Intelligence is compressing information into irreducible representation.

> the transformation of energy into meaning == consciousness

> the transformation of energy into information == computation

-----------------

Perhaps we should go by what sentience means. To feel. A being that feels. To feel is to respond to a vibration in some way. That is to say, anything that has a signal is sentient in some way.

One can find an opinion at the ready but to be hysterical with opinions is a matter of distance.

I’m learning 3d and confused about what to focus on for hard modeling. I just wanna make cool realistic spaceships. Should I do cad or blender?

The only thing worse than shitty design is when the shitty design changes each time you use it.

Yikes…

Okay, so what's the significance of it and what's the boon?

Surprised so little public forth's implement it.

Pretty ancient practice probably. See the history of drug use in cultures and spirituality/art. Soma, etc.

I posit the fundamental foundation for logic is the recognition of the penis and vagina. From there follows spatial recognition and difference.
pyinstallwoes··on Why not object capability languages?
Shouldn’t it be automatic based on behavior? An annotation is ripe for exploitation if the system itself can’t make sense of its own parts.

That page reads completely incoherently if you understand junior level programming mental models. This is a hit piece for non technical audience meant to conjure fud.

Sympathetic resonance. Two guitars in a room, pluck the A string of one, the other A string will vibrate. “Spooky action at a distance”

pyinstallwoes··on Deep Learning Is Not So Mysterious or Different
Every thing has meaning in precise relation to the frequency of cooccurrence to every other thing.

I, too, have been mulling this. Word to word, paragraph to paragraph. Even letter to letter.

Also what if you processed text in signal space? I keep wondering if that’s possible. Then you get it all at once rather than windows. Use a derivative of change for every page, so the phase space is the signal end to end.

Absolutely, here’s why.

pyinstallwoes··on Show HN: Factorio Learning Environment – Agents Build Factories
Yeah but that’s a biased approximation at the cost of an assumption in equivalence and not truth distills equivalent in ratio. You’d have to treat tokens at some universal distance if one unit to approximate some unit of measurement along hwd/magnitude.

Overall visual perception is about noticing comparative differences not measuring absolute quantity.
