Maybe some will come out of loyalty. But then again, when you look at the choice of becoming a MS employee vs. being poached by FAIR, Google Brain or Deepmind, it's no guarantee all 500 will come over to follow the sales guys.

granted, now MSFT basically has another research arm like Google Brain/FAIR, but whether or not their "brain trust" can equal Yann Lecun's or whatnot who knows. Altman and Brockman are on the MBA side of things. The ML

this might be true, but ICE, being a knee jerk department created after 9/11, never really was set up with the proper oversight for a public agency. It's known for being opaque, poorly run, and not accountable to anyone. It, and

historically, the Nobels seem to prefer basic research and stuff; an applied science/engineering company like Apple probably isn't on their radar. They would have to fund a basic science blue sky division like Bell Labs or one of

ah, fixing the brain problem at the legs instead of the brain.... The Japanese had earlier examples but I think it was just a typical spinal stim unit they appropriated from the chronic pain folks. This one seemed to map the myotomes a lit

I would say this is true.... But then, Texas politics is Texas politics, so I wouldn't be surprised if there indeed turned out to be significant abuse of protections laws for political gain...

a bit OT, but has anyone had the opportunity to compare how Vimy feels vs. UTM?

Yes, or at least tax them more appropriately to the cost to road safety, energy consumption and to society in general.

I wonder if these researchers self-select for being terrible because they couldn't compete in the "marketplace" for publicly funded or corporate grants/employment?

I feel like this is a real world analogy to false local minima magnified by a misguided implementation of gradient descent.

From the brain side, those of us who remember the pallidotomy and thalamotomy days, the "noninvasive" part is a marketing misnomer. It's invasive (it's a lesioning/ablation therapy); it just doesn't require a
