One way of framing this is that people that prefer to solve problems are actually bad at tinkering and writing good code. Hence the existence of terrible codebases written by devs thet “liked to solve problems for the customers”. It is not

I use Deezer - thanks to it I discovered new music that I like. With Spotify if you listened to one Beatles song you got only Beatles recommendations. At least the app is stable and serves the basic purpose of playing music.

In EU we now have a time tracking law mandating companies to track and keep track of their employee’s hours. While one can defend it in a good faith, it is not a stretch to see how it enables and empowers the behavior from this article.

AI is actively being used to build dead internet right now. So many human potential and hours will be squandered by replying to basically spam. Sure, cynics will say that those networks are already spam - but at least you are engaging with

The simplest take is that “white people are not diverse”. So by asking for diverse group means non-white. Predominantly because diversity is _within a dominating white culture with a surplus of non-white people_. It is basically labeling an

If blog can be fully AI generated, why even pretend it's _someone's_? Why not simply make it an AI blog for people that want their knowledge to come from LLM, rather than from experience of other people?

In the modern era of minifying JS to squeeze out bytes, in certain cases, for smaller, non-commercial sites, it might be better for devs to learn from reading each other's source code.

A somewhat sobering post explaining the background behind all this complexity. It is very easy to rant against complexity on its own, but respecting the background that lead to it - that requires nuance, history and a bit more words. That s

That wouldn't work because n-th digit differing from 1st digit of n-th number doesn't guarantee that the new number isn't accounted for already.

Wow, to call psychology, sociology and all studies of human behaviour pseudoscience because free will is not true is really just projection - since free will is not even pseudoscience, it is contradiction, a play on words and an utter nonse

This whole article reeks of "science is BS, we need free will for humans to be real and morally responsible". For all of its smart wording, this amounts to the same old issue Aristotle had with describing the mathematical universe

You mean more or less severe than long-term negative effects of sugar or alchocol? And there is greater stigma for non-drinkers than for drinkers in our societies so go figure...

So it boils down always to moral choices - hence the whole problem is basically a problem of moral systems. Why do you build wind barriers? Same reason for prisons - to prevent future things. As best as you can. Now is that a deterministic,

But then free will requires you to mentally conceptualise future events like "I want to go to cafe" and then translate them into interaction between trillions of neurons, 10 to the power of 29 atoms in that exact non-linear fashio

Suicide is not the answer to the problem - you need to exist and not decide, not deliberate and not think...or you do accept that some thoughts cannot be _prethought_ by you and they come to you for you to control. So why control _those_ th

They aren't predetermined, free will is not the opposite of determinism. You cannot have process interacting with itself in non-random and non-deterministic way. It's a contradiction! I mean, it's basically an infinite regres

Does determinism prevent you? Why _would_ you want or feel like it? And when that happens, how do you control the deliberation process itself? Can you freely choose your deliberations? Why would you choose them exactly like that?

So typical - there is no clear definition, lots of ambiguous terms...People just want to have this free will so much that they always intentionally conflate the terms. It's not happening, free will is the human-life equivalent of squar
