8·7 days agoI wish I got to be as militant about my atheist beliefs as some nut jobs can be about their faith.
Not that I really want to, but must be nice sometimes just acting like everybody that doesn’t think like me is wrong

This should be mandatory in Sartre.
1·10 days agoThis is the history of mankind summarized succinctly.
From the hacker news comments:
Yes, consciousness is described as a constant feedback loop by Douglas Hofstadter in his book ‘I am a strange loop’.
Well with the read it you want to explore this though a bit further.
If you can’t get enough of Satie, are you insatieable?

Weird article,I recommend reading the comments on HN.
The definition pain killer is applied strangely, and this new drug 'non addictive, without side effects’is pushed.
That’s the same marketing that was used to promote heroin over the ‘addictive’ morphine.
We tend to be suckers for the ‘big men’ way of writing history. As we are hard wired to appreciate causality:
X triggers y which revolutionized how we do z and changed the world to our ‘current understanding’.
In this case the writer is trying to push a theological, conservative narrative, and Aquinas fits perfectly! Wow!
Otoh one could argue that Aquinas biggest achievement is showing the natural world cannot be explained solely from the bible, thus necessitating less convoluted explanations (Occam’s razor) this paving the way for science through falsification.
All writing on the success of technology in war follows the same structure.
A new weapon is introduced and finds success, is boasted as the future of warfare. It works and is a significant advantage for the side using it, being a force multiplier.
After the initial succes the other side starts using it too, and there’s a scramble for countermeasures. This makes the wonder weapon less effective.
Then articles are written that are the inverse of the hype following the first implementation. Even doubting if ‘this is the end of -wonder weapon- ?’
Look at the tank. With every new weapon (take drones) it is theorized that drones would be the end of effectiveness of tanks as a weapon system.
It’s not, but it’s not longer a wonder weapon, yet a piece of equipment, that’s constantly evolving. Is an arms race and it’s been like that since the invention of the club by our ancestors.

3·15 days agoYeah it’s hard, but that’s why you, my friend, are a light in the darkness;)
Good faith is extremely important. And even though it’s much harder to read this online than in real life, there people being disingenuous in real life.
It’s the reason why online debate is hard and escalates quickly. You see people getting angry with people they agree with, even though they are arguing the same point, but they don’t share their level of anger with the opposing side.
I think remaining calm and level headed and generous through even that is important as people will pick up on genuine emotion over spam and anger, eventually. And if we all do it it makes a better community.
Aha. I see! Thanks for explaining.
Yeah, but I don’t get that I’m ringing 64 bit since win7 and never had trouble running old games.
So why still run an is that is dependent on 32 bit?
I was curious after how it tastes, but alas.
Can someone Eli5 egg 32 bit architectuur is still a thing? Why should Steam be still in 32 ?
