Looks just like my old fluff did 10 years ago :)

40k breeding forums are usually pretty chill

Or… the whispers were reported by the other party, or detected by an automatic abuse detection system, they paid off his contract because he was suing them for it and they weren’t confident it was a good investment to fight

Well, we knew he was a shitbag beforehand, so that’s not really what’s in question

Yes, with Iosevka font

Being suitable for human consumption doesn’t mean it’s not also suitable for playing a role in a more efficient food chain

Going to almost certainly be less than 1. Moving further up the food chain results in energy losses. Those fish are going to use energy for their own body and such

For sure, which is why I said “another food source would be needed.” I had in mind something like the wild-caught fish being processed into something useful as part of a more efficient food chain, e.g. combined with efficiently-farmed plant material.

Moreover there’s high mortality rates inside of fish farms for fish themselves.

I don’t have any context on the other pros and cons of fish farming, so definitely not arguing whether they’re a net positive or not.

What’s the ROI? If 15% of wild caught fish are used to support fish farms that produce twice as much, it’s not as obviously a bad thing. There’d need to be another food source though.

Would not be surprised if it’s getting confused about a wallet sponsorship

Just wait til you find the 1-1/2" screws

We aren’t trying to establish that neurons are conscious. The thought experiment presupposes that there is a consciousness, something capable of understanding, in the room. But there is no understanding because of the circumstances of the room. This demonstrates that the appearance of understanding cannot confirm the presence of understanding. The thought experiment can’t be formulated without a prior concept of what it means for a human consciousness to understand something, so I’m not sure it makes sense to say a human mind “is a Chinese room.” Anyway, the fact that a human mind can understand anything is established by completely different lines of thought.

Should be a lot easier for modern parents who can easily use online resources to learn

This fails to engage with the thought experiment. The question isn’t if “the room is fluent in Chinese.” It is whether the machine learning model is actually comparable to the person in the room, executing program instructions to turn input into output without ever understanding anything about the input or output.

Hom functors exist for locally small categories, which is just to say that the hom classes are sets. The distinction can be ignored often because local smallness is a trivial consequence of how the category is defined, but it’s not generally true

No but you have 8 boobs like a cat, enjoy

Yup, you’ll notice the only thing distinguishing C from R^(2) is that multiplication. That one definition has extremely broad implications.

For fun, another definition is in terms of 2x2 matrices with real entries. The identity matrix

1 0
0 1

is identified with the real number 1, and the matrix

0 1
-1 0

is identified with i. Given this setup, the normal definitions of matrix addition and multiplication define the complex numbers.

One definition of the complex numbers is the set of tuples (x, y) in R^(2) with the operations of addition: (a,b) + (c,d) = (a+c, b+d) and multiplication: (a,b) * (c,d) = (ac - bd, ad + bc). Then defining i := (0,1) and identifying (x, 0) with the real number x, we can write (a,b) = a + bi.

Somehow this is DrakeNieR

Before I blocked the instance I had nothing but miserable interactions with Hexbear users, and it had nothing to do with political opinions.
