Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth taken by the Voyager 1 spacecraft in 1990 from about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) away, as it was leaving our solar system. Here is how Carl Sagan described it:

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

Ja fa més d’un més, la península ibèrica va experimentar una apagada, les causes de la qual encara no es coneixen. Segurament esdeveniments com aquest poden tenir relació a l’elevat grau d’interconnexions. Vegem-ho . . .

WTF: Mind reading is here.

Researchers invented a new #AI method to convert brain signals into video. See the results for yourself

What are the implications? Is this the biggest paper of 2023?

MIT researchers found that massive neural nets (e.g. large language models) are capable of storing and simulating other neural networks inside their hidden layers, which enables LLM to adapt to a new task without external training: https://t.co/sValGb5S0S

ATENCIÓ, que demà dimarts hi haurà un anunci important sobre fusió nuclear.
El faran els EUA, i anunciaran (ja s'està filtrant la notícia) que s'ha aconseguit una reacció de fusió nuclear amb guany net d'energia. S'hauria fet al Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

@gloriargent Mestre que estimava profundament la llengua, el país i la seva gent. Sempre recordaré les teves classes per la passió d'explicar qui som. Molts ànims a la família i amics.

@novapbs @ScienceBey Everyone from children to mathematicians has wondered, “How big is infinity?” Patrick Honner (@MrHonner) wrote for Quanta in September about how different infinities have different sizes and how we classify them.

The problem is not people being uneducated.
The problem is that people are educated just enough to believe what they have been taught, and not educated enough to question anything from what they have been taught. 🧠
