Ricard Solé @ricard_sole How complex can cognition be in brain organoids? Since they do not sense or act on their environments, they lack cognitive complexity or agency. Without the organism, the “spherical brain” (my drawing) is a fascinating window to evolution and disease but not to actual cognition. https://pic.x.com/6r4kshpocm Replying to @ricard_sole Jeff’s brain was

Prof. Nikolai Slavov @slavov_n Yale has more administrators and managers than undergraduate students. https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2021/11/10/reluctance-on-the-part-of-its-leadership-to-lead-yales-administration-increases-by-nearly-50-percent/ Replying to @slavov_n Note that I am joking here. Do not take this seriously: Your name hints that you are not from the US originally. Please know that you are not supposed to point out such things. Padding staff is

Peter D Carter @PCarterClimate AMAZON BURNING LIKE NEVER BEFORE at https://x.com/PCarterClimate/status/1830125910017916950 DRAFT: I can only sketch some of the main responses to global climate change shouting. I think I will win my bet that none of the companies or groups will change. Not even when hundreds of millions die. When most lives are cheap, no

Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation: I try to look closely at every advertisement I see – print, video, logo, phrase, image. I saw a brief video that talked about the difference between democracy and constitutional representative government. It seemed part of some political statement or ideas, but I was in the middle of something else

Results of Experimental Studies on Thorium Migration in Electric Thrusters – Doug Codron, Keith Goodfellow, Daniel Erwin https://www.researchgate.net/publication/268479296_Results_of_Experimental_Studies_on_Thorium_Migration_in_Electric_Thrusters My Comments: Thank you for sharing your research. I think it likely the conditions for “superconducting” thermionic/photonic emission are not hard to achieve. Adding nuclear and electromagnetic ionization sources is one practical way to start controlled avalanches.

@DvirGur I had to go to Google Scholar and such sites to find your publications. The links on your site always fail. It recommends clearing the cookies, but that is not a good idea. “Too many redirects” generally means you guys need to look carefully at cookie fiddling and “keep it simple”. This link (below)

Dvir Gur @DvirGur Have you ever wondered how animals like fish, and chameleons rapidly change their color to camouflage or communicate? Our recent work shows that Zebrafish quickly alter their structural colors by changing the spacing between their intracellular crystals using motor proteins Replying to @DvirGur Is there any chance the electric fish works the

Fly with Magnar: Why are so many pilots wrong about Bernoulli’s Principle? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyRx25MSWng @woodpile66 Most folks here seem to say that low pressure exists because the flow speeds up, but that group does not account for why the flow sped up in the first place, or the mandatory physics. I offer that the wing

Prof Van Buren: Intro to compressible flow [Aerodynamics #17] at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDSgUTgcMXg Bad handwriting, use a computer. There are about 5.4 Billion people using the Internet now. Step up your presentations to match, not down to a hypothetical or organization driven “captive class room”. Your visualization are decent, but lack substantially because your drawing skills are
