I sometimes wonder if compression is a key that can unlock human potential to access higher dimensions of thought.

We talk about the elegance of e=mc2. What we're really talking about is the ability to compress all of the ideas contained in relativity down into such a elegant equation.

The same thing is true for symbolism. We compress enormous amounts of information into a symbol like a crucifix, or in language, the amount of weight a word like Hitler can contain represents a level of compression used to convey meaning which we don't fully understand. Utilizing extreme levels of compression seems to allow the human mind, or perhaps consciousness, to grapple with more difficult and esoteric concepts.

Did they fix the bug where Chrome tries to track you and your behavior wherever you go and whatever you do in the world?

I literally am reading this after setting GitHub actions five minutes ago to generate the APK version of my cross platform project for the first time. Great :\

I'm not seeing how this project is open source exactly. It says license free, but that's just like ChatGPT. I wouldn't call that transparent. Maybe I'm missing something. Google had some difficulty translating the site from German.

Or maybe we just ban celebrities from going to the Louvre, period. If you've decided that you need to be popular so badly that you ruin it for other people when you go to the public places, you should be banned from public places. Be happy with your fame and stay away from us peons. That's what you wanted.

This is sad. I had a couple of one plus phones. I'm developing an app on one right now, and I told my mom to get one. She had it for eight years, and it's still working. Well, this is the final push, I guess, that I needed to get a Pixel and install GrapheneOS.

I agree that when you're building mathematical understanding, you have to do it brick by brick. But the fact of the matter is it's been decades since I did a long division problem by hand. AI lets me jump into areas that I would previously have had to spend a month studying before I could begin building - That's what I mean by it lets me reach farther, faster.

I do feel like I'm offloading thinking to an AI, but I think that's a good thing. I envision a world where users and AI are aligned without corporate interference. AI lets me offload things that I don't need to know and frees up my brain to push farther than I could before. At least that's how it feels to me.

I'm not exactly sure how you would go about grading mathematical proficiency. I went through calculus two and discrete mathematics, but I'm sure that there are things I have forgotten now even though I would be considered familiar with most leading edge AI technology. If I'm being honest, I'm not sure I could pass the final exams I took to get my CS degree right now.

I've heard it said that the Right to Repair bill that Trump signed actually only applies to exhaust systems and the right to repair to meet environmental protection standards. If that's true, then this is pretty meaningless. Does anyone know the truth?

I studied it getting my CS degree - you can literally write mathematical formulas using symbols and you can perform operations in logic. Very different from a philosophy class - excuse me if you were already aware.

I would much rather hear that they were hiring theoretical logicians than philosophers.We could use more people exploring the limits of prepositional and propositional logic and set theory than we need philosophy. AI is never going to become conscious, at least not the kind we have right now.

I don't think that the corporations and the government would allow a cell phone manufacturer or operating system to be developed that wasn't under their control.
