So lockdown got me scribbling and this is what i came up with😊 @AfricaFactsZone @eygyimah @jeffwellz @gyaigyimii @thenanaaba @ameyaw112

It will be very interesting to test these devices in blind-from-birth people, given the seemingly permanent reduced metabolic activity of neurons in the their primary visual cortex due to sensory deprivation.

[John F Kennedy Jr @John_F_kJr]

🚨 THIS IS GOING TO BREAK THE INTERNET!

Elon Musk just dropped Neuralink's craziest bombshell:

“In the next 6 to 12 months, we're going to implant the first vision devices. Even if you're 100% blind from birth, we're going to write directly to your visual cortex… and you're going to see.”

“And that's just the beginning. In the long term, you'll have ultra-HD resolution and real superpowers: you'll see in infrared, ultraviolet, and even radar. Literally like a superhero.”

The future is no longer science fiction. It's Neuralink.

@AttoGladys @Osy_VP Exactly

[Manuel☆YHWH @AddaiEmmanuel16]

@Osy_VP @AttoGladys …lol, then that post is terrible way of describing immune privilege of the eye. And the eye is not the only immune privilege organ of the body. So the statement is not well-written at all. It’s a scientific clickbait.

[Manuel☆YHWH @AddaiEmmanuel16]

…but the eyes are part of the body

[Gladys Atto @AttoGladys]

Scientific fact:
Your body does not know that you have eyes. The moment it gets to know, it will make you blind.

Your entire life is about maintaining that secret!

…on the path to know more

Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

Today, America wakes 250 years later as a beacon of hope, a republic entrusted to its people, an idea that changed the world.

A nation worth preserving. A dream worth pursuing. A freedom defended by every generation.

Happy 250th, America! 🇺🇸

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

For 250 years, America has been the greatest nation on Earth — and with God’s grace, it will be for 250 more.

Happy Independence Day!

POV: finding a high impact paper that covers your exact thesis notion.

New inControl episode out! 🎙 This time Steve Brunton, aka @eigensteve 🎥, walks us through data-driven modeling and control: from DMD and Koopman operator theory, to SINDy, explainable AI 🤖, HydroGym 🌊, and how to teach math to half a million people! 🚀

…and your eye can detect a single photon

[parm🔬 @parmita]

your nose can detect a single molecule of certain thiols. one molecule. no mass spec on earth is that sensitive. you are already the most advanced instrument in the room and nobody told you

[Manuel☆YHWH @AddaiEmmanuel16]

New paper from my lab (not an author): Even though there are gap junctions n lateral connections (horizontal or amacrine cells) between neighboring cones and neighboring downstream neurons. Visual information captured by individual cones do not mix up, at least up to the LGN 1/2

Great timing, something for tonight

[Dwarkesh Patel @dwarkesh_sp]

The Terence Tao episode.

We begin with the absolutely ingenious and surprising way in which Kepler discovered the laws of planetary motion.

People sometimes say that AI will make especially fast progress at scientific discovery because of tight verification loops.

But the story of how we discovered the shape of our solar system shows how the verification loop for correct ideas can be decades (or even millennia) long.

During this time, what we know today as the better theory can often actually make worse predictions (Copernicus's model of circular orbits around the sun was actually less accurate than Ptolemy's geocentric model).

And the reasons it survives this epistemic hell is some mixture of judgment and heuristics that we don’t even understand well enough to actually articulate, much less codify into an RL loop.

Hope you enjoy!

0:00:00 – Kepler was a high temperature LLM
0:11:44 – How would we know if there’s a new unifying concept within heaps of AI slop?
0:26:10 – The deductive overhang
0:30:31 – Selection bias in reported AI discoveries
0:46:43 – AI makes papers richer and broader, but not deeper
0:53:00 – If AI solves a problem, can humans get understanding out of it?
0:59:20 – We need a semi-formal language for the way that scientists actually talk to each other
1:09:48 – How Terry uses his time
1:17:05 – Human-AI hybrids will dominate math for a lot longer

My experience: 3b1b is not to learn from scratch, it’s to get the intuition to build and manipulate ideas. Eg. the moment you get to know that matrix operations are just transformation of spaces, it gives you a powerful framework to formalize and solve your own problems.

[varepsilon @var_epsilon]

that's 3b1bslop. you only like it because you think you're learning math

LLMs are amazing and mind blowing today, but make trivial mistakes tomorrow

Yesterday, I asked ChatGPT 5.2 to modify an existing code. It basically rewrote the whole code, added fxns.Worked on first try. I later noticed a bug. Deleted all the codes, thought about the problem for a few mins, modified 3 lines of my old code, problem was solved with no bug.

Experience no longer really matters in software engineering. Opus 4.5 basically levelled the playing field. Jesus - 10 years of my life were for nothing
