What Is It Like to Be a Bat?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-17 11:48:27

1974 philosophy paper by Thomas Nagel Thomas Nagel argues that while a human might be able to imagine what it is like to be a bat by taking "the bat's point of view", it would still be impossible "to know what it is like for a bat to be a bat". "What Is It Like to Be a Bat?" is a paper by American philosopher Thomas Nagel, first published in The Philosophical Review in October 1974, and later in Nagel's Mortal Questions (1979).

As great as having a fitness wearable that doesn’t distract you with another screen is on paper, I bet there’s one thing about gadgets like those made by Whoop that people aren’t as excited about—subscriptions. If you love what Whoop is putting down with its screenless fitness bands but don’t want to pay another subscription in perpetuity, Polar might be there to give you just what you need.

Motion Sickness Sufferers, Rejoice: Scientists Say This Might Actually Help

Normally, I’d start this sort of article by saying something along the lines of, “Everyone knows how horrible it is to feel motion sick.” But that’s not entirely true—plenty of people can text, read, and do all sorts of things in a moving vehicle without feeling the slightest bit nauseous. If that sounds like you, you’ll have to trust me—a chronic sufferer of motion sickness—when I say that it wholeheartedly sucks.

Google is changing how Extra Dim works on the Pixel 10, and it’s so much better

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The new Pixel 10 series integrates the “Extra Dim” feature directly into the main brightness slider, making it easier to access. This removes the need for a separate toggle, as Extra Dim now automatically activates when the brightness slider is at its minimum. While the feature was tested on older Pixels, it is currently exclusive to the Pixel 10, though it may come to other devices later. Google’s new Pixel 10 series introduces some surprise display upgr

Intel’s CFO David Zinsner shared new details about the company’s recent deal with the Trump administration, which gave the U.S. government a 10% equity stake, at a Deutsche Bank conference on Thursday, according to reporting from the Financial Times.

March 14, 2023 As a relatively new member of adult society, and an absolute infant of the business world, I didn't think much about bank choice. I figured: you put money in, you take money out, they're all the same. I also figured a local branch of a global bank is just a fungible tentacle of the giant banking machine, so also... who cares.

New Group Claims AI May Be Aware and Suffering

For years, the concept of AI consciousness has remained on the fringes, with all but the most powerful proponents of the theory being laughed out of public life. In reality, opponents point out, the current generation of AI is nothing more than extremely complex statistics — detecting patterns in training data like written materials or imagery so subtle that it can reproduce similar patterns going forward. That can produce a compelling imitation of consciousness, but there's no reason to believ
