Sun Mar 23 17:39:54 UTC 2014 <midnightmagic> ninjashogun: That is meaningless. The full structure of the brain hasn't even been fully undertood yet.
Sun Mar 23 17:28:44 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> anything you can do in 5 seconds includes no individual neurons firing more than 1,000 times.
Sun Mar 23 17:27:59 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> if someone told me you can do everything a human can do in terms of brain-processing (from vision to motor control to thinking speaking, reacting, EVERYTHING) thorugh a neural net at which the maximum speed of any neuron is 200 herz I'd have laughed. "suuure."
Sun Mar 23 17:26:55 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> hi asciilifeform. it is still very surprising :)
Sun Mar 23 17:25:24 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> Our brain operates at a maxmium of 200 herz. That is mind-bogglingly slow.
Sun Mar 23 17:25:11 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> "Although different neurons fire at different speeds, as a rough estimate it is reasonable to estimate that a neuron can fire about once every 5 milliseconds, or about 200 times a second"
Sun Mar 23 17:24:13 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> maximum*
Sun Mar 23 17:23:58 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> mircea_popescu, what I found really amazing on the brain is the herz that neurons can fire at before tiring. Given how much processing we do every second, take a guess at what the maximal neuronic herz rate is in the brain :)
Sun Mar 23 17:21:47 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> Hi guys.
Sun Mar 23 00:45:59 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> pretty interesting link - http://blogmaverick.com/2009/02/09/the-mark-cuban-stimulus-plan-open-source-funding/ --- but the interesting part is the comments! scroll down.
Sat Mar 22 22:07:56 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> mircea_popescu, madoff chose a return that was set not to be "too good to be true" while working more on giving the appearance of very low baked-in risk. He did not give out returns that made anyone wealthy - he was just very consistent about it.
Sat Mar 22 21:32:39 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> dub, what is css in this context?
Sat Mar 22 21:31:19 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> benkay - I think you miss the point. Valuation literally, bydefinition, is value.
Sat Mar 22 21:30:49 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> benkay - moreover valuation literally is value, in that it literally is someone paying literally that price.
Sat Mar 22 21:30:27 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> benkay - you are reinforcing my point. valuation might not be value, but it's clear that airbnb is worth more than $200K in cash.
Sat Mar 22 21:29:43 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> It's the difference between "How can I help you get from a $500K nominal valuation - your last round - to $10M" and "Wait, you're not taking a salary? Why don't you just go on welfare?" -- this channel above :)
Sat Mar 22 21:28:30 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> Here is why silicon valley is different:
Sat Mar 22 21:23:52 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> asciilifeform, have you had bad experiences with startups?
