Microsoft wants me to install the Start app on my Android tablet to read this. I decline.

Microsoft tries so hard haha

It's sort of getting out of hand tbh. I mean, look at microsoft edge. To set another browser as your default browser on windows, you need to change a mass amount of settings and edge will still find a way to open!

Thinking about how this may apply to AI, this research seems to be saying that the distribution of neurons is not a normal distribution, but more akin to the population of a country, where there are dense clusters of neurons amid a mostly sparse network, the same way populations heavily cluster in urban areas. We don’t yet know the reason for that structure, but it appears across species and across different regions…

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but if neurons are clustered together like humans do, what's in the spaces where there are no neurons, the not populated area? Is it fat or maybe water?
