but there is no knowledge of how consciousness is expressed in materiality. Also I wonder if there is really any reason for there to be a contradiction between any of those things

a lot of the time I felt like whatever arbitrary magical soul like stuff people can come up with actually sounds like nothing compared to how absurdly complex and chaotic and sort of "alive" the "mere" material reality seems to be, which makes appear like the more deep metaphysical stuff people involve into their explanations, the more reductionist they are

strictly speaking, iirc when it comes to neural networks, dogfooding is not bad because the previous results are bad quality, but inherently bad for some fundamental learning algorithm math reasons, it's kinda like trying to adjust your arguments to fit the predefined conclusion instead of properly reaching it. Although my understanding of this is pretty vague

it's also a bit interesting that another meaning of dogfooding which I thought of first is positive and means that people that develop software are using it daily themselves so they actually need it to be good

the part about using AI to rewrite operating systems in Rust was probably better left under paywall

even Zen? It seemed fine but I ended up using firefox with experimental vertical tabs. Recently one time I wanted a "workspace" I separated a bunch of tabs into a new window (can select multiple tabs at once btw) and then joined it with the first window in a group using the window manager tabs thing

I've also recently been reading about many enlightenment ideas being borrowed from native americans https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dawn_of_Everything

when I think of these people wasting away I first have a somewhat misanthropic idea that community/society is precisely that cause of this, but then I also can't disagree with the lack of community, which sounds like a contradiction which there probably isn't really but it's not obvious how this works. Probably because society doesn't imply community, or anything at all for that matter, and being surrounded by people is perfectly compatible with loneliness

yeah I've actually assumed it's going to be basically "stalinist/maoist" when I went into the article but it's getting pretty vague and pretty far from it
