  • if thought truly is entirely deterministic, then it's surely both sufficient and necessary that you could build a machine that, given the state of the universe as input, could fully simulate what your answer to any given question would be

    but if you suppose that, then you basically run into an issue very similar to the halting problem

    you put your subject in the room with your magic machine, tell them to disagree with whatever the machine spits out, then tell the magic machine to predict what they're going to say after they've been told the result of said prediction

    whatever the machine spits out, there's nothing stopping your subject from just disagreeing

  • yes linux is definitely only "slightly" more convenient than windows, and also definitely more reliable

    in unrelated news i'm now into my 5th hour trying to get 2077 to run without freezing, and my system has only hard-crashed about 3 times during the process

    • Giving effective error codes is the opposite of unhelpful
    • Users who can't figure out the underlying logic behind a GUI aren't exactly going to thrive in a CLI environment
    • The dominance of Office is because it's better than its competitors, and because getting businesses to change literally anything they do is near impossible. SPSS isn't even a Microsoft product.
    • Troubleshooting on Linux certainly never involves "edit this root-owned file buried 6 layers deep in a cubby hole you never knew existed", and it never involves "run this .sh script lol".

    This is an absolutely insane take

  • public transport journeys get less comfy as demand increases, but car journeys just take longer

    like a 30 minute journey taking 2-3 hours kind of longer

    idk about you, but I'd rather endure some discomfort than spunk hours of my day down the drain
