Yup, always wondered this as well! The word for each internal subjective experience is called qualia.

Pretty much impossible to prove the original question until we're able to see through someone else's eyes and brain (if we ever get there, that's probably the least of our philosophical worries :D)

Noticing on my monitor that it's more blue if I tiptoe and look down, and it's obviously green when looking at below.

I think a better way to standardize this without too much variance in color would be make the user denote on the screen where they are actually looking perpendicular to the screen and judge from that area.

This article reeks of being written by AI, which normally is not a bad thing. But in conjunction with a disingenuous claim which (at best) is just unfair and unscientific testing of public models against private ones, it really is not giving this company a solid reputation.

Why would one of the most popular languages in the world not have a word for "bribe"? Seems a bit condescending, implying Russians can't tell the difference between a "bribe" and customary behavior.

Fixed this for you: "I haven’t been affected, so everyone else is overreacting."

You're comparing apples to oranges here. The USA is supposed to be capitalistic, free market, yada yada. China doesn't make that claim.

The main point the comment you replied to is trying to make is that the US doesn't put their money where their mouth is.

AI is a lot more powerful in this aspect.

MS Word would find no qualms in this sentence:

"I started the car and went for a drive on the highway. There were many other cats on the road but it was nevertheless agitating."

Given the correct prompt (that avoids changing your literary style altogether), AI can quickly suggest cats -> cars and agitating -> peaceful, since it's much better at contextualizing.

Seems strange they would design a system that could scan faster than they could process the DB, no? I assume there's some queue in between. But the real answer is probably just: multiple scans happen for the same piece of mail. Eventually, one or both of them will be marked as due for payment. The question then becomes, was it worth saving the postage cost for what is potentially a much costlier penalty?

Looks like the comment you replied to links to a Jura as well

You're misinterpreting. When sorted by annual income, the top 5 incomes all have the same value: 380,288. This points to something weird going on in the data, unless all of those specific participants happen to work the same job at the same company. Even then, years of experience and salary increases would likely differ.

DAW/NLE = digital audio workstation/non-linear editing (you'd have to search both terms in order to get the correct context, especially if used right next to each other).

The author is probably talking about video editing of some kind, whereby he either regrets not saving more source code or taking more screenshots of his work if I had to wager a guess. Not sure what the "non-realtime/static artifact from code" refers to when it comes to video editing -- perhaps much of it was rendered from code? 3D software, programmatic editing, etc.?

Wabi-sabi being used a bit weirdly in this context, but I think they mean the temporality of it all has innate beauty. Sometimes not capturing every single moment/line of code is OK, and there is beauty in a moment not strictly captured, to be appreciated more since you'll never see it again.

Cancellation fees should not be more than double the actual fee of booking. This highly incentivizes no-shows and the use of virtual credit/debit cards for the initial booking.
