Not sure exactly which shot you're referring to, but here are some explanations:
Camera stable because strong tele lens, many kms away.
Radiation can be dealt with by covering camera housing with lead. Radiation isn't reflected like light, so you only need to cover in direction of the source.

You also have smell receptors on you skin, inside the lung and intestines. No kidding. They trigger hormone release based on their sensory reactions. Pretty interesting stuff.

2024-08-08 18:20:35

- reply

There's a direct neural link from the nasal cavity right into the brain stem. Neurons that pick up smell, and trigger your reptile brain. Smell is our oldest sense, and the most intimate one. BTW COVID attacked those neurons in a subset of people. That's what led to loss of smell/taste, as those very neural cells were converted to virus 🦠 particles. The five basic tastes (sour/bitter/salty/sweet/umami) are taken up in the mouth, but aroma is all in the nose.

Exactly. Physical experience leads to high frequency adaptation, rational (thinking) or social (exchanging ideas) to very low frequency adaptation. We are pretty unique in that we have that latter part, and it shaved. Complex language is an amazing tool.

In principle, yes. If you can exfiltrate any sequence of bits (eg a seed phrase), you can exfiltrate whatever you want (eg a BIP39 passphrase). But it may be impractical, and I don't know if there are actual exploits.

It stores them temporarily, and could exfiltrate them to the mempool or blockchain when used.

2024-08-08 06:34:39

- reply

Yes, I still do. It doesn't alter my physical experience, that one is too immediate. It did give me a new understanding about the importance of society, as one of the feedback mechanisms needed to adjust a brain to its environment. Without other people, you(r brain) is simply a reaction machine that's fed input from outside and inside sensors. It encorporates learned patterns over short timeframes (the higher the pain, the quicker the learning), and thus adapts itself to function properly in a given world. With exposure to others, that learning expands to incorporate feedback from other individuals in other circumstances. But the learning is relatively low and shallow, because of the lower pain levels. So long term, culture teaches our brain the collective knowledge of everyone, which is quite significant, because it takes place - for the most part - without individuals dying all the time, like they do in evolutionary processes.

BTCPrague is great, but getting a vignette so I can legally drive to there, is a nightmare. To get a concrete exemption from my (exempt by law because electric) car, I have to either
- upload the application, along with several proof documents, to a "databox" (a Czech thing unbeknownst to anybody else), or
- email the stuff to them, but with an electronic signature that only a Czech can produce, because it depends on their ID docs, or
- snail-mail it to Czechia, but with an officially verified signature (i.e. I have to make an appointment with my local citizen services office and pay them to verify that it's actually me, and rubber-stamp it)
Or, just pay €30.- for ONE DAY
