Or at the very least pay it back.

Isn’t the problem with your example that a completely color blind person cannot differentiate the wavelength, but they can differentiate the intensity of light. I’m also mostly assuming here, that our light cones are sensitive to certain ranges of frequency and that is how we can differentiate different wavelengths.

The scientific and philosophical question is if we can prove that each person perceive those combination of signals the same way. The subjective experience.

Unless of course the color blindness is a “software” issue rather than a “hardware” issue.

Then they would need to know where you are as well.

You have a point, but perhaps try a softer tone next time. I think that would help your argument.

I think you’re doing your argument a disservice by comparing it to theory of gravity. But I do appreciate learning about this hypothesis and that there is actual experimentation going on. Thanks again for sharing.

Thanks, that’s an interesting read. Still stand by my opinion that your statement is overly confident in explaining consciousness.

Any source on your claim about consciousness? Sounds very speculative.

Nice. I bought a old unused Stanley plane but that had a plastic handle that was cracked on delivery. Recreated it in wood which was a fun project, figuring out how to drill the holes to make it fit correctly.

Super interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Does it not need to be scraped to be indexed, assuming it’s semi-typical RAG stuff?

Who has complained about that?

Still don’t understand what you are talking about.

They look really nice and healthy! Keep a look out for aphids, they’ve attacked my pepper plants and are almost impossible to get rid of. I’ve spent hours defending my plants, looking like a mad man.

Getting some ladybugs to feel at home is the only thing that has worked for me. My ladybugs started laying eggs which is great. Just make sure you can identify them so you don’t kill them at first sight.

“My Corsi-Rosenthal Box is designed to efficiently accelerate particles inwards. The particles are then ‘captured’ using a special filtering technique, and separated from the air molecules which are allowed through.”

Per trip is a completely useless metric as you say, that’s the reason.

Yeah it seems to be the case as China didn’t respect the deal it made with UK to leave Hong Kong autonomous. If 3.5% of China did that it would most likely be a blood bath, be it a violent or non-violent protest.

I think we’re all aware. And Hong Kong isn’t (wasn’t) China in terms of governance(“one country, two systems”). China broke the deal it made with UK, which said Hong Kong would be autonomous until 2048, after which it would be incorporated into China.

But you’re right, not much to do when China claims authority and no one defends its right to free speech, democracy and autonomy.

Edit: added some need nuance on the “one country, two systems”.

Hong Kong was supposed to be free to control itself until 2048, democracy and free speech etc. China the decided that Hong Kong was starting to getting a little too free and started to tell the sitting president to shut the protests down.

China eventually took back control and instituted a national security law that could be used for pretty much anything after the crackdown didn’t quell the unrest.

I was actively following it live as it unfolded. It was very sad to see how much young people fought for basic freedoms and still lost it.

I remember being torn between my general non-violence stance and also understanding the protestors reciprocating the police violence.

Tell that to Hong Kong demonstrators on June 16, 2019, estimated by organizers at 2 million people marching. Hong Kong had a population of 7.5 million at the time.

Sure there was violence both before and after that protest, but mostly caused by violent crackdown by police.

But did it fail because there was violence or was violence a sign of stronger opposition? Causation vs correlation and all that.

Ah, didn’t know that. Thank you for educating me.
