The algae tanks make much better destructible scenery for a cybercity than trees. what's cooler: an fps level with a bunch of big glass tanks loudly shattering going KSSSSHHH and green glowing water spilling everywhere, or some bullets just hitting a tree and getting stuck?

Maed posted:he doesn't know what epigenetics is, it's things that happen to DNA like methylation that can change gene expression, for some reason people started using it to try to refer to everything outside genetics for some odd reason, I blame libs What do people think epigenetics is? I'm using it to refer to the idea that exposure to stress creates chemicals that negatively affect development via gene expression, and that the net effect of swimming around in stress chemicals is more significant than any inheritable genetic factors, likely to the point where inheritable intelligence isn't even worth seriously talking about by comparison. And people should be happy about that, because the solution is to just give people material aid and comfort and reduce the amount of poo poo they have to juggle, no eugenics required. Its biological affirmation that when you improve someone's material circumstances you improve their functioning as a person. People not raised in a toxic cesspit tend to get sick less often as adults, kids who aren't worried about their next meal tend to be brighter. The policy world still thinks this stuff is magic, but thats because theyre morons. Whats this thread's excuse?

Janitor Ludwich IV posted:POORS ARE DUMB, ESPECIALLY WOMEN No, being poor *causes* worse outcomes. If you make people not poor they get better. This isn't even talking about the enormous cognitive load from being poor and having to worry about everything constantly. This is trivial to observe. You wouldnt get like this is I said 'growing up breathing in industrial waste decreases your odds of being an olympic runner' and suggested that prioritizing cleaning up the air would lead to healthier lungs. If your take away is 'poor are dumb, especially women' then I guess you're a loving moron. Probably a woman too.

Broadlybrowsing posted:I have a stupid question about chatgpt and ai text stuff: it’s all still token based, right? So like really fancy auto complete? So if I asked it to write a persuasive essay, it wouldn’t be able to be circumspect right? Like it writes a five paragraph essay, it’s not able to make reference to a point it made in the first paragraph it wrote, right? Or is it because it’s trained on x style of writing it’s able to mimic the appearance of internal consistency? Like x token in y context should return something similar to n-1 context? You should try it out, it does not behave like this anymore. The distinction is that it's not computing a single token at a time to do the completion, but rather computing a complete response composed of some number of tokens [2000 at the moment iirc?]. It can definitely carry a point through multiple sentences coherently, and doesn't "lose track" of the topic the way eg markov chains did. Edit: to clarify it does I think still compute the individual tokens one at a time, but it uses its own output as part of the prompt for each successive token so it can carry a thread in a way that markov chains couldn't.

By we I mean everyone else and by the first everyone I mean me. You don't understand, I'm the intelligensia and can't possible work the mud fields to plant things. Going outside and sweating. Ugh. That's poor people work. Uh I mean workers unite! (Lounges back in million dollar mansion paid for by trust fund)

Note: make sure to wear your best imported designer jeans, gucci accessories and all the rest of it. Ideally you'll look like one of those body models in a crime drama during the morgue scene. So nothing involving the face because ugh thats just not good looking is it? Otherwise how is the necrophiliac mortician supposed to have their way with your corpse if you do that? Have some common courtesy on your way out.

Since I happen to have caught up with the thread at the same time as the topic, epigenetics: i) (almost) Every cell in your body has the same full set of DNA instructions as (almost) every other cell. ii) ...but your cells need to be different things, and do different things at different times in response to different situations. Sometimes a single stimulus must make different cell types respond in directly opposite ways. iii) So there is a complex system of regulation that works to control which DNA actually gets used for which type of cell at any given moment, and therefore what those cells make, and therefore what they do. iv) On short timescales we often call this "cell signaling" and "gene regulation" and it does stuff like encouraging or discouraging the use of certain sections of DNA. v) On longer timescales we often call this "epigenetics" and it does stuff like altering the packing, storage, and availability-for-use of certain sections of DNA. The ability to modify gene expression patterns in medium-term ways (that is, less than the permanence of sequence changes, more than the transience of regulation changes) is a great way for a population with relatively long generation times to adapt to changing environmental situations. Epigenetic effects (I.e.: "profiles" of decisions made re: certain genes and developmental pathways) have been observed to be passed to children in humans, but not (as far as I had read back when I dealt with this stuff) to grandchildren. The natural use of this stuff is, for example, to allow parents who have been exposed to famine when young, to produce children that are smaller (and therefore require less food), *without* making the sort of permanent commitment to smaller descendants that would be implied by full-on genetic adaptation. Useful stuff in s changing world. Unfortunately, it has its problems. First, not all social adaptations are good for individuals. There's whole books in that, so I'm leaving it for now. Second, all sorts of chemical pollutants can mess up cell signaling and DNA sequences, so it's perhaps predictable that many can mess up epigenetic controls as well. Not in some predictable "everything gets worse kill the mutants" way, just in a "we randomly adjusted the offsets in this machine" sort of way. Destructive without necessarily being simple to outline except in retrospect. So yeah, epigenetics.
