    this post gives me the same impression as what @bitofhope@awful.systems mentioned about netcode the other day: some just straight-up :bigthonk: applied with a handful of bits of actual clue, and threading the needle between platformer jump-pads A through Z hoping you get there with a safe landing all the way

    I was going to say I didn’t even check on this person’s profile (simply the e/lambda seemed sketchy), but then I did and ugh I have made mistakes

      Found here:

      This is the secret. George opened the debate by acknowledging Yud’s intellectual gigantism, comparing him to Sartre and Neechay (have not heard of this one before). “I’m sitting in front of an intellectual giant now” Game recognize game.

      And here, bringing the Alabama-school-board energy:

      Evolution is observable, we know species change. Evolution by natural selection is marginally observable. We can run experiments in test tubes with bacteria or whatever. Yet we confidently extrapolate these extremely limited observations to the vastly bigger phenomenon 🤔🤔

        holy (pun not intended) actual fucking shit…

        ID is significantly more testable in practice than people admit

        hot take but okay

        ID is significantly more testable in practice than people admit. For instance, God could have encoded a monkey jpeg in the human DNA. This would be irrefutable evidence of his existence.

        I… okay. I’m surprised they didn’t take it like half a turn further and go full “obviously since we’ve derived BYAC from our own code and soon through AGI singularity we’re rebirthing god”, but, okay.

        has to be a jpeg though. pngs not allowed.
