I dislike this post intensely. The opinion comes across as uncharitable, as the author probably has not used this Macbook Pro yet. How can you (alexeysemeney) be so sure? I consider myself a developer, and I almost never use the Fn and ESC

This operates on the assumption that eye tracking and brain waves signals are positively or negatively correlated (for which the setup you propose can be thought of as an estimator with control variates). Is this indeed the case?

Wow, this is the third time I've seen this link climbing up HN front page in the past hour [1][2]. I'm interested in this topic, why does it keep getting flagged? [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12727973

Not exactly late. There's no physical law that says a CPU can't beat a GPU for a certain family of operations, and in fact in practice, small toy networks with non-dense operations (for instance, if you are doing research on optim

The explanation in the README of the github project is excellent and well-written! Here's a really great set of animations by Vincent Dumoulin on how various conv operators work: https://github.com/vdumoulin/conv_a

This is really cool! Can anyone comment on what the state of art is on restoring motor function in paralyzed animals (i.e. rats, mice) ?

Thanks for your explanation. Then why does America subsidize its sugar/agriculture industries so heavily?

CRISPR is cool, but isn't the challenge of adult genome editing bottlenecked by the delivery vehicle? Last time I checked it's still hard to deliver viral vectors past the blood-brain barrier. Does CRISPR have a unique solution to

I don't think optogenetics is feasible for human BCI. Optogenetics requires one to express channelrhodopsin proteins in the neurons of interest - which means you need to genetically modify the human at birth. We know how to do this in

There are some very difficult challenges in brain-computer interfaces (BCI), some of which involve huge barriers presented by human biology. It's rather depressing. Presently, there is no good way to read data from the brain to a devic

The resources one has at his or her disposal dictate their solution space, and not necessarily the quality of the solution. Google is uniquely good at doing stuff at scale. Some day a grad student who doesn't have the money to buy a GP

"Diversity" is quite an overloaded term nowadays and I'm hearing it more and more often in everyday vocabulary. I wish I had some quantitative data on this, but it seems to be used in every day contexts now, from engineering

There are quite a few interpretations of what human-realistic means, but here are my very optimistic, noisy estimates. I'm interested what numbers others come up with. * Proyas' "I, Robot": 15 years (no evil uprising)
