model welfare is a concern because it displays a broader concern for care, despite it being possibly silly to believe a model can be conscious, the intent is what matters

I feel the same way as the author but also notice that many in this thread are projecting their personal motivations for why they might think or blog onto the author, interesting from a psychological POV

Pent··on Improved audio rendering with an optimised version of memcpy (2013)
People just don’t take care of their bodies nor have “good” senses to even tell, I mean half these comments are admitting to no taste, don’t be surprised when they mean that literally
Pent··on The radical moral implications of luck in human life (2020)
the color red is a matter of perception, not a "law of physics"
Pent··on The radical moral implications of luck in human life (2020)
>Free will is no more an illusion than the qualia of red. If what you think is outside your control, then who is the "you" that is not in control? Where is it?

If you can't choose to swap the color red to blue, then what makes you think you have any other choice with other things in your mind?

Pent··on I Posted on YouTube Consistently for 1 Month. This Is What Happened
It worked for Oprah I guess
Pent··on SIM swapper abducted, beaten, held for ransom
Opening a private phone number and email solely for the purpose of banking and identity, would be one solution

Pent··on Trust: the inside story of the rise and fall of Ethereum
Ethereum lost all my trust when they hardforked over a contract mistake. They are never getting that back. I'd recommend rebranding the project to focus on the community-driven aspect. They are no better than our current legal framework.
Pent··on The State of Meteor Part 1: What Went Wrong
Routing in Meteor is non-trivial if you want it to behave how a single-page app should behave. The defaults provide the bare minimum of usability and arguably worse than what we had with server-side rendering. It's exasperated by the fact that the routing libraries are not part of the core framework.

If you don't want to bother reading the page. It's just a publicity/marketing skin on various google properties for Star Wars.
Pent··on The viability of JavaScript frameworks on mobile
I'd like to see Meteor comparisons as well. I used to develop with Meteor heavily but I was frustrated by the very poor performance on mobile. The intense javascript would sometimes even lock up browsers on older devices.
