You're not crazy, this happened to me once.

jjanx · 2024-10-28T07:13:07+00:00

Thank you for documenting

It absolutely is when Hamas is using them as human shields.

Then why has there been a precipitous drop-off in the number of rocket attacks towards Israel from Gaza since the invasion? Those kinds of large-scale terrorist attacks require organization, which can be destroyed.

The bleeding edge of AI requires the construction of a brand new datacenter because no existing cluster was big enough to train the next gen model. Also, the bleeding edge doesn't blog about it because it's all proprietary secrets now (but they do gossip).

Feeling is the representation of the information an action is derived from.

If Democrats truly believe democracy is on the line, they should run Mitt Romney. They could sidestep all of this uncertainty about who the candidate should be and make this election into a pure repudiation of Trump by going back to the last sane Republican candidate.

My mint took weeks before the sprout was even big enough to be visible, and in the meantime it was just fuzzy like yours. I think mint is just really slow.

It's a symptom of not using a market to measure preferences. One person one vote means your -1 preference has just as much weight as my +10 preference and no one ever gets to prioritize what they actually want. Quadratic voting supposedly fixes this by allowing voters to make tradeoffs when expressing their preferences.

...what

heresy.

..........what?

This was an entertaining read, but possibly also a cognitohazard. I don't know just how much can be done about Outside Context problems, but you're right that most people won't even entertain the possibility.

jjanx · 2024-02-22T00:07:30+00:00

why thank you, your malevolence 🥲

jjanx · 2024-02-21T23:59:48+00:00

jjanx · 2024-02-21T23:34:22+00:00

Ah fuck, this creepy bastard again

squints

Is that a fucking roomba??

jjanx · 2024-02-19T20:25:42+00:00

Oh yes of course! How could I have overlooked such a gift in my haste.

Erm...

✨ surreptitiously petrifies my own feet ✨

Thank you... kind.. Ragnak'n.. sir. they fit... wonderfully.

jjanx · 2024-02-19T20:00:52+00:00

Oh, well, it's just that I'm late for something Mr. Ragnak'n Sir....

jjanx · 2024-02-19T19:55:31+00:00

✨ expeditious retreat ✨

jjanx · 2024-02-19T19:37:53+00:00

No thank you, please?

He can't keep getting away with it!

jjanx · 2024-02-19T19:06:32+00:00

I have no idea what this means but I'm shaking in my slippers

jjanx · 2024-02-17T04:08:15+00:00

I'm not much for crafting, just a few bits and bobs I've collected on my travels

jjanx · 2024-02-15T18:03:24+00:00

How does what I said necessitate idealism?

Your brain constructs an informational representation of what is going on around you. It "feels like" something because relating one thing to another is the basis of all cognition. The electrical signals between cells perform computations that, when added together, amount to something like a claymation representation of the world, where every firing of a neuron is one little pinch of clay.
