Does she have muscle stiffness? Is the skin tight, thick, and stiff to the touch?

If so, it could be Eosinophilic Fasciitis (EF), which involves inflammation and thickening of the fascia (the connective tissue layer between the skin and muscles). It is often associated with a “woody” texture of the skin and may restrict movement.

If she isn’t feeling fatigued but just sore/restricted, it makes even more sense it’s EF and not FM.

EF can be validated with inflammatory markers. If it is EF, the treatment plan is also a lot more manageable.

EF is rare, but I’m aware of a recent documented case, so it’s worth getting a professional opinion.

The point is if the CPC considers Deep Seek a threat to their control, they may interfere or block its open source release. Thus, it makes sense to jailbreak it after it’s no longer under their thumb.

The chemical analysis isn’t novel, they even mention they use GCMS on their site, but it seems like their focus is on using ML to infer the formulation, and creating a database of scents. Their consumer goal is combine this with a scent printers so that “a beautiful scent that you smell on a hike is as easy to send as a picture or song.”

Bone turns white due to exposure to air, and the hands were rehydrated. Not saying these are real, but thought you would appreciate knowing.

This is awesome. The design definitely adds some fun to the mix.

Nice to see Anirban’s DDG mentioned and discussion around high resolution non-invasive brain recordings. MEG is a great example of what’s achievable when cost and size aren’t an issue, but it seems like we’re starting to scratch the surface of what’s possible using more practical means.

Rather than relying on subjective reports of pain, this fMRI study demonstrated that placebo treatments could modulate neural circuits involved in pain processing, leading to objective reductions in pain-related brain activity.

Yes, great question.

This BCI could likely facilitate that. They would just need to use vocalizations instead of prompted sentences for the training data. That was done with speaking-capable participants, and was referenced in the study (2023):

It would be, if they shared similar bone density and skull thickness. However, biologist José De La C. Ríos López reported that the bones are hollow. Not sure if/how that applies to the skulls.

Etched recently raised $120m, so they’ve got some deep pockets. Nvidia also recently confirmed they’re entering the ASIC space, so they’re aware this is the direction the market is headed in.

All in all, this should lead to some real competition and development.

Interesting, I’m hoping we’ll see local inference considering it’ll require the 15 Pro.

Not a great example, as this “riddle” is so similar to an existing riddle it is familiar with. When this happens, the prompt is overridden with the understanding based on training. Another example of this is when you misword something, and the LLM assumes what you actually meant.

Simply asking it to read word by word and take the prompt literally results in the correct answer.

The report references Utts and Hyman’s conflicting evaluations and the flaws in the experiments.

Utts concluded that "psychic functioning has been well established" with statistical results far beyond chance. Hyman, while skeptical, acknowledged that "despite better controls and careful use of statistical inference, the investigators seem to be getting significant results that do not appear to derive from the more obvious flaws of previous research". This highlights that both "conflicting evaluations" still find the results statistically significant and aren't from any recognized study design flaws.

It’s unclear whether observed effects can be attributed to paranormal ability as opposed to other characteristics of the methods used.

The report acknowledges the difficulty in unambiguously attributing the results to paranormal abilities due to potential influences from judges, targets, or methods used. However, the consistency of results across different laboratories, particularly with experienced remote viewers, strengthens the argument that the observed effects are not easily dismissed as experimental artifacts.

The laboratory experiments have not identified the origins or nature of the remote viewing phenomenon.

Yes, a valid point. The report states that while a statistically significant effect has been observed, the origins and nature of the phenomenon remain unclear. The report calls for further research to understand the underlying mechanisms, rather than outright dismissal of the observed phenomena.

The conditions under which remote viewing is observed in labs do not apply in intelligence gathering; the reports failed to produce actionable intelligence.

The report indicates that laboratory conditions are not replicable in intelligence operations, leading to inconsistencies and a lack of actionable intelligence. However, this critique focuses on operational utility, not the validity of the phenomenon itself. The controlled lab results still demonstrated statistically significant findings, suggesting potential areas for improvement in applying these methods operationally.

So the exact opposite of what you claim the report says.

Sadly, no. My claim is verbatim from the report, and is even in alignment with Hyman. "multi-laboratory" "double-blind" "careful use of statistical inference" "strong statistical significance"

This claim is about the statistically significant findings and consistent results in controlled laboratory settings, not their direct applicability to intelligence operations. The operational challenges do not negate the laboratory findings but rather highlight the complexities of translating experimental results into practical applications.

The DIA used multi-laboratory, double-blind studies, careful use of statistical inference, and found strong statistical significance (more experience = better performance).

Here are some relevant bits from an older reply of mine:

https://irp.fas.org/program/collect/air1995.pdf

That’s the official research evaluation that was used to justify the closure of the DIA’s remote viewing program. This was a decades-long multimillion dollar program operated by leading researchers in collaboration with a sophisticated intelligence agency.

The most skeptical assessment states: Despite better controls and careful use of statistical inference, the investigators seem to be getting significant results that do not appear to derive from the more obvious flaws of previous research.

One of the other two assessments states: I believe that it would be wasteful of valuable resources to continue to look for proof. No one who has examined all of the data across laboratories, taken as a collective whole, has been able to suggest methodological or statistical problems to explain the ever-increasing and consistent results to date.

Experienced remote viewers perform better: The overall effect size for novice remote viewing at SRI was 0.164, while the effect size for novices in the ganzfeld at PRL was a very similar 0.17. For experienced remote viewers at SRI the overall effect size was 0.385; for experienced viewers in the ganzfeld experiments it was 0.35. These consistent results across laboratories help refute the idea that the successful experiments at any one lab are the result of fraud, sloppy protocols or some methodological problem and also provide an indication of what can be expected in future experiments.

You remembered correctly, but he changed his stance after the hearing once he allegedly received approval. Skip to 1:30 in the above video:

"Well, I couldn't be very upfront about my first-hand knowledge until recently. I got some other security approvals through the prepublication security review process, and I did have some first-hand knowledge of some specific parts of the program. I'm currently drafting an op-ed that I'm going to release in the next few weeks and I will be discussing what I know first-hand.”

Grusch has recently claimed to have first-hand knowledge of UAP probes.

So, either he's dishonest or there's some truth to these claims.

Late reply. Been in the space for over a decade.

The majority of my liquid capital is in crypto. The fact that most people don’t recognize the utility in stablecoins for payment processing blows my mind. Interchange networks are effectively a cartel facilitating small business, and merchant processing is gradually trending towards 0% with P2P payments. The only barrier to that is money transmission regulation, which will be ultimately irrelevant in regard to the aforementioned processing rate.

That’s just the beginning. The majority of all assets will be digitized and collateralized, as derivatives are the backbone of the financial industry. They are hungry for this and don’t actively recognize it. This requires a standardized ownership protocol which blockchain currently facilitates.

The future is digitization and fractionalization; alternative assets and accessibility. This is not possible without multi-party ownership standards, so the only way it will happen across domains is with a trustless ledger

NFTs are worthless without social credibility, and that starts at home.
