#AbdulElSayed may not be as bad as his explicitly #Zionist opponent, but it's a very low bar and nothing to be excited about. He is not a #socialist and openly says so. In fact, he is a #capitalist, a #landlord in #Dubai. While the #UAE sponsors #genocide. Are people in #Sudan less #human than people in #Michigan? Will you #sacrifice Sudanese on the altar of #American interests? And are you any better than #neocons if you will? #USpol #USA #senate #elections #democrats

@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz You sent me down a Wikipedia rabbit hole.In late 2013, researchers in Japan and Germany used the K computer, then 4th fastest supercomputer, and the simulation software NEST to simulate 1% of the human brain.From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_simulation#Human According to the table at https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/compute/tpu-8t-and-tpu-8i-technical-deep-dive , the TPU 8t does exceed the speed of that entire supercomputer (assuming those petaflops are comparable). God damn. We have the compute, but there's still no detailed connectome of the human brain to begin fully simulating it like we've done with the C. elegans. And how would that even look like? Do we give the brain rights? Fascinating
