<0> Ceran, what the task you want the GA to solve?
<1> verbie, hi
<2> Magnus_RM: hi!

<0> hehe
<4> lol
<0> there are a few 'sciences' that are by people who are perhaps ambitious beyond their talents :) in all fairness it does happen that something substantial happens anyway but there is more what could be termed idle speculation in those disciplines. psychology when it turns to technical matters often a bit out of its league
<0> often is
<0> fMRI scanning of the brain is a bit like reverse engineering a cpu from the sound it makes on an FM radio
<5> Got a better method, Dan?
<6> for?
<5> <0> fMRI scanning of the brain is a bit like reverse engineering a cpu from the sound it makes on an FM radio
<7> the key phrase being "a bit" :)
<8> quiet in here tonight
<9> yes
<8> uh-huh
<8> so, anybody working on any interesting projects?
<9> just ai stock market analysis here
<8> aha
<9> well, ai does have practical uses, you know :-)
<8> indeed
<0> Sotek, think it up instead of reverse engineering
<0> besides I don't believe it can work to reverse engineer us. the whole soul business and all
<5> except that's nonsense, even within the context of your ***umption.
<5> okay. ***ume we have a Mystical Free Will. Fine.
<5> People's behaviours still exhibit commonalities.
<5> there's still going to be a reason behind it.
<5> and there's correlations between physical structures and those commonalities.
<5> it's not unreasonable to conclude that in that case, those correlations really do mean causation.
<5> Mystical Free Will or not.
<5> unless the brain is a completely irrelevant lump of meat ... but in that case, why do people with brain injuries exhibit loss of function?
<5> clearly the brain is, at the very least, required for translating the soul's desires into action, as well as providing sensory input to said soul.
<5> thus, if you want to learn how human vision (for example) works, why NOT study the brain?
<5> and why not try to reverse-engineer?
<5> it's a technique that's worked in everything we've tried it in so far.
<10> mhm
<10> works quite suboptimal sometimes
<10> a computer is somewhat different to the brain ... emulating the brain somehow lacks performance
<7> *fundamentally* different architecture
<7> computer has separate CPU and memory... no distinction in the brain
<7> no such distinction, i mean
<7> but what's this got to do with a computer?
<10> athena: brain has diffrent ways of signaling things .. some have very high latencies
<10> its very slow but m***ively parallel
<10> and each processor is extremely simple
<11> sup sup
<12> anyone know how long it takes for a .gem uploaded to a RubyForge project to appear in gem list --remote?
<12> sorry, not looking where i was writing
<12> of course you don't ;-)
<1> I have put two instances of my chat robot in one channel (a special channel for them), and i gave them separate names, so one is called Verbie and the other one Chatie. Now they chat with eachother.
<2> Magnus_RM: conspiracy theory states a system wich control our actions. in other words, that the project is creating a world wide system to inspect your internet actions from a cerntral point.
<2> ops, ok, take a break verbie, you have enough to do with Chatie
<13> yall heard of glial networks ?

<14> anyone trade on interactive brokers here, I need some help
<0> qbert, nope. looks like a debate paper more than a final result
