The comparison is somewhat awkward, because the rails example presumably produces a date, while the python one is referring to an interval of time.
Just from the meme it’s not obvious which was the actual intended use, so labeling either as inaccurate requires us to make assumptions.
Personally, the concept of “10 years ago” is a bit nebulous to me. If today is February 29th, is ten years ago March 1st? Doesn’t seem right. Or particularly useful.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I don’t really disagree with anything you laid out here.
I’ll just add that I think we don’t yet have the conceptual frameworks to fully describe (and by extension - understand) the problem in the first place.
Yes, strong emergence seems like magic, as does dualism. But if there is no magic, consciousness feels like the closest thing to it; so who knows?
I can see what points you’re making, but it’s unclear what you’re arguing for. It would be helpful if you made that explicit, too.
My best guess is that you don’t think that consciousness is emergent. What then, do you consider the nature of consciousness to be? Are you perhaps agnostic on the matter?
I agree that strong emergence sounds like magic and I’m therefore highly sceptical of its existence. I find consciousness one of the most intriguing and mysterious phenomena we know of - I don’t really think I understand it to a degree where I can make confident claims about its nature. But dualism sounds like magic too, so weak emergence seems to me the most reasonable and likely mechanism, not least because it’s one we actually observe in reality.
Yup, Reddit fucked us all after we gave them our knowledge for free.
Trick people into thinking they’re contributing to a commons, steal the contributions and run. Very understandable that many people decided to retaliate after the betrayal.
I really hope decentralized knowledge bases take off. Aggregating niche knowledge from experts and non-experts everywhere the internet touches is such a valuable proposition!
I had like one useful comment posted to Reddit. I’ve left it up, and once every few months I get a comment being appreciative for the info.
Reddit gets the traffic because of Google indexing the original post of a user with the problem. People are going to visit it regardless of whether they’ll find the answer or not. In fact, if they don’t find it, they’re more likely to keep browsing posts in the hope of finding something.
Before they knew it, the search had turned into a wild goose chase.
Can only speak for myself, but bookmarks are not at all the thing I want.
There’s more cognitive effort needed when creating a bookmark (not to mention several clicks and key presses) - I need to classify, organize, assign a folder, think about relevant tags.
More importantly: while I expect to need the tab again in the near future, it is likely to be completely useless in a few days. Creating a bookmark for that is going to be wasteful clutter that I need to spend more mental energy cleaning up.
The parent comment expressed incredulity at being able to manage that many tabs. I’m not sure how converting them to bookmarks instead helps. It just seems like I’ll need more clicks to get to my site.
Also, I care about the state saved in my open tabs and don’t want to reload the page every time I visit it. Many websites are built in such a way that loading the URL again doesn’t even restore the same state, and sometimes it doesn’t work at all.
Bookmarks are useful, and I do use them, but they are not a workable replacement for tabs, at least to me.
haha wrong account oops
Thanks for the warm welcome!
Can we have a list of the default blocks (perhaps divided into political vs NSFW)? I have dozens of my own blocks which I had already imported before knowing you added some by default.
Yup.
Hollow Knight basically got me into gaming. I struggled plenty and had to redo sections an unreasonable number of times.
Silksong is faithfully recreating that experience, but with even more stunning visuals (I absolutely have to replay on PC), immersive sound and engaging movement. I also started getting lost almost immediately and had to invest in that most OP of all charms.
For what it’s worth, it sounded like they’re excited to keep adding content and really had to force themselves to stop development just so we could get a release so I think odds are pretty good that we’ll get DLC again.
Aaaand they go longer have an obligation to backers to add hornet, so who knows how much they’ll be able to add, or what other games they decide to work on after.
The future’s looking bright.
