Update! A friend pointed out that the speech rates weren't correctly factoring in word error rate. Corrected effective bps is now in (1 − WER) × WPM × 5.17* / 60. *Shannon per-word entropy for English. This is the lenient choice. The Wolpaw mutual-information bps formula
Implanted Brain-Computer Interfaces are getting fast! They're approaching speeds that match unimpaired people typing. But... more electrodes won't be enough to break through the "motor barrier." - PL Capital reposted
We recently obtained the highest-resolution 3D images of the human brain ever taken from outside the skull. This is the first look. Introducing Aleph, a research lab building brain interfaces for the telepathic future. (1/n)

This is a 2h podcast of us talking about brains. How they work. What makes neuroscience hard. And how progress may look like.New episode with Dr. Konrad Kording (@KordingLab), professor of bioengineering and neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania (@Penn) and co-director of CIFAR's Learning in Machines & Brains program (@CIFAR_News).

The largest open-source humanoid in-the-wild dataset is now live — all collected in real homes! GP @lacey_wisdom recently argued that diverse data is critical to ensure failure-prevention across environments and to close the “sim-to-real gap,” wherein models that ace1/ Introducing HIW-500 (Humanoids-in-the-Wild 500): the largest open-source humanoid teleop dataset collected in real homes Built w/ @UnitreeRobotics @huggingface across 12 homes in Southeast Asia, it covers: > 500+ hrs > 23K+ episodes > 10+ TB > 10+ household tasks

.@plcapital's @lacey_wisdom makes the case that robotics is becoming the next arena for geopolitical competition — and that decentralization may be the best tool we have to prevent fragmentation. - PL Capital reposted@iroh_n0 is literally re-writing the internet - proud to back such an ambitious project at @plcapitalDial Keys, not IPs.

We backed the team behind @iroh_n0 because the internet shouldn't be a tangle of brittle IPs and middleboxes. Dial a key, get a secure, direct connection anywhere, over anything. After 4 years of building in the open, 1.0 is here. The future of connectivity is peer-to-peer, andDial Keys, not IPs.

We're excited about the US CLARITY Act. We think all YC companies will use crypto technology, like stablecoins, before long. Not just crypto startups, not just fintech startups, but every company. Here's why this law is such a big deal 🧵The Clarity Act passed committee. The floor is next. We did not come this far to quit at the 5 yard line. - What if your brain could tell you what you’re feeling before you could put it into words?

What if we could redesign AI to mirror biology’s efficiency? @TRReardon & the @flourishailabs team are exploring exactly that. By mapping neural connections in the human brain, they aim to develop biology-inspired AI that is radically more energy-efficient.
