For the first time, scientists have mapped the complete brain and central nervous system of an adult male fruit fly — a key model organism in science. 🪰
Working alongside HHMI Janelia Research Campus and the scientific community, @GoogleResearch scientists and researchers used AI to combine millions of 2D images into 3D neural shapes, reconstructing a record-breaking 166,000+ neurons. This foundational map of the adult male fruit fly brain can help accelerate our understanding of the brain, and is a major milestone in neuroscience.
@Dimillian Remote sidebar panel mirroring from host. Please. At least just chrome tabs would be a great start. I work remote in from my laptop a lot, and I cant see the sidebar I have open in a thread on my mac mini.
Qwen3.8 27B literally broke the SIZE → INTELLIGENCE curve. Look how far left it is in the optimal quadrant.
Crazy that a 27B model is sitting on the Pareto frontier like that. This RESETS expectations for what you can run on consumer hardware.
"scientists don't want you know" is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know
Congress is not serious.
We are voting on a stock trading ban for members of Congress…
BUT Republicans added voter-ID in the legislation.
Not to get Dems to vote for voter-ID,
but to get them to vote against the stock trading ban, so they can use it in the Nov. election.
