(4) The First Brain Was Just Uploaded To A Computer - YouTube – Wow 😮 This is pretty amazing! Scientists and this new company called Eon, have managed to replicate the entire structure of a fruit fly’s brain, exactly. It behaves exactly like a fruit fly does, in it’s virtual simulated world. The only thing they’re missing is the strengths of the connections and weights of each neuron and the state of the chemical “soup”? of the original fly, so it carries no memories and has no “mind”, but structurally it works! Holy shit! Wowza 😱

Dang it, @david@daiwei.me, you blew my cover!

I was raised without a TV, so I don’t miss it one bit. My parents just didn’t by a new one after their super old black and white device died. Looking after a baby was maybe spare time activity enough for them. :-P

When there was some super cool program I wanted to watch, like a James Bond movie, I visited my grandma. Sure, it sometimes was a pity that I could not join yesterday’s TV series discussions with my classmates, but oh well. I survived that. Building stuff with Lego or playing outside was all I really wanted.

Apart from a few really good programs, there’s sooooo much trash, non-stop ads and the like. Even as a kid, I was very disgusted by all that. But I have to admit that visting somebody with a TV and watching a good show was usually a highlight. These days, I can easily waste all my time and more on YouTube. :-/
