Environments are so messy in Cowboy Bebop and I think it's interesting that old people react to it with "omg this world feels so organic and lived in and natural" while younger people react with "jesus christ doesnt anyone clean in this universe? Why is everyone a fucking junkie? Christ some kid's playing the harmonica in a smoking room".

I get why small viruses aren't considered life but I just don't understand why giant viruses are considered nonliving while intracellular oblobigate bacteria like rickettsia are considered to be alive.

It's not really a question of size, but functionality. Viruses have no capability to reproduce on their own, and no biologica funtions other than to stick to and infect host cells. They technically can't even move on their own. They don't move, breed, eat, breath or fuck: they're better described as objects than living things; plausibly the vestige of some bygone cell-signalling method gone horribly wrong.

This is is also true of intracellular obligate bacteria.

The proof is evident and pretty straightforward. Everything that manifest into the physical realm has an associated waveform, a crude example of that is the intrinsic resonance of all matter.

I'm sorry, I don't have the proper reference at hand but I found something that might help.

>Resonant Frequencies
>Every physical system has a resonant frequency.

The above gives you a glimpse on the mundane scale, the Earth has its own frequency at macro scale, and going to the micro scale we enter into the electric semiconductors' realm where funny things begin to happen. Suffice to say that if demonic activity can be felt, then that presence must be accompanied by a resonance, also the inverse might be valid.

>Everything that's a wave is spiritual.
In the days of the birth of the internet a group of people did an experiment to banish any demons (paranormal/spiritual beings) from hardware/software. Things crashed and the connection cut before the planet wide banishment occurred fully.
There is correlation of spiritual matters and material matters that's been known for ages.
>>2402
>Waves can do cool stuff.
Like matter and waveforms, beings that are spiritual do also exhibit those qualities barring the stranger ones but those ones aren't a concern right now.
What can be tested is physical effects of stuff made of matter behaving differently when compared to matter that has such beings and when compared to matter in a zone designed to block such beings.
A huge issue is accounting for all the variables and errors.
There's much more than just String Theory but also Spiritual.

I think the point is to create coherent messages from neural networks. It's pretty groundbreaking for the future of cybernetics and/or other computation. Being able to translate an image from electrodes hooked to brainwaves is a pretty big deal. Those images are clearly faces, and recognizably monkey faces (the dark eyeholes, pronounced browline and pale face surrounded by darker colors are a dead giveaway): the machine was able to interpret images from the monkey's memory and imagination by analyzing the part of its brain that produces abstract thoughts.

To be fair, in 1983 there wasn’t really a dedicated market for gaming PCs. Early personal computers were like early cell phones, in that most people who bought them were either professionals who needed them for some legitimate business reason, or else rich consoomers who just wanted to own the latest gadget. Games for PCs existed but they were super primitive and mostly text based. Video game culture was still mainly in the arcades. I think home consoles also started appearing at this time. Either way, only serious geeks owned home computers for gaming, and most gamers were also programmers. The Commodore 64 was the most popular rig for this type of hobbyist, and that was much more reasonably priced.
