I only briefly attended medical school, a dropout... I have reduced several cadavers into buckets of slop: we are much simpler than most believe =D

Do you have any thoughts on DishBrain's complexity?

That's too complicated for the unwashed masses

Maybe it's not actually simple?

Tepix | karma 11535 | avg karma 2.3 · | 2015-10-20 10:18:49+00:00

What's that complexity that you are implying?

eru | karma 30335 | avg karma 1.29 · | 2023-04-11 21:32:12

Yes, it's complicated.

kozak | karma 1859 | avg karma 3.05 · | 2017-05-17 11:16:05+00:00

It's much more complex than that.

I'm both impressed and horrified by complexity of this.

Everything you don't understand seems like it could be dumber.

The details prop up only when you delve into it or start experiencing issues.

There is a relevant quote from Einstein here : "Make things as simple as possible, but not simpler."

As the blog title has it, it's needlessly complex.

captaincaveman | karma 294 | avg karma 1.28 · | 2022-02-10 15:24:24

It's certainly a complex mess :)

OK sure, any time someone says on the internet that something is sophisticated someone will say it's straightforward. So I guess it's a continuum. The thing you describe is more sophisticated than what they would have to do if they had access to the final layer.

So true, we take the complexity for granted. It's actually a really hard problem.

tgragnato | karma 1322 | avg karma 2.32 · | 2017-05-15 17:45:53+00:00

And that's even more bewildering ... Needless complexity over needless complexity.

robotixonic | karma 5 | avg karma 1.25 · | 2019-05-31 12:35:31+00:00

I'm a layman too, and just watched this https://youtu.be/bTxLAGchWnA to better understand the complexity.

ekianjo | karma 34827 | avg karma 2.44 · | 2013-07-28 07:44:16+00:00

I'm not saying anything is impossible. But all the solutions we find are usually complex and not easy. A phone is complex. A computer is complex. Transistors are complex. Organs transplant is complex.

So why do we expect the answer to food to be a simple bunch of ingredients mixed together?

I guess it's a lot more complicated than it looks at a cursory glance.

vram22 | karma 2461 | avg karma 0.61 · | 2016-03-30 19:17:38+00:00

Wow. That sure is complex.

adamnemecek | karma 57571 | avg karma 6.54 · | 2013-06-10 00:52:10+00:00

It's more complex than that.

bdrool | karma 804 | avg karma 7.81 · | 2017-04-06 13:37:11

Oh, come on.

I doubt it's all that sophisticated.

I doubt it's so simple.
