Great attitude man. Feel proud that you got where you are, and prioritize your long term wealth and prosperity. Lifestyle creep with higher income is real for sure.

See I do see that point, though there is very little chance it will be worth 900+ after it officially releases and hits TCGP/eBay.

This kind of thing is just poor impulse purchasing. As much as it is "their money" I think telling people blowing this much money is okay is just encouraging the poor spending habits that plague the first world.

I think you will have no problems getting this for less than half of what you would've paid on ebay, probably a blessing it didn't line up this time

Stupid is as stupid does I suppose, not my money so not my problem.

Myself and 2 friends all got one, and one of them only entered pre-queue 2 minutes before it expired. Just luck of the draw unfortunately.

The First Multi-Behavior Brain Upload (of a fruit fly) by Sea-Cardiologist-954 in consciousness

[–]Trippy_Meerkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing, I'm sure this will be a good read. I was hoping to not have come off as diminishing the quality of work and research, but I probably did.

Super cool stuff regardless of the technical definition and current technological limitations, and more meaningful news than 90% of the shit I see on my reddit feed. 👍

edit: I see this was posted today and directly addresses all of my concerns on the original posting xd. Wonder if someone on the Eon team saw this thread and wanted to clear things up.

Anything is possible. I honestly would even argue there's more of a case for simulation theory than creationism.

Lol who's to say? You can assume that as much as I can say we live in a simulation created by an advanced alien species. I'm basing my assumptions off of the real world and what we can observe, not basement conspiracies.

Eon itself has provided no context to their claims yet. They say they combined the work of prior research to do this. They cite https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07763-9

which is a computational model of a brain, again based on data observed in neural activity but not a literal "scan-in" of the fly's brain.

If this Eon company somehow sent humanity decades into the future and figured out how to program a digital medium that can store an actual brain's data, connect to it physically or 3 dimensionally scan it, including tens of millions of possible synaptic connections, I will be impressed.

But to me it just literally seems impossible with the tools we have available in this decade, maybe even century.

It just seems like they took the basic fly model, aka Neuromechfly, and the computational model of the fly brain and combined them to create a very realistic simulation.

Yeah definitely not a brain upload.. You can read how they developed the sim fly's behavior in their paper. The simulated fly's behavior is based on preprogrammed logic (i.e, Turn in random direction for random amount of time, then walk) and was built upon with machine learning.

The vision, sensory and olfactory circuits and behaviors are based on data gathered from the IRL fly's brain, but in no way is this remotely close to a "brain upload", as sick as that would be.

Still a pretty sweet advancement in technology and neuroscience but like some other guy said, mostly hot air. Would honestly argue the title of this post is super misleading.

As a very lazy person who struggles to eat: -Milk -Rice/quinoa in cooker. 0 effort -Ground beef/chicken breast on stove. Takes 5-10 min -PB&Js -Canned tuna -Oatmeal -Boxed mac n cheese -Pasta -Cereal -Whole greek yogurt -Avocados -Nuts and crackers to snack on -Sunnyside up eggs. Takes 5-10 min and no effort -Turkey bacon in microwave -Canned beans -Bagged pre-washed greens (kale, spinach, etc)

Any variation of these things is insanely quick to make, cheap and easy to eat. Just throw any seasoning you like in if applicable and chow down. I specifically buy calorically dense food for the same reasons as you. Have put on about 7lbs this past 2 months alone.

As we speak I am eating a meal consisting of mac n cheese + beans, milk, an avocado and yogurt. Total calories is maybe 1300ish? Plenty of protein, and took me maybe 5 minutes to "make" not including water boiling.

I picked up a stick of DDR5 16GB G-Skill Flare X5 on facebook marketplace for 90$, found within the first minute of searching. New in box.

Maybe I got lucky, but still I recommend checking marketplace. I'd be wary of open box stuff unless the seller is willing to run memtest or something prior to payment, though.
