Or is your dick a mixture of every dick in your family tree going back to the very first dick? Does this mean that you and your brother have similar dicks? Or you and your cousin?

For the discussion of cryopreservation of biological organisms and cells.https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-38824-8Vitrification and nanowarming enable long-term organ cryopreservation and life-sustaining kidney transplantation in a rat model>We show that vitrified kidneys can be cryogenically stored (up to 100 days) and successfully recovered by nanowarming to allow transplantation and restore life-sustaining full renal function in nephrectomized recipients in a male rat model. Scaling this technology may one day enable organ banking for improved transplantation.This is a major breakthrough in cryopreservation, for the first time and entire organ has been successfully cryopreserved, and remains viable once thawed. Previously, the state of the art was just a small biopsy sample of ovarian tissue.As a future research area, this can be combined with running AI on brain organelles. The computational function of each brain organelle can be measured digitally before and after cryopreserving and thawing, thus allowing rapid, iterative, perpetual and objective improvement of the cryopreservation process until it reaches a sufficient level for brain transplantation and clinical immortality.https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.02.28.530502v1>Here, we develop Brainoware, living AI hardware that harnesses the computation power of 3D biological neural networks in a brain organoid. Brain-like 3D in vitro cultures compute by receiving and sending information via a multielectrode array. Applying spatiotemporal electrical stimulation, this approach not only exhibits nonlinear dynamics and fading memory properties but also learns from training data.The object is achieve clinical immortality through brain cryopreservation, and then implantation of brain-computer interface on nanowarming for brain-in-vat type first-generation immortality. Organ cloning, DNA repair to follow in second-generation research.So what do you think, /sci/?
Heart and liver has also been successfully cryopreserved and thawed while remaining functional>https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7793590/Perfusion, cryopreservation, and nanowarming of whole hearts using colloidally stable magnetic cryopreservation agent solutions>We further demonstrated that whole rat hearts could be vitrified after perfusion with this mCPA, cryostored in liquid nitrogen for 1 week, and rapidly nanowarmed to room temperature with no evidence of macroscopic damage after vitrification, cryostorage, and nanowarming. >https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10315167/Cryopreservation of whole rat livers by vitrification and nanowarming>This study demonstrates the ability to load rat livers with both CPA and sIONPs by vascular perfusion, cool them rapidly to an ice-free vitrified state, and rapidly and homogenously rewarm them. While there was some elevation of liver enzymes (Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)) and impaired indocyanine green (ICG) excretion, the nanowarmed livers were viable, maintained normal tissue architecture, had preserved vascular endothelium, and demonstrated hepatocyte and organ-level function, including production of bile and hepatocyte uptake of ICG during normothermic reperfusion. These findings suggest that cryopreservation of whole livers via vitrification and nanowarming has the potential to achieve organ banking for transplant and other biomedical applications.

The implications are profound, people should be shouting that you can now cryofreeze brains, thaw them after a long time and still have them work from the rooftops on every street.>>17020172Normies fundamentally do not understand how science or technology works. It might as well be a magic blackbox for all they care.

When a skilled worker is "flattened", any special skills, experiance and credentials basicaly gets reduced to nothing. Which means that companies can underpay them despite their proven credentials they'll only see the reduced version of their academic and work background. Also stereotyping and stigmas can basically lead to further job mismatch into positions where they can't leverage their specific skillsets or are way over qualified.

How do we stop global warming without giving up electricity or cars?
>>17014408>>17017336>>17017505The problem with sequestration is that isn't only a temporary fix. Most of the carbon emitted over the past 100 years *has* been sequestered by rock and nature. Humans have enough oil in the ground to last well past 2100 at the level of emissions we have today. There is no way to sequester that much carbon.The only possible way this is viable is if humanity undergoes a drastic and permanent cut in emissions at the same time.

>>17011580Adapting to the new conditions and biomes through guided human Speciation.It's honestly easier to adapt the subject than reworking all infrastructure.
>>17019954The biggest issue is that we are wasting key hydrocarbons on shitty trivial crap and trinkets instead of the plethora of industries and sectors that do NOT have an easy way to implement batteries and renewables like manufacturing of transportation.Also a ton of the supply chain is outright dependant on being able to short change certain suppliers due to them being "dysfunctional but functional" or corrupt but the pool of states that fit the criteria of both is starting to dwindle and the ones that several powers are making moves on are splitting apart at critical mass due to too many foreign actors trying to power play like the big boys circa the Cold War.
>>17017654And then who gets the energy and at what wholesale price? Ambitious projects like that are totally useless if all it does is just extract energy up north while the population just imports high polluting hydrocarbons. It's investors green-washing with a thin veneer of "look we are reducing emissions (by externalizing the the pollution and carbon output to poorer states)". We can see this already in action in Northern Africa.

