Again, political violence has no place in this country.

I probably don’t agree with Charlie Kirk on a damn thing, but that doesn’t matter - he’s a husband and a father.

This is despicable and can’t become our new normal.

🚀 DinoV3 just became the new go-to backbone for geoloc!
It outperforms CLIP-like models (SigLip2, finetuned StreetCLIP)… and that’s shocking 🤯
Why? CLIP models have an innate advantage — they literally learn place names + images. DinoV3 doesn’t.

New preprint!

Why are long-range connectomic interactions in the cortex dominant in shaping dynamics in some experiments but apparently negligible in others?

We (w/ R Maran, @elimuller.bsky.social) address this question by studying a new hybrid model of cortical dynamics.

Why is this so important? In addition to the incredible accuracy, this BCI achieves what most have not by literally restoring the participant's voice. In the long term, the ability of these technologies to contribute to the sense of identity and agency is more important than pure accuracy.
