  1. That sounds like living amongst the ruins of the Roman Empire
  2. Two possibilities can be true at once. I look forward to seeing both
  3. This was probably a tastier meal than you can get in Somerset now.
  4. This is also available at https://caemldatasets.org/ with no access restrictions.
  5. I'm actually not bantering.
  6. I thoroughyl expect the Deparment of Government Efficiency to recommend U.S. Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) be shut down to save previous taxpayer dollars.
  7. There's a lot of other interesting biology besides propagation of electrical signals. Examples include: 1/ Transport of mRNAs (in specialized vesicle structures!) between neurons. 2/ Activation and integration of retrotransposons during brain development (which I have long hypothesized acts as a sort of randomization function for the neural field). 3/ Transport of proteins between and within neurons. This isn't just adventitious movement, either - neurons have a specialized intracellular transport system that allows them to deliver proteins to faraway locations (think >1 meters).
  8. But, you can get absolutely destroyed on life insurance and, just as critically, long-term care insurance. Genetic discrimination is perfectly legal in those domains.
  9. It’s a multimillion dollar game of “Where’s Waldo”!
  10. There is a moral imperative for some of these films to get leaked.
  11. I know it’s not a phone, but a few friends and I built this for the Newton MessagePad back in 1998-9 with exactly this vision.

  12. The new HPC Graviton3E instances (https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/hpc7g/) are pretty great for CFD and simulation workloads.
  13. Yes. I wrote the web server for it back in 1998. It was actually pretty cool since we also integrated a public "wall", calendar and contacts sharing, instant messaging, and even a federated discovery protocol for other Newton servers.
  14. There's also evidence of mRNA transmission (packaged into capsids) between neurons!
