Bilirubin posted:Evolution works via positive and negative feedback to boost even incremental improvements/eliminate detriments, so it works much faster than the old canard of "this information being created through random processes it would take longer than the age of the universe!" Mutation is random, sure, but evolution doesn't wait for everything to fall into place perfectly in order to move on changes. And there are other factors that appear to increase rates of mutation during times of stress, and epigenetic effects that, while not DNA related directly, can help boost immediate responses to selective pressures. i mean, the fact that selective pressure exists and can force rapid genetic mutation and/or conservation doesn't contradict mutation being a stochastic process. it is. the entire concept of SNPs being used to track relatedness of individuals and other species is based upon those mutations arriving by chance. obviously the rates of mutation change based on environmental factors (radiation being a good example), but the mutations themselves are random in terms of outcome i feel like you were trying to make a point about that arxiv article but i'm missing it

UNPOSSILE!" which is absolutely not how this works. When arxiv authors argue something like "Thus, it represents a reliable storage for an intelligent signature" they appear to be arguing from an intelligent design perspective, which is what I am directly criticizing because that is how they (intelligent design proponents) frame stochasticity. But they conclude with "Overall, while the code is nearly optimized biologically [correct, to the degree anythign can be optimized in the face of stochastic forces like shifting climates or getting hit by a loving meteor or whatever], its limited capacity is used extremely efficiently to store non-biological information" which is a howler. edit for a quick comment on something you raised that I missed earlier: relatedness is tracked by *shared* rapid mutations that are passed on true, but the generational signal in non coding parts of the genome will rapidly get swamped over time because there is no conserving factor. This is why things like microsatellites are useful for tracking populations but for longer term evolution we tend to stick with more highly conserved portions of the genome, but different parts of the genome depending on the time scale: mDNA for reasonably short times, nDNA for longer terms. So with respect to preserving information, stochasticity alone won't cut it. Bilirubin has issued a correction as of 04:07 on Jun 18, 2021 |

I have just taken a look at the actual accepted abstract in Icarus (not a biological journal), which differs from what is listed in arxiv, and it makes some pretty outlandish claims. Tomorrow I'll fire up the VPN and download the PDF because now I'm curious what sort of "intelligent" code they have found, and how. edit: in the meantime, here is the evaluation of the paper on the Panda's Thumb: https://pandasthumb.org/archives/2021/02/genetic-code-wow-signal.html Bilirubin has issued a correction as of 04:18 on Jun 18, 2021 |

Here's another clearly misguided and incorrect "paper" making GBS threads on it. Hilariously shortsighted.

Hooplah posted:i used to listen to mysterious universe all the time but i feel like theyve fallen off quite a bit in the years since finding them. is this your official endorsement for a better pod than MU, or do you have any other suggestions? i'm not a fan of the completely credible true believer woo types, or the IFLS skeptic types either so it's tough finding anything decent on paranormal/weird poo poo WEH posted:Okay, so unfortunately if there is a replacement for what mysterious universe used to be I haven't found it. I used to use Open Minds UFO Radio and Podcast UFO to keep up with poo poo, but OMUR doesn't update anymore so I'm left with Podcast UFO. I honestly hesitate to recommend Podcast UFO because he isn't that great an interviewer, but he lets guests talk and is pretty down to earth. Astonishing Legends is good for some weird monster and UFO stories so is the Cryptonaut podcast, and Our Strange Skies Rah! has issued a correction as of 05:19 on Jun 18, 2021 |

i wonder what the aliens thought when those witches hexed the moon did aliens on the moon get hexed too? maybe they were finally about to show themselves to us and were going to stop climate change and eradicate all diseases and give us interdimensional orb technology, but then they got hexed and died

In which case they would quickly rue the day they brought an enraged Earth-Ape to their homeworld. Ive seen the pictures those puny bodies would snap like twigs. I see no downsides
