Are bears so smart because they eat all that fish
1 reply omitted. Click here to view.

they eat fish for a few weeks when salmon swim upstream, they don't eat fish rest of the time

1. The Categories
Let [math]\mathbf{T}[/math] be a category representing time intervals (days/weeks of the year).
Let [math]\mathbf{F}[/math] be a category of food availability (Salmon, Berries, Roots, Small Mammals).
Let [math]E: \mathbf{T} \to \mathbf{F}[/math] be the "Eating" functor that maps a specific time to a specific food source.
2. The Salmon Run as a Natural Transformation
The claim is that "eating fish" is not a constant state but a specific mapping.
Let [math]T_{\text{run}} \subset \mathbf{T}[/math] be the subcategory of the "few weeks" when salmon swim upstream.
For all [math]t \in T_{\text{run}}[/math], the functor [math]E(t) = \text{Salmon}[/math].
For all [math]t \notin T_{\text{run}}[/math], [math]E(t) \cong \text{Berries} \oplus \text{Roots} \oplus \text{Other}[/math].
3. The Morphism of Diet
In category theory, if bears ate fish all the time, there would be a natural isomorphism between the bear's total diet and the set of all fish.
However, the user is arguing that the morphism [math]f: \text{Bear} \to \text{Fish}[/math] is only a split monomorphism (an embedding) that exists exclusively during the object [math]T_{\text{run}}[/math]. Outside of that specific temporal window, there is no mapping to the "Fish" object in [math]\mathbf{F}[/math].
4. The Conclusion (Q.E.D.)
The "Smart Bear" theory fails because the product of [math](\text{Fish} \times \text{Bear Intelligence})[/math] only exists in the fiber over [math]T_{\text{run}}[/math]. Since [math]T_{\text{run}}[/math] is a tiny slice of the total year [math]\mathbf{T}[/math], the bear's "smartness" cannot be globally attributed to a local morphism.

Taking strolls in the woods significantly improves the mental health by reducing stress hormones like cortisol, lowering blood pressure, and easing anxiety or depression.
Bears do that all the time.

They leisurely wipe their backsides on bunny rabbits. But seriously, they have a repressed mind because they have to hibernate for months and need to get their fats up. Sounds autistic with the math. Are you in?.

I've set up a bioinformatics toolchain that I run on my arch linux machine.

The workflow is managed by two shell scripts, one does a fetch, and is called by the other that runs the tools.
you input the organism name in the command, then it runs for a long time and outputs reference genomes, annotations, filtered protein sequences, designed backbones + sequences + predicted structures, validation results, logs, and a README summary
The steps it goes through and the tools are:
Genome download (RefSeq preferred to GenBank to clustered fallback) + header cleanup
Quality control (adapter trimming, basic stats) BBTools (bbduk)
Repeat masking RepeatModeler, RepeatMasker
Gene prediction: BRAKER3 for eukaryotes (OrthoDB + optional RNA hints) or Prokka for prokaryotes
Protein extraction/filtering (longest isoform, ≥100 aa prok / >200 aa euk) gffread and biopython
Backbone generation with RFdiffusion (de novo or motif-scaffolded)
Sequence design using ProteinMPNN (8 variants per backbone)
Batch structure prediction with ColabFold (AlphaFold2)
Remote BLASTp validation against nr (top hit recorded)
Functional renaming based on BLAST inference
Markdown report
(managed in Conda envs)
The toolchain automates the entire process from a name through reference genome retrieval, quality control and annotation, protein extraction, AI-driven de novo protein design (backbones and sequences), structure prediction, BLAST-based validation, functional renaming, and generation of a clear Markdown report. Also an electron gui for directing other programs to visualize the output, making queries in a search bar, and a fallback 3dmol.js viewer.

How would that be interesting to a biologist, seems neat for a data hoarder but usually as a biologist you try to figure out a protein or a pathway, predicted TFs, binding domains, homology to other known proteins, atac-seq + rnaseq under different conditions of gene of interest are quite useful and you don't save that data.
As far as I understand it most genomes people work on have been annotated better than your pipline and the ones that hadn't will usually struggle with not enough homology to be useful.

Perfectly reasonable, makes complete sense.

But fire isn't a physical thing in the same way as the others. Things clearly cannot be made out of fire?
>Earth is an element
But you can clearly just look at dirt and see that it's composed of many different little bits of things. It clearly has smaller components, which means it obviously cannot be the smallest unit that composes other things

Elemental thinking makes sense if you are willing to put yourself in the mindset. It's an abstraction and philosophical representation of the world not an explanation. Why would it matter that earth is made out of different things? Those different things are all made out of earth. The same with the Chinese metal etc.

Initial axioms:
To grow as a human, one must self-reflect.
Let the extent of self-reflection be R, then:
R ~ T (R is proportional to T, where T is time spent on self-reflection)

Calculations:
T=t-w-s-r (time available for self-reflection is nothing other than life time minus time spent on work, time spent on sleep, time spent on recreation)
We assume t-w is a constant, as a person doesn’t have much power to change their life time in a positive direction and their work time in a negative direction. However, we must immediately infer that unemployment = personal growth from the above equation and axioms provided. As proof is trivial, it is left as an exercise to the reader.
r=k/s, as the less one sleeps, the more time they spend on escapism.
There is no strong correlation between s and w, as one who sleeps poorly just works the same amount of time but less efficiently and takes more breaks which is r, not w.
Differentiating T with respect to independent variable s yields:
dT/ds=-1+k/s2
Obviously it is DNE at s=0, but that does not interest us, as s>0.
-1+k/s2=0 to find relative extrema:
k=s2
s=k^½
Let’s find a second derivative to see if it’s max or min:
-2k/s3 < 0, at s=k^½, so it’s a max.
So:
sr=k

Uhhh, are you sure Qualia isn't just a hallucination or representation of the inner machinations of the brain? Free will is not real and the illusion of free will is created by the brain. The brain is basically just an AI that is entirely dependent on non-random physical phenomenon like electricity and chemical signals. There is no proof free will or qualia is even real.

