Imagine if we could turn our bodies into perfect spheres, and then adjust genetic beauty preferences to match it.

Seems like a heat dissipation problem

Cool. I wonder how long until we are able to steal anti-cancer genes from whales.

You know what else is well specified? LLM improving on itself.

I wouldn't describe intelligence as well specified. We can't even agree on what it is.

Same here, waiting for response destroys any focus I have had.

It's kinda obvious if you think about this:

- How come we have 2 eyes but see one 3d world?

- We hear sounds and music coming from various directions, but all of this is created from 2 vibrating eardrums

If a drug has an 1% chance of 100% effect, it will look pretty weak in those studies.

IMO it's pretty clear that depression is a symptom of many independent issues, so it's really lame that we don't have a more accurate way of diagnosing it.

The goal is to tackle it in every way. The medicines are supposed to be supportive and not the solution. More often than not people treat it as a solution.

Thats why they are eventually tapered and discontinued once you are able to be on your own.

Yet. Apple forces a specific browser engine on all apps, so they have the means to block patreon website too.

I wonder what kind of physics hides in interactions between waves and neurons (I know it's a cursed topic).

Like the large scale, nearly speed-of-light continuous electrical field fluctuations that influence long-distance discrete neural firing and may be the basis for conscious experience?

Curses!

It's cursed in the sense that every spiritual grifter loves to mention it.

May quantum be upon you!

You introduced dualism yourself by making distinction between body / process.

I heard Michal Levin talk about dualism recently. He has an interesting point: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Qp0rCU49lMs&t=6210

We have those eureka moments, whene good idea appears out of nowhere. I would say this "nowhere" is intelligence without sentience.
