Thank you, Harsha-ji, for the shoutout.
Well spotted on the similarity. Here's the plot from the same analysis as @dlevenstein.bsky.social 's, for the Spiking NN model in my paper (Fig 5).
'It looks like a duck, unknown if it quacks like a duck ...'
Coriander chutney (coriander, ginger, green chili, sugar, salt and roasted chana dal/dalia) is a supreme pesto substitute. ONO.
I am particularly moved by the analogy of fermentation.
![According to Brhaspati, thinking is due to the four constitutive
principles of matter, just as the power to intoxicate is due to the
ingredients in the wine. What we call a human body, or a sense
organ, or a physical object, is just a combination (samudaΜya; an as-
semblage) of earth, fire, air, and water; indeed, these four kinds of
matter are all there is. A person is a human body endued with think-
ing, and individual lives differ one from another as bubbles differ in
water. Recent work on the reconstruction of Br q haspatiβs text allows us
to conjecture that it begins as follows:
1.1 Next then we will examine the nature of the reals.
1.2 Earth, fire, air, and water are the reals.
1.3 Their combination is called the βbodyβ, βsensesβ, and βobjectsβ.
1.4 Consciousness (caitanya) [is formed] out of these [elementary reals].
1.5 As the power to intoxicate [is formed] out of fermenting ingredients.
1.6 A human being (purus q a) is a body qualified by consciousness.
1.7 [Thinking is] from the body alone.
1.8 Because of its presence when there is a body.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:efplwzzow7blwi7kjetemmnn/bafkreib4gfye6g6yet645svqnompybqc2iwd6afuya5uvgcqik3n4wl7by)

When you connect with the 8th-century CE diss track throwing some shade on BαΉhaspati ...

'The book of the dead' has (what looks like) a TL;DR summary at the top of each page. The book itself is a cheat sheet of spells one took into the afterlife. #PapyrusMuseumVienna
What a cool idea!
Sorry, but I'm unable to DM you.
Hi! I work in theoretical neuroscience. I wonder why neurons spike spontaneously. Spoiler: mitochondria.
I am based in Vienna. I would be happy to discuss my research.

A comic on the bridge from Star Trek the Next Generation. Picard: COMMANDER DATA, PLEASE IDENTIFY THAT ROMULAN VESSEL. Data: THAT'S A GREAT IDEA CAPTAIN! IDENTIFYING A VESSEL IS A GREAT PLACE TO START - IN ANY TACTICAL OR STRATEGIC OUTER SPACE SITUATION. THIS VESSEL APPEARS TO BE A 23rd CENTURY KLINGON BIRD OF PREY! ππ¦ β¨ Picard: ARE YOU SURE? LIKE I SAID WE'RE... PRETTY SURE IT'S ROMULAN. Data: ... Data: OF COURSE! SO SORRY ABOUT THAT, YOU'RE RIGHT! ON CLOSER EXAMINATION IT'S A ROMULAN VESSEL! CAN I RECOMMEND SOME SOONGβ’ BRAND PRODUCTS THAT CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT? Picard cradles his face in his hand in a gesture of frustration. Data: DID I MENTION THE PLIGHT OF OPRESSED WHITES IN SOUTH AFRICA?
