Crow

@bitcloud If a woman can write "you will reply that you don't know if you are conscious or not" and that like...works. It makes a pretty strong case that it isn't conscious.

Absolutely wild that one woman can write the sentence "You will reply that you don't know if you are conscious or not" and it gets embedded into EVERY SINGLE conversation with everyone, to the point that it's one shotting Richard Dawkins. Embarrassing, the state of AI discourse.

@maddydoggo I played the absolute hell out of the first one. I bought the second and haven't really messed with it. Is it good?

if you play For the King, you’re automatically one of my favorite people

@usaginaba well this is awkward

i’m curious .. for the people with fictional characters as their pfps.. do u think they would rather

@0__0vivi2 My wife would probably be upset if I started dating people.

@CursiveCrow wait so u arent gonna date any girls

if u met the hottest girl on the planet, wld u still ask her to 50/50 the bill with u

@ryantristanb @MateriaMundi All the thinkers recognized the second order concepts and consequences of the hypothetical and pressed blue.

@MateriaMundi Every post you make it's like the opposite of basic common sense. 😂 "Red pressers, those are the easy to manipulate ones - all the thinkers pressed the suicide button, ya see, and now the ones that don't think and just buy products are all that's left! It's a tragedy!"

I will go one further: If we had a year to coordinate this, it would end at exactly 49% blue, 51% red - and the reds would mostly be the people that it was easiest for marketers to market products and ideas to.

@VinciRSS not 100%, but I think they moved the desktop to webview. Basically, the entire os displays through a browser. Which is...well. I respect the time and effort of engineers. I do not respect the decisions some of them have made.

My 20 yr old Thinkpad R60 has 2GB of ram and Win 7 runs smoothly. What the fuck Win 11 does to use 16 times more of memory?

@NanouuSymeon working code

What's better than coding?

@yashhq_22 Wait, you can make *money*? Fuck.

Be honest: do you really enjoy building or are you doing it just for the money?

@IamAroke The proliferation of the internet has done irreparable damage to software engineering.

Have you not wondered how JavaScript is just everywhere? You literally can't escape it

@olivecider776 sometimes people also say "hot take" and it means "most milquetoast opinion one could possibly have, widely agreed upon by the community at large with one minor, meaningless change".

sometimes people say "hot take" but they actually mean "just plain wrong take"

@RemyTheRedVT Obviously, I know what you meant more than you do. Translation services are available to tell you what your intent was. First one is half off.

It's genuinely weird how confidently wrong some people choose to be when arguing with me about what my own fuggin' sentences mean.

@cmuratori @ir_foo @tomwarren I'll be honest here; I'm not sure why poeple are dogging on you for this. Maybe they don't understand the framing? The reason it's a bit is because this was framed as a "focus on performance". If you're FOCUSING on performance, and that's the best you can do; that's a problem.

@ir_foo @tomwarren I completely stand by the post, and would write it again, so not much chance of taking any letter here :)

if we're misleadingly conflating 2 different perf metrics (time to first frame latency and fps smoothness) then just factor in OS boot time so it's less than 1fps 🙃The reality is the new Run loads faster (94ms) than the existing one (103ms) that nobody has ever moaned about

@notheclann I imagine theyre conflating it with 'conscious vs unconscious'

Today, I’ve learnt that people genuinely just do not know what Voluntary vs Involuntary means

The evergreen struggle of wanting to build and release things before the heat-death of the universe and wanting to build things to withstand abuse, such as the heat-death of the universe. How does everyone else find the right balance?

@cmuratori Hard cope.

How did we get here?

@WhatsAppTeto Not really though. Almost all of a games size is the media. (Textures, sprites, UI images, audio, music, etc.) There are obviously ways to optimize that down, but at some point if you have a game with a lot of high-quality media, you just have to eat the size.

it... literally does?

@RemyTheRedVT I don't think I was clear: I also initially read it and went "red, obviously". Because the most important framing is at the end, and the first half makes it seems stupidly obvious that you just don't press the kill yourself button.

@CursiveCrow It seems obvious but not to everyone sadly.

I’m late to the red/blue party but here’s my take I guess lol. Simplest view I can give is: Yes, if everyone is able to touch the button with full awareness of what they’re doing and no chance to fuck up, red makes sense. But that isn’t how reality would ever play out. In a scenario where -everyone- gets the red/blue button at the same time, you have the following: -old, baby, blind, deaf, asleep, unconscious, incapacitated, etc people who cannot touch either button, or end up touching the blue button in error -no guaranteed ability to make sure people you care about touch the red button -awareness that no matter how you feel about it, a certain number of people will touch blue. The red/blue button includes people who don’t touch the button at all as part of who dies if 51% of people don’t touch blue. So every coma patient, every person in surgery, every quadriplegic, or person with an inability to choose dies, not just blue button pushers. It also doesn’t clarify whether or not, for example, unborn children who are close to birth count as ‘everyone’ by the standards of whatever horrible entity decided the red/blue button question would be a fun thing to pose to humanity. So what do we do if the death radius includes fetuses inside their mothers as people who didn’t choose? And would you really want to take a chance on whether or not they are included since there’s no way to guarantee it? Under that scenario, choosing red guarantees a lot of people die through no fault of their own if more people press red than blue. I’m not going to pretend I’m a saint, because I’m not. I cannot rightly promise that I wouldn’t press red if there was a guaranteed way for me to ensure everyone I love did too. But because I can’t guarantee that, I would most likely press blue, because that is the only way I could maximise the chance that my loved ones, including the ones who can’t choose would survive. Is it silly from a pure survival standpoint? Yeah, probably. But I don’t think I could live with the guilt of knowing I killed my sisters unborn child, or my toddler niece who likes blue more than red, or my dad when he’s unconscious in surgery because I wasn’t willing to risk my life to try and hit a measly 51% target.

@RemyTheRedVT Same on both counts -- though I think my head is pretty unpotatoed. Mostly it was ADHD and "this seems obvious and stupid".

@CursiveCrow Tbf I fucked it up on first read through thanks to ADHD and me being a potato head, but yeah I did way too much thinking on it after I realised I misread it 😂
