this mindset is so incredibly wrong it’s tough to know where to start. this idea is true of systems *other* than capitalism! allowing markets to do price discovery and engaging in voluntary transactions because it works for you is arguably *a central innovation of capitalism* over the prior systems!

Science founder and CEO @maxhodak.bsky.social spoke with @kantrowitz.bsky.social at #WebSummit about breakthroughs in brain-computer interfaces – including Science’s PRIMA implant, which was shown in clinical trials to restore vision in patients with age-related macular degeneration
Very excited that the clinical trial results for our PRIMA retinal prosthesis are published today in the New England Journal of Medicine! This is the first time that patients who are blind due to photoreceptor loss have been able to intuitively see again. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_qT...

Big new result out today from us at Science! New optogenetic actuators so sensitive that they respond robustly to regular indoor office lighting!
Alex Naka@gottapatchemall.bsky.social · 11mo agoMy group at Science has been running a big campaign to engineer new channelrhodopsins. Excited to share the first results from it today: a suite of highly sensitive new opsins. We call them "WAChRs". Everyday indoor office lighting is enough to activate them pretty strongly.
As we get closer to market approval for our breakthrough retinal prosthesis, it's time for a Science patient registry. If you or a family member have late stage macular degeneration (AMD), retinitis pigmentosa, or Stargardt disease, please consider getting in touch! science.xyz/news/science...

a take on the Truman show, but told following a bunch of people on the outside world watching it as it airs, and the huge cultural conversations that ensue, eventually leading to a Supreme Court case which ultimately allows it to continue

Why is it so hard to reverse engineer the brain's 86 billion neurons? What is the future of communication between brains? Join me with special guest Max Hodak, founder of Science Corp, a company pioneering new methods in brain computer interfaces. eagleman.com/podcast/90 #brain #BCI
well that was one way to figure out that none of the meshtastic radios are configured properly
me and others often talk about a "bright future" on the horizon that is attainable, but that can feel pretty vague. in practical terms, the vision of the Culture I think captures it best we may be much closer than most people think youtu.be/peSPZnFR_bI

I wish there was a way to have an LLM propose Zotero collection organization for me to accept or reject, or add a Cursor-like chat drawer running PaperQA2 on the local library directly in the UI. Lots of opportunities here!
suddenly zotero's browser plugin is failing to fetch open access pdfs... did something change to break it?
The last step in the PRIMA retinal prothesis clinical trial was for the Data Safety Monitoring Board to vote on whether the data showed it was safe as well as effective, and I'm excited to report that on 11/13 -- they did! science.xyz/news/prima-d...

I had an idea way back in college which I've long thought could be, in many ways, the ultimate BCI technology. What if instead of using electrodes, we used biological neurons embedded in electronics to communicate with the brain? Enter biohybrid neural interfaces: science.xyz/news/biohybr...

the fact that the scientific primary sources are considered valuable corporate assets rather than an intellectual heritage belonging to all of humanity feels insane and actually pretty evil
is there a way to find out if you are in any starter packs? curious where these new follows are coming from
