what's the word, dog?

yeah, I dunno, this is before my time

hype cycles are wild, and this one looks more tulip-y than some others

totally, I concede that that's true, I think my semantic razor here would be around "mental act"

like our nervous system also responds to millions of years of evolved pain and stimulus responses, but that happens before it even hits our brain at all

so I'd suggest that's not a cognitive response

ad blocker that isn't quite getting it all?

sometimes it has block targets for the name and content of things but other parts of the div still persist

and then up to cognition: I see a light and think "that's a car headed for me"

I would argue that somewhere on that spectrum is where pattern matching starts, and below that it is not

mmm. is all reaction "pattern matching"?

otherwise a vinegar and baking soda volcano is pattern matching "oh, I have all the ingredients that imply an explosion, I should explode now"

up a complexity layer: plants react to light

up a layer: my pupils auto-dilate in light

up: flinching reflex

maybe I'm not understanding the game, but like, most experience isn't pattern matching?

maybe we're arguing that enjoying the sun on your face is pattern matching "I should enjoy this feeling" as an abstraction above "I simply enjoy this feeling" but I guess I'd argue that enjoyment is innate

in terminals you can up arrow to scroll back through previous commands

yeah, I'm really fascinated by that too

personally it seems like, uh, other parties are blowing things up and carney has been a fairly reasonable adult in the room

I've been impressed generally by the davos speech and handle on changing international climates, not the instigator of those things

gosh I'm so glad I'm immune to contagious yawning now

basically everything in the entire game is textured with one 512x512 texture

I'm typing this very comment on an M1 air that has been running for years and seemingly probably will continue to forever

this is the one thing I haven't tried yet, but will see today

I think I can just sign it myself and treat the whole thing like a fork since I specifically don't want updates or original ties back to the real app store version anyway

yeah, "human readable" code is a funny word these days

edit your own software!

the corporate cronies can't stop us!

make your device exactly perfectly how you want it to beeee

there's a bug in mobile chrome where the bottom-most DM message is actually below the writing field such that you can never scroll or read it

you have to reply at least one message to push the boxes up enough to clear

which is so weird because everyone has netflix and spotify and a dozen other things

there's so many subscriptions that you get ads in podcasts about unsubscription services

but pay for a tool? crazy

yes

man I wish doors just opened for me like that

the most mundane superpower
