https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/fruit-fly-brai... He mentioned a structure and scientists hacked a fruit fly Kenyon organ to process language which it does pretty well, also at MIT.

The approach is relatively straightforward. The team began by using a computer program to recreate the network that mushroom bodies rely on — a number of projection neurons feeding data to about 2,000 Kenyon cells. The team then trained the network to recognize the correlations between words in the text.

The task is based on the idea that a word can be characterized by it its context, or the other words that usually appear near it. The idea is to start with a corpus of text and then, for each word, to analyze those words that appear before and after it.

Is it like inshallah? https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/إن_شاء_الله

if it is God’s will (literally, “if God has willed [it]”

In sarcastic contexts, it suggests that the speaker has no interest in making the future event occur (thus, it will only occur if God steps in and wills it). Unlike the Arabic usage, this seems to be more attested in English than the literal meaning.

I've heard it used in terms of avoiding the evil eye.

I'm doing the opposite. I've been amassing small disposable plastic spoons when I order food for my supplements from various establishments for my supplements, looking for ideal sizes. I like to use the one from coffee shops, the best ones were from the airport. Disposable wood chopsticks can be surprisingly durable as well as long as it's not basilica wood.

What counts as an ideal size/shape/material for your cutlery? I no longer use any metal because I once chipped my tooth on one, and often bang it against my teeth.

This comment and the replies are extremely insightful. Humans are flawed, just because high IQ Newton invented physics doesn't mean he was good at the fomo of the south sea stock. https://pubs.aip.org/physicstoday/article/73/7/30/800801/Isa...

Personally I think it's dilluted the hackers from other sites (like me). But your theory sounds much stronger. A lot of new sites and ideas are not pay to win, they are buy to belong. Crypto, 3D printers, gaming forums, PC hardware forums, AI. These communities manifest free marketing and updates in products to convince you they're good for you to buy them.

I found HN great for some things but you did click this link too. This is a celebrity gossip thread and you joined. I found John walkers site from here didn't know about it. https://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/

'Real hackers' are live on git, maybe twitch. Chill out and listen to what your general peer has to say here and imagine non hackers discussing it. Nobody outside here cares about this drama except Twitter bots. Check out Google trends. https://trends.google.com/trends/trendingsearches/daily?geo=...

Anything is not a useful comment. When? I'm asking for a use case, I haven't seen anyone use them for a specific reason to use Linux. I'm asking about sensors and software that works together better than using it with an MCU

And most of them suck. Imagine if you bought a class of hardware that needed to be swapped constantly, has no QC and dubious reviews, with many "works on my machine" comments saying it worked for them. Little did they know it just reported it was fine and was also broken for them.

The liability for a bad therapist or psychologist is very low, I have never heard of them getting revoked for being bad therapists. If if was true then bad therapists wouldn't exist. I would not be surprised if they ceased to exist in the near future with AI being consistent, and much better quality.

Absolutely correct. The form factor of a Pi zero (2) may be good in a handheld but you can easily get one from China or a PSP and get a great experience.

Arduino? You mean the ide or the actual hardware? It's been superceded by esp32.

So his girlfriend said it therefore he would even though there's no evidence to show he ever did?

Have you used WikiLeaks? When was the last time it was consequencial or noteworthy?

Here's a recent article with Julian assange. https://www.thenation.com/article/activism/julian-assange-wi...

He regrets that WikiLeaks is no longer able to expose war crimes and corruption as in the past. His imprisonment and US government surveillance and restrictions on WikiLeaks’ funding wards off potential whistleblowers. He fears that other media outlets are not filling the vacuum.

No he was not. You think he'd repeatedly do Russian roulette with half the bullets? He had the odds with him with his legal advisors.

Madoff's sentencing is why SBF's parents taught him to disregard the law. If you don't understand the idea of figureheads being important, what would happen if the president was shot, or if Dali lama was chosen by china? America would still keep going as would tibetan Buddhism. The leaks seems to have stopped much more since assange is gone. HN is a platform and I'm sure we'd still exist without it, assange definitely does deserve credit.

Very short sighted thinking. If they beheaded Sam bankman fried there will be a clear message to not commit financial crime, and the aspiration and motivation would almost zero.

The gesture of the freeing these two brave whistleblowers is much more important than you think. Noam Chomsky calls this censorship flak of his five filters.

If you want to challenge power, you’ll be pushed to the margins. When the media – journalists, whistleblowers, sources – stray away from the consensus, they get ‘flak’. This is the fourth filter. When the story is inconvenient for the powers that be, you’ll see the flak machine in action discrediting sources, trashing stories and diverting the conversation.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDMB-4en-PINACA the most common one apparently has been implicated in deaths but there is not any evidence it causes these problems. Deaths were implicated but it doesn't prove it causes it. Since it's on the DEA watchlist I doubt there are enough MDMB-4en-PINACA addicts to seek it out. It's a crappy alternative to the real drug. It's also such a small amount of people.

Snobs don't smoke "bad weed" but if the supply is gone it will be gone. Banning synthetics will easily kill this market, it is a 3rd rate experience that won't be seeked.

Which one and where? Delta 8 is more accessible and available in illegal states and the semi-synthetic hemp derivatives aren't full cannabinoid receptors. The article feels a lot like reading about the internet is insecure, and how it's partly due to iOS 6, and how to fix your phone 3GS's icloud security by installing a program they made.

This is partly due to the spread of cheap and extremely potent synthetic cannabinoids that can cause serious neurological and cardiovascular complications—and deaths—every year.

Source on this claim? What are the current synthetics? 'Nobody' smokes synthetics and people don't even want to smoke semi synthetic hemp (like delta 8), jwh018 hasn't been a problem for nearly a decade. And deaths based on it? Haven't heard of it and the news would have loved that. I haven't heard of a single one, bath salts or mdpv was a small blip of a problem around that era too.
