The premise that "we can't make AGI, but we know enough about the human brain to upload on to a computer" is flawed. Edit: after reading Superintelligence by Nick Bostrom (2014), Ciro Santilli was convinced otherwise. What is flawed is of course just the "extracting connectome with macroscopic probes part". A post mortem connectome extraction with microtome is much more believable. But of course they weren't going to show fake slices of Jonny Depp's brain, are they? Famous actor bodies are sacred! What a huge lost opportunity. On the other hand however, the scale of the first connectome extraction would be arguably too huge to be undertaken by a random pair of rogue researchers. The same would also likely apply to any first time human brain connectome. It would much more likely be a huge public effort, much like the Human Genome Project.

But this film does have the merit of exploring how an AGI might act to take over the AGI might act to take over the world once created, notably by creating its own physical research laboratory. Though it doesn't feel likely that it could go under the radar for 2 years given the energetic requirements of the research. Even the terrorists find it before the FBI!

I also wish they had shown the dildo (or more likely, direct stimulation!) computerized Jonny Depp used to use with his wife before he managed to re-synthesized his body. But you know, 18+ would cut too much profits. Ah, what a shame.

There's a billion simple looking expressions which are not known to be transcendental numbers or not. It's cute simple to state but hard to prove at its best.

Doesn't seem to have any simple built-in mechanism?

Maximum current that can flow across a Josephson junction, as can be directly seen from the Josephson equations.

Is a fixed characteristic value of the physical construction of the junction.

Example: nodejs/sequelize/trigger_count.js

There is of course no built-in support for SQL TRIGGERs in Sequelize, but we can add our own: stackoverflow.com/questions/29716346/how-to-create-a-trigger-in-sequelize-nodejs/76215728#76215728

This is a good company, first they truly helped reduce international transfer fees. They they continued to morph into a decent challenger bank.

Their Wise Interest account was amazing as of late 2023: wise.com/gb/interest/

Instant access with representative national interests and 0.29% fees.

Brick and mortar banks were way way behind in that regard!

E.g. October 2023, Wise was doing 4.87% interest after fees, while Barclay's best option was 1.16% above 5k pounds on the Rainy Day Saver (5% below). Ridiculous!

Update: On November 2023 unfortunately they more than doubled their fees from 0.19% to 0.46%:but it still was a good option to keep cash in.

Matches the quantum superposition probability proportional to the square law. Poor Étienne-Louis Malus, who died so much before this was found.

At least they have a fucking clear course schedule unlike the undergrad.

Ross Ulbricht told her about Silk Road, but then later said he had sold the website to someone else, without really doing that.

As of 2023, she's apparently a photographer with a porny focus (boudoir photography).