We are just a byproduct of the natural physical shit happening in the brain that evolved to simulate intelligent choices and feelings are just a hallucination that overrides the fake choices lol.

both body and mind, it seems we are a ship of theseus, and yet...
the most interesting thing to me is how impossible it is to find the 'me' inside my brain, the feeling of being a 'me' is still impossible to unsee
the more you look into it, the more you see how everything in your actions and thoughts are completely spontaneous.
i think there is a good chance that some of the people who became big names in the eastern traditions could actually break free from this illusion

like those optical illusions that you see movement even even though you know it is a static picture

You see, the fruit, it expanded the minds of the apes. It may have been a fruit, a monolith, or both. If you eat a computer chip and the current from your body activates it, it could begin to alter your genetics. Eating hallucinogens may have triggered a epigenetic change resulting in neural and cranial structure.

As someone who has worked with DNases for over 30 years, the only conclusion you can come to when you see this much residual DNA left in shots is that they want it there... Yes, they perform some kabuki theatre to convince the regulators they are trying to get rid of it but alas... Since they got a silver star for participating in the nuclease ritual, they can now call the DNA a "process related impurity". Its not a process related impurity when they fail to disclose it (SV40). Its a contaminant. And when they run out and purchase cancer companies after injecting billions of people, it becomes a deliberate mass poisoning of the population.. After all, they cannot claim incompetence when their own patents declare the oncogenic risk and they intentionally designed PCR assays to under measure it.

Yup. Everybody who took "covid vaccine" was injected with a cancer-inducing machine. Deliberately. xD

In this new PLOS ONE study (n=106 term placentas, mostly vaccinated mothers), spike protein was detected in 29% (31/106), predominantly in fetal cells: Hofbauer macrophages (fetal immune cells, 77% of positives), syncytiotrophoblast, trophoblasts, villous endothelium.

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0344185

Key evidence SP was vaccine-derived:

- No viral RNA anywhere; nucleocapsid (infection marker) absent in fetal cells & rare overall (only 3 maternal-side cases, all vaccinated + late infection).

- Vaccine modRNA directly detected in 2/9 tested: BNT162b2 in maternal decidual cells; mRNA-1273 in fetal villous endothelial cells.

- Authors speculate: "spike protein found on the fetal side is not derived from viral infection. Instead... uptake of freely circulating spike subunit-1 protein or local spike production by vaccine-transfected cells."

- SP in Hofbauer cells "predominantly seen in placentas of vaccinated women" (only 6% in non-vaccinated infected).

Potential consequences underlined:

- Vaccine components breach placental barrier, reaching fetal vasculature & immune cells -> possible local SP production or accumulation in fetus.

- Fetal exposure during development could affect immune programming, inflammation, or organogenesis (long-term effects unknown).

A 2022 study (aligned with "vaccine" producer interests by authors funding) found "absence of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein in the placenta" post-vaccination, concluding mRNA vaccines "do not reach significant concentrations in the placenta."

https://www.modernpathology.org/article/S0893-3952(22)00272-1/fulltext

University of Utah Health (2022) asserted: "COVID-19 vaccines DO NOT cross the placenta."

https://healthcare.utah.edu/healthfeed/2022/01/facts-about-covid-19-and-pregnancy

University of Utah Health received Pfizer grants for educational programs (post-COVID conditions, up to $300K in 2023; COVID-19 educational grants in 2020) and collaborated on vaccine studies (SHIELD-Utah comparing Novavax/Pfizer etc).

University of Chicago Medicine (2023) stated: "Vaccine components or mRNA do not cross the placenta and enter the baby's circulation."

https://www.uchicagomedicine.org/forefront/coronavirus-disease-covid-19/mrna-covid-19-vaccine-pregnancy-breastfeeding

Idea for a mobile app:
Alice video-calls Bob with an intentional delay of, let's say, 20 seconds; both are using smartphones and mobile data transmission through the Internet, maybe the cell network. The two devices can interact with each other using some overlayed user interface on the screen (like buttons) with which the caller can ask the second user to do a challenge with the set delayed transmission in some kind of buffer (hopefully I said that right because I'm not so tech savvy). The other user had to already have his camera recording with 20 seconds or more of anticipation, before the call, which would be the transmitted, buffered video stream.
Can that be implemented in such a way that one person is sending a signal to the other person x seconds into the past, somehow, due to the transmission lag?
I got this idea after watching a livestream of a Tokyo skyline scenery that I discovered was approximately delayed by 20 seconds; meaning, if I asked, via a smartphone, a hypothetical friend walking in front of a live webcam transmission with a lag measurable in seconds, in some Japanese city via a mobile messaging app like Line or Telegram (which is basically instantaneous), to do a hand gesture to the webcam whose livestream I can see on my laptop, and that person was conscious about the present moment, he or she would know I was watching them make a hand gesture x seconds ago, but he would also know I'm still watching them "right now".
Hopefully I'm just posting retarded troll Physics at 12:36 A.M. and not something real that could be dangerous.

Einstein said time is relative to the observer. Are you saying that line of thinking doesn't apply on Earth (assuming we live on a ball Earth floating in space)? Satellites supposedly have to adjust their clocks for time dilation in orbit.

scales measure mass by measuring the weight and dividing by Earth's gravitational acceleration.
if you want to be pedantic then measuring mass would be impossible since the only way to do it involves a force of some kind.
