    While it is nice in theory to eliminate all national borders, it’s not one wolf but a wolf pack. The pack is deciding democratically to respect the border of another pack.

    Saying borders are “imposed by the state” is like a cub who ignores the pack, wanders into America and gets torn apart by nasty Americans.

    The “state” is people.





  • I wouldn’t be annoyed as much if it wasn’t being forced. I do 3d modeling for 3d printing. Fusion 360 recently added an ai assistant. I’d be happy with it but it’s forced into a panel to the right of where object properties pops up. So mousing over to properties brings up the AI pop up if you aren’t extremely careful.

    I’m sure the manager of the AI feature loves that they can show metrics that everyone is bringing up the AI pop up constantly. They don’t care that it’s pissing everyone off because they get their bonus not on pissing off customers but that their metrics look great.

    So instead of being “Wow! This AI helped me fix a problem faster than searching Google.” It’s, “Freaking AI pop up in my way again!”






  • You said this:

    “This necessarily includes the results of that coin flip and the Geiger counter readings.”

    The premise states the computer sets up the boxes BEFORE you enter the room. The OP states he flips the coin AFTER he enters the room.

    The computer cannot change the boxes after he entered the room. The computer cannot know the results of how you will respond to the coin flip because it happens AFTER it has fixed the boxes.



  • There’s the possibility that there’s something else at play that we don’t know, and maybe cannot fathom.

    The possibility that there is something hidden that we are not aware of is why Bell’s Theorem was such a revolution in physics. The experimental proof of Bell’s theorem won the nobel prize. There are no hidden variables. Probability is fundamental, not a result of some unknown process.

    The premise wasn’t that the computer was 100% perfect. It was 99.9% perfect. That is its good enough such that you should assume its correct. The premise could have said 75% and it wouldn’t change anything. Saying 99% makes it simpler for the reader to assume that the computer is correct.

    The computer is not supernatural. The premise does not say the computer is 100% accurate. The premise does not say that the computer can violate known laws of physics. The premise is that the computer knows your behavior.
