bddb is my favorite word to pronounce

On the internet, they are everyone, and they are no one.

Not if you’re considering security gained versus difficulty of remembering.

character N gives you information about the character at position N+1

There is no point in a password cracking attempt during which the attacker knows the character at N but not the character at N+1

Only if I can vote for sandwiches not falling apart when I eat them

It can’t fail in javascript ways that require specific sequences of code to be written, if those sequences of code aren’t in the range of output of the Typescript compiler.

Just use javascript and don’t try to add {} to [].

Bitches love ethical abstraction

This is called “running a train on her”

You’re doing it again

No I mean my ears are literally just spontaneously developing into elf ears

The term “mean free path” sounds a lot like an average to me, implying an distribution which extends beyond that number.

Correct

Analog signals can only be “perfectly” reproduced up to a specific target frequency. Given the actual signal is composed of infinite frequencies, you needs twice infinite sampling frequency to completely reproduce it.

I’d say the details matter, based on the PEAR laboratory’s findings that consciousness can affect the outcomes of chaotic systems.

Perhaps the reason evolution selected for enormous brains is that’s the minimum necessary complexity to get a system chaotic enough to be sensitive to and hence swayed by conscious will.

Unfortunately the physics underlying brain function are chaotic systems, meaning infinite (or “maximum”) precision is required to ensure two systems evolve to the same later states.

That level of precision cannot be achieved in measuring the state, without altering the state into something unknown after the moment of measurement.

Nothing quantum is necessary for this inability to determine state. Consider the problem of trying to map out where the eight ball is on a pool table, but you can’t see the eight ball. All you can do is throw other balls at it and observe how their velocities change. Now imagine you can’t see those balls either, because the sensing mechanism you’re using is composed of balls of equal or greater size.

Unsolvable problem. Like a box trying to contain itself.

We make a giant theme park where people can interact with androids. Then we make a practically infinite number of copies of this theme park. We put androids in the copies and keep providing feedback to alter their behavior until they behave exactly like the people in the theme park.

Physical reality exists inside consciousness. Consciousness is the thing that can be directly observed.

That seems like a lot of wasted energy, to produce that illusion. Doesn’t nature select out wasteful designs ruthlessly?
