I could be an ant.

nsfw?

Would they equally write ‘mothers’ vs. ‘childless women’ in another article about remote work, I wonder.

That’s all in the linked wikipedia article

I appreciate you spelling some of it out, because I’m just curious and don’t have the background knowledge to really navigate this.

There must be a minimum non-zero amount of energy required for a given quantity of information.

Okay, but I still don’t get how that leads to a standardized measure of energy/mass for a given amount of bytes. That seems to be the premise of the comic.

information has mass independent of its physical representation.

So what is the mass of a byte of ‘pure’ information? And how do you derive it?

The idea is that information must have a physical representation. But I don’t know how that would lead to a standardized mass of a byte.

Paradoxes aside, if you’re given multiple choices without the guarantee that any of them are correct, you can’t assign a chance of picking the right one at random anyway.

Hehe, so nice of you to warn them. I just wish I could mute them in games. It’s so dumb that they always have to announce I’M A DEER.

I know deer can vocalize, but I have never heard it in my many encounters with them. They either stand and stare or just run away. In games you can home in on them by the constant yelping.

Like Apple’s devices, Android phones are most secure when they’ve been freshly rebooted. In this “Before First Unlock” (BFU) state, biometrics and location-based unlocking won’t work. The only way to access the device is to use the passcode or PIN. Additionally, all the data stored on the phone is encrypted in the BFU state, making retrieval and snooping much more difficult, even for law enforcement groups that have access to advanced data recovery tools.

And those are not its thighs.

This phrasing always bothers me a little, because, as even the article quotes a scientist saying: “All colors are made up by the brain.”

Purple is special because it triggers from non-continuous wavelengths of light, not because the subjective experience of purple is an invention of the brain. Being ‘invented’ is something common to all colors. Or sounds. Or tastes.

you can’t trust its explanations as to what it has just done.

I might have had a lucky guess, but this was basically my assumption. You can’t ask LLMs how they work and get an answer coming from an internal understanding of themselves, because they have no ‘internal’ experience.

Unless you make a scanner like the one in the study, non-verbal processing is as much of a black box to their ‘output voice’ as it is to us.

There are lots of typical patterns, but sometimes you get more interesting stuff. Playing with no guessing helps you discover stuff that at first appears random. There’s also a game called Tamesi which takes a different approach and has designed maps that work like puzzles.

Linux is so robust it can absorb ≤ 9 problems created elsewhere.

I also just meant given the size constraints in tiny performance PCs. More friction in tighter spaces means the fans work harder to push air. CPU/GPU fans are positioned closer to the fan grid than on larger cases. And larger cases can even have a bit of insulation to absorb sound better. So, without having experimented with this myself, I would expect a particularly small and particularly powerful (as opposed to efficient) machine to be particularly loud under load. But yes, we’ll have to see.

These little buggers are loud, right?

Cool, but it’s pretty hard to decipher the illustration
