It's been like Groundhog Day movie for the last 2 weeks. It's just boring.
You think Groundhog Day movie is boring? Not as boring as any Star Wars movie. well when i saw the original star wars in the theater back in the 70s it was pretty rockin. the rest of the series, along with that reissue they did of the original with more effects did stink though. Empire was OK at the time but when I saw revenge and a bunch of teddy bears waddling with spears killing storm troopers I just about puked and it only went down hill from there. Always was a Trekkie until after the next generation, everything good gets destroyed, I cant even force myself to watch the woke drivel they put out under the franchise now.

I also saw the original in the theater when it first came out. I thought it was childish. I appreciate good realistic science fiction but it reminded me more of a fairy tale, all action and drama but not much science. I find it fitting that Disney has taken over the franchise. What's next? LGBT Han Solo and Princess Leia of color? I realize I'm in the minority and millions worldwide think it rocks, To each their own. There's no accounting for taste.

About "hard" scifi-I enjoyed reading the "Three body problem" and two subsequent parts of the trilogy. Very much looking forward to the Netflix series in January, albeit knowing that people can make something incomprehensible with it (as Apple did with the "Foundation"). We shall see.

Would you go on a date with Ivanka Trump if she paid you 1 #Bitcoin ? The only catch is you have to wear a MAGA hat and she will call you “Daddy” for the entirety of the date.

It is just a date.

Maybe nice, but does anyone around here seriously expect to be around by the last couple of halving dates?
Yeah I just saw a lady on NJ news 12 she celebrates here 105th birthday. Realistically I won't reach 100 no less than 105 but even if I make 105 I am 66 so in 2062 less than 39 years from now I will be 105. and as of 2060 blocks are only 0.00610351 No maybe most of the members in the forum will be dead in the last of halving dates ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif) .

It is just a date. I would not even need to get paid. I would go for fffffffffrrrrrrreeeeeeeeee.. just to say that I did it. Does that make me a slut? Are we going dutch? or are they (each or all of them) paying for my meal? We're not going to Mickey Dees are we? Is it like a several hour date (which would be a usual kind of "date", or just a quickie date ...? I mean what's in the "date" besides food, drinks and/or dessert.. staples of any meaningful date, no?

interesting, but they are not doing anything, really, being just cells on a mesh substrate. here is something more interesting...also not dangerous (at least not yet): xenobots https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wL64jqYn4CEBefore we would have any danger from those little clamps, imho, we would be in a real one from mechanical one's. Totally unrelated (because it was not organic), but it made me think about Black mirror's "cookie".

Interesting but I'm much more interested in neural networks that can be used for navigation and exploration. OT: Gotcha...to me, it would be easier to build those using silicon than cells, but I could be totally wrong. We still don't know what consciousness is, amazingly, with some wild theories proposed by few scientists, like R. Penrose (something about quantum coherence/decoherence in brain cells microtubules). https://nautil.us/roger-penrose-on-why-consciousness-does-not-compute-236591/Minsky’s claims compelled Penrose to write The Emperor’s New Mind, arguing that human thinking will never be emulated by a machine. The book had the feel of an extended thought experiment on the non-algorithmic nature of consciousness and why it can only be understood in relation to Gödel’s theorem and quantum physics. ...but here we are, just 6 years later, and at least some aspects of human thinking were already emulated by a machine, it seems. The question remains only on how deep this emulation goes. ...back to bitcoin (which is flat)...missing Chart Buddy.

My thoughts are that these neural networks can be created for specific problem solving techniques and then they can teach ai models that can in turn be used in production settings.

As solar's output nosedives in the Texas evening, spot electricity rates skyrocket above $1k. Above $3k now, entering scarcity pricing territory (max is $5k) Bitcoin miners turned off, but Texas needs more of them to fully absorb these intermittent generation shocks.
