Santa Ana The wind blows hard when I run the first worm. I am not a hacker, but it's easy enough: opening the last shell, sticking some commands from GitHub, seeing the stratified characters down the screen. Like in the movie. I scan the code transmitted to the words that can be recognizednerve cellsThen nerve“When a friend came to pick me up for dinner. A second, I shouted from my office.” I was just running a worm on my computer. “
At Korean restaurant, energy is Hung Cam; The wind is bending the palm trees in the waist and sending the shopping car to the parking lot. The atmosphere feels rising and not real, like a podcast at double speed. You are doing, why, a cyber criminal? My friend asked. In Din, I tried to explain: No, not a worm like Stuxnet. A worm like Richard Scarry.
When I got home, it was dark, and the first sparks fell Altadena. On my laptop, waiting for me in a volume pixel box, a worm. Only at the end, it floating in a fog of particles, sticky and immobile. Of course, that is no longer alive. However, it looked more dead than dying for me. Later, Bravo, he said Stephen Larson, when I arrived at him that night. You have achieved a simulation state of 'hello world'.
Larson is the co -founder of I radical OpenAn open source software effort has tried, since 2011, to build a computer's computer simulation called it is called Caenorhabd Elegans. His goal is nothing more than a pair of digital twins of the worm, exactly down to the molecule. If Openwom can manage this, it will be the first virtual animal and the embodiment of all our knowledge not only C. ElegansAs one of the most researched animals in science, but about how the brain interacts with the world to create behaviors: the holy cup, as Openworm said, about systemic biology.
Unfortunately, they did not manage it. The simulation on my laptop takes data from experiments done with live worms and converts it into a calculation frame called C302, then controls the simulation muscles of A of A of A of A C. Elegans WORM in a liquid dynamic environment, all, a simulation of how a worm tappes ahead in a flat sheet of good. It takes about 10 hours of calculating time to create five seconds of this behavior.
Too many things can happen for 10 hours. A Ember can walk on the wind, down from the foot of the hill and go to the city to sleep. That night, according to Larson's advice, I adjusted the time parameters of the simulation, beyond the world of Hello Hello and deeper into the strange valley of Worm. The next morning, I woke up with a strange orange cloud, and when I opened my laptop, Bleary's eyes, two things that made my heart ignore: Los Angeles was burning. And my worm has moved.
At this point, You can ask yourself a very reasonable question. Back in Korea, between Bites of Bitchan, my friend also asked it. The question is like this: Uhh … why? Why, when faced with all our precarious green world, in all the issues out there to solve, anyone will spend 13 years trying to encrypt a micro worm into the existence?
