There's a lot of other interesting biology besides propagation of electrical signals. Examples include: 1/ Transport of mRNAs (in specialized vesicle structures!) between neurons. 2/ Activation and integration of retrotransposons during brain development (which I have long hypothesized acts as a sort of randomization function for the neural field). 3/ Transport of proteins between and within neurons. This isn't just adventitious movement, either - neurons have a specialized intracellular transport system that allows them to deliver proteins to faraway locations (think >1 meters).

But, you can get absolutely destroyed on life insurance and, just as critically, long-term care insurance. Genetic discrimination is perfectly legal in those domains.

I know it’s not a phone, but a few friends and I built this for the Newton MessagePad back in 1998-9 with exactly this vision.

The new HPC Graviton3E instances (https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/hpc7g/) are pretty great for CFD and simulation workloads.
Re:Newton FAQ on Saturday January 21, 2023 @06:27PM (#34471966)
Yes. I wrote the web server for it back in 1998. It was actually pretty cool since we also integrated a public "wall", calendar and contacts sharing, instant messaging, and even a federated discovery protocol for other Newton servers.

There's also evidence of mRNA transmission (packaged into capsids) between neurons!
