AKA "Most regulations are written in blood."

I don't believe that a debate is a place for "original research". Especially given the time constraints of most debates.

I asked this question several years ago[0], and had some very interesting responses. The long and short of it was that yes, they are real, and you can make them yourself. The basic concept being that different metal oxides have different resistances; so if you make a "sandwich" like metal_1-oxide-metal_2 you can use current to move the oxygen ions from one metal to the other. The resistance of the sandwich changes as you do so, and stays set in between applications of charge, as well as staying set if the probing current is not too high. I recall making one was a fun afternoon project.

My personal definition:

Wisdom =

- Context Recognition & Heuristics

- Knowledge Utilization

- Social / Interpersonal Context Recognition

- Emotional Intelligence & Control

The translated source document implies that they already mark the drywall with QR codes. Considering all the other markings I've seen on drywall, this should be trival to add at the factory.

Is it possible to use the information from the florescent flashes to build a truth table for individual neurons over time?

Parents and young children are not peers. Parents need to understand that their role changes as the child grows older.

Except for rent, which shows no sign of stopping it's climb in cities and their associated suburbs.

To progress from insect brain maps to this within a few months is nothing short of amazing. I realize that these projects were started some time ago, but now I wonder how long until we have a full map of the human brain?

Is there some sort of service that I can pay to have this done? That's not an unreasonable amount of money to spend for that.

At the bottom of the article:

> Next Steps

> We will continue to improve connectomics reconstruction technology, with the aim of fully automating synapse-resolution connectomics and contributing to ongoing connectomics projects at the Max Planck Institute and elsewhere. In order to help support the larger research community in developing connectomics techniques, we have also open-sourced the TensorFlow code for the flood-filling network approach, along with WebGL visualization software for 3d datasets that we developed to help us understand and improve our reconstruction results.

Last week a technique was published that might be able to accomplish this in a reasonable amount of time:

One of the authors even stopped by for a chat here about it.

Just today they came out with the full image set of a fruit fly brain (http://temca2data.org/). Is the output of this something that could be fed through you algorithm, and if so, how long would that take?

I guess that was the case, it all looks unflagged now. I'm really impressed with your work, one question, though. What do you believe are the biggest bottlenecks to speeding up your work? How soon could we see this applied to say, millimeter sized brains?

Why are all of jmrko's links dead? They seem to be putting out useful information.

Why so, may I ask? I loved my Beige box, but I could use a different perspective.

Berkshire Hathaway is a private business entity, not a public government with whom we all are required to interact with.

Dang. Would containerization solve this, or at least help mitigate the damage?

Rachel's stories are always interesting, I always find myself learning new things from them, and I have been for over a decade now. They are a great reminder of my sysadmin past, now that I mostly do DBA work anymore. However, I do wonder if I should be sending her aspirin or tequila as tribute at times...

A long time ago I bought a serial terminal and a whole bunch of serial cables from them. Along with a Cisco PIX. I still have all of that somewhere in my garage.

In the 90's I recall seeing a Cray supercomputer there at one point. I'm assuming that it was not functional, but it did have nifty bench seats.

You should probably look into the legacies of Jim Crow laws, redlining policies, sundown towns, and the history of rural property seizures, if you want to find the answer.

> Thousands of years of human thinking have determined that the prospect of death is an integral part of the human experience and may be the thing that provides life meaning. I don't know about anyone else, but the idea that the coming natural death of me and probably everyone else in this thread is on par with a genocide is upsetting

To me, this sounds like the naturalistic fallacy. Is there a better argument than this one?

What steps would you suggest taking to fix these historical problems?

I don't understand. Can't these and other sample search terms be added to the regression tests before new versions of the algorithm are deployed? Then you'd likely see the errors in time to correct them.

It's concentrated 90's memes, straight from the Gen X tap. Can be hazardous in large doses.

I may be dense here, but what's the difference between a cheat sheet in your head and actually knowing the topic?

Did this combine with the prefetch situation? It always seemed to me that the files were doing some sort of inspection of state as the dialog box progressed. Even things like Ultracopier seemed to run into this problem.

> How long do you get to keep your job in academia if you point out the primary drivers of black misery in the US (out of wedlock births, drugs, and violence) are self inflicted?

It's almost as if the sins of the past affects the lives of people in the present somehow.

I feel, after having worked with kids (boys and girls) with Asperger's, that we as a society have historically missed (or dismissed) the signs of Asperger's in girls, and have done them a disservice in life by not helping them with those challenges. This book opened my eyes to some of the specific problems that girls (particularly young ones) face:

I realize that only recently have we begun treating boys who are on the spectrum, and I'm happy about that, but we need to do better with girls and young women as well.
