What is your argument? Android is one of the most successful software projects of all time. It seems easily monetizable.

First put five people from the same company in a room with an adjustable thermostat and see what happens.

“Scientists have proven octopuses are complex, intelligent creatures who can feel a full range of emotions,"

These animals get a lot of hype for their intelligence lately, but surely cows and horses are more intelligent, yet still farmed and eaten.

If there is a 'god equation' it will almost certainly include a+b=c because we use it all the time to describe "diverse biological systems with vast implementation constraints".

This article is lacking originality and insight to such degree that I susupect it is patentable.

Sure :)

Most people cannot hold themselves (or their loved ones) accountable because we love ourselves and accept any excuse at all. This is the main appeal of personal trainers imo, to tell you to do what you already know you should.

Great idea. Also, thank you for making it human.

There are bosons that carry charges and/or mass like the weak bosons and the gluons. There is nothing in principle about bosons that would make them incapable of building logic gates out of them.

Some advanced civilization (future us) may use them. Even photons interact with each other a little bit due to QED.

Possibly because being in the business of trying to turn iq edge into money, not data edge into money.

A myopic defocus screen effect. Some gradient descent may be used to approximate a difficult mathematical function, but not AI in any meaningful way.

Applying multiple svg filters on top of each other in the needed order resulted in Firefox dropping the filters completely. I filed a bug for Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1873644 As soon as it is fixed there will be a Firefox extension, and the live demo on the site will start working.

The Mac version is in progress.

I will submit a request for exception/deeper review to the vendor that flagged the exe. I can also offer a full refund and reversal of the sale if you can not make use of the software at the moment due to your security concern. The exe and the installer are signed by the company I established for the project Refractify LLC.

Thank you, 1. As long as the myopia is progressing there is an opportunity to slow that and avoid complications of high myopia. While screen altering may in principle go beyond the effectiveness of optical devices for myopia control as we can provide arbitrary input to the retinal neural network, realistically myopia reversal for adult humans is not considered achieveable. Intervention should ideally be started as soon as possible. In fact there is the possibility of delaying the onset of myopia or fully preventing it for some future generations, but obviously we are a long way off from there in terms of clinical studies.

2. I think undercorrection is somewhat related. I have not yet read the study you linked, I usually refer to this review for undercorrection. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9213207/ I think it would be possible to achieve some results that way as some of the studies from the review suggest, but in practice it is difficult to precisely control the amount of myopic defocus on the retina that you get that way. Most of the time you get no myopic defocus at all due to accomodation and with strong undercorrection you risk losing the visual cues to the sign of defocus, which results in deprivation myopia. I think this is the reason that MiSight contact lenses are known to be effective, while naive undercorrection has mixed results at best.

If you induce myopic defocus by plus lenses you create an urge to move the screen closer, which removes the effect. We need to achieve the right defocus on the retina. Wheres with the software solution you can not "cheat" by moving closer.

Most optical properties of myopic defocus can be simulated on screen. Since the processing is on the retina, screen altering can be effective. Android app is in progress.

Thank you for the kind words. Smart phones are in progress, yes. Apple will possibly not like it as it alters the look, but we will try and see.

Since last summer I learnt some about emmetropization, visual cues to myopia control and the state of consumer software business. Please let me know if you would like to discuss anything.

In the EU if a software is influencing diagnosis decisions of a doctor in any way it needs to be registered as a medical device software. Probably a similar regulation can be expected in the United States too.

I work on such a project. It projects myopic defocus on the screen based on longitudinal chromatic aberration. The project is in pre-clinical stage. You can try it out at https://refractify.io/ . It is aimed at recreating the visual myopic defocus signal that makes lens based myopia control techniques work. There are some promising results on animal myopia models.

How exactly is BTC not lost when it is sent to an inactive person that is possibly not alive?

That money is by all probability lost, and this transaction looks at best like a weird flex, or an unlikely attempt to prove some connection to satoshi.

I mean, currently you have to wait for a human to summarize a book, before you can read an llm rephrasing of that summary. Or you have to buy the book and pass it to the llm employing some tricks to avoid reunning out of context length.

Most importantly due to the context length not being long enough. If the context length was long enough, it is possible that they could do it with clever training. I only trained much smaller language models though.

Current LLMs can not summarize books even if they are in their training set. It is only possible if the training set also includes human summaries.

Yep, heat is heat. If you manage to swap in your hardware for grandma's electric heater, you have free electricity for whatever you do.

But you need to make sure that the hardware is operated for sufficient time to pay for itself. Without end users harvesting your hw, data.

I think there can be a business to be made here, but it is not trivial at all.

The real invention is having a model that converges, does not lose the gradients, and having a framework to reliably train lots of parameters. Imo it is not historically accurate that next token prediction is the big invention. Some language models predict blanked tokens in the middle of sentences that are modern and interesting, and old language models like rnn-s are being used for quite some time, predicting next tokens one by one.

Can somebody explain, what exactly is "ignition"? If even a single helium atom is fused you have "more energy than you have put into it". That does not seem impressive.

The demo may be fake, but people genuinely love it. the top comment on youtube of that demo is still:

"Absolutely mindblowing. The amount of understanding the model exhibits here is way way beyond anything else."

The distance to the second closest supermarket is what matters. I dread living in a city (again) that has only one supermarket.

Regular people talk illegal things on messenger all the time, and if law enforcement gets addicted to sweet data requests, users will flee to wherever.

E2E messaging is a better product. Offering it free (at a loss) makes it hard to beat.

What's more, some major govts may be prompted to ban E2E, so they keep their data and kill Signal and others, while they are the 'good guys'.

FB can probably create a 99% accurate ad profile on you with just metadata, likes and tracking you on the web. If not they can push local profiling models on your phone.

With all that said, I still think it is a genuinely good thing for humanity as it is now, and I am cautiously optimistic.

Feels like we need to have less than 1% uncertainity in that parameter.
