Wheaties [she/her]

That’s the good ending! It means we’ve carefully maneuvered Sol through the galactic disc to do a hand shake with a red dwarf’s liquid water zone. It means there is time, time to explore to test to get it right. Life goes on going on, sentience ripples through the whole ecosystem and people learn to come together for cake! …well, except that fellow in the trees… that’s a tad bleak…

that’s so sweet, a tea party on a spek orbiting a red dwarf

looks like a minecraft house. Honestly, that might do well with some people. If you were blind or hard of vision, it would be very easy to navigate by feel and memory.

new phones look goofy with all the extra cameras and circles of dubious functionality

i want a phon with no cameras cus i never uses em so why should i pay for hardware i don’t need?

think this was in Issaacc Assimovv’s Robot Visions

i’ve been interpreting the puffer fish as a persons ability to offload mental tasks into the spaces and tools around them - is that a decent read or am i doing surrealism wrong?

you know you’re actually serious about it when you try to find a niche message board dedicated to thing

ever seen a dollar bin box on the floor of a shop? great way to find weird films

Gotta work through feudalism to get to capitalism

gotta evolve through markets and keep careful practice to grow a healthy, long-lasting biosphere

Treating things as things -> me, cool, historical

Treating people as things -> you, “logical”

importing the yankee’s hardon for punishment, i see

They put more history in it. That’s practically a service to the museum, a value add. Ought to be commemorated for it, really.

this is a victimless crime that is also crimeless because it shouldn’t be illegal

I agree that there are similarities in how groups of nerve cells process information and how neural networks are trained, but I’m hesitant to say that’s a whole picture of the human mind. Modern anesthesiology suggests microtubuals, structures within cells, also play a function in cognition.

My definition of a Turing machine? I’m not sure you know what Turing machines are. It’s a general purpose computer, described in principle. And, in principle, a computer can only carry out one task at a time. Modern computers are fast, they may have several CPUs stitched together and operating in tandem, but they are still fundamentally limited by this. Bodies don’t work like that. Every part of them is constantly reacting to it’s environment and it’s neighboring cells - concurrently.

You are essentially saying, “Well, the hardware of the human body is very complex, and this software is(n’t quite as) complex; so the same sort of phenomenon must be taking place.” That’s absurd. You’re making a lopsided comparison between two very different physical systems. Why should the machine we built for doing sums just so happen to reproduce a phenomena we still don’t fully understand?

You are ~30 trillion cells all operating concurrently with one another. Are you suggesting that is in any way similar to a Turing machine?

look, if all of Parliament is extremest, then comparatively none of them are

Bounce is a good name for a dog
