Discography
with Focus
gollark: We have quantum computing to some extent now. It's not magic. It just does some operations faster.
gollark: I'm not very hopeful about brain uploading soon, since brains are very complex, poorly understood in some bits, and would be very computationally intensive to simulate.
gollark: A good design would have it periodically back up to some kind of persistent storage, but noooo...
gollark: But the brain runs on not-very-persistent storage, and if you're "dead" too long some kind of cascade failure thing means you're stuck that way.
gollark: Biology: it's very weird and extremely complex.
