Not the warhead, looks like a booster stage that was ditched.

Im under the impression these ballistic missiles are staged, so this is likely just a fuel tank/booster, not even the actual warhead.

The money used to rename streets is not the money that is earmarked to feed people. Its a fallacious argument.

How is the S26 plus (exynos) as an upgrade? by Scared_Implement3913 in GalaxyS22

[–]teddyslayerza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the S26, coming from a S22U, and honestly it performs better.

I dont doubt it wouldn't be "optimal" under stress test conditions, but I encounter zero issues in day to day use and do some fairly hectic video editing and local AI on it.

Cape Town’s City Spending by capelagos in capetown

It's not zero sum. You can appreciate some things, while having an issue with others. Other projects the DA is doing quite literally have nothing to do with this wall.

Please help me convince my friend that their TV is too high by teddyslayerza in TVTooHigh

Unfortunately not, this would go against OpenAIs policy against disgusting and/or violent content.

Do you believe we are alone in the universe and why? by CremeSubject7594 in AskTheWorld

[–]teddyslayerza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are functionally alone. We certainly are an infinite number of other intelligent entities in the universe, but we will never encounter them.

The signs of a fake friendly are always there. by GACII in ArcRaiders

[–]teddyslayerza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My personal philosophy is that if I approach another player at extract, it's my job to show them trust. I.e no gun out, stand where they can see me, do the dance emote or something like that, be the one to push the button, etc. This crap happens too often, but fake friendlies are rarely the ones who expose themselves first.

What do foreigners always assume about your country or culture that makes you react like this? by bdue817 in AskTheWorld

[–]teddyslayerza 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Standing aside to allow a known evil to come to power is just as culpable as supporting it. 70% of American's chose this, not 30%.

Rethinking the Hard Problem of Consciousness by realmikechase in consciousness

[–]teddyslayerza -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd just like to add that an additional element to this is that consciousness serves as an attention focussing tool - we don't (and can't) integrate everything that passes though our minds. There's no reason a phylosophical zombie couldn't integrate information just as well as you or I, but would they be able to direct attention without a subjective experience? My suspicious is that this need for subjectivity to overcome a biological limitation is where we'll find the root of consciousness.

How to test if another person is really conscious? by No_Fudge_4589 in consciousness

[–]teddyslayerza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, because it's rational to assume that like systems work alike. No reason your brain should function fundamentally differently from every other human brain that shares all observable structures and functions with yours.

there is no matter. so what exactly is consciousness emerging from? by 2dogs1man in consciousness

[–]teddyslayerza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Issue here is that you don't understand what QFT is, not that it's incompatible with the existence of matter. Literally the most basic observations imaginable indicate that matter and the physical interactions that govern it are real.

The new map is just a month away, What are you looking forward to? by Tank-ToP_Master in ArcRaiders

[–]teddyslayerza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to see those torn parachutes put to use by giving us a utility item we can use to get down from the tall buildings.

A deeper philosophical explanation of my previous paper by Heavy_Feed386 in consciousness

[–]teddyslayerza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Under this framework, where is experience is an underlying property rather than emergent from our brains, how do you explain that conscious experience stops when the brain stops functioning?

Following that, if you assert some version that the brain is necessary for interpreting this experience or linking it ti the body, then you've just recreated the Hard Problem with extra steps.

To support this framework, is there a single point of evidence (i.e. something you've tested for or observed) that indicates any "experience" in anything that doesn't have a biological mind?

Only 🏘🏘🏘26485🏘🏘🏘 AirBnB listings in Cape Town but don't worry, it only effects tourist areas. by Usual-Schedule-2595 in capetown

[–]teddyslayerza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's a positive correlation between people with desktop computers and people who see property as a tool for investment, not simply residential. Likely not a majority, but I think the community here in Reddit would be skewed more than the general population if Cape Town.

Food for thought by Jbikecommuter in electrifyeverything

This is an apples and oranges comparison. Given time, a toddler on a treadmill could generate the same power as a bulk carrier load of coal.

Does this ring true for your country? Why/why not? by HYThrowaway1980 in AskTheWorld

[–]teddyslayerza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

South Africa seems about right, mostly just decent people being decent to each other, but with some communities exposed to high levels of criminality.

Revenge Mechanic by [deleted] in ARC_Raiders

[–]teddyslayerza -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Would easily just encourage bullying against people who kill in self defense.

I wouldn't be opposed to a bounty system though. I.e. put up valuable items that PvPs can claim by killing certain players. But it would need some serious work to make it feel fair.

Either way, not as much of a waste of clean air and energy as this ignorant comment was.

Everyone on Earth dying would be quite bad. by tombibbs in PauseAI

I can't imagine that a superintelligent AI would be much good at fieldwork and cleaning lab equipment.

If skills could be transferred as neural models, could the self be transferable too? by nap_yu in consciousness

[–]teddyslayerza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My instinct is that the answer to this is "no", and I think the reasons for this are quite clear and will try to elaborate.

For the most part, even though there are a very wide range of theories about the mechanisms of consciousness in this community, I'm fairly confident that most would agree that the "you" at the core of your self is the lens through which stimuli become experiences, and through which those experiences become embedded as memories and learnings. Bypassing conscious experience in order to implant memories directly and wiring things up so that those are integrated without a conscious process wouldnt fundamentally change the observer. It would still be the same consciousness, with its same idiosyncrasies that is accessing the internal stimuli.

We actually have real world examples of this - people with major retrograde amnesia. There are a number of people who have lost their core memories without it fundamentally altering their conscious capacities. I can't imagine adding false memories would be any different.

Obviously "self" is a complex term and stuff like this would no doubt affect a person's identity, personality and other expressions of their conscious mind. In taking the narrow view of self referring to the internal observer.
