This is one of the deep tech bets that Ciro Santilli would put his money in as of 2020.

How hard could it be? You just have to learn the encoding of the neural spine/eyes/ear, add an invasive device that multiplexes it, and then the benefits could be mind blowing.

Musk approves.

Interestingly and obviously, the initial advances in the area are happening for people that have hearing or vision difficulties. Since they already have a deficient sense, you don't lose that much by a failed attempt.

Hearing is likely to be the first since it feels the simplest. Ciro heard there are even already clinical applications there. TODO source.

It's not super easy to use at first.

And it sometimes says that the basic drawing thing you want to do is off the project's scope.

But as you learn more about it and further generalize the concepts, there are often reasonable reasons for those design choices.

And the UI looks good :-)

Some answers by Ciro Santilli:

Group of students that represent students academic views about the courses.

You can now write:in lieu of the old:

Server run on the current machine. That's how all websites are developed and born!

It is hard to decide what makes Ciro Santilli more sad: the usage of Greek letters, the invention of new symbols, or the fifty million alternative font styles used.

Only Chinese characters could be worse than that!

Ciro Santilli has always had a good impression of these people.

The Twelve Apostles were actually officially appointed by Jesus amongst his followers. It was not simply that they were the first followers. It was official rank.

This is a really good project. So fun to play around with. Low level IO part only like drawing to screen and handling keyboard inputs.

Ciro Santilli has:

Talks about rebellion of the oppressed (and bandits), and therefore has been controversial throughout the many Chinese dictatorships.

The book is based on real events surrounding 12th century rebel leader Song Jiang during the Song dynasty.

It is also interesting that Mao Zedong was apparently a fan of the novel, although he had to hide that to some extent due to the controversial nature of the material, which could be said to instigate rebellion.

The incredible popularity of the novel can also be seen by the large number of paintings of it found in the Summer Palace.

This is a good novel. It appeals to Ciro Santilli's sensibilities of rebelling against unfairness, and in particular about people who are at the margin of society (at the river margin) doing so. Tax the rich BTW.

It also has always made Ciro quite curious how such novels are not used as a way to inspire people to rebel against the Chinese Communist Party.
