Louis Scheffer of @HHMIJanelia promises us a whole simulated Drosophila within 5-10 years. If they fail I get beer, if they succeed I buy beer. I am pretty confident. Why do people believe the path from connectomics to simulation is short?
It'd be nice to have this really public, like http://longbets.org/ (e.g., the famous http://longbets.org/362/ ) or the SLAC theory group's betting book on particles (via https://www.wired.com/2002/05/longbets/ … ).pic.twitter.com/GMd5K2rrdA
