= Whole brain emulation
{synonym}
{title2}

<Wikipedia> defines <Mind uploading> as a synonym for <whole brain emulation>. This sounds really weird, as "mind uploading" suggests much more simply <brain dumping>, or perhaps reuploading a brain dump to a brain.

<Superintelligence by Nick Bostrom (2014)> section "Whole brain emulation" provides a reasonable setup: post mortem, take a brain, freeze it, then cut it into fine slices with a <Microtome>, and then inspect slices with an <electron microscope> after some kind of staining to determine all the synapses.

Likely implies <AGI>.

Alternative to the <Lorentz gauge>, but less used in general as it is not as nice for <relativity> invariance.

What happens when https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL[the underdogs] get https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1780599/what-is-the-meaning-of-posix/31865755\#31865755[together] and try to factor out their efforts to beat some https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA[evil] dominant <Microsoft Windows>[power], sometimes <Linux>[victoriously].

Or when https://github.com/facebook[startups] use the cheapest stuff available and randomly become the https://github.com/google[next big thing], and decide to keep maintaining the open stuff to get features for free from other companies, or because they are <Linux>[forced by the Holy GPL].

Open source frees employees. When you change jobs, a large part of the specific knowledge you acquired about closed source a project with your blood and tears goes to the trash. When companies get bought, projects get shut down, and closed source code goes to the trash. What sane non desperate person would sell their life energy into such closed source projects that could die at any moment? Working on open source is the single most important non money perk a company can have to attract the best employees.

Open source is worth more than the mere pragmatic financial value of not having to pay for software or the ability to freely add new features.

Its greatest value is perhaps the fact that it allows people study it, to appreciate the beauty of the code, and feel empowered by being able to add the features that they want.

That is why <Ciro Santilli> thought:
\Q[Life is too short for closed source.]

But quoting Ciro's colleague S.:
\Q[Every software is open source when you read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_language[assembly code].]

And https://computergraphics.stackexchange.com/questions/7809/what-does-gpu-assembly-look-like["can <reverse engineering>[reverse engineer] the undocumented GPU hardware APIs"], <Ciro Santilli>[Ciro] would add.

While software is the most developed open source technology available in the 2010's, due to the https://www.vox.com/recode/2019/6/24/18715421/internet-free-data-ads-cost["zero cost"] of copying it over the Internet, Ciro also believes that <open knowledge>[the world would benefit enormously from open source knowledge in all areas on science and engineering], for the same reasons as open source.

Cheatsheet on <HTML>, <Cascading Style Sheets> and <JavaScript>{child}.

Old cheat on separate repo: \a[web]{external}.

Now moving to either:
* separate files under: \a[web-cheat/] for the boring stuff
* subsections under this section for the more exciting stuff!

Examples under:

* <JavaScript browser example>{full}

Some <reverse engineering> was done at: https://twitter.com/hackerfantastic/status/1575505438111571969?lang=en[].

Notably, the password is hardcoded and its <hash> is stored in the JavaScript itself. The result is then submitted back via a POST request to `/cgi-bin/goal.cgi`.

TODO: how is the SHA calculated? Appears to be manual.
