Wild boars in Bavaria contaminated by radiation from Chernobyl? Do you have any citations/links?
I don't really understand what "meaning" means in this context, and indeed for the brain itself.
I could see some sort of classifI cation scheme.. like "this group of neurons maps many to few outputs".. these "amplify signals from the inputs", as something valuable.. and indeed it seems that training an ANN to answere questions about functional units would be a good Avenue to explore. But asking for what it means is pointless, and seems more like an ontological question, for which the only answers are things like "it means that vision works" or "it means that slight imbalances in dopamine don't kill the brain".

I think trying to understand how it works isn't as important as duplicating these functions in hardware in order to produce an oracle.
While true, the technicality of the case means that Swedish prosecutors want to interview a Australia person on UK land inside a Ecuadorian embassy.

But since Embassies are considered sacrosanct, it is the Ecuadorians that exercised their right to dictate the rules of the interview rather than the three other involved nations.

While I'm not trying to play down the consequences of Chernobyl and Fukushima (though they're of vastly different magnitudes), there are some really unique guided tours that head into the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. You can even spend the night at a hotel [i]in[/i] the Zone, luxuriating in the height of Soviet-era hospitality...for the proletariat, anyhow. There are some truly hauntingly beautiful photographs[0] that highlight the very real human cost to the disaster, one that could have been prevented.

I love travel photography, so it's always been something that's high up on my todo list, though I'd prefer to go with friends (hard to understate the awkward silence that follows "Want to visit Chernobyl with me?") at some point. Tours avoid the problematic areas, and there were obviously a ton of workers going in and out to work on the New Safe Containment building recently so it's not like it's a complete dead zone. If you look at this chart of recorded radiation levels[1] at interesting Pripyat/Chernobyl landmarks from 2009, you'll note that while you'll want to stay the hell away from some landmarks, the uSv/hour recordings at the places tours visit are comparable to daily exposure to natural background radiation in various regions or a transatlantic flight.[2][3] Thousands visit each year, though I'd probably suggest screening your tour options carefully.

Of course, I mentioned the plan to my mother back when I was 18 and I still hear about it from her when we disagree nine years later :). Some people just have an odd sense of risk aversion.

Assuming all the images reported by the BBC were what they say they were, Facebook handled the case very poorly, especially the part where they reported BBC journalists to the police. The least Facebook could have done was to acknowledge the journalists' role in being proactive about reporting abuse, have a human review the images and delete whatever was illegal or against their ToS.

This incident raises the question of how a company like Facebook should deal with people reporting content. There is no concept of community moderation in FB where specific users are moderators and can deal with reports of abuse. Maybe facebook should consider community led moderation efforts until the bots are ready to take over. Community led moderation efforts (not specifically dealing with reports of abuse) generally work very well for large communities where the company building the product does not have the bandwidth to deal with moderation. Some examples that come to mind : reddit, stackoverflow.

> WHO report doesn't agree with actual impact

Hmm...so you think the WHO report is lying? Or did you misread it?

> Business-insider

Hmm...this is the first paragraph of that Business Insider article: "The scientific debate is ongoing over whether congenital birth defects can be linked to radiation from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster that happened 30 years ago this month."

So on the one hand you have the WHO saying something backed by 30 years of observation and analysis of the data, and you contradict that with a Business Insider article saying "we don't know".

I think that one thing you are missing is that radiation is not the only or even primary cause of birth defects or cancer. This is one of the things the WHO reports dig into. For example, roughly and from memory, the economic/psycho-social situation brought on a strong increase in alcoholism, which increases the chance of cancer and birth defects.

So once again, saying that the mental health problems exceed the (direct) radiation problems is no way of saying that there are no problem. It is saying that the mental health problems were sometimes severe and in any case exceeded the problems directly attributable to radiation.

> Citation needed, though you did mention 'low radiation doses'.

The WHO site has reports roughly every ten years after the accident. Each time they downgrade the estimate for radiation effects. Once again, that does not mean there are no radiation effects. I have other references in my other comments.

Also, yes, this is for low dosages. If you were in the crew that went into the reactor core you were a walking corpse, immediately.
Without Google Maps, or functional equivalent, or do you ever manage to find your way anywhere? When I think about leaving the getting rid of my phone, my first thought is that not having maps would suck. I planned a bus trip from Point A to Point B yesterday, and without a phone, that would have sucked.

And I like Lyft a lot. It'd be a pain to get rid of that.
Lightspeed comes back for 4th helping of $1B+ with MuleSoft
they also push those platforms as their only game platform. and try to discourage devs from using other platforms.

Valve isnt trying to discourage devs from using windows. Windows is still their main income source. Linux only devs aren't going to make valve money during the transition to windows. The goal is to build the game library on linux so it is a valid competitor.

