The Dissociated Universe: Bernardo Kastrup’s Analytic Idealism and the Mind That Contains the World
This essay completes a sequence. The first article considered Iain McGilchrist's panpsychist proposal that matter is a phase of consciousness, the way ice and vapor are phases of water. Its companion examined Daniel Dennett's illusionism, which argued that consciousness as we ordinarily conceive it is a user illusion the brain stages for itself. The third position, the…

"There isn’t any numeric goal in mind now, said Mike Amsden, a transportation planning manager for the city. But the city wants to keep connecting existing lanes “so that people do have continuous, cohesive, easily-understood network of protected bike lanes.”
He said the city is focused on protected bike lanes over regular bikes lanes because they are much safer for riders."

Ruh is a typical chestcat. She loves sleeping on my chest, given that either I'm wearing something or I'm covered by a blanket. She won't lie on it if I'm covered by a quilt. However, she doesn't mind lying on a quilt without anyone under it. She doesn't like my lap particularly; I have to lean back enough so she could place her front feet on my belly.
Mr Ek is a lapcat. He would gladly lie on my lap when I'm sitting. If I'm lying down, he also prefers the area of my knees.
Lulu is an universalcat. She will gladly lie down both on my lap, and on my chest. And if my chest is occupied, she's ready to lie down almost on my head, just to have the dominant position.

Hive mind: is there a non-profit that helps Open Source projects get their builds notarized by Apple? The technical part can be tricky, but it is possible to set this up with a bit of elbow grease, but getting a legal entity approved by Apple takes a lot of paperwork. I would hope that there would be a (European) foundation or sth that has done this, and would be willing to lend their credentials to a well-known project that currently cannot publish ready-to-run macOS binaries...

Whenever people are commenting on another half-assed, crappy #LLM feat, claiming that there are "some" use cases for this "#AI", substitute "AI" with "genocide".
Because, you know, there are "use cases" for genocide too, and apparently a lot of people don't mind, as long as they can benefit from it and look the other way.

What LLMs and the Turing test¹ tell us: most of us not only are² stochastic parrots³ but are also fine with that – otherwise we would not happily use LLMs to produce all the output we communicate to others.
One could frame this as “insult to humanity” but I prefer to call it telling.

This has been on my mind for *weeks*. I've been saying for a long time that it's possible to have an AI that only uses consensually-gathered content, is open source open weights, runs on your own machine, and is designed to empower creators instead of exploit them. Well, we've finally got one. https://www.

Ten years ago when I was building electric vehicles with my friends I always hated getting my hands all greasy and dirty.
Five years ago talking to friends of mine who were into gardening and plants I mentioned how I always hated getting soil and dirt all over my hands.
Nowadays when I’m in the kitchen making dough, mixing batter, whipping up icing, I don’t mind getting my hands dirty at all.
It’s just a different kind of “dirt” that I like.

Better to wait until tomorrow when the motherboard I ordered for the microscope bench box comes in. Then I can use its bracket with the new heatsink and CPU, and pull the existing VM server processor/heatsink assembly and…

"When every student in a class processes information through the same language model, they are learning to reason through the same system. This introduces a new threat vector on the developing mind.
The model's statistical biases become the student's default framing. The model's reasoning structure becomes the student's reasoning structure. LLMs homogenize not just language but also perspective and reasoning strategies. "

This was a contradiction to the facts my logical mind knew.

This desire to be on the gravel team had come out of nowhere.
I’d never planned to do a gravel race.
