Yep, Cave Johnson it was. (What exactly does constitute for "Too much Portal?" ...Cue flashback to Journalist reciting the entirety of GLaDOS' ending monologue from Portal 1 - I think it was actually before Portal 2 came out.) ...If only fixing all the mistakes of throwing science at walls was as simple and doable as using a scalpel. But yeah, I spent last Friday and Monday installing deep-learning neural-network things that run on GPUs on three different cluster-computer nodes. These will be predominantly be used by language technologists, so maybe, someday, these will unite their computational prowess and write a really bad novel or something. (GPUs are essentially just massively parallel variants of CPUs, so you can have them do calculations not too unlike you would with a regular CPU, with the bonus of said massive parallelism.) On another note, there are a lot of parallels between the "undesirable" and "desirable" traits in humans. Read an article (one I've misplaced, admittedly) on it a while back. Being autistic is bad. But at the same time, we praise the kind of focus and dedication a fair number of those people manifest. Being uncaring in the face of human suffering and a kind of recklessness - your typical sociopathic traits - are bad. But at the same time, those are often the exact qualities needed for [i]saving[/i] people. In the end, genius can be hard to tell from insanity, and the same kind of fearlessness and cold blood that is often seen in serial criminals is also what is needed to knowingly run into a burning building and not seize up and/or panic when trying to manage multiple injured, screaming people. (You might recall me mentioning that I get too emotionally invested to ever want to be a doctor of the kind where failure actually can cost someone a life. Never mind the "but I don't want to cut holes into people"-part. But sure, I'll intervene a knifefight barehanded all right...) ([url=http://nypost.com/2015/08/14/scientists-create-super-clever-fearless-mice/]Also, apparently there is just one enzyme that affects both memory and fearlessness, at least in mice... Old news, but something I just remembered, with what we've been talking about, and some inadvertent comparisons I made back in the day...[/url]) Huh, and [i][b]being pedantic,[/b][/i] of all things, is also something you diagnose now? Well, my laptop's now a hat. I'm out.
