Hence human's ability to avert collapse on a continyal basis. No other creature farms like humans.

Farming and agriculture is ecological creation on a grand scale, and responsible for much of human flourishing, along with the animals and plants we cultivate.

Insects and plankton cannot purposefully prevent collapse. Only humans can do this.

We are able to recognize, anticipate and avert ecological collapse. No other animal can do this. The rest of the animal kingdom can only adapt, at best.

If humans hold our ecosystems together, then elimination of humans will also result in the rest of animals dying off.

Seems highly likely given how fantastically different we are from all other known life forms, especially in our mental ability.

What if humans are a unique higher lifeform that will never be matched in the history of the universe?

What if humans are special, and help hold ecosystems together? We know of some, like the great plains and the redwood forests, where lack of human management leads to ecosystem breakdown.

Haven't humans also cultivated much of the natural world? Some ecosystems fall apart once humans leave.

bit is base 2 as far as i know yes, there is always a turing machine that can generate the target with any performance characteristics so, the key is to keep the reference turing machine fixed

Wow, they followed you all the way down this thread to downvote it. Some weird, obsessive people.

I don't know if you've played with the model, but going from 2.6 R0 to 3 is a significant difference, doubling the death rate in some cases. I am very curious how this affects the modeling. If the real world death rate is not co

Maybe they were dying before, but were categorized differently?

enumerate all bitstrings of length 10. run them for N steps. if none terminate on the target bitstring of length 100, then we've eliminated the computation hypothesis for 10 bits and N runtime if we continue this approach and eliminate

i mean run all the shorter bitstrings until time runs out or they terminate.

where did sk get all their tests? they didnt know about cov2 before the outbreak. seems we could fast track test production, or do whatever they did

yes that all seems like things we could easily do in the US. i dont know why the gov doesnt push this, vs mass ineffective lockdowns

another question i have is are positive tests being sent to icu even if the symptoms are not bad?

by yters 7y ago
doesnt sound like what the OP was proposing also, sk only tested people with significant ailments

not sure why you get the downvotes. this is really good and extremely actionable

yes synthesizing cannot be done at home, but companies can do custom synthsizing for relatively cheap, a couple hundred dollars for a short segment

this is a really good point. much easier to do than mass testing.

If the sequence isn't compressible, then you can eliminate that possibility.

then prepare a sample from a swab and see if the cov2 segments bind with dna from the swab

Let's say I have a computer that can only store 10 bits worth of information, but generates 100 bits of information. Then obviously the information cannot entirely originate in the computer.
