  I thought it was that certain roaming immune cells are basically pretty interested in literally everything they encounter, but you’re own cells have chemicals cues that signal they are ok. And as soon as a they doesn’t get the ok signal, all hell breaks loose, signaling the home bade, calling for backup, etc.

  But this can go wrong, with like bacteria or cancer trying to mimic the “ok” Signal.

  If someone wants to add, please do, because although i’m a biologist i mostly remember that the immune system is way more complex than you’d think.

  Anyone knowledgeable about this stuff know anything about the length of the tail?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You are not (just) your brain⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hm, just to add: it take about memories from heart transplants, citing a paper that describes in a minority of cases in both heart and other organ transplants show changed in memories, making the “heart neurons do stuff” a bit less strong.

  Also at some point it cites some kind of LinkedIn text that reeks of AI (double sections and unnecessary repetition), so imma call skepticism on this one.

  Still agree that the gut and other things have an interesting amount of information to process (or be involved in metabolic/nutrition processes that are super important for good brain functioning, like the whole “a lot of serotonin is made in the gut” thing? But not convinced its comparable to the pretty elaborate neocortical Networks and conscious experience.

  I saw a video a while back about the history of chess and it’s pieces, i think it was something along the lines that the queen was like… President, of something elss like that before queen got mainstream?

  Love it. Love everything about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Outstanding in her field: cow recorded using tool for first time⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah prolly just a bit of sensationalist writing, i guess?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait that means YouTube might be dying? Im actually mildly happy with that, maybe it ruins their Monopoly and opens the web for smaller niche platforms (not sure how they would survive AI but if they don’t reward low effort high freq it might be something?)

  Terrible to see, great this was discovered.

  I was thinking the same thing, didn’t know Todd was back in action. Did Kirk have any stakes in CDS or something?

  Neurophysiologist hate action potentials.

  To be fair, just because you (generally, if you do cool stuff) want to sort the signals you recorded from a brain, a lot of times this messy annoying and takes up a lot of time. Saw quite some people get pretty mad about sorting spikes

  Haha sick, so cool. This is so much cooler than the old school stereograms with like a silhouet hiding in an image. How did you make these?

  Idk why I can’t do the cross-eyed, still wanna see if I can get that working as well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Low-quality papers based on public health data are flooding the scientific literature⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But who writes such things? I mean who are the authors?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Since we're doing magic eyes now...⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah my eyes are prolly not used to crossing or something. When trying the finger thing to cross and merge the dots in the middle, it does works but it hurts to much to keep it stable. Will give it a shot on my PC later. I did toy a lot with wall-eyed ones years ago, so I intuitively started doing that until I noticed a lake on top of a hill in the third one :')

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Since we're doing magic eyes now...⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ahhhh this doesn’t work on phones? I also did Wall eyed, works quite easy but the cross eyed hurts lol.
