Removing unnecessary work makes high-power computers more effective.

     Removing unnecessary work makes high-power computers more effective.  A new type of data analysis boosts the calculation power. The idea is to use tensors that connect the operands. If we multiply something with zero the answer is zero. And even if the calculation inside the brackets is very complicated, but the entirety is multiplied with zero like this (X+Y+z)*0=0. We can scale this thing to all calculations the result is always zero.  That means multiplying something inside brackets with zero means zero, and that means we can leave it without attention. In AI research the value zero can mean that the system removes the calculation, or it can wait for the next data packet to get more information. The values zero and one can mean that in zero system waits. And if the answer is one or more. The system continues to the next operand.  Machine learning requires that the computer can use multiple data sources. That requires the ability to handle very large data masses. One way to make

The mystery in the depth.

   The mystery in the depth.  Oceans are full of mysteries. Why do sharks, tunas, and some other big sea predators dive very deep? Sometimes researchers introduced theories that they would dive to those depths because of easy food. The idea would be that those deep or those leap-layer fishes don't recognize those predators. That would give them a surprising momentum against their prey.  The idea is that high pressure will press some dirt or metabolites from the blood vessels. And that helps those fishes keep their blood vessels young. And in some other models, the shark or some other creature shows that it will not have any genetic disorders. Because those deep-diving individuals have bones that can resist the water pressure.  "New research using electronic tags and sonar data shows that large marine predators like sharks and tunas often dive into the deep mesopelagic zone, interacting with its dense layer of organisms for feeding and possibly other purposes. This zone is cruc

The first chimeric monkey glows green.

   The first chimeric monkey glows green.  The rose chimera is two roses, red and white that are connected. That means the chimera is made by connecting two embryos.  *Homogenic chimera means that it's made by using the same species of embryos.  *Heterogenic chimera means that those gametes are taken from different species.  But we can say that the difference between chimera and hybrid is very small. And if the fingers of the monkey glow green because of firefly genomes that thing makes that monkey hybrid. Or actually, that monkey would be a heterogenic chimera.  *The hybrid is a combination of two gametes.  *Chimera requires three or four gametes.  So chimera can be a hybrid but a hybrid cannot be a chimera. The problem with this type of determination is that the gametes can created using multiple DNA bites.  Two-colored rose chimera Chinese researchers made the world's first chimeric monkey that glows green. That glow means that transferred genomes work as they should, and th

The human aliens (Friedrich Nietzsche's overman part II)

    The human aliens (Friedrich Nietzsche's overman part II) What is the overman? This is one thing that causes discussions. Things like genetic engineering make it possible to create humans that are more flexible more powerful and more intelligent than other humans. The problem is how to determine power. Is that ability that makes it impossible to harm the creature, like skin hairs that have similar mechanisms as''' the nettles or some medusas?  If that creature creates zombie poison, it makes it possible for the creature can take humans under control. But it's possible. Those hairs can have some deadly poison. Because we know genomes, we must realize that we can make very complex  DNA combinations from different species.  Neuroimplanted microchips can give humans abilities that it never had before.  The neuroimplant microchips make it possible for the human brain. That can connect itself to the internet by using those electronic systems. The microchip can use simi

Today Friedrich Nietzsche's overman is more topical than ever before.

 Today Friedrich Nietzsche's overman is more topical than ever before.  The overman and the AI: AI will never make decisions for humans. Except if humans will not allow the AI to make that thing. If people who have free will allow the AI to make decisions for them, that thing is made possible. The AI can take control.  But in this case, humans allow it to make that thing. Humans are things that give the tools to AI to take control. In the same way, we can ask, "Why do some people, like bloody dictators rise to power"? The answer is simple. People who support those dictators are also responsible for dictators staying in control  Friedrich Nietzsche and his "overman" or "over human" theory that the creature with higher morals, higher capacity, and higher intelligence level abilities will rise over "regular people". Nietzsche created his idea from the people's need to be under control, and he mentioned that character in his novel "Antic

Why was the 27,000-year-old Gunung Padang pyramid created? And who created that thing?

     Why was the 27,000-year-old Gunung Padang pyramid created? And who created that thing?  Stonehenge (Illustration) The term Cro-Magnon means Homo Sapiens that had no writing skill. Today this term is no longer in use as anthropological meanings. The Cro-Magnon is the common name for the oldest modern humans in Europe. But I use that term in this writing for meaning the early Homo Sapiens.  The question in Gunung Padang-pyramid is, can this kind of project succeed without writing and mathematical skills? And the induction question is: what is the beginning of the civilization? When and who made the first cities?  The oldest pyramid in Indonesia, called Gunung Padang makes Stonehenge and Great Pyramid look like new things. The age of the famous Stonehenge is about 3000 years. It was built about 2600-2400 B.C. The Great Pyramid was built in 2500 BC. So the Great Pyramid is about the same age as Stonehenge.  "Simple reconstruction of Gunung Padang with all four units and their var

The generative AI phenomenon.

     The generative AI phenomenon.  When a machine learns something, it interconnects data from different sources into a new entirety. The idea is that the data is stored in the system as the bites or data units. They are like boxes. When the system stores new data it stores it in the new box. So when the AI creates a new entirety or new skill from those data bites the process looks like the system plays Tetris.  When we think about the models and accuracy of the data bite or data unit, the large number of small data units is the thing that makes the AI accurate. The reason why human memory consists of billions of data units is simple. If one of those data units is damaged or corrupted a large number of small data units guarantees. That damage in one data unit does not have a big effect on the entirety and results.  The animation above introduces how the machine learns things. Every box in this Tetris animation is a data unit. And the system connects data units into new entirety when i

Can the universe be conscious?

   Can the universe be conscious?  Intelligent universe is a philosophical model about the purpose of the universe. The universe's consciousness or Intelligent universe theory is one of the most interesting philosophical ideas in history. The idea of that theory or hypothesis or model, how we can say those very big things depends on the writer or talker. The intelligent universe could be a network of black holes that form and oscillate at the same frequency. That network acts like a quantum computer.  But could that kind of system form spontaneously? That is an interesting question. Or could there be some kind of civilization that could create a network of black holes? In that model the Einstein-Rose bridges between those black holes transport information between those black holes. And that thing forms the universe-size quantum computer.  The intelligent universe is a philosophical model that is created to answer the question, what is the universe's purpose? And that thing caus

Why don't we care about the truth?

 Why don't we care about the truth? The key element in "Nietzsche's Thesis" is that if another person can give something to us, we want to believe in that person. Because it brings gifts to our lives. We select people whose lies we want to hear. When somebody can give a gift to us, that justifies lies. This is why we listen to lies from our boss. But if our henchman tells lies, we hand over those persons very easily.  Many times in our lives, we face situations where social pressure forces us to "believe" things that are not true. In those situations, we know that something is based on lies. But we don't care about the truth. We just follow those lies because it's easier for us. In the so-called "Nietzsche Thesis," philosopher Joseph Sieber wrote that the true reason for conversations is to reach social positions, not seek the truth. And maybe Sieber is right. When we are in conversation with our boss, we accept almost every lie that those
