The theory you’re discussing is called eliminative materialism (or illusionism) and it’s detailed in the link I sent you, along with a host of other metaphysical theories. Like every other theory eliminative materialism has significant issues

Whether or not LLMs are conscious depends on what theory of consciousness you are working on, and there is no universally accepted theory of consciousness. Every theory of consciousness is controversial, and most experts would probably agree that the correct theory has yet to be discovered. The point is that we simply don’t know enough about consciousness to confidently say which systems have it and which systems don’t.

For a tui, there are probably going to be a large number of (possibly reconfigurable) keyboard shortcuts and maybe some sort of command system. How you let the user know about all of them without having to memorize a giant table can be difficult.

That makes sense. In my case I’m looking to play around with the reticulum network / nomandnet so in that case the user would already be knee deep in the tui, so these issues could hopefully be avoided

It’s a game I found in the reticulum network. I can try and find the specific reticulum address later if you’re interested

Dealing with all the interaction options

Yeah. Is it even possible to have adapt if a user changes the size of their window? Window resizing often seems to break these graphics

Making it all discoverable for your users

Why do you consider this an issue specifically?

We do have trains connecting the country, including to some northern communities. But where there is no train service it helps to supplement with buses. Unfortunately most of our passenger trains use the same rail lines as our cargo trains, which causes a lot of delays, so it’s not as fast as you might think. But our current government will fix that issue somewhat by creating high-speed rail in our most populous area

Thanks!

With all due respect, you simply do not know what you are talking about. Here is some info on this topic if you are all interested in learning more

Thank you

I’m eager to hear how this is going to effect the petition. Were any of the signatures illegitimate? Is there any way to tell for sure? Hopefully the answers to these questions will be coming weeks/months

This is a very ignorant comment. Consciousness is legitimately the greatest unsolved problem in modern science and philosophy.

I usually disagree with you about everything but I think you have a valid point here. This was an issue I studied very closely when I was in university, and you’re right, no one has the slightest clue how consciousness works. Saying “oh ChatGTP is just a statistical machine so it can’t be conscious” is like saying “oh the human brain is just a bunch of neural firings so it can’t produce consciousness”. In both cases, consciousness is not an obvious end result, but here we are.

That said, personally I don’t think ChatGTP is conscious, but it’s wrong for people to act like it being a philosophical zombie is obvious; the possibility of it being conscious is actually compatible with most nonreligious people’s belief systems already. Unfortunately the anti-AI hate on Lemmy won’t allow people to see the nuance on this discussion and they will interperet this as me somehow defending AI slop, which I am in no way trying to do.

Well, not with that attitude

Northern Canada is disproportionately rural and generally less developed than southern Canada, and in general it’s harder to connect rural communities to the rest of Canada because it’s such a big country so there’s a lot of distance you need to cover. I think ValueSubtracted is basically saying, it’s nice we have these buses to major population centres in the south, but what we really need is buses like this to connect rural and northern communities.

This is interesting. I guess they are going from Winnipeg -> Brandon -> Regina because there is already a Winnipeg to Saskatoon Via Rail trip. No competition for the Winnipeg to Regina route though. And of course Regina is simply closer to Brandon

A wormhole is a cool idea.

Much love and peace to you, friend.

Much love and peace to you as well

different frequencies affect data transfer rate

Ah that makes sense

You are correct, my sincerest apologies.

No problem mate. Thanks for all your info and the detailed responses

Oh boy, I went down a rabbit hole. This has been bothering me to the point where I called in some favors and found some public info

I appreciate the dedication!

The lasers idea is interesting.

And some frequencies travel farther and faster than others.

Don’t all frequencies of light travel at the same speed?

Yeah seriously that article paints a really dark picture

This is such an oddly specific question
