Philosophers have had these rifts(an similar lines of arguments) forever. From Plato vs Aristotle (300 to 400 BC) (idea of forms vs nicomachean), In India Adi Shankara (around 700 CE) vs Madhavacharya (1200 CE) (dualism vs non-dualism) - t

We've moved past asking where the energy comes from or how our planet will survive this critical phase. These days, it's about framing - every country is scrambling to up their game just to stay in power. The companies that are ri

Because those with vested interests, such as large corporations and VCs - they naturally avoid acknowledging what the technology cannot yet do, what the technology is bad at. Their role is to promote optimism around the products they back,

Impressive work - I have experimented with Tobii trackers - they are pretty accurate to work with. But accomplishing this with a single camera is definitely something. Would love to follow your work further. Keep going :)

GTM is go-to-market. It deals with how to distribute a product so that it can sold out there in the market.

Typical agent calls are like saying /run-report — one-shot, no memory. Genie joins convos, reads threads, and understands ongoing context. Most agent tools are built for solo use. Genie is built for teams — multiple users can interact

I believe real value lies in solving customer problems - not just investor problems. This technology has significant upside when applied thoughtfully. That said, without proper validation, prematurely sidelining proven solutions to chase AI

I’m creating a series of video tutorials to get people started on neurotechnology and brain-computer interface design. You can check out the playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVBm6iuVBaQ&list=PLJYQoZIKDl...

This is interesting. Maybe this could help bring back some long form tv, which in my opinion is better than watching TikTok which consumes our dwindling attention span

To be honest though, I am not sure if this a pain-point enough for me to pay for a service to convert it to text. In my mind, these are edge-cases.

I've encountered this problem with PDFs in general, where the pages are images instead of text. I've learnt to search for the same book/document in epub/mobi format. If I don't find it after searching the web, I wil

This is such a fascinating aspect of the brain. It feels as if there is some kind of "latent/subconscious" thinking involved and the 'conscious' thought only rises to the surface when the trigger arises. I've h

Even drummers using their four limbs tend to make weird faces or open their jaws wide while playing. It should have something to do with dexterity, coordination and limb independence I believe. I can still play simple beats without making f

Amazing app. I am trying to learn dutch with this. It pushes you to converse in the language of choice. I also tried to get translation in english. Could be a good feature to understand new words and form better sentences.

Okay so found this from MIT website here: The problem is that the energy in lightning is contained in a very short period of time, only a few microseconds. Further, to obtain that 1 million joules, one would have to handle a voltage of seve

If we can predict lightning in an area, can this lead to an alternate source of energy? What are the contextual, technical difficulties for implementing such a system?

I understand that 2d brain to 3d brain connection requires an intersection (criss-cross) I drew that on a piece of paper. But I didn't really get why that has to be the case with 3D brain to 3D brain mapping. I am able to connect them

I believe this has to do with how the cities are designed in some sense. For most places in the US, you need to travel so many miles to get basic stuff including your groceries. This means people would have to prefer convenience more than s

I find European cities to be well designed. Especially in the Netherlands where I currently live (not Amsterdam). Every city has a city center where all the commercial activity happens surrounded by residential suburb. Everything in and aro

Indeed, you are correct! Is there an 'impartial' governing body that has examined these two alternatives and determined the advantages and disadvantages of each? Or is there any relevant literature that focuses on simulating/

To what degree is personal consumption driving the demand for energy? And to what degree are industrials, workplaces or collective activities we do as part of the society? In any case, what are the ways to reduce consumption of energy at an
