Parachutes also haven’t been scientifically proven to work. They’ve never been double blind tested.

I learned to program in gw basic when I was 12. Also spent hours typing in listings from magazines. Fun times.

Moved on to turbo pascal after a few years and got into assembly from there. Didn’t get to c++ until college.

I want a “dumb” phone that can run signal. Just text, calls and signal. No camera, no other apps. It’s time we split the data honeypot back up in to smaller pieces.

Oh I’m not basing that on the 10% mumbo jumbo, just that data capture usually over captures. Distilling it down to just the bare functional essence will result in a far smaller data set. Granted, as you noted, there are new neuron types still being discovered, so what to discard is the question.

Given the prevalence of intelligence in nature using vastly different neurons I’m not sure if you even need to have an exact emulation of the real thing to achieve the same result.

That’s capturing everything. Ultimately you need only a tiny fraction of that data to emulate the human brain.

Numenta is working on a brain model to create functional sections of the brain. Their approach is different though. They are trying to understand the components and how they work together and not just aggregating vast amounts of data.

They are different hues though. Some a bit more yellow, others a bit more blue.

Color blind people will love the selection of different shades of green.

The constitution applies to the government, not the American (or other) people. “Government shall pass no law…”
