Brianna Bibel @biochem_bri Updated updated metabolic pathways poster for peer review before I order them printed for my class. Thanks in advance! PDF: https://bit.ly/bbmetabolicmap JPEG: https://bit.ly/bbmetabolicmap_jpg https://pic.x.com/1grzqomght Replying to @biochem_bri Do not print them on paper. Make it a living tool on the Internet that all can use easily, connected to living resources for deep

Ricard Solé @ricard_sole I found a lot of notes from the first months of 2020 during the COVID-19 confinement. I guess I was pretending to have some control. At some point, I gave up writing notes. It seems such a long time ago. https://pic.x.com/98mfayzqs0 Replying to @ricard_sole I looked into nano-processors that are suspended in

Mutiny In China: Young Chinese are Threatening CCP’s Rule at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShykWKNFMOE I deal with global economics, innovation and balance every day for the Internet Foundation. This video looked interesting. I suggest a global open world, an open future for all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShykWKNFMOE My Comment: Intelligent devices to care for the young and old, then use

USB over UTP cable: Testing Voltage Drop and Transfer Speed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6jk1r3Puzw Thank Ron Mattino: This makes sense, since more people use and rely on low loss ethernet. It is highly optimized. I wish you had tried 100 meters or 20 meters or 1 km. And computer to computer USB peer networking. Richard Collins, The Internet

100 car batteries wired in parallel! at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywaTX-nLm6Y You forgot molten glass, molten salts! How do you charge 100 batteries? 50,000 Amperes at 12 volts is 6,000,000 Volt*Amperes. 6000 KiloWatts 14 cents per KiloWattHour would be $0.14*6000 = $840/hour if you have a 6 MegaWatt 12 volt DC charger, (I am tired, so check my

Flowers @flowersslop Except GPT-4 is around 21 million times bigger than this. Our brain is also magnitudes bigger, more complex, and still more efficient than GPT-4. But at the level of the neurons, both do nothing fundamentally different. And *something* emerges from all this. In both cases. Machines are only as smart as their designers and handlers,

Since the Solar Photography group is using Facebook methods. When any of the group runs into things, it is also a Solar Photography group issue. Is “joining” the same as following? One day it might be useful for the group to use servers that support sharing and collaboration on solar images. I think about things

Mark Riedl @mark_riedl HIVE MIND: I saw an interesting-looking paper on Twitter within the last few weeks that was trying to quantify generalization in LLMs. I didn’t grab it at the time, and now I cannot track it down. Any thoughts on what it might have been? Thanks! Replying to @mark_riedl ( quantify generalization in

Flavio Donato @FlavioDonato82 How can memories persist in the brain when their properties and supporting biological substrates change over time and experiences? Our latest work newly published in @ScienceMagazine proposes that a balance between memory dynamics and persistence is achieved through the divergent recruitment of multiple memory traces established in parallel upon memory encoding. https://science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adk0997

The Otorongo Lodge @OtorongoLodge Another dead Electrophorous varii. Not really sure what did this one in, I can only hypothesize that a bank collapsed on it and remained buried long enough to drown it 😬 https://pic.x.com/8owkk3gvjy Replying to @OtorongoLodge ( “Electrophorus varii” ) has 2,240 entries ( “Electrophorous varii” ) has 2 entries ( “Electrophorus
