20 tabs without going crazy, do you guys just leave your pcs running 24/7 with all your apps running 24/7 too?
I do pretty much leave my PC on all the time. I realize I should probably stop doing this.
When Corsair hurries up and sends me the check for my cooler I'll get right on that.
Gotta razor blade off the thermal paste and buy a new CPU cooler I guess. Corsair 250D, looks like I can get a nice single radiator cooler thing for the front fan.
I'd not use razors, sounds like a good way to cause scratches. Isopropyl and microfiber disposables easily gets it all off.
or you can just lick the paste off
If it's named paste it's inherently edible (and tasty).

Wait, are people still talking about the 1000 or 500 tab thing like it's real? 21stCentury said it's more like 200+ and the vast majority of that is porn tabs in a single window, which hardly counts.

Oh, woke up today thinking that I should mention this. Dragon Ball Super has an animation-budget, now. They put more work into Buu blobbing around than they needed to.
It seems trivial to me that we exist only as molecules in motion, rather than static arrangements, and that as molecules are replaceable by identical ones, all essential things cannot be due to the identity of individual particles. Thus, the person that exists from t1 to t2 is fundamentally different from the person who exists from t2 to t3, and that relationship would be the same whether nothing happened at t2 or the person were suddenly switched three feet to the right, but otherwise identical.
Therefore get over it and teleport everywhere :P
This makes a lot of assumptions about identity re: particles
Also particles are never identical as one of their properties is always necessarily different, i.e. their locations in space!
Assumptions which are true, and can be shown by destructive and constructive interference, iirc?
I recall reading a blog post by an angry quantum guy who wanted to yell at philosophers over this very thing :P
But in any case there is no such thing as absolute position, so all that matters is relative position...
the real issue is that we don't understand consciousness or even qualitative experience enough to make assumptions about duplicating or destroying brains. i wouldn't step into that thing.
Hmm
I am torn, because on the one hand, I want to go "ok, fair"
On the other hand I approach 100% certain that everything we experience is somewhere in the brain, in the form of various processes that only are affected by relative positions and forces that are constantly shifting and would not be affected by such a thing.
(I am legitimately surprised that you would not step into a teleporter, actually.)
to clarify, i'm talking about the one that destroys the original and makes a copy
i am troubled by e.g. a thought experiment in which the machine simply creates a copy without destroying the original; obviously this would not transfer or disrupt my consciousness in any way so copies are not "me" and would not "transfer" my consciousness
i rather think that such duplication may actually be completely physically impossible, though
I'm only troubled by that insofar as there are limited resources (such as.. Querry...) that one me is going to be heartbroken to lose :P
I see your point; I think, however, that my objection is to what you are treating as axiomatic - that there is one "you" and that consciousness is a thing that is transferred independently of the continuing motion and interaction of particles, which I think silently lies under everything here. If you accept that consciousnesses require constant interactions, and that you are not the same person as ten years ago because the interactions are different*, then it follows pretty easily that identity is constantly shifting as its components move around, and that that is the only thing we really need bee concerned with
*this might be hard for some to swallow, but I don't think you can actually meaningfully say that you are without relying on non-physicalist stuff
Unrelatedly, grading is hard.
The whole difficulty of consciousness is exactly that: we experience it as singular and continuous even though it is presumably ever-changing.
Nonetheless, it is axiomatic that my consciousness is distinct from that of other individuals. As a result, if you copy me exactly and produce a clone, it is not me, necessarily. It's not as though I will experience a consciousness of two experiences, as there is no soul being divided between them. I (as in, that self which perceives a continuous conscious experience) will continue to be conscious as my original. I don't see how this would be altered by destroying the original, or how that scenario would be different from destroying the original while making no copy.
Basically, it seems that consciousness necessarily requires a kind of continuity, and that continuity does exist. If that continuity does not exist then consciousness does not exist in a meaningful way, I think.
Right - I'm saying that this is constantly happening every moment. In the case of cloning, you both will have the perception of continuity. You could argue that it doesn't exist in one case, and is only a perception... but I think that equally applies to the non-cloned case, and our treatment of them as different cases is a mental kludge to make things easier. The me of yesterday had different knowledge, different feelings, would react to situations (slightly) differently based on a host of things... and for a while, this meat bag was unconscious! I'm not sure why I should think that I'm the same person of yesterday, and if I do, I'm not sure why, in a case where I was killed and rebuilt at the end of sleep as though I'd slept, I should think that it's any different.
I think this is an easier, clearer case, but I also think that it applies moment to moment as our memories, emotions, and thoughts change. Reducing the time on that to zero changes nothing, we are still beings that exist only through change. Given that, the particular structure and changes are all that matters.
I actually do have a weird gut feeling about this, I just think that gut feeling is wrong.
(incidentally, I don't think that continuity exists. I think during sleep the body is basically someone else - it's so different, how could it be me? I wake up with the hallucinations of a different being, who's affected deeply by me, in my mind.)
I'm certainly not arguing that the clone's continuity doesn't exist. To the clone, he is me. If both continued to exist, I wouldn't even say that the original would have a better claim to the identity. It would be a bureaucratic nightmare. Your consciousness, arguably, has essentially branched, because both individuals have that sense of continuity.
But the two individuals are separate people, axiomatically, by their very existence. Here's another thought experiment: you are cloned, and then you wait an hour, and then you are shot in the head. Is this worse than destroying the original immediately upon duplication? Must we achieve a perfect, impossible, simultaneous duplication+destruction to preserve that continuity? How would it, in fact, be different for you than being shot in the head without having been duplicated at all?

