Fencing had been my passion for half of my my life. When moving to another city to study medicine priorities shifted and not having my sports family around meant that for the past 15 years I didnāt really get around to it. After moving back to my home city I gave it another go one year ago. I had a blast. Fencing was fun, meeting some people from back-then felt great but unfortunately I busted my already damaged knee and had to have arthroscopy surgery to fix my medial menisc in may of last year.
Yesterday I finally got off the couch and picked up the old Epee again. It was great and most importantly my not-100%-alright knee doesnāt hurt today! Really looking forward to going again next week :-)!
So uhhh my laptop screen seems to be increasingly shifting towards magenta (especially darker colors)
During white point calibration I had to add a lot of green and itās quite obvious without the profile applied
The other monitor has nowhere near this much change after recalibrationā¦ if any.
I could still check, but whatās the way to tell itās not the calibrator?
As a contrary note to Andreessens depressing remarks: here is a wonderful video-game-themed interview with Felicia Day who is just such a joy to listen toā¦
If you happen to enjoy My Perfect Console Iād like to recommend two other of my episodes: With Dominic Armato who voiced Guybrush Threepwood in Monkey Island 3 and with Jennifer Hale from Mass Effect and many others. Also the one with Jack Thompson, an anti-video game lawyer from back then is worth your time if you so consider.
What āno introspectionā would imply to me is that he thinks heās like a robot or computer that just takes inputs and produces outputs. But even āthinking heās likeā is an act of introspection. No one could be that much of a machine.
If Andreeson is, indeed, a philosophical zombie we do not have an obligation to afford Andreeson any rights/actions which are reserved for human persons (or maybe any persons).
I say we accept the proposition as true, Andreeson is an expert on Andreeson after all.
Reallocate all Andreesonās wealth to itās owner and allow them to auction Andreeson off if/when they need liquidity. There may be a fight over who owns Andreeson, the firm or the family, but we can let the courts figure that one out.
I am curious if chatGPT, or any other retail LLM, claims the capacity for introspection. Unless it spits out something entirely non-sequitur, is that evidence of introspection?
In all seriousness: I assume Andreeson means he chooses not to engage in introspection past immediate responses. He also subscribes to the idea that we only have the memory of a goldfish and our memories are false. So introspection is not able to supply any useful information. Therefore, should not be engage in.
He is just another weirdo who has gobbled up business school pseudo-psychology as a justificatory framework for his own behavior/ greatness. Itās post-hoc rationalization backed by poor science.
He is not talking about being healthy or unhealthy. He compares himself to āall the great men of the pastā, who simply ādidā without thinking. Leave the weak in the dust, strut foward, for progress without mercy!
On the topic of Outlookā¦ Anyone using the old version because the new one feels like a cheap knock-off? I still havenāt gotten over the fact that they removed the manual refresh button, like does it refresh itself so fast that itās not needed or what?
As far as I understand, all their āthinkingā happens in public monologues. Their internal capacity for short term memory is extremely limited, and they seem to require the context if their past thoughts to keep a consistent train of thoughts.
Which is quite unlike (my) human cognition, where the monologue merely seems to be a projection of an underlying train of thought.
On the other hand, my mostly-aphantasic mind does not seem particularly typical, so perhaps I shouldnāt generalize from my own experiences.
