google pixel with grapheneos maybe

pixel 10 is pretty repairable hardware wise, some prior ones have glued in battery

i was expecting a dumb joke like ‘my d*ck’ or something but agreed

i would imagine companies would just filter it out

need some more clever way of hiding it or allow it to be self hosted so that it has various urls

flavor is an experience created by your brain (or at least, created subjectively internal to an agent if you don’t want to accept that conscious experiences are fully explained physically)

what if water really has a flavor but our brains filter it out

so this makes no sense, flavor just is what you experience.

the fathers were HIV-positive, not the mothers.

that (besides the obvious ethical concerns) was a big reason behind the backlash from the genome editing community. we had already known a much less invasive method for preventing HIV infection of the embryo in this case, by ‘washing’ the seminal fluid away from sperm (sperm cannot become infected with HIV, but the HIV particles would be in the fluid surrounding the sperm).

generally it is fine but it is kind of resource intensive

sometimes I can’t believe this guy has a phd from rice

the attempt to mimic compression artifacts, they are just random lines throughout the edges of the image

the computer ports, they are different every time

the hand in the bottom left frame, it is drawn weirdly and bleeding into the other line

the guy’s random eyebrow in the middle right frame

making the client open source was such a good move

i love uma

meant to automate grabbing content from torrents or usenet, sending them to your torrent client, and also moving or linking the dowbloaded files

the available settings, filter for formats, etc. are pretty complex and the usecase is broad

Do you think knowledge, reasoning, experience, and risks do not play any role in our decisions?

if you accept physical determinism, then knowledge, reasoning, experience, etc. are part of the physical system (ie. your brain) which makes the decision. they only play a role in that they influence the physical system for the decision making. the problem remains that you are forced to make a certain decision according to physics. the knowledge, reasoning, etc. are significant insofar as they influence the physics.

in determinism: you change the physics, you change the outcome. knowledge and reasoning changes the physics (the state of your mind), which changes the outcome. their influence on your decision making process does not imply free will.

Even if there was free will, those things would be vastly more important than it. Free will is totally unimportant

i gave an example of a tree accidentally falling and killing someone in the other comment, it is hard to imagine free will has nothing to do with why you don’t hold the tree morally responsible.

anyway, i am going to stop replying, my original reply was just showing that the free will problem is very much an issue for any deterministic position. there are potentially good ways to salvage determinism and i give references to three in my first comment, but the point you put forth is not convincing.

Just because the agent would’ve never made a different choice, doesn’t mean these things don’t matter anymore, it’s wholly irrelevant to whether or not we should punish them.

i do not make claims about punishments for actions, but instead i am talking about moral responsibility. consider a cat knocking over my cup, compared to a child who does it on purpose. your inclination is to hold the child morally responsible but not the cat. though you may punish the cat, you would not think that the cat is capable of the type of moral reasoning a child is capable of.

it may help to consider the example of a tree falling accidentally by gravity and killing a person. is that tree morally responsible for murder?

if you haven’t noticed by now, im an incompatibilist (i do not believe determinism is compatible with free will)

we fundamentally disagree on what a ‘decision’ is. you believe that logical possibility is enough for free will, i don’t.

The agent made its decision based on knowledge, reasoning, experience, the risks, the morals

i argue that if you accept determinism, this is an illusion. you believe you are making a decision based on free will because it is logically possible that you can take any of the available options, but it in actuality it is no different than the marble, you are physically bound to a specific outcome.
