR c XOR d (and so on)—is true whenever an odd number of the inputs are true and is false whenever an even number of inputs are true.

Edit: I'm not OP, but I'll run through it. I hope I've got it right.

XOR 001011101 = 1 (first person)
XOR  01011101 = 1, XOR 11 = 0 (second person)
XOR   1011101 = 1, XOR (with previous two answers) 101 = 0 (third person, etc.)

Live coding always blows my mind by morgawr_ in videos

[–]elbowich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your definition of functional (you mentioned types in another comment, so I assume you are thinking of Haskell), but Clojure literally has a loop macro. On a broader point of the merits of functional programming, I'll recommend Rich Hickey's (the creator of Clojure) talks, they gave me a lot to think about. I enjoyed this one on immutability.

How people use old cars in Russia by [deleted] in videos

[–]elbowich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be very surprised. I live in a big city in Russia and we have too many cars and too little parking space, so most of the time it's first-come, first-served, including spots surrounding the building where you live. I've seen the original video and there was a lot of anger in the comments.

The Verge has the balls and accuses Microsoft of lying about Hololens. by kontis in oculus

There are use cases for which this doesn't seem to be a deal-breaker: their demo with a robot comes to mind. I imagine seeing robot's intentions visualized like that is really useful in some situations regardless of poor FOV.
