"Der Taunus sollte einst Heimat der weltweit größten Wasserstoff-Flotte werden. Es endete im Fiasko. Die Technik der Züge streikt, Hersteller Alstom ist überfordert, der RMV verzweifelt."

warum zur Hölle sollte ein Zug denn mit Wasserstoff betrieben werden?
(Sorry, bin zu spät dazu gekommen, ich wusste bis vorhin gar nicht, dass es den gibt.)

My feed is only eight hours behind now

my feeds are all over the place. Home feed (people I follow, 8hrs behind) local timeline is about up to date... but occasionally stops.

Notifications have recently started showing me stuff from 18hrs ago... But occasionally catch up.

As much as I appreciate the admins of this instance and all they do.

It might be time to set up a backup account in case it goes under. These problems have been occurring a lot for over a month now.

If only everyone chipped in £1 a month.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams allegedly claimed he had changed his phone’s passcode and told the FBI he did not remember it.

But forgetting your six-digit passcode will not prevent law enforcement from opening your phone.

Old and out of date devices are particularly susceptible to passcode cracking.

The newest Google Pixel and iPhones are your best bet, but even then, it only buys you some time.

Um, no.

Amazing as this is, a fly's brain gives zero insight into human minds.

They are very, very different things.

Human brains are not neatly divided into CPUs and GPUs and RAM and ROM.

The analogy with computation is not just flawed, but fundamentally wrong.

Similarly, modelling upwards from "lesser" creatures, such as flies, is a flawed approach.

Your brain is not capable of feeling anything. Or perceiving it.

Only you are.

"You" are an emergent property of your brain.

in reply to David O'Brien

Yes, the computation analogy is deeply flawed, but the genus "Drosophila" is not much older (or 'lesser') than the genus "Homo". Both are among the most evolved genuses of their respective extant branches.

I used quote marks in "lesser" to try to express contempt for the term.

Sorry if that missed the mark.

It's not about how long-established a species is. It's about claims made with no valid basis.

As much as it pains me as a fly guy, but I'd have to agree with you that this piece is way overhyping the connectome results. That much, I think, is easy to agree on. But zero general value would be going too far in the opposite direction, IMHO.
in reply to Björn Brembs

I bow to your expertise.

But I would suggest that a human 'mind' (whatever that is) is an order of magnitude more complex than a human brain (which we understand reasonably well, though very much incompletely) which, in turn, is an order of magnitude more complex than, for example, a fly's brain.

So my point, I suppose, is that the headline is misleading. You can't draw conclusions about human minds, or thoughts, from animal brains, because they are not us and we are not them.

@brembs

in reply to David O'Brien

If that were entirely accurate, we couldn't learn anything from, say, studying my brain about your brain because we are entirely different individuals.

And yet, we share things while, at the same time, we are different, as you say.

in reply to David O'Brien

I agree that a connectome is not transformative - we've had the C. elegans connectome since 1986 and still do not understand how it actually works, with only 302 neurons.

But the contributions to understand any other brain is not zero, I'd argue. It may be little, but so far we don't know that. It may be a lot?
