  • What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks?

  • The factorio space age dlc. Particularly track 06 from Fulgora.

  • Happy Mothers Day to everyone.

  • My parents were rather strict with the music lessons, which I did sometimes resent at the time. These days I'm grateful as I couldn't imagine not being able to just play the music that's in my head. My parents a little less so, as they have heard "enough Prokofiev for a lifetime", and my polyrhythms make them feel like they have a "heart attack".

  • Valve's Proton 10.0 Beta Released With More Windows Games Now Playable On Linux

  • I have encountered one issue in factorio where large blueprint strings can't be imported in the Linux version. Other than that, the record has been pretty much spotless.

  • The Turing Test, enshrined by the public and media as THE test of machine intelligence, really isn't.

  • I am sceptical of this thought experiment as it seems to imply that what goes on within the human brain is not computable. For reference: every single physical effect that we have thus far discovered can be computed/simulated on a Turing machine.

    The argument itself is also riddled with vagueness and handwaving: it gives no definition of understanding but presumes it as something that has a definite location, and also it may well be possible that taking the time to run the program inevitably causes understanding of Chinese after even the first word returned. Remember: executing these instructions could take billions of years for the presumably immortal human in the room, and we expect the human to be so thorough that they execute each of the trillions of instructions without error.

    Indeed, the Turing test is insufficient to test for intelligence, but the statement that the Chinese room argument tries to support is much, much stronger than that. It essentially argues that computers can't be intelligent at all.

  • Maybe false vacuum decay is happening all the time but we don't notice because it's a form of quantum suicide.

  • Research finds vaccines are not behind the rise in autism. So what is?

  • Turns out the attacker was an Elon fan. Maybe he should resign himself.
