TODAY WE ARE LAUNCHING THE WORLD’S FIRST AI TUTOR that can: 1. talk to you 2. see your work 3. write stuff on your screen up next: - upload your course content - remember what you've covered in the past - allow the tutor to flirt with you what other features should we add?

We're LIVE on YC!! 🥳
AutoComputer’s (YC F24) desktop AI enables workers to automate any workflow on their computer into steps they can accept with a single keystroke, providing full user control – all with zero configuration. Congrats on the launch, @madhavsinghal_ and @RickJSugden!

Anyone in Auditing? ☕ Hey everyone! As part of building my current #startup, I am looking to learn more about the #auditing space. If there’s anyone in my network who would be willing to share their experience or introduce me to someone in auditing or other forms of #accounting

About a month ago, I paused my #PhD to go all-in on my startup and joined @ycombinator’s F24 batch! YC has backed giants like Airbnb, Reddit, & Dropbox. Now I’m in SF with my co-founder, Madhav Singhal, tackling this wild journey. Big thanks to everyone who’s supported us! 🙌 #YC

I’m doing this program with my friend and co-founder Madhav Singhal. It's a wild ride and we’re excited to see where this next chapter takes us. The startup grind is real, but there’s nothing more exciting than building something new with an awesome team and community. 3/4

For anyone unfamiliar, they funded AirBNB, Reddit, Dropbox, Instacart, DoorDash etc. Beyond funding, YC is a 12-week program in #SanFrancisco (where I am now) with keynote speakers, resources to help you succeed, and networking to build a community of founders. 2/4

It's a bit sad and confusing that LLMs ("Large Language Models") have little to do with language; It's just historical. They are highly general purpose technology for statistical modeling of token streams. A better name would be Autoregressive Transformers or something. They

Loved meeting so many patients, caregivers, clinicians and scientists at the @theABTA 2024 meeting! Responses to our poster really validated the interest and need for our work on at-home monitoring of #braintumors with #EEG wearables.

Love to see it! @OgundipeOre implemented the data protocol from our "HEROIC" paper ( https://t.co/uAoWcDZW0m) Hoping to use this to continue to scale our study of #braintumors

I just released support for analyzing brain responses, like the P300 wave, after you complete a visual oddball task on NeuroFusion Explorer using mobile EEGs. This means you can now see how the brain detects and processes unexpected events or changes in the environment!

Canadian grad school #Scholarships season is almost underway. Having secured $200K in scholarships over the last few years, I put everything I know on how to secure #funding as a #PhD or #MSc student in my latest #blog. Check it out! https://t.co/Y51yxomAgD

We are already working on applying this technology to monitor patients with #braintumours. We envision that one day we will be able to monitor patients' brain health remotely, and maybe even provide low-cost screening. #Telemedicine #digitalhealth #RemotePatientMonitoring

Just published my first software #Paper in @BMCBioinfo introducing "HEROIC", an #opensource platform to empower patients to collect #EEG brainwave data at-home using $300 wearables. #PhD #academia #biotech #Neuroscience #BrainHealth Check it out here: https://t.co/uAoWcDZW0m

This week we synced neuromodulation while I was dreaming. In the dream, I was in my apartment wearing a prototype looking at a giant waveform generator the size of my kitchen reading the voltage values and I could actually hear the tFUS (bone conduction from 100hz pulse
Interesting hypothesis on Lucid Dreaming by Neuroscientist J. Allan Hobson. The dorsolateral PFC is brain region we’ve performed neuromodulation on the most during waking-state. Right now, we are working on REM sleep detection (EOG) so we can stimulate the dlPFC during REM.

Editing my friend's blog. I gave him the advice from @sapinker's "Sense of Style": imagine each word cost $100 dollars to print. How efficient could your writing become then? #writing #blog #essays #writingadvice

I'll be attending the amazing American Brain Tumor Association 2024 National Conference. Let me know if you're planning to attend so that we can say Hi! 👋 https://t.co/75E28N2RW2
