Planetary Boundaries 🌏🌍🌎

This Monday, the Guardian had a piece that contained a great ultra-short summary of the planetary boundaries.

It labels them in alternate, more easily understood terms than what we did in our paper - and gives their state in just a few words.

I think it's really well done.

Maybe this is more historically correct on what was going just before 2020s?
But behind paywal! Other refs?

,Electron microscopy can in theory reveal all the neurons within a brain, but the labour involved meant that for many years the complete reconstruction of the C elegans
nervous system was a one-off. Therefore, the only widely applied methods have depended on sparse labelling, which stochastically labels subsets of cells.
Recently,…’

By the way, unlike what the piece says, Murrhy and Seung did NOT "have the idea to use those images to identify and map the connections between each visible neuron, creating a connectome".

That idea had been floating about the field since Brenner and his C. elegans connectome, and those in a position to execute were the groups at Janelia with discretionary HHMI finding, like Rubin, Bock and myself. And we did.

What the Seung lab did was capitalise on the published EM volume of the adult female fly brain to apply more effective image registration and neuron segmentation approaches than the ones tried so far at that point by the Fly EM Project Team at Janelia. Synapses were detected by Julia Buhmann in saalfeld's lab at Janelia as well. The research groups led by Seung, Jefferis (at MRC LMB) and Murthy then put in the gargantuan effort of proofreading to deliver the published connectome.

Totally missed this. Appreciate your insight though. But yeah science communication is really hard. And now I need another coffe ;)

Sunday slow rereading on #neuroscience #drosophila #flybrain #electromicroscopy #connectomics #omics

Holy Molly forgot this top notch quotation!?

,There is a before and after connectome—B.C. and A.C.’

@albertcardona referencing a well-known quote from #columbiaun #TheoreticalNeuroscience Larry Abbott

with this follow-up:

,It’s the end of the beginning’

Lack of thirty party implementations could be attributed to external circumstances…

Apps sources are on their public repos, then reproducible builds, and verified installations, etc. Should come as well…

Yet as your post remarks, after switching to usernames, no rationale for still requiring mobile/virtual/landline number for registration.

Web answer for registration num requirement, is so lame:

What an extraordinary composition mixing classic guitar with some blues tonalities…
Plus top notch guitarist, accelerating rhythm, pausing volume…

On blind listening, for few moments almost sounds like an electric guitar!!!
What do you think? because of Luthier, the strings, the composition, her performance, all, or else?

Nice to know!

Yet for me cycling… slowly getting back to regular weekly road cycling routes…

Totally recommend that Murakami short funny book, in which explains his transition from Tokyo Night jazz club owner, to successful writer and early morning runner, training for NYC marathon, and more…

Looks much less corporate to the the one I found in wp ;)

Q:
1 There is a formula, or just follow book tables ?
2 Works for both solo and group training ?

@frescosecco

EIM as in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_Is_Medicine ?

@knutson_brain

Also his classification of criticism in 2 groups is funny:

, …critiques are diametrically opposed to each other. I’m calling the first group the “wing flappers” and the second the “cognitive pluralists.”’

Better start with definitions for: intelligence, understanding, cleverness, modeling, computing, et al. ;)

Then also: agency, behavior, consciousness,…

Current split between experts if those systems are intelligent or else, will persist for decades, until ???!!!

Large Language Mistake

Current AI models are not on the path to artificial general intelligence

Update: One week after The Verge published my essay, it was cited in a federal district court decision to support the proposition that LLMs do not reason the way that humans do.
