The Bayesian Conspiracy
208 โ€“ Snakes On A Brain: Eve Theory of Consciousness v3 with Andrew Cutler

That makes sense.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
208 โ€“ Snakes On A Brain: Eve Theory of Consciousness v3 with Andrew Cutler

What I'd like to hear about his next example was because he talks a little bit about typed and untyped programming languages.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
208 โ€“ Snakes On A Brain: Eve Theory of Consciousness v3 with Andrew Cutler

But he says, you know, here's here's a simpler version.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
208 โ€“ Snakes On A Brain: Eve Theory of Consciousness v3 with Andrew Cutler

Two plus two equals four is true.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
208 โ€“ Snakes On A Brain: Eve Theory of Consciousness v3 with Andrew Cutler

And so you can put all that in parentheses here.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
208 โ€“ Snakes On A Brain: Eve Theory of Consciousness v3 with Andrew Cutler

and uh if you want to run it the reason i was i was uh distracted a moment ago was i just opened up the console in the browser here um and you can just write javascript directly and the only what i had to do was just monkey with a smidge because he's just using equals instead of equals equals which is the syntax that one equals is assignment two is checking for equality um

The Bayesian Conspiracy

And you can actually just cut and paste this, adding those extra equal signs and it comes back true.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
208 โ€“ Snakes On A Brain: Eve Theory of Consciousness v3 with Andrew Cutler

So, yes.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
208 โ€“ Snakes On A Brain: Eve Theory of Consciousness v3 with Andrew Cutler

All right.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
208 โ€“ Snakes On A Brain: Eve Theory of Consciousness v3 with Andrew Cutler

Valid.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
208 โ€“ Snakes On A Brain: Eve Theory of Consciousness v3 with Andrew Cutler

Right.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
208 โ€“ Snakes On A Brain: Eve Theory of Consciousness v3 with Andrew Cutler

What's fun about that is then he what he tries to get at is like the quotation is not the referent.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
208 โ€“ Snakes On A Brain: Eve Theory of Consciousness v3 with Andrew Cutler

If you want to make sure that like we're not confusing what we're talking about, we can put quotations around the things that we're talking about.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
208 โ€“ Snakes On A Brain: Eve Theory of Consciousness v3 with Andrew Cutler

Right.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
208 โ€“ Snakes On A Brain: Eve Theory of Consciousness v3 with Andrew Cutler

The fun thing that it was just a nerd thing that jumped out at me is that if you put quotes around two, two and four and true, it doesn't come back true because you're comparing strings at that point, not numbers.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
208 โ€“ Snakes On A Brain: Eve Theory of Consciousness v3 with Andrew Cutler

Right.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
208 โ€“ Snakes On A Brain: Eve Theory of Consciousness v3 with Andrew Cutler

Yeah.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
208 โ€“ Snakes On A Brain: Eve Theory of Consciousness v3 with Andrew Cutler

And so as a matter of, you know, computer science and of thinking, it comes back false.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
208 โ€“ Snakes On A Brain: Eve Theory of Consciousness v3 with Andrew Cutler

I thought that was just kind of a fun little thing.

The Bayesian Conspiracy
208 โ€“ Snakes On A Brain: Eve Theory of Consciousness v3 with Andrew Cutler

But that is really cool.
