Oh yeah your post had me really thinking! Probably procrastinated too long today writing my post

Nice site! I'm curious what's the technology that powers the simulations for your research? I'm assuming you're ssh-ing into some shared compute and editing something?

Thanks! I mainly run GPU accelerated simulations. Some people run massively parallel simulations on CPU research clusters (e.g. Archer 2). However accessing GPU clusters is expensive and difficult (you need a large budget) and funders tend to prioritise AI related work. With my limited budget then I run my simulations on two desktop GPU workstations which works well enough for up-to several hundred thousand particles

Very cool! I once worked on a simulation project and I can relate to the pain of having to wait for computations to finish xD

Does anyone have any idea why my post previews show a blank page with 502 bad gateway - the website works fine when you click on it?

I'm quite pleased with this latest post. It's going to become a section of a longer essay hopefully.

New "treatise" (essay). I have attempted to argue in favour of a physicalist understanding of the mind whilst not contradicting creedal Christianity. Bit of a long read tbf
The "P-car" allegory is interesting.
Glad you thought so
HEY! This is exactly the type of thing I was talking about in my post just now!
Thanks for replying :)
Thanks rainight, really appreciate the chance to think about these ideas (or am I just simulating thinking about these ideas). I was slightly obsessively typing away at this on my phone notes app all weekend.
Great article! I have some comments of mine own, but I think I will keep them in case you have any elaboration you plan to make in the future
Thanks duvarki, I think there is definitely more to explore here
