If it's doing the same processes, following the same logic, making the same choices based on its same internal logic and memories, and producing the same output then how could it not be conscious? We already construct small systems that work on the same spiking neural network model that the brain uses. The system works without ghosts. https://www.elen.ucl.ac.be/Pro...
What many people here are advocating is that there is some kind of magic ghost that rides on top your brain pulling switches and making everything work, but then what does the magic ghost think with?
Why would it matter if it was continuously functioning. Your brain may not always be functioning. At least not all of it while in a coma or when sedated. You could copy a brain but it needs to be diced first. Then each cube shaved and scanned layer by layer. Then put the digitized form is reconstructed in the computer and remapped to appropriate hardware. Make multiple copies if you want to. Perhaps read a bunch of books and remap back to a common image. It could get interesting.
Anyway logic is interchangeable between devices. This is mathematically proven. Execution time and size may be different.
Sure, if you're just flashing lights on the screen. Here, this robot has an encoder on each of its two drive wheels two feet apart. Now navigate the robot to several given positions on the floor. Good thing it's CS so don't need any of that Math stuff. CS is not just reinstalling windows all day.
Exactly, the Republicans fielded a pack of retards this year and put Trump into the mix to make them look normal. The Democrats have Hillary with all her political baggage and allowed Sanders to play to make her look like a centrist. I don't agree with socialism but, we allowed capitalism to end when we stopped trust busting. A market without real competition can not be called capitalism. The only people competing now are employees for jobs and we can't sell off out manufacturing capabilities fast enough. Sanders at least wants what's best for the country but will not have free reign to implement all his socialist ideas. It would be interesting to see the Trump vs Sanders election. I sure hope there is an independent running this year. No, I am not an unemployed millennial with a degree in art history.
I look a the difference between Kim Dotcom and other media moguls. Am forced to say it's just connections to people in power. You-tube founders didn't go to prison and it was also used for piracy when it started. The difference is that Google bought Youtube and not Mega. Also, who is paying the sock puppets on this site. Fix the roads guys. The guy let people share files online and that makes him a terrible criminal, I miss./ . He's clearly worse than Binladen because he's fat crass and let people pirate files on his service instead of pirating though other channels. Politics is about pitting one set of scoundrels against another set of scoundrels so they don't let each other get away with things. The peasants get a little bit of freedom in the wash because the scoundrels are in competition for votes.
When I was shopping for a car last year, I looked at the electrics available. The Tesla costs more than a house so it was right out. The price difference of the cheapest electric cars was larger that a lifetimes worth of gas for the the comparable gas vehicle. That is even neglecting the cost of electricity. This needs to be fixed or it doesn't matter what tipping points are posted in the blogs. Electric cars price most people right out of the market.
Yes, clearly Earth is the best place to get resources. They certianly would want to venture down it to our gravity well to get out water ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ) and our precious metals ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ). They may want to eat us ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ). But maybe these are all the stupid ideas of stupid primates. They are just as likely to visit for our political and religious ideas.
The most likely explanation for lack of contact is that there is nothing but pain to be experienced by dealing with us. We still degrade form old age and die from cancer. We murder each other over stupid plants and petty territorial squabbles. If aliens know us they wouldn't want contact.
"Don't you have laws against unlicensed people fiddling with brakes?" That's all we need, some buracracy telling me I need a piece of paper to repair my brakes. We already have enough certificates that mean absolutly nothing. So instead of putting my car on jackstands and switching out the pads and bleading the system my self for $80. I go to a "Certified" loser and pay $8,000 for a guy to mangle up the fasteners and use substandard parts. But that's ok, I have a piece of paper saying it was done so I am leagle. P.S. I'm selling oil change insurance, would anyone like to buy?
"does the same result apply to biological networks?" Of course we just rely on other parts of our brain and use logic to throw these out. I once saw an old carpet rolled up on the side of the road and OMG it looked like a rhino. But I knew this was not a rhino.
It might be the other way around. Were to the proteins responsible source from? Head or body. Like that experiment where they sew a young and old mouse together as a kind of Siamese twin.
The problem here is that, the Bit Torrent trackers insert IP numbers randomly and non randomly, that are not actually connected. These people are then logged as copyright infringes, despite having nothing to do with the tracker. This is not hard to do and does muddy the waters for the know nothing CSI monkeys who think that this is hard evidence of liability or infringement.
The difference is the ideas. The idea of America is being lost. What is leftover when that is gone is just another place. May as well be called just Homeland. The ideas that are traditionally associated with America are not espoused by those that use the term Homeland.

Here sort these items by the 3rd row in the even columns and the 5th row in the odd columns. (Proceeds to start cutting and pasting with the mouse.)

Flywheels are great for theoretical physicists not so great for material engineers.
"That and preventing users from NOTbooting Linux."
Oh, they mean the users trust.
Seriously, most of the problem is education. Encryption and not doing stupid things is the key. That and preventing users from booting Linux.

This is probably cheaper that life time care for a quadriplegic.
It might be the other way around. Were to the proteins responsible source from? Head or body.
Like that experiment where they sew a young and old mouse together as a kind of Siamese twin.

Actually... Remember that experiment where they sew the mice together. The question may be, are these GDF-11 proteins made in the head.

Now they just need to sell off their "Entertainment division" and become an electronics company again.
