Yeah... I find myself questioning the "Smart" part.
No, I'm serious. This is a recursive problem & you can't possibly calculate the answer.
It's that simple. See comments if you don't get it.
- but these "smart" people are tricked into digging themselves into worse & worse justifications for pretending it's possible, up to Derek fucking denouncing free will...!
Astronomers are capturing video of a black hole for the first time
Astronomers are working to capture the first-ever video of a black hole — a groundbreaking effort that could shed light on how these enigmatic cosmic objects behave and offer clues about the origins of our universe.

#Thanatosis is the #behavior of #animals to #pretend being #dead in order to deter #predators. This behavioral response to a threatening stimulus is the result of #evolution. The thanatosis procedure can be a rather simple retaining in a motionless position, but it can also be rather #complex, as in the North American #opossum, not only playing dead, but even emitting a #foulish cadaver-like #smell out of its #analgland. #adaptations #behavior

Taser Chess Teaches Valuable Lessons the Hard Way

From the famous Skinner boxes to many modern video game mechanics, animals and humans alike can learn through the addition or subtraction of various rewards and punishments. And it doesn’t only impact simple actions either; [Everything is Hacked] took this idea to the extreme, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6ddNFnwDTA" target="_blank">using painful electric shocks to teach himself to avoid making blunders while playing chess</a>.</p>
<p>This positive punishment system uses a medical device called transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) to deliver an electric shock to the skin. The electrical jolt is routed through a custom-built, conductive chess board where each square is isolated from the others and controlled by its own relay. The pieces are conductive as well, so if one is placed on a square where it shouldn’t go a relay will switch on to quickly provide the behavioral modification. The control logic is provided by a Raspberry Pi running the Stockfish chess engine, and it keeps track of the locations of the positions of all the pieces by using MX switches in the base](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/116/135/788/359/380/563/original/a29e284eace0a9ba.png)

🐕🧠 Most #dogs learn commands like "sit" or "stay," but a rare group of "Gifted Word Learners" can pick up the names of hundreds of toys just by overhearing human conversations.
New research suggests these clever canines aren't just smart – they're exceptionally social, using their toy-sharing habits to better understand us.
