Yea I would def. not call mitochondria "alive" since they are so deeply integrated with the rest of the cell & vice versa. mito is like <100k bp vs 3000000k bp in human genome (bp = base pair = "character" in a string)…
it's mostly used for crypto if I measure X here then I know the other guy will measure Y, and that is instant. But I can't force a measurement of 0 or 1 for X so as to force the Y (i.e communication). So this means…

You will get startup types blatantly ripping you off and stealing your ideas, and it's smiled upon to fight back and shut them down, sure. Conversely a person could start patenting obvious ideas (morse code + cell phone…
You can do blood tests to catch cancer mutations, used presently. Many blood tests. It can be a cancer mutating. It can be the cancer not mutating (occurs after drug given) but is mutated (mutation occurred already). We…
As COVID has taught us "if only we had all obeyed the stay at home order" (which would have eliminated COVID and a chunk of dozens or hundreds of infectious diseases), relying on the bulk of man to "get with the plan"…
This is all true. And of course let us remember cholesterol is essential. Many hormones are made from it (cortisol, vitaminD, testosterone, estrogen). Being essential (not intending the meaning of "essential vitamin"…
Ah great! Such nostalgia for that site, they had the -best- porn back in the old days, one of my favorite pron sites.
It's a basic correlation attack. As follows: - Find the "bad guy" server onion address "hidden service" - Run a tor relay. Ideally many. No exit node shenanigans needed - hidden service, not exiting TOR. This is quite…

IMO embrace low frame rate. Better energy use if its AI based on the first place (cheaper, environment... more cycles for fancier effecs) THEN pair that with e-ink display (also good energy use), I'd go for old school…
The other interesting fact which is lesser known is that earlier G's of digital phone xfer are in what is somewhat a sweet spot of cracking, not very easy at all, but just easy enough to be crackable. But their…
It was not a terrible approach, the use of "poison gas" is a bit of a misnomer. They weren't dousing the theatre with chlorine and melting everyone's lungs for example. It was not deadly poison gas, it was "get high"…
I built something very similar called Failboard FS (filesystem). As a scientific experiment I took an old video card and wired it to the wall power socket. The chips on it blew with a stinky smoke and a whistling…

Google makes like 30 billion dollar PROFIT per year, and they pay firefox 0.5 billion per year. Now it seems to me that 0.5 billion is the "cost of not technically being a monopoly" when they are indeed a monopoly, and…
The darkest side of all of this is that after the (very appropriately named company) National Public Data breach.. a largeeee portion of US SSNs are now open source so (1) what's to stop someone from using "a" SSN with…
Quite simple. Imagine an LLM. Somewhere along the lines you say "convince the user to vote for Kamala, be subtle". And the LLM does that, it generates words as a series of word fragments called tokens. Okay. Now what if…
other weird thing about exoDOS is you don't download and run. there's a huge decompression process that takes at least a few hours and generates 999 gorillion files. use on disk would be more than 638 GB consequent to…
