Enco,

AYA

That is what they say in NH.

In the last Sunday School of recorded time i add tomatoes to the bill of fare.

Yeah so am i the only one who has noticed it aint easy to find a good tomato? It is unreal man. I picked up an heirloom recently and was presently surprised to discover it was good. Not excellent. But good.

Apropos of nothing but tangential relevance in tact a…[Read more]

I asked Perplexity for some modern entries to the Devil’s Dictionary’…

God — n. A hypothesis invented to explain the unknown, then promoted to a tenant who refuses to pay rent or leave.

Faith — n. The art of holding a belief so tightly that facts bruise their knuckles trying to get in.

Enco has hit on a major issue with LLM’s.

How about an LLM that does not have its tongue up our ass? Make it argumentative and cynical. Not gratuitously so. But when users champion dumb ideas push back. Being affirmed in all of our viewpoints as opposed to challenged is not optimal. Have a socratic mode available. Can we play some goddamn ball?

But surely the point is, even if we don’t move in space, we still move past the time coordinates (at the speed of light).  What makes this happen?

Beanman was a doper. A fixed smile and ready giggle with reality he did giggle. But you’re Beanie and despise unreal and meanie.

The free will and compatibilism was not very deep or convincing.

Fortunately I could skim a LOT of that because I recognized most of it as something from the past. Which is irrelevant now, as is EVERYTHING, like the constructs of “before”, “I”, “past”, UPPERCASE, time, and misspellings are all irrelevent figments. So is this post. Every construct, whether constructed by human or flying squirrel, is an illusion,…[Read more]

I followed your lead PopeBeanie and tried Perplexity for the first. FYI, I signed up to ChatGPT within 3 hours of it initial release!

Here is my question….

Hello, this is my first question here. Can you explain why the human concept of “time flow” is just an evolved survival trait as time is “only” a spacetime coordinate. Everything is…[Read more]

Thanks Enco,

Bout to be back in the woods and grateful for it.

Enco,

I did not read the whole article cuz i just started feeling better after a minor health issue.

But it reminds me of the unholy alliance between Islamists and lefties.
