  • It’s entirely subjective, like wine tasting. Sweetness in such a bitter drink is more about what flavor notes exist that your brain associates with sweetness. Apple spice coffee, cinnamon, nutmeg, and certain floral notes like vanilla will pull “sweet-adjacent” associations in your mind that form a melody with the taste and smell.



  • Yet language and abstraction are the core of intelligence. You cannot have intelligence without 2 way communication, and if anything, your brain contains exactly that dictionary you describe. Ask any verbal autistic person, and 90% of their conversations are scripted to a fault. However, there’s another component to intelligence that the Turing Test just scrapes against. I’m not philosophical enough to identify it, but it seems like the turing test is looking for lightning by listening for rumbling that might mean thunder.







  • It’s not the political views, it’s the vibe. They dominate conversations, brigade posts constantly, and generally seem to act in bad faith in just about every interaction I’ve ever seen them partake in. Even looking into their posts, about 40% of it is talking about how to make the most noise in the most 4chan-esque, obnoxious way. At what point would you consider that behavior not in line with your threshold for “fuck-arounding?” I’m all for having a reasonable, 2-sided discussion with just about any reasonable differing opinion, even if neither of us changes our views, but that’s not what I’m seeing. I’m seeing megaphones in the form of PNGs that drown out any discussion and generally make everyone else’s experience on Lemmy worse.



  • If you’re remote-accessing these resources and can’t always be home to manage the cutover to cellular, I recommend splurging on a Unifi Dream Machine and LTE Backup module. Getting a verizon gateway or similar device won’t properly communicate with your network and has to use it’s own judgement through traffic monitoring to know when to take over DHCP/routing. We (local MSP) just resolved an issue where these devices couldn’t tell between an ISP blip or an outage and so it would wrestle DHCP from the firewall when they still had internet, killing their wireless printers. Unifi LTE communicates with the UDM over a very verbose and reliable protocol. The LTE doesn’t kick on until the FW realizes there’s a problem on the primary WAN.
