#Irony

Sort of like how social.domain.tld can point to a social server, smtp.domain.tld can point to a mail server, etc.

@evan I prefer it. DNS and the Internet are more than just the Web, so I like the idea of having a subdomain that can point to your webserver.

@evan We both believe that beings have rights and dignity. You seem to believe that there theoretically can be machines that are beings, and I don't

@evan This isn't about denying rights and dignity, this is about whether AI are actually *beings* (and thus whether rights and dignity apply). About the being-on-the-wrong-side-of-history thing — lots of good things have been on the wrong side of history.

@evan I'm saying AI is not conscious, not humans.

@evan Human-equivalent AI being treated equivalently to humans... many don't believe AI can ever even be alive, no matter how human-like it may appear.
We can arrange physical particles, but consciousness itself is something fundamentally beyond physics. And so AI is consciousless.

@kylebanks I think it adds a natural element to it.

@royal Good Morning by Mandisa! 😀

@kyle You remind me of myself. There's always an overabundance of interesting things to do!

@CM30 Big fan I see :)

You know, if PCs came with embedded #FPGA​s it might be possible to actually, more or less, 'download more RAM'. #dedotatedWAM

@codrusofathens You get it!

It is 1:00 AM and I am still awake. Not because of programming, though. Well, often times it is indirectly programming. I also have a cold (random)

In my case, the issue is struggling with writing computer programs when I should be doing schoolwork. Given that I'm a Computer Science major, this interestingly means that the very thing that could theoretically be my downfall is supposed to be my second greatest success.

In #college, talent is naturally being able to excel in your major, whereas wisdom is not playing videogames all the time so that you have the time to study.
A dilligent student does better than a lazy naturally skilled one.

@evan Maybe I should start. Seems like a good way for people to get to know me.
