Welcome to high end academic neuroscience. It's a place where banal, but completely rational explanations are to be ignored in favour of hyperbole and media hype. The study will have been designed to only allow for…
There is at least one person with five incisors between their canines in the real face camp.
The SixthSense talk and the associated hype in 2009 was terrible. It was impossible to convince the majority that the cuts of demos in the TED talk were effectively choreographed set pieces, even though many scenes…
Agreed. The headline is fascinating the content is appalling. PNAS reporting the shocking news that peoples heart rates tend to increase during the exciting part of a story and that an increased rate leads to higher…
If it proved that this was a lab leak and evidence suggests the lab leak was covered up there will be a seismic shift in international relations with China across the globe. I would not call that irrelevant in the…
There are plenty of people who feel and think the same. Many people find it very difficult to understand that money is not always a motivator. This is a particularly difficult concept for managers to deal with. If an…
> He is one of the most ethical people in the information security industry. What does this statement actually mean? To my mind both cryptocurrency and cypherpunk culture have set some fairly low bars for ethical and…
The accused internet accounts are all linked via Keybase. The usernames and content go back as far as 2004. Lots of this information is already common knowledge in the UK because of previous scandals. At what point do…
Is it acceptable to explain what happened on ycombinator or is the information banned here too? This is all documented on the Reddit admin concerneds Wikipedia page. It is relatively common knowledge in the UK. Reddit…
Did the site have a video stream in the centre and a chat box below it? There were often streams of storms filmed from a beach front location?
Quite a lot simpler to seperate the mixed signals using a modern multi-electrode array.
So, to be clear, the signal of interest does not go above 1kHz. Obviously if you want to sample a signal you have to use a higher frqeuency.
What signals do you mean? Brain waves measured in EEG typically range from 0.5 Hz and above.
Doesn't reconstruction like this rely on the decoding mechanism being trained on the original images? This doesn't scale to reconstructing any visual image, only to differentiating between those the decoder has already…
You claim: > Human beings didn't evolve to be rational creatures - we're not Vulcans. We're born with good-enough rules for making sense of the environment around us and maintaining harmony with the people around us.…

To be frank, I take issue with manifold and polyglot because both come across as unnecessarily pretentious use of english. The secondary problem is that I looked in two places to find 'what' the project is. Instead of…
Not to cast aspersions but a big part of the homelab "scene" appears to be aesthetics. If you look at Reddit's /r/homelab/ the majority of the top posts over the past year are about how things look. Variations of "wife…

Did you read the first line of the article? "The richest one percent of the world’s population are responsible for more than twice as much carbon pollution as the 3.1 billion people who made up the poorest half of…
Not to burst your bubble but I don't think they're not predicting X,Y,Z limb positions in that demo. The traces on the left don't line up with the video, what would they actually represent? It looks a lot more like the…
I struggled to find the meat in this article and a quick google of the terms involved only really brings back the same article, which is almost 3 years old now. On top of that the story is a cookie cutter rewrite of…
