The agent will happily fix that for them. They are through like that.

But what would we consider conscious? My position is that there is no actual, definitive answer to that question, and therefore it makes no sense engaging with the concept.

I can make an AI system with a survival instinct right now. Of course, all that will do is make people tell me “it’s not a proper survival instinct” or move the goal posts and tell…

That’s fair. I’ll delete.

You can’t forget to take class W mnestics. Not unless someone prevents you from taking them.

All the stores I can get to within a reasonable time period stock ISO keyboards instead of ANSI, and I've never really warmed up to those. So I'm stuck with next-day even for macs.…

As an aside, I have never seen a decent license for user generated content. Either they expose the platform to serious liability, or they come across as incredibly predatory.

Wait, what's the story of the sailboat trip? My searches are coming up empty, but it sounds like a great story.

You generally enroll a passkey for a single device or connected group of devices. My icloud-syncing devices has a passkey. My windows laptop has another. My desktop has yet another…

Plagiarism is not a legal thing. Copyright infringement is, but that’s a different beast.

It diverges more from x86 than I would have expected!

I have a Mastercard branded card issued by the Dutch quasi-monopolist (ICS). Every time I have a transaction with a merchant with ties to NL, they force me to do 2FA using their cr…

The MIT license is two paragraphs long. The GPL is little more than a page, plus a very informative preamble. Don’t take anyone’s word for what they say or which is better. Read th…

If only there were a whole field of study dedicated to this, and you could hire experts to run studies for you…

And as long as the thing you are polling is about 50:50. It’s hard to poll more skewed things, and you need larger sample sizes.
