what a dumb way to redefine winning... if your rival loses more than you means you have won.

they act as if with that assumption, but in fact what really happens is everyone loses. it's a lose-lose scenario

the most often overlooked aspect of "the present" is that it has a size or length.

so the "present" may be a second, zero seconds (with lots of math), or even 1000 years.

until trees with their wood laid waste to this balance?

at least until fungi figured hoe to break lingin?

that whole nanomachines sci fi, e.g. nanobots making grey goo or whatever is not as exciting if you consider cells are alreay microbits made out of protein nanobots

I've found that I have gotten better at this as I've gotten older. it does get easier.

yes, I think it happens so you (we) can go hunting or harvesting or something, I can usually refocus that into cooking

which means it also ends (stops) there

the issue comes down to the possibility of programming a mobile smartphone using only mobile smartphones (in contrast with PCs)

I see this as a consequence of the overarching ideology of markets and capitalism standing in the way of humans exploiting the full potential of digital and internet technologies.

at this point this is a social problem to be solved politically

I wouldn't think that 3 months is enough time to decide if success has been reached

what I don't like about this (in general) is that it's part of the overruling ideology that will turn the internet from a place where you can look up how to make any recipe for free into a place where you have pay somebody a monthly fee to look up how much sugar per cup of flour goes in some dish (to put an example)

of course, this is not exclusive to this project in particular, but it's a crummy trend that just keeps getting worse. and this project is part of this wave.

the trick is to cook about one and a half servings everytime. this way you eat one serving, store the half and heat up a previously stored side dish (previously remaining half serving)

> we lose “I am a unique, distinct entity.

I agree with this sentiment. quantum mechanics (stemming out of statistics mechanics) start from regarding all particles as indistinguishable.

IMO, this theory is more mathematics than it is physics.

Given a wide enough application, humans end up ourselves as particles, essentially we are commoditifiying our individuality.
