The lesson I'm taking from this is be ok with slow progress and early failures. The trap I fall into is being discouraged too easily and giving up. What this guy has done is the opposite. He just kept going and got good.
OK, I think this is a little misleading at a glance. From my read they didn't show a video to the subject then create images from the brainwaves. Instead they showed videos to subjects, recorded the response. This allowed them to greate a mapping of response to video. You then show videos later, read the response then look up the video.
The article states; "The reconstructed videos are blurry because they layer all the YouTube clips that matched the subject's brain activity pattern."
They could have just shown the best match, this would not have been a cool blurry image that is very easy to misinterpret as being generated from the brainwaves directly. More than a little slippery.
"The reconstruction was obtained using only each subject's brain activity and a library of 18 million seconds of random YouTube video that did not include the movies used as stimuli."
Not totally scifi awesome, but still pretty cool and I think it is a valid approach. Sounds like the bigger the library of clips mapped to brain activity, the more the technique converges to a desirable result.
An average image leaves you with the abstract features common to all the matches, which tells you far more about what the brain-traffic is up to than showing a single match. And being able to look at that is astonishing in its own right.
It's easy for laypeople to misinterpret things they don't fully understand, but I think they can be disabused of misunderstanding by careful explanation. And we can get from here to there without invoking slipperiness.
Apologies in advance for making a fairly trivial observation but I really like this guys use of bold in the text. It's a little like a tabloid newspaper but I found that it genuinely added to the writing making it more readable and more amusing.
I'm interesting in submitting a project but I don't know how much to offer for it. In a "marketplace" you get to see what other people are offering and what's being accepted. I'd like to see this sort of information.
A company that has no growth potential is not very exciting to an investor. They 'make bets' on companies they think might take off. It's high risk high return as most small companies fail.
I think investor won't be interested in buying a business for small scale steady income. There are plenty of very safe ways to do that like bluechip shares or even term deposits.
I promise we do it in whole new different way of sharing. YOu can follow TV Shows, NBA, Movies. and share the events that are the most interesting to your friends. So you will get recommendation of what to do from friends. Like for instance I got a recommendation that 2 1/2 are airing next week
Ok, just to be clear. It isn't me you need to tell but everyone. No one will sign up to something, no matter how good it is if they don't know anything about it. So my suggestion is to explain your service. This might be with text but you could also use videos or screenshots.
If you're really interested in introducing this into a working business, and have spent days researching the options a 7 minute summary (advert) like this is a gift.
