It's unclear from that source that the complex fungal network in the ant is in any way important for controlling ant behavior. It's only speculated.

I always figured it made the ant feel it is about to drown, so it seeks high ground instinctively.

Plenty of legit potential concerns.. Russian govt could "nationalize" Kaspersky at any moment and push rogue updates.

Understood,the point was if the sensors are identical, they don't give any more information, some independence is needed.

by mrtnmcc 5y ago
Yes combining relatively independent sensors will increase the MI.

Priors can make sensor information more useful maybe, but that is just knowledge that helps first limit possibilities before taking a measurement. Priors also work against you when you are trying to sense something novel that might indicate

In my experience, "AI can extract more information from sensors" is mostly a myth. An example is the SCIO sensor ( https://nocamels.com/2019/03/scio-kickstarter-darling-promis... ) which was a cheap hand

It's basically just a huge square root extended Kalman filter tracking all GPS satellite states.

Look up GPS operation control segment (OCX). Currently it's mostly Airforce and JPL, transitioning to Space Force. Lots of details published.

The first and most important step is to determine if the book is worth your time! Most subjects have countless written material. Skimming many first to decide which is worth it's weight will lead to a better outcome. It's more mot

We may discover that the ideas we have are more real than we are. We have all died countless times already, 'I' am not the person that was at age 13. There might now be some memories or conception of that person, I could estimate

Thinking reality makes sense is pretty loopy too.

Finding it throughout the body tissue in asymptomatics is a bit concerning given our collective decision to let this one run wild.

2^(11/4) = 6.7x you might want to check the math there :) I guess you could have meant by "more than doubled" as 2.75x, that would work out. Pretty impressive.

Interesting point hadn't heard made before. Did you notice this yourself or were there epidemiologist analysis on this?

You just make vaccine optional and only mandate once enough data is available.

And perhaps more obviously, any prior immune learning from the previous wave that transfers. In South Africa the huge bias towards the young of Omicron infections over their Delta wave seems like it could explain much of the mildness. Why

Why can't they just test this hypothesis that Yersinia bacteria growing under refrigeration cause the symptoms? Simply culture a small amount of Yersinia, spread it on a cracker and give it to a Chrohn's suscetiple person (and als

I always loved the creative solutions ITA could find, like transferring to a ferry to shuttle to another airport. To the cost sensitive adventurers, ITA was invaluable. The reboot is much snappier than the old ITA, and it now supports mobi
