Why does this matter? At that point this metric proves his friend isn't sentient rendering his opinion about it irrelevant.

There is a reference counting GC in rust. It's just not default and you have to be explicit about invoking it. It's similar to shared pointers in C++. See Arc. For something like python the heap allocation or stack allocation is h

Not if you use modern python. And by modern python I mean typed python. Heavily typed.

In my opinion it's not pretty ok. It's actually superior to many other languages. I think for web stuff though the borrowing and move semantics is a bit of an overkill. Usually you don't need to thread or handle state in thes

It's not about the fuzzy border. It doesn't matter if the border is fuzzy or not. The point is the border doesn't exist in the first place. You created the border with the vocabulary. The concept itself is not intrinsic to re

If it's not an illusion then you should be able to tell me what it is. Since you can't. I can easily tell you that it's probably just some classification word with no exact meaning. The concept itself doesn't exist. It&#

That's an inaccurate test. You can't know if the answer was real or stochastic parroting. Any attempt at consciousness requires us to define the word. And the word itself may not even represent anything real. We have a feeling for

Its nearly perfect if the sample size is big enough. Barring that it's also the best we can do. There's no better alternative to science so you either believe in the science or you believe something significantly less accurate the

That future is already here. All WebApps abstract state to some external program. Bare in mind this is only for web dev. Many other things outside of web dev cannot abstract state so easily. For example: The person who programs the database

Would it be different if I told you that what I wrote here is based on and confirmed by science? When subject to the rigor of statistical confirmation then what I said is no longer a "perspective". It is a fundamental fact about r

Who knows? You could be right and I could be the one that is totally blind. I propose an experiment to find out just which one of us is actually more delusional. To start off, how would you rate yourself in terms of looks from 1 to 10?

There was a science experiment where they took pessimists and optimists and had them rate themselves from one to ten in terms of looks. Then they had another external group of people rate them based off of the same 1 to 10 scale to get an u

It's different this time. Because this time AI is hugely more popular in the public and corporate sphere. The previous AI winters were more academic winters with few people pushing the envelope. I don't think compute is the issue.