Also, they can't really make a ton of special OS level APIs, since they are trying to keep things generic. they dont want to fork Linux, they want to maintain compatibility. I mean, open is the entire premise of leaving windows. And if you mean higher level APIs, there's things like: https://valvesoftware.github.io/steam-audio/ one of the top things in porting a game, is that directX covers more than just graphics. opengl + SDL2 covers most of it. steam audio makes it so you can write code once and have it work everywhere.

So yeah, they are working on making APIs that make it easier for devs to release linux/SteamOS games without needing the player base already there, because linux "just works" with the middleware.

The short of it is: they are actively doing a lot of stuff to advance linux gaming still, just a lot of it is behind the scenes now and aimed at devs or not directly steam related (you dont see the fact that they hire mesa devs through steam updates).
For a non-physicist who's wondered why string theory imagines 10 dimensions--which seems like a totally arbitrary number--the short video above gives a nice visual explanation of why it should be 10 dimensions and not some other number.

Playing with my son (2014)
That's not the criticism he's making. He's saying to get to a functional adult brain you must have a few cells that work together, then a fetus brain, then a baby brain, then an infant brain, then a toddler brain, etc all the way to an adult brain and all the care and learning needed in those stages to make it all work.

You need the morphology and structures that happen in nature to get the structures and functionality needed to properly simulate a brain. We simply don't know about enough about learning, development, brains, and consciousness to just plug into a simulated adult brain and make it all work. We can only follow the path nature has laid out.

I'm sure you can skip some parts like fetal stages, but we develop language at a very specific range of ages using specific techniques. We can't skip the language acquisition stage and then expect our simulated brain to magically know language. We can't skip the angry "me" stage of a toddler and expect the mind to have self-assertiveness. We can't skip the sexual and social awakening stage of teenhood and expect the mind to understand complex social concepts and sexuality, etc, etc.

The only scenario I can imagine out of this problem is a per neuron copy of a working brain on the cellular level. I imagine this isn't, or won't ever be, in the cards for practical reasons. Or if you could someone divine the algorithms that create consciousness, assuming this is even possible on a transistor based machine, then that would also be a work-around. Right now we can't do either, so following nature's approach is the probably the sanest way forward.

I wouldnt be surprised if the first AI ends up being more a biological 'computer' than anything having to do with x86 instruction sets and transistors, but that's just a guess on my part.

I've always seen that referred to as "4K". I know that in cinema 4K is slightly larger, but for monitors quad-1980p is called 4K.
Right, but uh... The vast majority of positions Glassdoor cares about are salaried positions which don't track hours. They're exempt from overtime, as well.

It also seems to me that that signal would show up weakly in the data because it wouldn't vary the immediate effect on apples-to-apples salary, only on promotions and possibly referrals.

So I think your complaint is specious and the inclusion of a totally unrelated data point from a radically different dataset is either very misguided or profoundly disingenuous.
The problem I have with this video, is that while I find it amazing, someone could create a video about 15, 20 or 5 dimensions, and it would still make sens in my mind, with the right explanations.
I stopped using org-mode for a time after having invested a lot of time in learning all the cool stuff you can do because I felt like it was overkill and I was trying to do too much with it and organizing everything was becoming a chore. If you look at all it can do, it has so many capabilities (outlining, gtd, wiki, blogging, ebook publishing, presentations, time tracking, etc).

Recently, I came back to it just to use for code/programming notes and instead of trying to organize all the code into source blocks I went the other way and added in my own comments and questions in blocks that can be toggled on/off around the code that's there. Now the only org syntax I really use from org-mode is `#+BEGIN:` blocks for comments/questions I can quiz myself on and occasionally headlines when I want to organize something because it's in the way of reading the plain text. If I gave advice to someone new to it it would be to start with just plaintext notes and only add what you really need. You can quickly go overboad once you are trying to figure out how to do footnotes, file linking, exporting w/ images, source code execution, etc.
Funny how we both asked exactly the same question. I wonder if there's a niche for making phones which just have the basics + Maps and Uber/Lyft. Perhaps Uber or Lyft should try to make such "devices".
What helped me personally was buying phone with smaller screen - iPhone SE have all the features of bigger phone I've might ever need but due to 4 inch screen I tend to use it as little as possible. For me it's more private communication device than internet machine - that what phone was suppose to be.

It's close enough to get results. Nobody is going to put a sandwich from the local sandwich shop into a bomb calorimeter to figure out how many sandwiches they can eat and still lose weight.

If you're going to get hung up on the term calories let's call them approximate calories (or ACs) instead. If I eat mostly the same foods all the time I can use reasonable guesses to get the ACs in each food. Foods I eat infrequently will probably have a greater deviation between my ACs and the actual calories but that doesn't matter much because I don't eat them very often. Foods I eat frequently will probably have less error and the error doesn't matter much as long as I'm consistent with the numbers.

