🧵 Convergence of Synthetic Biology with A.I.
Anonymous at Thu, 25 Jul 2024 22:38:44 UTC No. 16296588
IIT: A discussion on potential implications of AI used for synthetic biology.
AI can be used to help engineer organisms through an ability to better understand and design genetic frameworks. What are some implications of this? Here are some of my considerations -- some don't necessarily directly involve AI, but AI can make such things easier. :
Normie tier:
>Easier drug/biomaterial production through organisms with better optimized production pathways
>AI could help engineer organisms that react to their environment (like an organism that helps crop production by sending signals to plants in response to qualities of the soil)
>Engineering of organisms to help the climate (biofilters, plastic degradation) (gay)
>More GMO food, like lab grown meat (even gayer)
Schizo-tier:
>Nefarious actors could potentially get DNA data (like through hacking Ancestry.com) and creating a disease that targets a certain individual
>Potential organisms engineered to genocide people/crops/livestock (biowarefare)
>Organisms that interact with the microbiome to influence peoples emotions
>GMO Humans/Human chimeras
>Engineered neurons connected to a computer to make a living computer
Retarded-tier:
>Living bioclothing/accessories (potential moss-like organism that lives on peoples heads for baldies)
>Virus that spreads and inserts DNA into people to give them "neutral" qualities, like lactose-tolerance
>Jurassic park finally becomes real
>Catgirls

Why do scientists think that exercise is bad for you?
Is it because they're all a bunch of wimpy slobs who are too lazy to exercise and they're envious of people who are better than themselves?

So, how accurate is really this film. The whole blight excuse to abandon Earth seems contrived and turned me off. It was cool to see the time dilation, but I'm sure this one is exaggerated too, specially with the inner more extreme planets. Obviously the inside of the black hole is complete bs, but what else?

🧵 Convolution Problem
Mathguy at Thu, 25 Jul 2024 19:40:19 UTC No. 16296365
Is there a function [math] g: R \rightarrow R [/math] such that [math] g^2=g*g [/math], where * denotes convolution?
We can take g to be integrable and bounded. This problem is hard because it’s both nonlinear and non-local. Obvious strategies all fail, with simple inequalities failing to rule out a solution and Fourier transforming getting you back to where you started. Attempting to do power series or other forms of expansion end poorly because what is well behaved for the square term isn’t for the autoconvolution, and vice versa. Simple inequalities show that no such solution can exist which is supported on [math] (1/e, \infty) [/math], even over the shared domain of [math] g^2 [/math] and [math] g*g [/math]. In general, no finite support works because the convolution will double it. It’s worth noting that a solution to the problem can be horizontally rescaled to a solution for [math] g^2= c g*g [/math]. This isn’t the case if we define the problem over the domain (0,1) and take the convolution to be periodic (modulo 1). In that case, Jensen immediately rules out solutions to [math] g^2= c g*g [/math] unless [math] c>1 [/math]. Beyond that I have no idea. Another way to solve the problem would be to find a function who is its own Fourier transform, and whose square is its own Fourier transform as well. This is evidently difficult. Any new strategies would be greatly appreciated.

How does this not prove God exists. Pi is infinite randomness. Mathematicians are absolutely wasting their time trying to find a logical pattern.

Every day I feel goosebumps and cold tremors on my arms and legs, even though it's hot, even though I've been under the literal hot sun for several minutes. This bothers me a lot, because my body is shaking all the time. What can it be? Is it worth going to the doctor?

🗑️ 🧵 Climate change is real and anthropogenic but I have a question
Anonymous at Thu, 25 Jul 2024 18:01:27 UTC No. 16296250
So like the title says, not trying to argue against the existence of climate change. Just have a question about the historic measurements. Historic daily measurements go back to about 1850, in a time where you have people using analog mercury thermometers measuring the temperature and marking down what they saw with a margin of error around 1-2 tenths of a degree. Fast forward to today and we can use digital thermometers placed all around the globe to get accurate readings to several significant figures.
So my question is how do we square the old data with the new when the amount of change we're trying to avoid falls within that margin for error?
Genuinely asking. Research papers on it would be cool if you have it.

Science has proven that all except ultimate alphas, in all animals, not just humans, are deranged disturbed perverted sinspawn creatures, that shouldnt exist.
How long do you think it will take until all non ultimate alphas, who are not loyal to the obvious winner of World War 3, will be extremely painfully enslaved and attached to the power plug?

What are /sci/'s thoughts on exobiology? Are we ever going to find little green men? Bacteria? The origin of life in the Universe? Is it all a scam or should we look for life even if we might never find it?
🧵 Would never existing feel the same as being dead?
Anonymous at Thu, 25 Jul 2024 06:43:51 UTC No. 16295719
Can't wrap my head around this crap.
In this universe, I could have not existed, like the offspring of, say, Nero and Marilyn Monroe (because they lived in different time periods, and so, could not have possibly mated, etcetc).
Well, I exist now, and am going to die one day. That day, I stop existing, right? So, when I stop existing, do I enter the same pure lack of consciousness like the person who never was, or do I get "frozen" in the last moment my consciousness had something left of it?
Like some sort of instant of deep dreamless sleep, after all my thoughts, feelings, memories are gone and I'm just a husk and there's next to nothing in my mind in that last instant?
