@jonny Unfortunate 🥲 Been chatting with some folks in the VRChat Biosensing discord but it's more focused on VRC integration than general BCI.
Yeah you can get access via unofficial python and JS libraries. TP9, TP10, AF7, AF8. Unsure what those regions usually correspond too yet. If you have reading recs for getting into this stuff it'd also be much appreciated.
@makeworld Yeah will do! So far I got the "Mind Monitor" app and got a neat spectrogram of my brain waves. I can see it change when I blink or when I "scream" inside my head :P
Got myself a Muse 2 #eeg for xmas. Gonna figure out how to make a neural net to interpret gestures with my brain. Gonna use this as another input device for controlling my computer.
@jonny Know of any IRC/Matrix/Discords where folks are chatring about EEG based BCI or some such? I recently got a Muse 2 and wanna chat with folks about approaches but don't know where to go. :o
@makeworld the origibal noms doc about it is great: https://github.com/attic-labs/noms/blob/master/doc/intro.md
@makeworld tldr is MSTs guarantee at most one chunk boundry update on insert, prolly trees have a (rare) chance to cause "cascade" of chunk boundry updates. Prolly trees are easier to construct when you have sequential keys and do less lookups for sequential reads. MSTs also have more even distribution of items accross layers.
@makeworld I'm abour to publish a thing that goes over the tradeoffs between it and prolly trees actually!

Mastodon isn't perfect.
But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use
has no venture capital investors
has no shareholders to answer to
has no growth targets
with a web interface with zero tracking cookies
and mobile apps with zero trackers at all
with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety
is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in. Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.
@juliobiason Fair enough! Aesthetic preferences are important.
@juliobiason What's the benefit in having the extra code?

I woke up to see the @spritely campaign bar moved quite a bit overnight!
We're off to a really good start! But we've got a long way to go. If you're thinking of donating, we could really, really use your help!
Insomnia balls. 😀👉👉
My hot take is that Yi Long Ma on tiktok is hilarious. But only if I see him like once every three months organically. More than that and the magic gets lost a little for me.
@fleeky Coca cola released ai generated video ads. Adobe used ai art to advertise a tablet. This marker pen company tried to pass off ai generated images in their ads as though it was drawn with their pens. I see a lot of matrix spam with sketchy ai generated imagery.
I wonder if there's any people that like ai generated ads out there. I mostly hang around artists that hate them but I kinda assumed that it was the general sentiment. Seems it's mostly used by spammers and scammers and cheapskates and makes products seem unprofessional.
