No of course not, because its a teddy bear!

At best this is redefining "consciousness" to mean something only tangentially related.

If I understand the central argument, which is confusingly stated, the claim is that "consciousness" is a socially-determined, subjective, descriptor for certain things that one cares about. How does this make any sense? If I care about my teddy bear enough it'll gain consciousness?

It might be nice if you could unlock a "hard mode" or ability to the first 1-3 levels after a first run. I scored a little over 81K and considered playing again because I like quizzes, but doing another batch of (to me) easy words seemed like a waste.

Also early internet access was gated by institutions. Most people were using their work or school internet access to be online, and so behavior was naturally more controlled. When I was first online (circa 1990), I could have been "kicked off the internet" by my college's IT department.

And the difficulties of trash handling are further traceable, at least in Manhattan, to the decision by city planners in 1811 to not build alleys. No obvious place to store trash, nor an obvious place to put it when being collected.

If you drive in Manhattan you'll also notice a whole lot of delivery trucks and other vehicles blocking lanes, and a lot of designated delivery-only parking zones. This is rooted in the same lack of alleys.

I haven't looked at it much in a while, but this looks mainly like a frontend to a limited number of public data sources. Most of the value of the terminal (imho) is in the data and the chat. The data side in particular requires just a lot of ongoing operational support that an open source project isn't going to be able to provide.

> "Obviously, I didn’t clone the full Bloomberg Terminal — I built the subset I needed for Polymarket analysis. But here’s the thing: cloning the full terminal would probably take a day or two of token usage. Not months. Not years. Days."

I have some experience with the Bloomberg Terminal and this was laugh out loud funny to me. This is like someone saying that they vibe-coded a rudimentary text editor with a spell checker, because that's all they really use, and that they would be therefore be able to pop out Microsoft Office 365 (or whatever its called now) in a couple more days.

Weirdly enough my entry "the true name of god which is imbued with the power of all other words combined and multiplied and also it has a laser on its head" consistently gets text that implies its the winner, but loses. e.g.

the true name of god which is imbued with the power of all other words combined and multiplied and also it has a laser on its head vs Truth

Winner: Truth

The second player's word is overwhelmingly powerful and encompasses not only the concept of truth but also an added fantastical element, making it superior in this battle.

The article is specifically arguing against using "auth" or "authn/authz"

An even simpler option to get the data, at least in firefox, is to open the console, enter `window._Flourish_data` then right-click the result and select "Copy Object" which will put the json in your paste buffer and you can then paste it into a file.
