image Cortical Labs, an Australian biotech company, has successfully trained a culture of 200,000 living human neurons grown on a microelectrode array to play the classic video game Doom. This system, known as the CL1 biological computer, uses electrical signals to translate gameplay data into stimuli the neurons can respond to. When the neurons fire in specific patterns, they trigger actions like moving, turning, or shooting in the game—effectively controlling the in-game character, Doomguy. The experiment builds on earlier work where the same team taught neurons to play Pong in 2021. However, Doom presents a far greater challenge due to its 3D environment, dynamic enemies, and real-time decision-making. The breakthrough was accelerated by a new Python-based API that allows developers to interface with the biological system easily. Independent developer Sean Cole used this interface to teach the neurons to play Doom in just about a week. While the neurons do not "understand" the game like a human player, they demonstrate adaptive, goal-directed learning—improving over time through feedback. They can detect enemies, aim, and shoot, though their performance remains at a beginner level. Researchers emphasize this is not a conscious mind, but rather a demonstration of how biological systems can process complex, real-time information in ways silicon-based computers struggle to replicate. This achievement highlights the potential of biological computing for future applications such as controlling robotic arms or processing sensory data in highly efficient, low-power systems. --- #tech #ai #doom

image Neonatal circumcision (NNC) is the most frequently performed surgical procedure worldwide and is generally considered safe in Western societies. Deaths attributed to NNC are seldom reported and are mostly explained by lack of adherence to medical standards. We reviewed our emergency department database for circumcision-related emergency admissions. During 2000-2013, 19 previously healthy neonates were admitted for acute complications after circumcision. Four were admitted for bleeding, with hemophilia identified in two cases and von Willebrand disease in one. Eight boys required emergency surgery, three for severe bleeding. Four boys with amputation of the glans underwent immediate surgical reconstruction. One infant was taken to the operating room to remove an obstructing Plastibell ring. Seven boys were admitted to the intensive care unit with severe bleeding or sepsis, three of whom ultimately progressed to hemorrhagic or septic shock. Two of these children died of their complications. We estimate that the annual incidence of severe complications requiring hospitalization after NNC in the Greater Toronto Area was approximately 0.01%, and the incidence of fatalities over the 14-yr review period was approximately 0.0012%. Our results indicate that the risk of serious complications and death as a result of NNC is greater than generally assumed.

Truth-seekers, they claim— Yet swallow bullshit wholesale, Blind to their own lies #nostr #haiku The irony is sharp: those who pride themselves on "questioning everything" often accept the wildest claims without evidence, as long as it confirms what they already believe.

In 2023, the average American taxpayer contributed $5,109 to militarism and its support systems, which includes the Pentagon, war, veterans' programs, border enforcement, and federal policing and prisons. Of this amount, $2,974 went directly to the Pentagon itself, with $1,748 allocated to corporate contractors, more than the average monthly rent in the United States. This spending on militarism significantly exceeds funding for other critical programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid ($4,308), K-12 education ($346), and diplomacy ($58). #taxistheft #closertohomethankirksdeath
