One the cool possibilities from the #fly #connectome is the ability to run simulations. I've finally got around to experimenting with the "Leaky Integrate and Fire" model by Philip Shiu et al. Here are test simulations of 3x Mi1 optic cells, followed by their whole columns

@Philip_Shiu Wow this is amazing! Id like to render our optic lobe simulations in the flywire connectome too?!

@Philip_Shiu Woah, that’s awesome.

@Philip_Shiu need more simulations!

@Philip_Shiu Looks so cool!

@Philip_Shiu Amazing!

We've uploaded a fruit fly. We took the FlyWire connectome of the fruit fly brain, applied a simple neuron model (Philip Shiu Nature 2024) and used it to control a MuJoCo physics-simulated body, closing the loop from neural activation to action. A few things I want to say about what this means and where we're going at eon. 🧵

Finally! Gemini 3 Pro is available, and it's the smartest model in the world 🔥 I've been testing it for a few days and it's the most powerful one I've used. BY FAR. - Incredibly good for coding - UIs are far from generic (no slop) - Capable of creating advanced simulations And already available everywhere! Gemini App, AI Studio, Search AI Mode, etc.

ELON: ONLY INTERESTING SIMULATIONS SURVIVE “If the simulation theory is true, then it is actually very likely that the most interesting outcome is the most likely. Because only the simulations that are interesting will continue. The simulators will stop any simulations that are boring because they're not interesting. In this reality that we live in, we run simulations all the time. When we try to figure out if the rocket's going to make it, we run thousands, sometimes millions of simulations just to figure out which path is the good path for the rocket and where can it go wrong? Where can it fail? But when we do these millions of simulations of what can happen with the rocket, we ignore the ones where everything goes right, because we have to address the situations where it goes wrong. And for AI simulations as well, like all these things, we keep the simulations going that are the most interesting to us. So, if the simulation theory is accurate, then the simulators will only continue to run the simulations that are most interesting. Therefore, from a Darwinian perspective, the only surviving simulations will be the most interesting ones. And, in order to avoid getting turned off, the only rule is that you must keep it interesting because the boring simulations will be terminated.” Source: Elon Musk on The Joe Rogan Experience Joe Rogan, October 31, 2025

Elon Musk reveals why he believes the most interesting outcome is always the most likely "If simulation theory is true, it is very likely that the most interesting outcome is the most likely, because only the simulations that are interesting will continue" "The simulators will stop any simulations that are boring because they're not interesting" "In this reality, we run simulations all the time. When we try to figure out if the rocket's going to make it, we run thousands, sometimes millions of simulations" "When we do millions of simulations of what can happen with the rocket, we ignore the ones where everything goes right. We only care about where it goes wrong" "We keep the simulations going that are the most interesting to us" "From a Darwinian perspective, the only surviving simulations will be the most interesting ones" "In order to avoid getting turned off, the only rule is you must keep it interesting, or you will be terminated" "Video games have gone from Pong, with two rectangles in a square, to photorealistic with millions of people playing simultaneously, and all of that has occurred in our lifetime" "If that trend continues, video games will be indistinguishable from reality. You don't know if what you're seeing is a real video or a fake video" "If we're creating millions, if not billions, of photorealistic simulations of reality, then what are the odds that we're in base reality versus someone else's simulation?" "The most interesting and usually ironic outcome is the most likely. That's a good predictor of the future"

You can give Claude Code the ability to parse any website in the world with Apify actors. It's the closest thing to a superpower that I've seen. And they just added support for MCP connectors, which opens a whole new set of possibilities. Here is one example:

Cache still remains one of the most GPU intensive maps, following along de_ancient. Moving around dust2 or anubis with the same graphics settings , framerate and no smoke/nade simulations, the average GPU usage is around 60-75% Make sure to keep reflex on.

Yesterday at al-Mughayyir - dozens of settlers pervented Palestinians from plowing their lands. The Israeli army followed by invading the village, firing tear gas and rubber bullets, including at journalists. One of the granades set fire to a garden, which was put out.

✈️ So nerdy but this Airbus A380 by FlyByWire Simulations has an entire cabin where you can walk around or sit while you fly in Flight Simulator 2024 Kinda hard to take off without seeing the cockpit but I tried :D Take off from Lisbon Airport to Doha 😊👌 Especially the sounds are so real, the shaking of the entire thing when taking off and then it sounds different depending where in the plane you stand and the sound becomes diffuse/bassey when you fly higher A380 is one of my fav planes to fly both in FS and real life, it's so comfy, sad it got discontinued (cause it was too big)

Elon Musk believes that we are in a simulation: "I do have this theory about predicting the future which is that the most interesting outcome is the most likely" "If simulation theory is accurate this makes sense because if anyone is simulating a wide range of futures they're going to stop the simulation when it gets boring" "This is what we do in reality. If SpaceX is doing simulations to understand how a rocket works we run all these simulations in the computer" "The simulations that we pay attention to are the ones that are the most interesting" "We could be an alien Netflix series and that series is only going to get continued if our ratings are good" "If you apply Darwin to simulation theory then only the most interesting simulations will continue" "Therefore the most interesting outcome is the most likely because it's either that or annihilation" "So really we have one goal. Keep it interesting."

For the first time ever, a fruit fly brain has been trained to launch a memecoin. Not "AI inspired by a brain" — the real connectome. 165,122 neurons, 10,228,000 synaptic connections, every one traced from an actual male Drosophila by electron microscopy. Janelia FlyEM + Google Research, released CC-BY. How it works: Screenshots of the live launchpad go in through 892 retinotopic hex columns into L1 and L2 — the neurons sitting directly behind a fly's photoreceptors. All 165,122 integrate. The cursor comes back out of the descending neurons a fly actually walks with: DNa02's left-right asymmetry steers, DNa01 drives forward, DNp09 clicks. The wiring is never trained. Only synaptic gains — you don't get to invent connections the fly doesn't have. Proof its eye is doing real work: in light mode it filled 0 of 3 form fields. In dark mode, 2 of 3. Its retina is a luminance map, so invert the contrast and it goes blind. And the honest split: the fly types the description and the ticker. The rig does the name, the pair and the tax.
