Research Triangle, NC, Meetup—Saturday, June 18th, 2 p.m.
I just started a summer position researching scientific visualization. The challenge is to be able to deal with ensembles of large datasets that result from simulations run with varying parameters.
It was much, much worse than that in Florida, where they overbuilt and there was a glut. As far as I know, there was not as much excessive building in Adelene’s city.
Can you please add us as well? link
I am committing to being there.
If you can’t make it at 6:00, feel free to show up a bit late. I promise to stick around until at least 8:30.

I’ll be there!
I don’t actually want to discuss politics. I realize that I hate politics. But I love talking about public policy. But discussing (e.g.) tax policy or monetary policy seems to automatically shift the conversation into politics. And then the yelling begins.
Decision – The selection of a course of action by the player.

It makes for a good story, but I really doubt that’s the case.
I wonder when consciousness evolved in our ancestors? 4 Mya? 2Mya? 500 kya?
In Blindsight, a close relative of Homo sapiens sapiens is described as not consciously sentient but able to intelligently interact socially with humans. This seems unlikely.
The not-conscious ET aliens were much more believable, since they were not a close relative. You got the feeling that their interactions with humans had a Chinese room feel to them.
The default font is much less readable than other fonts...
I prefer sans-serif fonts for reading on any kind of screen. Why not try specifying no font face or font size at all and use the browser default?
Text is too small.
I do not normally notice this, since I have set an absolute minimum font size on my browser. I agree it looks awful under the default settings.
I’m not certain that that book made a good argument for that position. It was after all, fiction.
Is there a serious non-fiction treatment of the question?
Maybe after we all become measurably more rational, we can start to talk about politics without mind-killing?
Under those circumstances, maybe we’ll find that the socialists and libertarians can find more common ground?
Break down the claims of Buddhism and test them individually against evidence. Bring me what’s left.
