Define "conscious" to arbitrarily include or exclude various depths of perception/cognition. It's like declaring the existence of a "soul" to draw a line between humans and lesser animals. No such line in reali

Reading for intent is pragmatic. Reading adversarially is what people do who are looking for ways that something can be abused, from an offensive or defensive position. Personally I am tired of the entire topic.

Never admit when someone else is right. They'll forget they were right and begin to think they won a fight. Or something. You're right.

The reason being that Open Source is a bunch of people who approach EVERYTHING as a programming problem, and they are chronically allergic to graphics, graphical UIs, and any kind of sense of what user interactions are a good experience. Th

Autodesk should have started their own ECAD from scratch. They have mountains of CAD know-how in house. Their acquisition of EAGLE did nobody any favors. I am not sad to see it go. The only ones I know of who used to use EAGLE were those

I am not trained to be a mechanical engineer. I wanted to explore 3D printing. The usual suspects (FOSS missionaries with a deep-rooted hotly burning hate for capitalism) gave me OpenSCAD, which was okay to dick around with but QUICKLY show

Age has an effect, no matter if it's software or electronics. These types learned their trade once, some decades ago, and keep driving like that. If you want old dogs to learn new tricks, teach them. No company has the money to spend n

Where I studied, they reduced that, at least the workload and class time, in favor of more math and informatics. Definitely no ALU design on the curriculum, no interfacing or busses, very little physics. They don't even put a multimete

North America. It's such a cramped little island, 50 meters is all but crossing it. You should be glad you can even go that far without having to revisit your starting position! 50 meters is probably not even the distance I walk to the

That's a real danger, yes. If it's the reasoning kind, then it'll run through one iteration in the background before it composes its emissions for the meatbag.

Absolutely! I've been wondering for years how to make whatever LLM ask me stuff instead of just filling holes with assumptions and sprinting off. User-configurable agent instructions haven't worked consistently. System prompts m

Maybe if I read more of that site or that author, or I wasn't close to falling asleep, this could have made sense to me. It didn't. The title certainly made me wonder if I was having a stroke. I am now sure I didn't. Feel
