Exceed is still the only program that handles graphically intense Unix X11 sessions properly for Windows machines. It’s still not great though.

Some of us still have to slog through old CAD applications that have long been abandoned.

His speculation about total fuselage failure due to the door departing is completely off the rails and bordering on fear mongering.

engineerguy (Bill Hammack) is a great channel where Bill explains all kinds of different things.

Prove it.

These are so cool! Do you have a link to buy?

Everyone should learn the basics of troubleshooting!

When trying to resolve a problem it’s really important to keep as many variables under control as possible so that you can find the root cause and fix it.

I see lots of people who try a bunch of things without isolating the issue first but can’t figure out what is wrong. Then because they messed with it so much it’s almost impossible to figure out.

This is important for car maintenance, home maintenance, electronics, computers. Just about everything that can break or stop working right in your life.

Playing devil’s advocate here, but is it truly a public good to have as many works as possible accessible to the public?

What if misinformation outweighs real information in the aggregate?

Keith David makes a great Vice President too: https://saintsrow.fandom.com/wiki/Keith_David

His breakdown of Wozmon was my introduction to him. He is incredibly good at explaining and breaking things down. I was riveted when I started watching.

8-Bit Guy is great. Love his deep dives on how older technology works.

His videos on restoring a 1985 Fiero got me hooked. His video subject matter and editing style are interesting and fun.

It is undefined because the inverse of division is multiplication. If you multiply by zero, every answer is zero. If you try to invert that operation you can’t know which number was multiplied by zero to get zero because multiplying by zero doesn’t produce a unique answer for each operation.

Additionally, if you take the limit of 1/x as x approaches zero from the positive side the result approaches positive infinity. If you take the limit from the negative side it approaches negative infinity.

An interesting thing to think about is whether multiplication by zero really makes much sense in the concrete world. You can’t really have zero groups of something or some number of groups of zero. Zero groups of anything is still nothing. We can think of that abstractly once we have the abstract concept of numbers, but in the real world that idea is nonsense.

Toothpaste. Generics are awful.

I use it with Firefox. I’m not sure if it’s available for Chrome.

There are some uBlock Origin custom filters that bypass a lot of paywalls. The one I use is called Bypass Paywalls Clean.

What is consciousness in this context though? What do you mean by “a bit of?” Are atoms only partially experiencing being atoms?

I don’t think this is true. Most philosophers agree to define consciousness as what it is like to be something, or the act of experiencing.

If you experience things, you are conscious.

Can you provide a panpsychist definition of consciousness? I had a hard time finding an actual definition in searching. I understand the idea that panpsychists believe that mind is a fundamental part of reality, but haven’t seen a solid definition of consciousness in that context.

Also are you on the Panexperientialism or Pancognitivism bandwagon? Or maybe both?

Edit: From plato.stanford.edu I found this, but it is attributed to analytic philosophy:

“something is conscious just in case there is something that it’s like to be it; that is to say, if it has some kind of experience, no matter how basic.”
