Do we need scrollbars? What about popping the cell into a tab or overlay like we do with images, Apples 3D Touch I want to drill into specifics, not fiddle with scrollbars, which just hide the data I started with as I scroll. Pop that cell

He’s just polluting the airwaves to keep his voters wound up. A single layer of cloth doesn’t stop it. There’s a reason why those scarfs aren’t allowed in airplanes (well they say that, still see them in use). But it can help reduce the dis

The reason they want us in offices is real property is the root of power. If they don’t own all that land they lose influence locally. They can’t put on spectacle in their “stadium”, distracting us from the reality we reconnected to during

Property owners are human members of society They’re not above participating in solving human problems You want to live in a bubble, go off grid None of us get up and contribute to society to spare anyone else dealing with it’s problems Jus

90% of communication for humans is body language and sensory cues. It’s not hard for me to see how our language faculty convinced past humans we were somehow masters of reality beyond other creatures. Past humans did pass on a lot of dumb i

Yep. Babies can add and subtract when they’re days old. Can they write Shakespeare? If human language is fundamental, how is it missing from the start? Are we learning language or muscle mechanics? Why can a word or phrase mean one thing in

Yes. It’s emergent behavior of a physical universe that has no meaning. It just is. “Meaning to us” is subjective. That’s how we have conflicting theories in many fields. Science isn’t about meaning. It’s about measuring how matter coalesce

Yeah, same experience. We had to write our own “terraform” like tooling to make use of it (retry loops and the like). It has (had? This was a couple years ago) no awareness, for example, of AWS, so out comes the SDK and Go. “Why not just cr

Sure there is more going on than we see on the surface. Before neuroscience and modern imaging we needed to sit and imagine and theorize. Now we don’t.

Religion shows we can create very detailed belief in ornate ideas that are scientifically nonsensical. It’s possible the concepts linguists seek to develop are similarly self reinforcing feedback loops that are meaningless to science. There

I don’t understand how we don’t? I make sound snapping my fingers. Whistling. Why is it so hard to accept mirror neurons fired when early humans heard birds and animals, each other’s grunts and over time we refined it? Everyone has some cap

Agreed. The pattern matching part is easy. That’s what bores me about math. How can it help me reason about reality is the interesting part. For that, one has to really practice these problems and not just hope to get a FAANG gig writing ru

We had to learn to collaborate before “language”. Perhaps thinking language is a key aspect of consciousness is wrong. Chomsky has said human languages themselves are just random sounds we’ve been polishing the meaning of. So yeah I have no

If it’s just stats why do I need Google? I can write code to bubble up stats across text sources in any language. I’m reminded of a behind the scenes video of Batman 1989, where they discuss a complicated layering of Joker makeup to achieve