For a large part of my life, I had people telling me that philosophy is useless, and in a sense I think it is, since it does not produce material goods like work does, nor does it generate material wealth. However, I believe it is fundamentally important to cultivate philosophy as much as possible, because it is what truly makes you free. This includes studying the philosophy of your own ancestors as well as that of other cultures. I also believe that the most important thing is to develop a critical mindset, in order to analyze and understand it as deeply as possible. What do you think?
>>17019761Philosophy is useful to practice being full of yourself, fearlessly act like a retard in front of people and still doubledown until others doubt themselves. This is the most useful skill in politics.If you don't plan on becoming a politician, or a charlatan, it will be useless.
>>17019904That's not a question for philosophers or phycisists. It belongs to biologists.

>>17020024Yes, the deep state got to me.and it's not exactly clear if information in real life has "dimensions" or if this is just a model of reality we use out of convenience. This I am not entirely sure of. If information doesn't have dimension it would just exist in 1 dimensional space, and we're just approximating its nonlinear nature with the extra dimensions.
>>17019984>What does this even mean and why do you think AI can't do this?Roughly speaking, if you have a bunch of training examples representing a coherent whole, like a body of knowledge or some artform, there should be an equivalent representation where the examples become data points spread out in a decipherable pattern in some high-dimensional space. The point of generative AI is to infer such a representation and the corresponding pattern. What you get is a model of the data distribution which you can use to generate new data points, with the obvious caveat that you have to respect this pre-learned distribution, whose overall shape (if that's still a good word in thousands of dimensions) is defined by the original training examples.Now suppose you had a collection of texts from different eras and you arranged them into sets such that the i-th corpus contains all texts written up to and including the i-th century. If you modeled each corpus separately (e.g. trained a bunch of LLMs) and had some way to visualize and compare the learned data distributions, you'd see the shape changing over centuries. That's human creativity. A LLM can't do this on its own, by definition. You can prompt and sample it forever, use it to build a new corpus of texts, maybe even one containing solutions to unsolved problems, "original" novels and theories etc., but if you trained a new LLM on it, at best, you'd get back the same distribution you started with.
>>17020013>>17020029Or rather that they're drawing what is a thousand dimensional (or however many parameters we're up to billions) polytope by performing gradient descent on the training data. The polytope is stored in a matrix and output is obtained through matrix multiplication. This is slightly different than what I originally said, but the rest still stands.

Alright, so I'm fucking confused.There's an argument I sometimes come across when it comes to animal-to-human communication and it goes something like this:>they don't really know or understand what they're communicating. They're just going though the motions to get what they want.So if I understand correctly, you're telling me Koko didn't know the combination of hand movements signifying "I want food" means "I want food." He just did it whenever he wanted food because people would give him food when he did it?Am I taking crazy pills or something? They're literally describing communication and language comprehension. He learned a way to signal he wants something and used that signal whenever he wanted the thing. >I'm not stealing. I'm just taking shit that's not mine.>I'm not eating. I'm just grinding food with my teeth and swallowing it.>I'm not raping. I'm just having sex with someone who doesn't want it.That's what this argument sounds like to me. Am I misding something here?

Time seems to be more resilient than a simple line or point. A point in time is really contention between a vessel and it's mirror. Time, as 4D, seems to be composed of multiple dimensions, including rate, set, and harm. There's more to time than rate and length as measured by the clock. Time has it's own resilience, it is broken down by humans. What do you think?

I have an engineering degree from 2019 and was looking back at some of my math tests and notes, and holy shit I can't do any of this shit anymore. I think I'm down to basic algebra. I can't even do basic integrals, multiply and divide fractions, and do basic things in high school math. I used to knock out triple integrals, discrete math, diffeq, and everything in a stem degree. Linear algebra, all of that... I don't really use any of this at my job so I lost the knowledge. How can I get my math knowledge back? I think I'd have to start at algebra 1 or precalc.
>>17019025Some of them, majority were rentals. >>17019256Seems that way>>17019467Government job, its so boring and my skills atrophied.
>>17019022If you have an engineering degree why bother relearning all the math? I have thought about investing time in learning how to solve integrals again but it just seems so pointless. I'd rather read about technological developments and applications in my field.
>>17019663It is pointless overall, but I liked doing it and had fun solving problems. It was challenging and rewarding to put in effort to learn a skill, gain knowledge, and then get tested on it and see fruits from labor.There is no challenge at my job but putting in 8 hours per day and clocking out. The reward is not having to be in a shitty office and I can go home. You are lucky to be in a field in which you have to use your brain and can learn new things.
