Unreal. I had to go back to the original Tweet to confirm that screenshot wasn’t faked. The comment clearly says “Mirror’s the reference design’s” I don’t know how they could try to spin that as anything other than having an LLM launder som

Showing us a technique that is entirely reliant on sparseness and then saying they hope to employ it on something that isn’t sparse at all (blood cells) does feel misleading. I’m filing this in the category of technologies I wish could be t

Certainly the thing of sci-fi nightmares, but not practical. All of these imaging techniques are very involved. Ultrasound requires direct contact and this technique only works with a long IV infusion of bubbles. fMRI isn’t going to be a po

The Midjourney scanners don’t do the same thing that this is using. See how blurry the first image on the page is? That’s what you get from ultrasound through bone like the skull. They used a trick to inject sparse bubbles into the patient

You’re missing the point. If the tokens are truly anonymous then none of this matters. There’s no way to discover or prove where the tokens came from. It could be someone in another country with stolen IDs, which are now a goldmine for mint

Yes, this is the part of the issue that is so frequently ignored: Anonymous age verification schemes are easily defeated through proxying because there wouldn't be any consequences for selling your tokens. "Install this app on you

Because those <18 year olds will immediately flip and identify you to the cops to try to lighten their punishment. The anonymous crypto token scheme does not have any trace-back mechanism like this at all. If there's no way to track

The study looked at 237 rhesus macaques. I can only read the abstract, which doesn't clarify how they determined their early life adversity. The abstract doesn't make very strong claims about how much an impact they saw, only that

The MacBook Neo went from $599 to $699. That's still significantly more powerful than anything you could buy at that price point last year. I’m not happy with the price increases either, but saying this is the end of personal computing

It’s the old supply and demand in a global market. It’s weird to read all of the calls for regulation to fix this when the DRAM and chip production is happening in other countries.

It’s a global phenomenon. The latency concerns for data centers are minimal, so they could be built anywhere. If your country restricted a company from buying too much of a product they need, 10 other competitor companies in other countries

I was considering a 128GB MacBook Pro earlier this week. I priced it out today. The same spec (I think) is $2,000 more expensive. I wasn’t expecting a jump that big. I can’t justify carrying around an $8,000 laptop.
