The internet sure is less utopian than predicted.

Giving people the technology for a window into how other people think apparently just makes them want to suppress other people's access to communication technology.

@petzilla Nice bottle opener

No idea if this is real.

This vein visualization technology uses near-infrared light, which is absorbed by blood but reflected by the surrounding tissue, to locate veins up to 15mm deep, and then projects the results back on the skin.

I spent about a month in bed, blindfolded, wearing ear defenders, barely speaking, and unable to tolerate normal light or sound.

What happened to my brain during that time was unexpected and extreme.

This is what it was actually like.

The Internet is fascinating. I can type something and thousands of miles away someone is disgusted by it.

We’re sharing the next major milestone in our non-invasive brain-to-text decoder research: Brain2Qwerty v2.

Building on v1, which was published today in @Nature, Brain2Qwerty v2 is the highest-performing end-to-end pipeline capable of real-time sentence decoding from raw brain signals. It advances beyond character-level performance to decoding words and semantics, enabling accuracy for overall communication.

We believe this research has the potential to make a real difference for the millions of people who suffer from brain lesions or disorders that prevent them from communicating.

The dura is the brain's armor: a membrane so tough that a surgeon normally cuts through it with a scalpel. For the first time in our clinical trials, we inserted the electrode threads of our implant straight through the dura and into the cortex, keeping the dura intact.

Here's how we did it 🧵

I wrote about Emma Pierson’s strange essay, 'I’d Rather Risk Cancer Than See AI Move This Fast'.

It begins with cancer, but pivots into her biggest worry: that AI might make her research and writing feel less fulfilling. (Yes, seriously.)

I think you're conflating and mixing up things. While I appreciate your effort to wrestle with it, you're collapsing disparate groups and reasons into something that sounds pat.

Many people are 'happy' to get a diagnosis because they've been going to doctors for years and told they're fine. I experienced this, and I continued to push through, worsen, injure myself constantly, etc. I wasn't fine, but I didn't 'want' a diagnosis, unless it was treatable (hopefully curable).

Which brings me to one of the main things - people are often relieved to get a diagnosis because they assume there will then be help. Few people realize how many illnesses have no adequate treatments.

What I always told (and tell) my doctors is I have no interest in a diagnosis unless it is actionable in some way. Same with tests. If there's a genetic test to tell whether I have a certain muscle fiber…can we do anything about it? And severity matters - when I could still shuffle around, I was less interested in 'community' because I was still trying to live what was left of my life.

But we have a society which elevates people with illness, which is part of your post. Put some acronyms in your bio, call yourself a warrior instead of just a very sick person, now you have (in your mind) some agency and moral support, if still no actual healthcare.

My own personal view (just mine) is that at the end of the day, most people just don't want to be sick. Yes, cancer survivors are a community, but most people would prefer to cure cancer rather than build a community around it.

Okay, that's my rant. Knew I shouldn't have paid for the extra characters.

@exist_bread @ThePOTSPostman T helps me. Gel, but I think smaller doses move the needle more for female patients.

[Existential Bread @exist_bread]

People (and sometimes LLMs - although I find they're better than most people) do not understand how wildly people's genetics can vary and how often you can have a condition that is not diagnosable - and 'treatment' ends up being just hopeful trial and error.

But I love when even doctors will say: well, that's not a normal reaction.

Yes, I'm aware - that's why I'm in your office.

Wish I had more to offer, but I imagine you've researched and tried a zillion things already.
