I'm looking for some texts or philosophers who have talked about the "quantum of free will".
Specifically the weighted ball conceptual model of possessive will and the freedoms illustrated between the ball's environment and it's internal information (i.e. the weight's pos) I think it was on a hill in one example.
I can't remember if the ball has to be opaque or not for the informational theory and what copyability means for the model.
The worst kind of open source user is the ones that say "I donated to an open source project in the past"
As if $10 a couple of years ago means my completely unrelated project has an open contract to develop or fix whatever the free support request wants
My dudes, open source is an ongoing expense, not a one time "donation". If you believe in this industry, invest properly and consistently. Lots of people do!
(for all my fellow foss hackers, put the purse away, you guys are good, high five)
The motivation was simple. "Why am I paying star market $6 for two frozen bananas dipped in ok #chocolate"
In the words of goodness gracious me: "I can make chocolate #banana at home!"
So I did. Buying a 👩🍳 block of decent semi sweet 🍫 and using up some ripe 🍌, I halved, sticked and 🥶 on a 🌭 bun pan. After dipped in melted 🍫 once cold.
The problem... They're really f-nom-nom-inally good. Way, way better than the store ones. And I have doomed myself to always know what is possible. 🥺🤯 #desert
I watched #Atlas last night on #Netflix recommendation. i.e. J-Lo battles robots in a mech suit
I enjoyed it. Well, I enjoyed it while I also programmed on my second monitor. What I can say is that the plot is quite thin; the contrivances are quite contrived.
But what I saw was a more interesting film of childhood trauma and how it drives us as adults. The acting was critiqued on imdb, but I thought it was subtle, damaged, and the best part of the movie's themes.
The thing about the theme, is that it's clearly about Atlas being abused as a 9 year old.
Manipulated by a adult (robot AI or not) to do something intimate they clearly don't understand. And that leading to a life of guilt and shame.
It's important that the film say out loud that it wasn't her fault. I would have liked it to make it clearer that Harlan was a manipulative abuser even before being set free, but the writing can't quite get there.
I'm slowly making my way through a 8 thousand line python addition to #inkscape's #python library for parsing text and font elements in #svg properly. It's important and useful, but it's also a lot.
I'm not sure how to say "please run pylint over your code because my eyes hurt trying to read this". without sounding like an ungrateful jerk. 😅
Are there any videos for #PyConUS? I saw a bunch of comments about the keynote and other talks about they seemed really interesting, but I can't find anything after the fact.
@doctormo if you're registered you can watch it in the online platform. (In person registration gets access to the online platform too).
Otherwise videos are usually uploaded to YouTube a little later. (Last year it took 2 months after the conference)
I just fell down a phronix rabbid hole with some pretty nasty pieces of work claiming all the problems of the world are due to the existence of codes of conduct, outreachy, and people's basic humanity getting in the way of programming. In this case Gnome, but it didn't really matter to them what person or organisation had betrayed their view that racism would disappear if we'd let everyone be racist.