Let's say I decide I want to lose weight. I can start off with the general rule that for a male of my age, build and activity levels I need about 2500 calories a day to maintain weight. Since I want to lose some weight I'll set my daily AC allowance at 2000. After a couple weeks I check how the weight loss is going. Am I losing weight too slowly? Drop the ACs a bit. Am I losing weight too quickly? Increase the ACs a bit. Keep checking and adjusting every couple weeks until I'm happy with the weight loss.

This approach works in the real world. I do weigh and measure some of my food but if I had to weigh everything down to the last gram to make sure I ate exactly 1947 calories per day for ideal weight loss I'd quit pretty quickly.

Coal burning also produces significant radiation, enough to have an actual nuclear plant shut down on safety grounds. All sorts of nasty stuff is trapped in coal and it all come out when the carbon is burnt away.

I havent seen anyone do the math, but given the amounts of coal involved i would expect more radiation comes from coal plants each year than a yearly fukashima-type event.

More times than not protein fusions work just fine for the desired definition of 'work'. If you are trying to tune the very last efficiency out of an enzyme, or push one organism's survival efficiency past another's, then yeah smashing domains together is not the way you arrive at an evolutionarily polished machine. However if you need to test or create new functionality it seems to work just fine. Biology is extraordinarily robust. A common technique is to combine these to approaches - build out a rationally designed functional protein by fusion, then run it through a few rounds of directed evolution to have the organisms themselves iron out the kinks. This strategy has been very successful.

Just smashing GFP onto every protein in the yeast proteome resulted in ~80% successfully turning green without noticeably affecting the yeast growth.[1] Check out eCD4-IG - it's four components fused to become an extraordinarily effective anti-HIV drug. It is of a different kind and a different order of effectiveness then the small molecule drugs of the 20th century.[2]

I say we impose the same "tough standard" on everyone.
Sure. It's kind of hard to understand without being a regular consumer of Japanese television like the NHK. But essentially, they run a lot of segments and short documentary pieces focused on the plight of residents evacuated from the area, focused on how they just want to go back home/return to normalcy(entirely understandable). This is then framed against the backdrop of people concerned with the safety of returning to the region or "exaggerating" scientists blocking their return or creating the social context in which they're being mistreated.

Only rarely is it addressed that this situation was created by a mixture of government corruption and willfull negligence. Or that the problem is still entirely unresolved and many other Japanese reactors are at risk for similar catastrophic events.

You have no reason to trust anyone. Michael Pollen and Gary Taubes (to name two writers) show how nutrition recommendations that are considered trustworthy cannot, in fact, be trusted and are often perverted by special interests or just wrong.

But if we use reputation is a proxy for trustworthiness (and we all do, for luck of time and resources to verify every since thing ourselves), then Seth Roberts has the credibility and reputation - he's prof emeritus of the Psych department at Berkeley (which is not nutrition, but his work did touch on similar issues with rats) , the paper about what inspired the diet contains dependable (by standard metrics) references, and while it is not an independent or double blind study, there are lot of independent testimonies of success and failure, and they seem to track the 80% success quite well. One of the problems with this diet is that there is no way to make money with it (except for writing a book ... which he agreed to do after giving away all the info for free), which means studies are unlikely to happen in a reasonable time frame.

The traditional understanding of metabolism-at-large, by the way, is incompatible with a lot of data; in the sense that while it reasonably describes a good percentage of the population a good percentage of the time, there are way too many repeatable counterexamples (some of which, especially the peer reviewed works of Robert Israel and Michel Cabanac, are referenced and elaborated on in the paper).
Yep, tracking pixels are among the oldest forms of internet surveillance, predating the far more aggressive and intrusive JavaScript companies use today. They're one of the reasons why most mail clients don't load images by default. They only give information on page loads, not obsessive behavior tracking, but they're harder to block.

They're why I block doubleclick.net, google-analytics.com, etc. in my hosts file rather than just blocking their JavaScript.

Congress begins rolling back Obama's broadband privacy rules
There are risks, certainly, but even the exclusion zone around Chernobyl is under ongoing re-evaluation with growing pressure to open up more of it for various use, as the main risk in large parts of it currently is not the overall levels of radiation, but 1) poor mapping of areas with higher concentrations, and 2) the risk of disturbing particulate or releasing material e.g. through forest-fires or stirring up dirt that may turn out to be more radioactive than expected.

Consider that even the Chernobyl plant itself continued generating electricity until 2000 - the remaining generators were shut down one after the other, but people were working at Chernobyl all the way through. Several thousand people work in the exclusion zone at any time, and several thousand more worked at the plant in the 14 years from the accident until its closure.

That's not to say none of them will suffer health risks, but the exclusion zone was set as large as it was largely because we didn't know how to manage it, and didn't know how to clean it up, and didn't know what the long term effects would be. We know a lot more now, and the indications are a lot less scary than the initial reactions.

It's now to the point where there are even proposals for agricultural use in the zone.
