Today I wrote a budget description for a scientific proposal that an AI would not be able to match. The reason? My knowledge of the social context.


A curiosity-driven question: What was the role of the scribes?


Basically taking dictation and/or editing her written work for clarity. She couldn't write legible English, all her spelling was a complete mess, but she could speak it fine. Dyslexia is strange.


They could be "alive". There is little margin to explain the binary aspect in Amy other way.


How would them being 'alive' explain the binary aspect?


A form of interaction?


What’s wrong with gravity?


I am a scientist and over the last years I stopped using notebooks for notes... I lost something, you connect deeper with your thoughts by writing with hand. Now I occasionally use A3 papers when I see need, but still. I will take a notebook tomorrow!


I haven't looked into this, just responding intuitively, but aren't we trained to learn better by writing by hand because of our upbringing. If the next generation stops hand writing and starts typing from early childhood education, wouldn't it be the same for them?


"New research has analyzed brainwave patterns in both children and young adults while they wrote by hand and as they typed on a keyboard. The results revealed distinctly different brain patterns between the activities, leading the researchers to suggest learning is more effective when it is accompanied by handwriting."


What about that strage propulsion system announced by caltech a few years back? Sorry really I have no more knowledge.


Both comments indirectly highlight a point: we know little about the behavioural economics of scarcity.


What do you mean proto-pizza? The whole Mediterranean and MENA regions are full of similar stuff. Why to look at it from our westerner modern mindset?


I perceive their main point could be made with a single focus on the 3rd option you suggest. Other options might fall out of their aim?


Gingko biloba supplements are great, but you can feel how they activate your psychological weaknesses.


This is in the thin line between telepathy and network science, and provides an interesting basis to research further. Would there be a possible link to quantum entanglement?


The article discussed several experiments conducted on bats.

Bats possess the remarkable ability to echolocate using high-frequency waves, similar to sonar. Just as humans do, bats ascertain the direction of a sound wave by comparing the time intervals at which the sound reaches each ear.

The crux of the matter is that, much like humans, bats can demonstrate exceptional sensitivity. One intriguing experiment I would consider involves determining the distance at which an isolated bat can remain from its colony while maintaining synchronized brain waves. Given that bats can echolocate, their auditory sensitivity is incredibly high. If their synchronization is based on vocalizations, and the synchronized activity of scores or even hundreds of bats amplifies the signal to which they're attuning, what is the maximum distance a bat can be from the synchronizing colony and still participate in this collective rhythm? Could it be 10 feet? Or perhaps 100 feet? Or even 1000 feet? This would be fascinating to explore.


I think we're taking the fact that the article says "similar" a lot and running too far with it. As they say, it only makes sense that similar areas of the brain would activate when processing similar stimuli. That's not telepathy or entanglement.


Spooky action at a distance cannot transmit information.


Since I am an ignorant on quantum, please would you mind providing a reference?


There is this: https://physics.stackexchange.com/a/602518, or do you want a paper? I don't have a paper link, I am not that deep into it.


I can dig from here, thanks a lot!


Only if you're a Traveler.


No.