i might try gardening this spring.

Man I just downed one of those large coffee energy drink things and I feel nothing! Today is going to be a long one.
I recently learned that despite Rockstar tasting awful the Rockstar fruit punch is p damn delicious and for some ungodly reason has 2x the caffeine of regular Rockstar but doesn't even seem to really make a big deal out of that which is weird for an energy drink thing.
Can you define what it would mean for, in the case of this transporter thing, your consciousness to cease and someone else's to be there? Especially in a way that's distinguishable from sleep and whatnot?
I just realized that I don't even think I can do that.
I'm not sure what you're asking (which someone else, where is "there", etc.)?

Basically, it seems that consciousness necessarily requires a kind of continuity, and that continuity does exist. If that continuity does not exist then consciousness does not exist in a meaningful way, I think.
But what about when you sever your corpus callosum and have a consciousness residing in each hemisphere and then reconnect the two hemispheres and go back to having one consciousness.
It does seem that consciousness, as a physical process, is manipulable and divisible. I don't know that that is really an objection to the idea of continuity, though.
I instinctively agree with vague notions about continuity and self; my visualization is that consciousness is like a volume of liquid. You can pour some into another container, you can add some from a different container, but filling a new container from a different source is too much of a disconnect to call it the same volume.
But there are a lot of weird things about it and I don't like it one bit, no sir ma'am.
when i open tabs, i open them knowing that i am creating an imbalance for temporary utility, one that must be redressed in the near future by paring down to one tab and, ultimately, closing the window entirely

Yeah I get the FP ones when im desperate but I did sleep in a bit so it was pretty much sit up out of bed in "oh shit" mode into work so never really had time to wake up properly.

I've flown a lot and not really had any issues with any airlines. I honestly couldn't even tell you which airline I used on either trip to the states (except we used air Canada Rogue on the way over, which fucking sucked)
SAS is the only airline I've sworn off. That plane was so small and shitty it looked like a Wright Bros prototype.
Facts about this D&D game that i learned last night:
- the bard knows a lot of ways to insult insects
- the barbarian occasionally does enough damage to actually erase a monster from the rulebook
- you can make the wizard happy by giving him a pet sword
- you can make the wizard abandon the party in search of a shower by spraying bug goo all over him
- druids love rust monsters - if you say "resistance potion, perhaps to acid", no one in the party will believe it's an acid resistance potion until one of them has been nearly melted into the floor
-Delmain -Belasco32 -Ludious -cptrugged
Ain't nobody trusting no GM. Also, I have a feeling we aren't the best at "preparation".
"The floor is vibrating all around you and it's clear something is coming. You have a round to prepare. What do you do?"
Bel: what about those "probably acid" resistance potions?
Rugged: lol no way they're likely all poison. I stand here and look faboulous
Delmain: i hide behind a rock
Ludious: who cares if the floor is shaking, I'm not even standing on it.
do browsers let you search tab names? i guess there's probably a function to view them as lists so you don't have to guess vaguely by tile and the first or second character you might see. i'm just thinking the search/navigation functionality on a bookmark might be better than a tab but i've never tried fucking with enough tabs to need to figure out a good way to run between them
