TBH I never thought to even call the speech processing in my a head a "little voice" until someone accused me of not having an inner monologue. I don't perceive it as audio at all unless I put effort into it. Meanwhile music

Only in languages that have morphemes! This is hardly a universal attribute of language so much as an attribute of those that use an alphabet to encode sounds. It makes more sense to just bypass the encoding and directly consider the speech

In the sense they're used as English prefixes, paleo is many orders of magnitude older than archeo. Hence words like "paleoarchaeology", which starts around 10kya.

I smell Penrose bullshit in the air Of course the brain uses quantum mechanics, it exists in the real world. What has yet to be demonstrated is any link to consciousness.

Archeocomputation is better imo. "Paleo-" typically implies geological timescales rather than decades.

Performant 3d acceleration in the guest OS is still quite difficult to find an open source solution for, and linux these days relies heavily on this for window management. Mac hosts at least have ParavirtualizedGraphics, even though I don&#

I just found the mention of the state confusing because surely this app is equally untrustworthy regardless of its origin. American companies can't be trusted either—they've long since indicated a willingness to work with law enfo

People have been promising this for well over a decade now but the bottleneck is the same as it was before: the voice assistants can't access most functionality users want to use. We don't even have basic text editing yet. The ton
