this and the daylight omg primer here we come

a syllabi built by collective intelligence, and totally intuitive (visualized, interactive, personalized, etc)
In July we open-sourced a dynamic graph of everything a child learns in primary school. 1,590 concepts, 3,221 dependencies.
Now we’re turning every concept into interactive experiments kids can play and learn from.
First one, age 7: heat and water.
Everything that used to be ow be an engaging experience, potentially tailored to every child.
Kids education just got a massive upgrade.

Excited to announce Volantis's $88M Series A.
We are solving Al's memory bottleneck by using optics, enabling chips with huge amounts of fast & cheap memory.
By boosting both the memory bandwidth and capacity per chip by orders of magnitude, we enable ultra-fast inference (up to 1ge models (>10T) - with low $/tok to boot.
Initially, this will enable insanely fast agents - think coding agents that finish in minutes or even seconds instead of hours.
More excitingly, optics is a fundamentally scalable way to increase memory systems. Not 2X/year, but by orders of magnitude across new generations. This will enable a structurally new Al industry, including restarting scaling laws, holding entire repos in context windows & more.
Our team has pioneered many core semiconductor technologies: the 1st CoWoS product, early HBM, the 1st silicon photonics CPO systems, the 1st high volume tunable VCSELs, the 1st processors to directly communicate using light & more.
We’ve already sent data >10× farther than equally tiny electrical wires inside a chip package. Our next iteration is already taped out and targets world-record bandwidth density over relevant distances, read more: volantissemi.ai/news-insights/…

imagine when addicting algorithms are even more supercharged than today. stuff way beyond opus 5.5
look what today is already
lets save each other from these no face villains sucking our lives through the straws of glowing rectangles

there’s a great new shader you can try called reality
very realistic dappled shadows

more fast e-ink! here’s @farayofsun’s beautiful dappled sun piece, and evan wallace’s webgl caustic renderer. i feel like pieces emulating nature work particularly well on this display.

Just got off a call with @AnjanKatta about @daylightco's resurgence, so so excited that they are back and rolling again!
Going to be doing what I can to help them test new software internally, give feedback, etc. as they rebuild.
Love the mission, Daylight is freedom tech ✊

This stuff seems insane till you see it in real life
My uncle is an orthopedic surgeon & he said he now gives 2 year olds a cellphone instead of pain medication when he’s repairing a fracture
And they don’t even notice the difference. Said a screen works just as well as pain meds
That’s insane

Nervous System Manipulation By Electromagnetic Fields From Monitors
x.com/NotOpCue/statu…
@Google Patents:@Google//t.co/V7Ypatents.google.com/patent/US65061…ological effects have been observed in a human subject in response to stimulation of the skin with weak electromagnetic with certain frequencies near ½ Hz or 2.4 Hz, such as to excite a sensory resonance. Many computer monitors and TV tubes, when displaying pulsed images, emit pulsed electromagnetic fields of sufficient amplitudes to cause such excitation. It is therefore possible to manipulate the nervous system of a subject by pulsing images displayed on a nearby computer monitor or TV set. For the latter, the image pulsing may be imbedded in the program material, or it may be overlaid by modulating a video stream, either as an RF signal or as a video signal. The image displayed on a computer monitor may be pulsed effectively by a simple computer program. For certain monitors, pulsed electromagnetic fields capable of exciting sensory resonances in nearby subjects may be generated even as the displayed images are pulsed with subliminal intensity.

A lot of my posts revolve around the @daylightco, so here’s why this screen is such a big deal.
It’s…
📝 paperlike, reflective, non-emissive
🔵 blue light free
💡 flicker-free (so WAY calmer for your brain)
⏩ super-smooth-scrolling (60-120 fps)
🌞 sunlight readable
🌚 nks to the
🎃 amazing amber backlight (soo vibey and easy on the eyes)
✍️ actually great texture for handwriting
Once I experienced what a paperlike computer feels like, it’s impossible to just go back and pretend it’s fine that we’re looking at flickering blue-light rectangles for most of our waking lives.
Of course you can argue about the details: worse contrast than eink and the resolution is meh, etc.
But at the end of the day, this is V1 of the screen that I want for everything: 27-32 inch for my desktop, a phone, a 13-15 inch to mount onto my Mac, etc.
It’s the starting point for truly human-friendly computing. It’s what I want for my loved ones, my children, and all of you.

I’m so sick and tired of losing the game of my own attention to algorithms and cheap dopamine
So now I’m rebuilding my digital environment from the ground up
and I won’t stop until human-friendly computing is accessible to every single one of you
The future of computing is amber

I feel obligated to let my fellow nerds know that paper-like screens are the foundation for healthier computing.
Reflective displays means no flicker, natural light, and blue-light-free amber backlight at night.
we’ll look back on the 2010-2020s as this utterly insane period ickering screens most of our waking hours … wondering why we were so distracted and dysregulated

I am once again reminding you that getting artificial dopamine hits inside non-stop all day is frying your chimp brain more than you dare to imagine.
They can literally cook your entire life.
Heck, in general, if you are depressed, unmotivated, lazy, and even don’t enjoy life t all artificial dopamine hits and go outside.
You might laugh at this initially but give it 3 weeks and you will never look at social media the same.
It’s basic science.
D2 receptors, for example, are susceptible to downregulation from overstimulation, artificial blue light is shown to lead to a 30% reduction of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurons in the substantia nigra in many animal models etc.
So you can not live an overstimulating life indoors and wonder why you don’t derive pleasure from anything natural or why you're not driven to create something.

You’ll be surprised how much looser you’ll be using an amber / epaper computer
And realize how tightly wound up we all are while using normal computers
Be water my friend, the future belongs to those who are loose enough to allow their full creativity

Hardware has always been hard because it isn’t open source in the way software is. You have to network, ask around, travel & dig deep to find out how to do something.
AI has made hardware “so much more open source” - you can find suppliers, materials, methods, etc so easily
