The quantum process IS consciousness. Life animates and extends this as a technology.

Consciousness, the inflection upon the potential of existential being (a feedback loop) or awake awareness? Seems kind of obvious to me, so that the Universe can peer back upon and interact with itself. Apparently, modern popular "scie

Tbh, unless it's well known you don't have to bring it up. Focus on your role. One of my most exciting and most engaging opportunities went under (small multinational company), I often talk of my experiences and contributions, yet

We do, it's called "the military" and it does not preach violence for just any reason, it is the final recourse. Peace is not possible without the capacity for war. If you say otherwise, you deceive yourself and you have lear

I am not a product of academia (though I have spent decades in self studies.) I think of intelligence all the time. In fact, I am pushing the definition, intelligence: the mitigation of uncertainty. If it does not mitigate uncertainty, it i

I disagree with the quote and the general conception of intelligence. The scalar nature of intelligence is more like points on a sphere than a hockey stick graph of good answers. How much area/depth of a sphere can an intelligence cove

Beautiful dream, though reality is yet to be tested. The greatest challenge I foresee is that effective food systems require a great deal of processing. Without an army of regular maintainers the ambition may fall to rot, pests, and incons

We are not alone in alone in our own minds. There is a secret culture, a secret governance, and a secret war upon us all. This has always been among us (one in six of us know exactly what I'm talking about, however you will be punished

Without changing the periodicity of the orbital ecliptic? I am skeptical. We have calendars from ancient civilization which show the periodicity of visible planets, and they have been stable for over a thousand years.

If humanity is to mature, we must be critical and take responsibility for ourselves, particularly when the alignment of others are concerned. Such as starting by disagreeing with everything, and validate for one's own.

Play some games that interest you and model on paper how you think it could (or should) work. As a mature intellectual returning to games later in life, I really enjoy financial and market simulators. OpenTTC, Kenshi, most 4x strategy games

Shit storm, if AI is trained on the moral conjectures of arm chair psychologists and philosophers. Morality is NOT a game of virtues. Morality CANNOT BE DETERMINED by choosing who dies in a runaway railcar scenario. The fundamental a priori

For those who don't know (the article meanders), India is more like Europe than America, until the post colonial era the individual "states" were their own countries... since the beginning of civilization. Thus their languag

I would like to point out this is an interesting distinction between "conscious" awake/aware and "consciousness" the inflection of our existential being. The conscious may through consciousness completely override a

Snakes in the grass. Despise not what you covet in another, for that is hypocrisy. Democracy's greatest failing is that it does not favor self solutions over public rigamarole. China isn't why Americans are ignorant, confused, and

Please, stop. Citing archaic and dead trends to someone who grew up profiting by their unnecessary complexity does you no favors.

Everyone has their "way", find your own. I learned that we should raise our further generations like this: - the highest goal of child-rearing should be to accomplish a self responsible, capable adult. Preferably of good character

I solve these very problems in the API stack. I cannot speak to raw performance at scale if that's you're thing, though I have long since solved the feature logic lifecycle, and it does not (generally) need this. I would use UUID

Very interesting. In the decades I have developed such solutions, I've never heard it referred to as "feature flag." I have always called it "configuration over code". Tbh, the habit for so long now I wonder why con
