Zebrafish NN
It’s pretty amazing to learn that efforts to map the fruit FLY connectome (brain synapses) were successful and its amazing to see the digital fly brain successfully complete a whole series of tasks, including complex navigation of open worlds.
The fruit fly is 160,000 neurons and 10^7 synapses.
Teams are currently doing the same thing with a zebrafish which has a similar scale neuron count but 10x more synapses. Fly was 100TB raw data and Zebrafish is 200TB, so about 2x the raw data.
For context a rodent is 70m neurons and 10^11 synapses. Rodents will come later.
But this method looks like it creates totally outsized results with absolutely miniscule models.
Zebrafish NN is a vertebrae connectome, it has much of the same basic structure as other vertebrae, unlike FLY connectome.
We are just about used to LLMs and coding, but AI is really just beginning and there is a lot more, and a lot weirder stuff coming down the pipe.
These connectomes have already shown to be incredibly resilient, you can blind their sensors and injure their outputs and they still succeed.
They are incredibly compact.
A whole lot of inanimate objects are going to get complete autonomy, totally offline, air gapped autonomy. They will be delivering pizzas and fighting wars.
Connectomics is an opposite approach to LLMs but you can of course use LLMs to help develop connectomes.
It’s amazing that you can take a biologically evolved brain, map it, produce a digital twin, and then run it at machine speed.
Imagine a human brain accelerated from 100Hz neuron fires to 3,200,000,000Hz that a typical CPU runs at. That’s 30 million times faster. But would need 1-2 exabytes to map.
Anyway “Zebrafish” is next.

A Chinese satellite that may have helped Iran kill U.S. soldiers just mysteriously broke apart in orbit, and nobody is explaining why...
China supplied Iran with high-res satellite imagery of a U.S. military base in Jordan before an Iranian attack in July, according to the Wall Street Journal.
That attack killed 2 American service members...
They called it the clearest evidence yet that Chinese support for Iran had LETHAL consequences for U.S. forces.
6 weeks later, China's Yaogan-50 military reconnaissance satellite, the type used to gather imagery of military bases, ships, and troop movements, broke apart in orbit creating 43+ debris fragments.
Cause: officially unknown.
China's embassy DENIES the imagery claims. U.S. officials stopped short of alleging direct Chinese government involvement.
But the sequence is difficult to ignore:
Chinese satellite data helps kill American soldiers, and a Chinese military reconnaissance satellite silently disintegrates weeks later with no explanation...
Did the U.S. take it out?
Nobody is saying that.
Nobody is saying they didn't.

During her next media tour stop, juror Paula Devlin says the mostly female jury knew the Lindsay Clancy trial could create change to “make it better for other women.”
“We knew that this was a turning point, and this would be something that could change something to make it better for other women…”

It seems most people don't understand how severe the energy situation is right now in the Middle East.
As of Friday, Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline has officially been shut down after recent attacks, putting -4 million barrels of daily oil exports at risk.
Meanwhile, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is now at risk of being shut down, threatening up to -9 million barrels of daily oil supply.
All while the Strait of Hormuz is operating at ~20% of its pre-Iran War capacity, removing -15 million barrels of daily oil flows.
Combined, this represents nearly ~30 MILLION barrels per day of oil flows that are either offline or at risk.
Even after accounting for some overlap between these routes, the scale of the potential disruption is enormous relative to the ~100 million barrel per day global oil market.
This is one of the most severe energy supply situations in modern history.

The BBC kept a prolific child rapist on air for 50 years, only confessing after he was dead.
Savile abused at least 500 people across five decades, most were underage, including patients at the NHS hospitals he was fundraising for.
The BBC’s own inquiry found he attacked 72 people in its studios, dressing rooms and corridors because a culture of fear stopped staff from ever reporting him.
The Queen knighted him in 1990, the Pope honored him while the rumors were already circulating, and Newsnight sat on its own exposé until another network broke the story months later.
15 years on, the BBC are still explaining why they stayed silent until hiding it became impossible.
So of course they spliced Trump’s January 6 speech to invent an incitement that wasn’t there and only lost their director-general and news chief once they got caught.

The fly is now addicted to gambling.
I connected a simulated 166,606-neuron Drosophila brain to blackjack and gave it four outputs: hit, stand, split, double.
Then I gave it access to my casino account.
He has been gambling for over 6 hours.
