Determining priority
The formula to determine which feature gets implemented first is pretty straightforward:
(relevance for the project + UX improvement) / (added complexity x speed impact x development time)
Digital Twin Brain
https://github.com/DTB-consortium/Digital_twin_brain-open

Here, we present the Digital Brain (DB), a platform for simulating spiking neuronal networks at the large neuron scale of the human brain based on personalized magneticresonance-imaging data and biological constraints. The DB aims to reproduce both the resting state and certain aspects of the action of the human brain. An architecture with up to 86 billion neurons and 14,012 GPUs, including a two-level routing scheme between GPUs to accelerate spike transmission up to 47.8 trillion neuronal synapses, was implemented as part of the simulations. We show that the DB can reproduce blood-oxygen-level-dependent signals of the resting-state of the human brain with a high correlation coefficient, as well as interact with its perceptual input, as demonstrated in a visual task. These results indicate the feasibility of implementing a digital representation of the human brain, which can open the door to a broad range of potential applications.

TIL Google Code was a thing

https://code.google.com/archive/

Welcome! The Google Code Archive contains the data found on the Google Code Project Hosting Service, which was turned down in early 2016.

This archive contains over 1.4 million projects, 1.5 million downloads, and 12.6 million issues.
TIL about ELIZA, a 1960s chatbot created by MIT professor Joseph Weizenbaum that simulated a psychotherapist.

[source, comments]

ELIZA wasn't actually "smart" in the way we think of AI today. It used a very simple pattern-matching system and didn't understand language or context at all. The program basically worked by:

1. Looking for specific keywords in user input
2. Applying simple transformation rules
3. Reflecting statements back as questions
4. Using a few pre-programmed responses when it couldn't match patterns

For example, if you said "I am feeling sad", ELIZA might respond "Why do you feel sad?" - simply taking your statement and turning it into a question. Or if you mentioned your mother, it would ask about your family.

The fascinating thing about ELIZA was not its technical sophistication (which was very basic), but rather how people *responded* to it. Even though it was using simple tricks, people projected meaning onto its responses and felt like they were having a real conversation. This is known as the "ELIZA effect" - where people attribute human-like understanding to computer programs.

Regarding the 2023 study you mentioned - while interesting, it's important to note that ELIZA only performed better in very specific circumstances and the study has been subject to some criticism regarding its methodology.

Playing Chess with 84,688 Regular Expressions
Article, Comments

Github: https://github.com/carlini/regex-chess

A 2-ply mini-max search chess engine in 84,688 regular expressions.
RegexChess is a complete chess engine that plays moves making regular expression transforms to a given board state. It implements a 2-ply minimax search algorithm and generates moves in about 5-10 seconds.

Portspoof

Portspoof has a huge database of dynamic service signatures, that will be used to generate fake banners and fool scanners.
https://github.com/drk1wi/portspoof

Scanning software usually tries to determine a service version that is running on an open port. Portspoof will respond to every service probe with a valid service signature, that is dynamically generated based on a service signature regular expression database.

As a result an attacker will not be able to determine which port numbers your system is truly using. All 65535 TCP ports are always open.
