It looks like the AI was right, he really did die dof rabies.

Well, it's telling the truth.

*natively. You can run flash through ruffle in any of the modern browsers.

you don't even have to, you can do a single GPU passthrough to VM and integrate it seamlessly.

Ehh, but on Linux nowadays it's whichever gen, plus modding, multiple frontends and storefronts.

It's less about "checking your email" and more about ' it's an open system and you can do with it what you want", in whichever domain.

As I've mentioned somewhere else already and you pointed out; the issue is that consciousness is a loose term and and it's a semantical issue that should be resolved first. It won't be, because the murkiness is beneficial to the corpus, amongst other things. And to your point about the appearance of "consciousness" being enough imho Chiang explains fairly well why it's not.

This is probably a semantic issue seeing as we don't have a widely agreed definition of it. I like to think about it in terms of self-reflective, subjective experience. I'm not even sure if emotions would be a requirement and was surprised to see Chiang so hung up on them. Would he consider humans which can have a variety of mental disorders, causing a complete lack of some of them to not poses consciousness?

Is there even an agreed and actionable definition of consciousness? I'm worried that if such a thing existed some humans would fail to measure up.

The same thing jumped at me immediately. He should have prefaced this with his definition of consciousness. Moreover the embodiment of LLMs is already happening via robotics, and virtually. Then there's the common counter "but humans are a next word prediction machines too.." (ofc we're more than this, but linguistically we are, and that's the field from which LLMs originate) which is rarely addressed.

Yup, people tend to focus on the upgradability aspect and totally miss the repairability one. My own story is as follows: my panther had an ASUS laptop and extrapolating from previous experiences expected the laptop to function on AC when the battery dies. NO SUCH LUCK! Since it's a hybrid usb-c powered hardware it needed a battery to power up. The process of replacement was so tedious and expensive that we decided to buy the Framework instead. Fool me once...

The whole suite of Affinity apps is now free (after Canva bought them). For a hobbyist there was never a better time.

The valuation of The QT company is currently half billion $. That should probably answer your question regarding Qt.

is ladybird embeddable?

adding to this Dioxus is working on its native flavour which uses some of the same components Servo uses (check Blitz)
