This is if we take the retina simulation as a model. As the present, however, not enough is known about the neocortex to allow us to simulate it in such an optimized way. But the knowledge might be available by 2004 to 2008 (as we shall see in the next section). What is required, if we are to get human-level AI with hardware power at this lower bound, is the ability to simulate 1000-neuron aggregates in a highly efficient way.

VILE: Exhumed is an unjust casualty in Steam's sweeping censorship campaign

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-20 18:02:03

Over the past few weeks, thousands of video games have been banned, removed and delisted from Steam and Itch.io. The justifications for doing so have been almost comically vague, and at least one highly anticipated title is now unable to be sold despite containing nothing objectionable. It started in early July, when payment processors including Visa, Mastercard and PayPal established new regulations concerning the types of games they would allow to be sold on the PC gaming platforms they suppo

Potatoes Evolved From Tomatoes, Study Reveals

That’s it. That’s the news. Genome biologist Sanwen Huang knows a thing or two about potatoes. But his latest potato breakthrough may be his most shocking yet: potatoes are descended from tomatoes. In a Cell paper published today, Huang’s team reports that the modern potato likely emerged about 9 million years ago, when tomato plants married the etuberosum, a potato-like species common to Chile.

Now, he’s giving everyone good reason to believe that his ploy to send rebate checks at a time of rising inflation is just a political stunt.
