A Striking Difference Between Neurons of Humans and Other Mammals~ neurosciencenews.com/human-neurons-… "Previous studies established that the human brain is like other mammalian brains. We were surprised to find strong evidence that human #neurons are special." #neuroscience #neurology

AI Can Now Model the Molecular Machines That Govern All Life By Dr. Shelly Xuelai Fan singularityhub.com/2021/11/16/ai-… As earth-shattering as DeepMind's recent mapping of the human #proteome was, further developments since then have also been groundbreaking. #ArtificialIntelligence #biotech

A great breakdown of the current #QuantumComputing landscape. RT @FrancoisGuite #computing

nature has actually contacted me for comment about accusations that Sci-Hub is a threat, here is my full response / it is clear that academic publishers care about their money, not about security of other people

Strangely enough, some cosmologists believe a previous, cold dark empty universe like the one which lies in our far future could have been the source of our very own Big Bang. bit.ly/3mUbtCA

RT Larry Sanger Larry Sanger, co-founder of Wikipedia, may be a thought leader in the same vein as Tim Berners-Lee. He was instrumental in creating powerful technology for the public good, & he's still fighting for the public good after his ideas were co-opted by corrupt interests.

Perhaps a significant milestone towards the #democratization of programming. As such technologies continue to improve, they may do for #programming the same thing that personal computers and graphical user interfaces did for computing. zdnet.com/google-amp/art… #disruption

New Chip Rewires Itself Like the Brain. A new sort of hardware neuroplasticity that's already demonstrating potential superiority over "static" circuitry. By Edd Gent singularityhub.com/2022/02/07/new… #Computing #Engineering #NeuralNetworks #MachineLearning

Bob Henderson, @RobertH90430077 , dove deeply into QBism, an interpretation of #QuantumTheory, & its originators. It was a journey that changed him. His telling of the story is also a journey, & the reader can hardly leave unchanged. cc John Horgan nautil.us/my-quantum-lea…

Recent experimental results at Fermilab could really spell the beginning of the end of the Standard Model, although only time will tell. bbc.com/news/science-e… #Physics #StandardModel

Puzzling Quantum Scenario Appears Not to Conserve Energy By resolving a paradox about light in a box, researchers hope to clarify the concept of energy in quantum theory. By Katie McCormick quantamagazine.org/puzzling-quant… #physics #QuantumMechanics #Sciencenews

Fascinating. "The 2nd law of #thermodynamics is among the most sacred in all of #Science , but it has always rested on 19th century arguments about probability. New arguments trace its true source to the flows of #quantum information." By @philipcball quantamagazine.org/physicists-tra…

A Google engineer who is also a Christian priest believes one of Google's language models is sentient. Google has put him on leave. He has published his conversations with the #AI. It is... fascinating, to say the very least. cajundiscordian.medium.com/is-lamda-senti… #AGI #mind #Philosophy

AI learns to write computer code in ‘stunning’ advance: DeepMind’s new AlphaCode outperforms many human programmers in tricky software challenges, representing a major step beyond the previous benchmark set by OpenAI's "Codex." science.org/content/articl… #nocode #lowcode #AI

"This is completely new [. . .] consequences probably far-reaching. [. . .] Tells you much, much more about interactions [for which it is], in most respects, the most urgent goal of today’s #particle accelerator experiments to understand." scientificamerican.com/article/unbeli… #Physics

When it became more and more obvious that computation is built into the laws of physics at a fundamental level, a lot of people immediately jumped to the conclusion, oh, well, the reason that mathematics is useful in physical sciences is that the world is a computer, and we are
