But... don't you have to walk to the cab? and out of the cab?

what in the shit kind of unstably fused nightmare is this

the eldritch horrors are leaking out of your regenerative plagiarization machine

The world is complicated enough as is, no need to make it more complicated.

But my dude, that is what conspiracy theories are for.

No no, the DNA is the storage media. You're not putting it in to collect your own DNA pattern, you're adding more DNA molecules that the computer can edit to encode data on.

I use ai when I use search engines. This makes the search engines better.

go on mate, pull the other one!

Elon Musk is not an idiot. He was hired by other rich people like the Saudis to destroy Twitter, to prevent further incidents of public protest organization like what happened in Egypt and the Occupy movement. The degradation of the platform is intentional, and the amplification of right-wing voices helps to chase left-leaning social activists off of the platform. There is no equivalent platform for in-the-moment organization of protests.

Hope and Despair

The torturers, slept; no mortal pain or fear

Marred his repose; the influxes of sense

And his own being, unalloyed by pain

Yet feebler and more feeble, calmly fed

The stream of thought, till he lay breathing there

At peace, and faintly smiling.

from Alastor; or, The Spirit of Solitude by Percy Bysshe Shelley

In the future, you swab the inside of your cheek and then insert the swab into a port on your computer, which squeezes the swab to recover the cheek cells and then processes them. Congratulations, you have added 10TB of storage to your computer.

Further thought: downside - your data can be directly linked to you because it is encoded on your own DNA.

I feel like the vibration is going to induce microfractures in the photovoltaic crystals, no matter how well the panel is protected from debris.

Yeah they can't fight Chrome, they are Chrome.

Ah yes, the evil government system that gets in the way of good people trying to run digital Ponzi schemes and collect ransomware payments.

Bad gubmint.

Sort of... but saying that the government can issue as much new currency as they want is disingenuous and this is addressed later in the video, but it literally says that the tax money is "destroyed"... this is not really correct.

The value of a government currency like the dollar comes ultimately from confidence in the US economy. If the economy produces value, then the dollar represents a piece of that value. If the economy is unproductive (less value is produced) then tax revenue is lower, and less new money can be issued.

So to close the circle, your taxes do pay for something... the government's capacity to issue new money, which it then uses to pay for government services &etc. Saying that "your taxes pay for nothing" is kind of a pointless argument over semantics, because without the tax collection the government would not be able to pay for anything.

Thank you for sharing, I had not seen that. Fucking hell. Nature is scary.

The cruelty is the point.

Is it sexism? It's sexism isn't it.

Well duh. Kind of missing the point though.

What if I hire a dozen people to randomly, individually go and pick all the fruit and bring it to me, and then I make a profit reselling what they collect?

Also connections to nerve cells are not constant. Some connections are strong and the nerve cell is more likely to activate when triggered through one of them while other are weak and need stronger signal to trigger (someone who knows biology can rephrase this part better). so with 50 million connections of varying strength simulation becomes much more difficult.

I don't see why adding weights to the connections would be particularly difficult. Even if the weights need to vary over time or by other conditions, that could be included in the simulation. It might be a bit more complex, but current neural network systems already do variable connection strength between nodes.

The other thing is that 99% of the time the brain respond to outside stimuli. You see something, signal is sent to brain and brain make decision based on the input.

In this case you have absolutely zero input.

This should be very easy - if we're simulating the presence of sensory neurons then we can certainly simulate some input stimuli on them.

Simulate it how? you need an initial state.

I don't see why this would be true, and anyway how do you know that the connection map doesn't already represent an initial state?

Miyazaki Airport was built in 1943 as a former Imperial Japanese Navy flight training field from which some kamikaze pilots took off on suicide attack missions.

It was originally a military airfield during the war, which explains why there are bombs in the ground. Not exactly a comforting thought... I bet it's hard to detect a bomb that's been buried for 80 years and had a foundation laid on top of it.
