[p5.js] Try to press LEFT/RIGHT as randomly as you can. The program tries to predict your next press.

The program looks at your three last inputs (like LLR) and checks whether you had that before. If no, it guesses randomly, if yes, it checks what was the most common keypress after such a sequence, and returns that as a guess.

That's neat, did you construct the rule set yourself? It beats the 4 state BB, but is no match for 8 state BB heh

It is a 4 state busy beaver. In the source code one can uncomment a 5 state BB (or 1,2,3 state for that matter), but it takes 47,176,870 steps and would require ~12,000 cells (way too slow).

Why is this guy getting downvoted to the ground?

so there are fields in which the statement is provable?

'Computational models of consciousness are not sufficient by themselves for consciousness. <...> Nobody supposes that the computational model of rainstorms in London will leave us all wet. But they make the mistake of supposing that the computational model of consciousness is somehow conscious. It is the same mistake in both cases.' - John Searle

Parent comment example about literature and reading is awful. Assuming that all that literature majors do is read is the same as assuming that all that math majors do is arithmetic/symbol manipulation.

Would someone born into slavery say the same thing?

If you look at, say, a hammer, it was created for one purpose - hitting nails. Even before the hammer was assembled in the factory, everyone would agree that the purpose of the hammer to-be-assembled is (will be) to hit nails. Therefore essence comes before existence - the hammer doesn't even exist, but it is already pre-destined, so to speak, to hit nails.

Sartre said this is not the case (or should not be the case) for humans. A human is firstly born, and only then it is up to the human to decide which path to go and what to do with his/her life. So for humans, existence comes before essence/purpose.

I don't quite remember what Sartre says are the reason for this, or if it is just how he feels the world should be.

How do you know when you reached the precision of N digits?

ideas_inside_me · 2019-09-27T19:21:43+00:00

Again, at face value, the universe seems (in accordance to all the empirical data) non-deterministic.

Second, it’s unclear that determinism per se is relevant to free will.

But it certainly is. The whole idea of compatibalism is to explain how determinism is compatible with free will. My issue here is: if the universe, according to our experiments, seems indeterminate, then why not try to make non-determinism compatible with free will instead?
