ExLisper,

Exactly. For 10 years the groupthink was that Wayland doesn’t offer anything interesting and X is just fine. Now suddenly everyone who’s still using X is stupid. Amazing what couple of memes can do.

ExLisper,

The simulation doesn’t respond to prayers or requests.

How do you know? What if the guy running the simulation actually monitors what we think and reacts to it? What if the personally decides to give people cancer or cure it? What if he copies our minds to simulation of hell after we die? What if 2000 years ago he copied himself into the simulation to get crucified?

ExLisper,

Why being in a simulation is unlikely? How do you estimate the probability of that?

ExLisper,

Ok, so you also don’t believe there’s any extraterrestrial life in the universe, right? And it’s as likely to exists as Norse gods? I mean, there’s no proof for it after all.

ExLisper,

You made the exactly same false equivalence between gods and computer simulations. That was my point.

"We know simulations can exist, since we simulate things, so it stands to reason that since simulations exists on earth that it could exist somewhere else. Nothing about simulations conceptually requires anything that we don’t already have a scientific method for. "

Simulating entire world only requites different computational scale which we also know is possible because we keep improving our computational capabilities.

ExLisper,

Ups, thanks. Totally missed that.

ExLisper,

Even more material for the “words you have been using wrong” thread.

ExLisper,

Yes, I agree but you see the difference between computer simulation of a single planet (you don’t have to simulate the entire universe to simulate our civilization) and Norse Gods, right? You see how one is fairly reasonable extrapolation of our current capabilities and the other is fantasy? Of course we don’t know if it’s possible to create a conscious, intelligent being in a computer but we also don’t know what actually makes as conscious and intelligent so we can’t say it’s definitely not possible. Similarly we don’t know exactly how life on earth originated (complex life even less so) so we don’t know how probable it it’s it exists in other places. Simulation theory is definitely more similar to extraterrestrial life than Norse Gods. And when it comes to it’s probability we simply don’t know.

ExLisper,

A minute of silence for all the people killed by asshole chihuahuas…

So you’re working on your machine learning projects in Zig?

ExLisper,

I thought matrix was going to school and getting unplugged was graduating.

ExLisper,

It’s easy to spell when you realize it’s a Polish last name. And you speak Polish.

ExLisper,

The problem with SpaceVim is that it offers a lot of toggles that are easy to switch but there are no examples for more ‘custom’ config and I struggled to figure it out. There’s a lot of examples and guides for nvim so it was easier. I don’t know, maybe it was just me but with SpaceVim I also didn’t really see what’s possible. With nvim I just found long lists of useful plugins that you can add one by one.

As for the future I don’t really worry that there will be next thing after neovim. I didn’t write any custom scripts for it, all I have is just plugins with mostly default settings. It would take me a day to switch to another tool witch is not a big issue.

I think starting with Vim is a good idea. You can easily add plugins one by one when you will see the need for them.

Yeah, it’s shameful that as society we learned to be compassionate to other disabled people but still treat the obese like it’s their own fault.

ExLisper,

As long as the movie is good I don’t care who made it. The industry also shouldn’t. This goes both ways: good nonbinary filmmakers should get to make movies, bad nonbinary filmmakers shouldn’t make movies just because they’re nonbinary.

ExLisper,

Tiny bit of backstory: I work in Spain so there’s a lot of kissing on the chicks when greeting someone. Spanish people kiss twice, in western countries people kiss 3 times so sometimes there’s a bit of confusion. Anyway, once a girl from Romania met a French co-worker next to my desk. Typical greeting and she says:

  • How do French people kiss?

The guy got a little bit confused and says:

  • Trust me, you don’t want me to show you how the French kiss…

Not really related but I found it extremely funny.

ExLisper,

True story: some newspaper in Poland organize a competition for the weirdest name. The guy who won had last name of ‘Zyc or Cyc’ (in polish, of course). Basically when his grandfather was registering his name some guy couldn’t read it or something so he put ‘Zyc or Cyc’ and it stayed like this in the documents.

According to this guy when police would stop him and try to write a ticket they would get confused and ask him which one was it? He would say that maybe they shouldn’t write anything because their boss will they they’re stupid or something. They would usually let him go.
