Russian anon anime pfp has been cooking LK-99 in their kitchen. This is either a new class of 10x strength diamagnetism or it’s something along the lines of the Meissner Effect reproduced under extraordinary conditions.
Consider this looking into the eyes of God and the future.
Anime predicts the future way better than hollywood.
Tachikoma and other AI characters appearing in anime for decades are way more like chatgpt in personality than anything in hollywood.
wanna see how an AR world will actually look like? check out Dennou Coil
1.5 years of research later, and much help from amazing people, and Alphali (the
#NeosVR
version of Transflower) has produced natural-looking motion for the first time!!

lmaoo? used to redirect to chatgpt, and now it redirects to ? did musk just buy it off openai?
also kinda annoying coz i always used it to go to chatgpt but i guess not enough people must have, so that openai was willing to sell it
What if Microsoft is basically putting the equivalent of a 7 year old in charge of a large multinational business?
What if this is veering into child labour?/i.e. its hurting the development of the AI?

Yes I think the reason is that if you did binary you would need longer codons to encode for the 20 amino acids, and then the adjacent AAs wouldnt be bindable by the ribosome because they would be too far apart due to the longer codons
did u know that “avoiding escapism” is the most insidious form of escapism in modern society?
all the people arguing that exploring weird parts of experience space is immoral, are shunning away from Actual Reality, which is heccin Weird, out of fear
I am actually quite worried about AI companion tools. Call me old fashioned but humans should be spending time with humans, not AI companions.
Again, AI companions as a means to some end will be valuable to help people, but if there’s no off ramp back to reality, I’m worried.

Somnium Space is the first social VR platform integrating AI players naively in it. But its going to go muuuuch further than that.
We are building the infrastructure to let users record multimodal data to contribute to advancing AI, create content, and get rewarded from it. (1/n)
1⃣1⃣/ AI R&D: Over the past year, we've made substantial progress in the realm of

R&D at Somnium. This groundbreaking work has led to the implementation of EDF & Live Forever Mode, paving the way for transformative user experiences and valuable scientific contributions

This is a nice place to work:>
One day I'll be able to do this orbiting the moon of the real exoplanet hehe. One step at a time, we're building an every more awesome cosmos💫🚀
3D Gaussian Splatting is really impressive 🙂
Pushing some test here with 25 photos as input and only 10000 iterations.
Hair, eyelashes are incomparable to photogrammetry.
I'll bench against NeRF a bit more in detail soon!
every fucking gadget and thing around you is magical. That table in front of you. Do you have any idea of how it was made? Where its raw materials come from?
Do you not see how much we can do with the right knowledge/mastery of the Forces of Nature?
Imagine
Learn
Build It!
awooo. so proud of all the team!
We explored the idea of measuring synchronization of people’s brain waves, as they dance or do other activities, and visualizing it using AI and procedural generation!
Awaa we should explore it further:>
will share some vids soon!
I’m super excited to release this!
What do we want from a generalization theory of deep learning?
We propose 7 desiderata (Ds),
review how existing bounds do at them,
and show that a marginal-likelihood PAC-Bayes bound does better at most Ds
from all my deep learning experiments, one thing seems to hold the most universally: "it'll probably work if you leave it training for longer". Which is simultaneously amazing and annoying
a year ago I didnt know what a polycule, network state, neuromodulation, fNIRS, tomography, IPC, DDIM, FEM, fUS, consumer discovery, dissociatives, quaternion interpolation, cuda malloc, and many hundred of other things, were~~~
VR is the most literal instantiation I've experienced of Nietzsche's quote: "and those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music"
What happens to your brain when you take ketamine?
I received an injection of ketamine and had my brain imaged with

They first detect bounding boxes using a CNN. They use a multiscale to detect text of multiple sizes, and allow four orientations of text. Given the CNN heat map I guess they use some simple algorithm to draw the actual boxes

@Workadventure_
^w^ Managed to make a two way video call between 2D and VR where we call hear each other with very little lagg!!
somehow I feel like this hints at a kind of post human culture/reality adjacent to ours, where people in that adjacent reality can identity each other by the right subtle nod

People without much writing experience are unlikely to be good at judging the quality of text so they think it may be good enough
the poster session of the future (VR conf 2019)
-- actually in future people will take more advantage of 3D environment
-- but the eco-friendly remote collaboration part and cute avatars they got right ^_^
Whats even cooler than making your own software?
Making your own hardware:>
Come to Tholin's 2nd presentation on the series on Open Source Silicon in
#VRChat
, tomorrow at 8pm UTC, and learn how making your own chips is not as hard as it sounds!
i kinda wanna have a kind of monastery where they teach you maths in a very deep way by learning to meditate in a particular way that exercises your imagination in functional kinds of ways
idk how to express what i mean but it makes sense in my head
omg.. whaat?
this sounds, potentially *extremelly* useful for intracortical BCIs.
bacteria-thick probably-self-assemblying conducting filaments?
some synthetic biologist + neurotech person need to look at thiss!
This is not hair.
Each 'cable' is hundreds of bacterial cells, attached to each other end-to-end.
These "cable bacteria" conduct electricity. Each cell has a filament in its cytoplasm that passes along electrons. They were discovered in a lake near Aarhus, Denmark.

is great for dancing in FBT! This was my first time checking it and also uploading my avi, and it worked great!

What happens if you combine transformers, with normalizing flows for sequence modelling of high-dim continuous signals?
You get Transflower 🌻, and we demonstrate its capabilites, by teaching a model to dance:)💃

’s fireside chat with Dean at Vitalia, on the intersection of longevity and psychedelics. Very productive conversation from two minds/communities that think very differently, and thats always a pleasure to see:>
I’m beyond excited to be able to show this!!
This is the reason I joined Somnium. We are working extremely hard to make Somnium V3.0 the best and most capable Social VR platform to date.
Specially excited to show the AI integrations I’ve been working on. check the whole thread<3
my first ultrasound propagation simulations in the brain:3
one small wave for the brain. one giant leap for mindkind^^
plan to extend NDK to include better physics, as well as inverse problems later on, for imaging
@TetraspaceWest
my guess is that as the water is spreading appart, its having to thin out which the surface tension opposes (generally surface tension opposes stuff that increases surface to volume ratio) causing it to bounce back
