#1511 · Dennis HackethalOP, 24 days agoThe toppings were done cooking much faster than the dough and started burning a bit toward the end.
Improved in #1515 but I saw a video where someone par-baked the pizza and tomato sauce and then put the cheese on later.
#1508 · Dennis HackethalOP, 24 days agoPresumably, I need to get the oven hotter. I could try moving the steel right underneath the broiler while preheating.
I have since bought a thermometer gun so this will be easier to figure out.
Second attempt. Better shape, better taste due to more cheese and salt and possibly higher heat.

Results:
The center dough was paper thin while the crust was a too thick.

I need to stretch the dough better so it’s more circular.

Next time, I could turn the broiler off. And if I have the steel on the top rack, I could maybe move it to the middle, but that could take time and let too much hot air out of the oven.

> An example I have previously given is the flickering flags computation in the tv show (books) *The Three-Body Problem*. This computation depends on a mind defining states and logical relations. I am not familiar with this example, but that sounds like an inversion of the real relationship between reality and consciousness. See Ayn Rand’s ‘The Metaphysical Versus the Man-Made’. Certain types of computation give rise to the mind in the first place, so I don’t see how the mind could come beforecomputation.computation.↵ ↵ Or are you saying there are *certain kinds* of computation that require a mind?
#1498 · Dennis HackethalOP, about 1 month agoI think you run into circular dependence if you exhaustively try to account for brain function by information processing. Even Claude Shannon’s definition of information depends on a «mind/perspective» defining a range of possible states. The world devoid of any perspective would have infinite states and systems depending on how you «view the world».

It’s not meant to be exhaustive. I’m not saying the brain is a computer and only a computer. It does other stuff too but that alone doesn’t mean it’s not a computer.

Explain that Veritula cannot help with inexplicit ideas
12 unchanged lines collapsedVeritula works best for conscientious people with an open mind – people who aren’t interested in defending their ideas but in correcting errors. That’s one of the reasons discussions shouldn’t get personal. Veritula *can* work to resolve conflicts between adversaries, but I think that’s much harder. Any situation where people argue to be right rather than to find truth is challenging. In those cases, it’s best if an independent third party uses Veritula on their behalf to adjudicate the conflictobjectively.objectively.↵ ↵ Veritula only works for *explicit* ideas. For example, you may have an inexplicit criticism of an idea, but Veritula can’t help with that until you’re able to write the criticism down, at which point it’s explicit. (The distinction between explicit vs inexplicit ideas goes back to David Deutsch. ‘Inexplicit’ means ‘not expressed in words or symbols’.)
#1288 · Knut Sondre Sæbø, 4 months agoIf we use Claud Shannon’s framework of understanding information as reducing uncertainty, a light switch doesn’t contain information. But the problem with all kinds of information is that it is dependent on how you subjectively define states and uncertainty. Information is always relative to a certain «perspective».
Superseded by #1289. Knut, when you unmark an idea as a criticism, remember to ‘neutralize’ the old version.
