Spoony the Pussy One: Life is in the Render Queue

[Guest]

Reminder that Noah doesn't even understand end to end encryption, so much for MUH COMPUTOR SCIENCE DEGREE

Computer Science degree specialising in cryptography

[Kugelfisch]

Absolute bullshit. That's the very first time he's ever mentioned cryptography. I'm also sure he hasn't gotten an actual degree, just some shallow shit others do as a supplementary course. He couldn't code Hello World in Basic.

What does randomness have to do with free will? Is he that desperate to avoid taking responsibility for his faggot behaviour?
Plus, some things in quantum physics might just actually be random. I'm tending towards us just not understanding the causes enough but you can't know for sure.

He thinks it's an edgy mind-blowing take like "your so-called god doesn't exist" or whatever other Foamy the Squirrel shit he's recycling.

What is his avatar supposed to be? A half-robot with flowers flying around him?

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

It's supposed to be some kind of Two-Face arrangement between Spoony and Dr. Insano.

It's not enough that he is Mr. Computer Science Degree. He has to be Mr. Computer Science Degree With Specialty In Whatever I'm Currently Tweeting About

An edgy mind-blowing take triggered by a fucking physics simulator, no less.

If she ever learned how to walk, she could be a pro-wrestler. But not in the way she thinks.
There's a specific role for her--called "enhancement talent."

People like her have delusions that they'll go into Wrestlemania and be some beloved world champion. In reality, she's likely to be the fat slob who gets beaten in under two minutes, to make one of Vince's latest models look like they have some kind of ability and competence in the ring.

As Spoon regresses, so does his number one sycophant. Can we have Cuckson back? In comparison, that guy was sane.

Cuckson is back to his Protected Tweets safe space.
Thankfully, he's still Moving on with his life.

It may be hard for him to believe, since his knowledge of gaming doesn't extend past 2003. But yes Noah--affordable phones can play games now, in programs called "apps." And you're not going to believe this: libraries of code with physics engines exist beyond the ones found in your Java and C++ classes.

Spoony just has to be technically correct about things. If he loses even that small little bit of dubious value, he is absolute nothing. And has no point to his existence.

Off-topic philosophy sperge:

SpoilerShow

The free will argument is ultimately bullshit anyway. Much like human rights, even if it doesn't exist, we have to act as though it does. Whether I have free will or whether "I" (my perception of myself) is a conglomeration arising from multiple systems acting to produce a delusional state, it doesn't matter. I can only act upon what is put in front of me. The purpose of life is to propagate itself. That is also the purpose of intelligence (namely, to solve problems which would prevent passing on of genes.) Any other meaning you must create or find for yourself. Complaining about a supposed lack of free will is pointless. Go bitch to your DNA about how bad they fucked you over, I guess.

I have never met someone who genuinely believes free will does not exist, who does not also act as though free will does exist. Daniel Dennett is a great example. He makes argument after argument in favor of no free will. But then he goes on twatter and sperges about how Orange Man bad. Well if there's no free will, how can anyone freely select in favor or against Orange Man? How can you castigate those who believe in God or who believe in conservative viewpoints? They have no freedom to choose and their beliefs are a consequence rather than a selection.

That's the ultimate failing of the free will argument. If free will does exist, we should act as though it does. If free will does not exist, we should act as though it does. Therefore, my conclusion is the question is irrelevant. The answer is irrelevant. Free will exists because we say it does, even if it does not.

So is Spoony trying to prove randomness doesn’t exist in order to blame someone for himself being a massive failure?

[Le Redditeur]

Computer-generated true randomness doesn't exist, because computers are finite-state machines. Doesn't mean good enough pseudo-randomness can't be achieved, though - all you need is a good enough shuffling algorithm, and a seed with enough noise that it can't be easily predicted.

What programmers do when they need true randomness is convert randomness from physical phenomena into data - for example, radioactive decay or random atmospheric noise (the approach random.org uses). Of course, when you do that, you lose performance, since you can't generate more random data per second than the physical phenomena itself can generate (and you have the overhead of converting that into data).

Noah the Computer Master is talking out of his ass as usual. Fucking git.

[Kugelfisch]

Free will is a weird concept. It's a bit like if we live in a computer simulation or if there are other universes we can never detect or interact with. Kinda pointless to contemplate.

Can you chose to get up right now and take a walk around the block? I'd like to hear a strong argument as to why I couldn't have that choice and why it wouldn't be a free one.

That's what I'm thinking.
