hshshshshsh··on Quantitative AI progress needs accurate and transparent evaluation
Yeah. My point is you have not seen any of the evidence. You just have belief that evidence exists. Which is a belief and not evidence.
hshshshshsh··on Quantitative AI progress needs accurate and transparent evaluation
This is actually true. Plenty of accidents has happened because of this.

I am not saying trusting your memory is always false or true. Most of the times it might be true. It's a heuristic.

But if someone comes and deny what you did, the best course of action would be to consider the evidence they have and not assume they are stupid because they believe differently.

Let's be honest, you have not personally went and verified the rocks belongs to Moon. Nor were you tracking the telemetry data in your computer when the rocket was going to Moon.

I also believe we went to Moon.

But all I have is beliefs.

Everyone believed Early was flat 1000s years back as well. They had solid evidence.

But the humility is accepting you don't know and you are believing and not pretend you are above others who believe exact opposite..

hshshshshsh··on Quantitative AI progress needs accurate and transparent evaluation
The truth is, both deniers and believers are operating on belief. Only those who actually went to the Moon know firsthand. The rest of us trust information we've received — filtered through media, education, or bias. That makes us no fundamentally different from deniers; we just think our belief is more justified.
hshshshshsh··on What does connecting with someone mean?
You cannot over share Most people don't give a shit about you. And the ones who gives a shit does have their own ideas about you anyway. So you would be surprised how much influence you can do to change those ideas. Even if you change their ideas it's still an idea in your head as far as your are concerned.
hshshshshsh··on What does connecting with someone mean?
> A good place to start was to figure out what makes me happy. So, I wrote down the best experiences of my life so far. I came up with 20. 19 of them were experiences where I connected with people.

You are assuming you know what best experience you can experience by looking at the past. But this is not necessarily correct. Don't assume you know the answer. Try new things. Some of the best experiences come from within. Boy you would be surprised:)

hshshshshsh··on Compression culture is making you stupid and uninteresting
> Because it felt like asking someone to summarize a kiss. Like requesting the bullet points of grief.

This is dumb. No matter how many thousands of pages you write you cannot convey the feeling of these without experiencing it. So might as well as summarize it.

hshshshshsh··on India: Income Tax Bill allows officials to forcibly access social media, email
I don't think I necessarily would care that much if I have to go back. My mind would just as easily find issues on the other side as well.
hshshshshsh··on India: Income Tax Bill allows officials to forcibly access social media, email
Everytime I regret moving abroad India makes sure I don't.
hshshshshsh··on I've launched 37 products in 5 years and not doing that again
Do you think Steve Jobs give a shit about what customers thought?
hshshshshsh··on The bewildering phenomenon of declining quality
Just for the west I think. Quality is actually sky rocketing in Asian countries compared to past for example. My best bet is resources were over allocated to West prior because of colonization and it's getting reversed to mean at a rapid pace.
hshshshshsh··on There's no such thing as a tree (phylogenetically) (2021)
Yeah. But that wood and that leaves of plant don't get you a tree. You are filling in the blanks that makes something a tree with information you already know about trees.
hshshshshsh··on There's no such thing as a tree (phylogenetically) (2021)
Sure. But when most people think of plants they already use a tree like thing as mental model.

People who have only seen non tree plants doesn't exist.

And nor does any non tree plant leaves help you generate a tree leaf.

hshshshshsh··on There's no such thing as a tree (phylogenetically) (2021)
Non tree plants still require you assume what a tree is.
hshshshshsh··on There's no such thing as a tree (phylogenetically) (2021)
> First, what is a tree? It’s a big long-lived self-supporting plant with leaves and wood.

Hmm. This is a circular definition. You need to invoke tree to define leaves and wood.

hshshshshsh··on More on Apple's Trust-Eroding 'F1 the Movie' Wallet Ad
You should consider doing standup comedy. That made me smile.

But isn't that a bad way to live life? Spending the best years of life working a job that you don't like so that you get weekends free?
hshshshshsh··on Schizophrenia is the price we pay for minds poised near the edge of a cliff
So brain realizes it's completely making up the reality on fly?

Then all OP is saying key impact person had key impact. Doesn't add any substance to discussion.
hshshshshsh··on More on Apple's Trust-Eroding 'F1 the Movie' Wallet Ad
How do you know Ive had a key impact? Do you know it or read somewhere online?
hshshshshsh··on More on Apple's Trust-Eroding 'F1 the Movie' Wallet Ad
Yeah. One thing I learned working at a Big company is that companies are full of parasites who are there to get their promotion or salary increase and don't give a cat shit about users or mission or values. Honestly it sucked any joy out of my life but I am stuck here because of visa.
hshshshshsh··on Judge rejects Meta's claim that torrenting is “irrelevant” in AI copyright case
Haha. I meant legally. In EU it's common to get fined for pirating movies.
hshshshshsh··on Judge rejects Meta's claim that torrenting is “irrelevant” in AI copyright case
Wait. So I can pirate any stuff as long as I intend to train an LLM with it?
hshshshshsh··on Managing time when time doesn't exist
Focus assumes you have free will.
hshshshshsh··on Research suggests Big Bang may have taken place inside a black hole
Can you find any separation in your experience without using beliefs.
hshshshshsh··on What happens when clergy take psilocybin
No. I don't feel suicidal. Actually completely opposite. I have never been more freer. To try new things and experiences.

I was not talking about meaning. I think it's a false assumption that you need meaning to have a fulfilling life. Meaning just creates a feeling. So you are really focused on the feeling and not the act itself or implications.

Like you don't want to do an act which is logically meaningful and feel depressed after doing it. You want to feel good after doing meaningful act. So it's all about feeling. And not meaning.

hshshshshsh··on What happens when clergy take psilocybin
Lot of words and blind beliefs.

0 experiential knowledge.

hshshshshsh··on What happens when clergy take psilocybin
All spiritual experiences are nevertheless an appearance in consciousness.

So consciousness can generate an infinity of experiences.

So no reason to think one experience is somehow more special than any other experience since all experiences passes and go no matter how profound you feel.

Even profound feelings are just appearance in consciousness.

Even if you die and go to heaven that's still appearance in consciousness.

Even time is an appearance in consciousness.

So given all that, is there anything to chase?

Are we stuck here forever?

Nothing to gain or loose.

Try to find who you are and you will find god.
hshshshshsh··on Research suggests Big Bang may have taken place inside a black hole
Fair question. So my understanding is God is consciousness. It's omnipotent, all knowing and eternal. It's the only thing which is constant in your life and it sees everything you do.

Now, you cannot worship consciousness as humans because it's invisible and you can never imagine it. You need a version of consciousness that you can see as well as you can relate to. So cultures invent localized version of God which people can relate to. And of course it will have attributes similar to that of the culture. But the properties kind of still hold. Like all knowing, powerful etc.

hshshshshsh··on Research suggests Big Bang may have taken place inside a black hole
Solipsism is the question whether it's all made up by my mind and only my mind exists.

I am not interested in that.

I am interested in the thing in which all the made up stuff appears. And the thoughts and mind appears. Even I appear in that.
