  • A human brain model would never get us to a super computer, which is their intended goal.

    Our brains have about one exaflop of processing. The NVidia B300 has 15 petaflops of processing. Corresponding to 0.015 exa, you’d need 66 of the strongest GPUs on the market to match the processing power of one human brain.

    That’s before considering context, current estimations would put the human brain at 2.5 petabytes of storage. The former B300 has 288 gigabytes of VRAM. Corresponding to 0.000288 of one human brain, the earlier expectation of 66 landing flat at 0.019 the storage of a human brain.

    Can arguments be made not all brain capacity is at VRAM at all times? Most likely. But context windows is the primary bottleneck, not compute

    Our brains are absolute monsters, we’d gain more from understanding how we can have this powerful of a machine on so little space. The bigger breakthrough would be brainbased processing of software, but I’ve not heard of anyone going that route - Probably because it’s not feasible











  • Yep, xenophobia went up globally following the financial crisis of '08.

    Sure America was the big trigger, but no country did anything to guard themselves from the risk ongoing at the time - And in Europe mena immigrants was the bogeyman written about in the media…





  • The thing is contamination pollutes upwards, so if leafy greens have 1 mg of radiation per daily intake. The meat from herbivores would be something like ten times that amount and carnivores would be ten times the contamination of herbivores.

    We’re seeing this effect with micro plastics and fish, the higher up in the food chain a fish is, the more micro plastics they have
