The Universe Is Not a Simulation, but We Can Now Simulate It (https://www.wired.com/story/the-universe-is-not-a-simulation-but-we-can-now-simulate-it/)

Concluzia e foarte interesanta:

"With the recent improvements, researchers say a philosophical debate has ensued about when to say “good enough.” Adding too many astrophysical bells and whistles into the simulations will eventually limit their usefulness by making it increasingly difficult to tell what’s causing what. As Wadsley put it, “We would just be observing a fake universe instead of a real one, but not understanding it.”   ;D

Un pas imens in directia unor simulari virtuale de tip Matrix. ;D

Pare de domeniul SF ideea de a edita senzatiile pe care le simtim, de a insera in creier (memorie) imagini pe care nu le-am vazut niciodata, de a edita/sterge amintiri nedorite, de a insera chiar si arome inexistente intr-o memorie deja existenta...

Foarte recent, cercetatorii de la Universitatea din California, Berkeley, au anuntat că au testat echipamentul pentru a face acest lucru, folosind proiectia holografica in creier pentru a activa sau suprima de la zeci la mii de neuroni simultan, de sute de ori in fiecare secunda. Totul pentru a pacali creierul ca a vazut si a simtit ceva, cand de fapt nu a facut-o!(inca nu este link direct...)

Inca nu s-au facut experientele pe oameni, dar urmeaza. E interesant de anticipat consecintele tehnologiei care va permite editarea memoriei pe fiinte vii. Se speculeaza avantaje in aplicatii de domeniul SF, cum ar fi comercializarea a tot felul de experiente traite de altcineva (cum ar fi ale unui participant la o expeditie pe Everest). Nici n-are rost sa anticipam ce ar putea oferi industria pornografica, de ex., sau domeniul VR. ;D

Pentru inceput se insista pe aplicatii practice in domeniul medicinii, dar eu cred partea de divertisment va oferi principala finantare in dezvoltarea tehnologiei.

Efectul dat de atmosfera face toti banii.
Dar inainte de a publica poza putea sa elimine cel putin pata aia mica care sare in ochi (mai sunt si altele mai putin stridente), generata de ceva mizerie pe senzor.
O asemenea imagine chiar merita atentia cuvenita pe partea tehnica de prezentare.  :)

Quote
technology uses lasers to vaporize liquid tin into plasma and produce light closer in wavelength to X-rays than the spectrum visible to the human eye. That light helps chipmakers spot potential defects in the product. This process takes a room-sized machine that looks like a sci-fi death ray and requires a team of people to operate.

E gata, dar pentru teste umane sunt necesare aprobati speciale.

"Neuralink a atins un nivel în testele interne care a făcut ca echipa să fie încrezătoare că "dispozitivul Neuralink este pregătit pentru oameni" și că, în prezent, compania este angajată în discuții cu US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pentru a obține aprobarea de reglementare. Acum, Neuralink a stabilit ca obiectiv ca primele teste pe oameni să înceapă în următoarele șase luni." (Elon M)
