Christian Science by Mark Twain, is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book . CHAPTER VIII here CHAPTER VIII The power which a man's imagination has over his body to heal it or make it sick is a force which none of us is born without. The first man had it, the last one will possess it. If left to himself, a man is most likely to use only the mischievous half of the force—the half which invents imaginary ailments for him and cultivates them; and if he is one of these—very wise people, he is quite likely to scoff at the beneficent half of the force and deny its existence. And so, to heal or help that man, two imaginations are required: his own and some outsider's. The outsider, B, must imagine that his incantations are the healing-power that is curing A, and A must imagine that this is so. I think it is not so, at all; but no matter, the cure is effected, and that is the main thing. The outsider's work is unquestionably valuable; so valuable that it may fairly be likened to the essential work performed by the engineer when he handles the throttle and turns on the steam; the actual power is lodged exclusively in the engine, but if the engine were left alone it would never start of itself. Whether the engineer be named Jim, or Bob, or Tom, it is all one—his services are necessary, and he is entitled to such wage as he can get you to pay. Whether he be named Christian Scientist, or Mental Scientist, or Mind Curist, or King's-Evil Expert, or Hypnotist, it is all one; he is merely the Engineer; he simply turns on the same old steam and the engine does the whole work. The Christian-Scientist engineer drives exactly the same trade as the other engineers, yet he out-prospers the whole of them put together. Is it because he has captured the takingest name? I think that that is only a small part of it. I think that the secret of his high prosperity lies elsewhere. The Christian Scientist has organized the business. Now that was certainly a gigantic idea. Electricity, in limitless volume, has existed in the air and the rocks and the earth and everywhere since time began—and was going to waste all the while. In our time we have organized that scattered and wandering force and set it to work, and backed the business with capital, and concentrated it in few and competent hands, and the results are as we see. The Christian Scientist has taken a force which has been lying idle in every member of the human race since time began, and has organized it, and backed the business with capital, and concentrated it at Boston headquarters in the hands of a small and very competent Trust, and there are results. Therein lies the promise that this monopoly is going to extend its commerce wide in the earth. I think that if the business were conducted in the loose and disconnected fashion customary with such things, it would achieve but little more than the modest prosperity usually secured by unorganized great moral and commercial ventures; but I believe that so long as this one remains compactly organized and closely concentrated in a Trust, the spread of its dominion will continue.

The power which a man's imagination has over his body

Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery, is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book here . A Good Imagination Gone Wrong CHAPTER XX. A Good Imagination Gone Wrong SPRING had come once more to Green Gables—the beautiful capricious, reluctant Canadian spring, lingering along through April and May in a succession of sweet, fresh, chilly days, with pink sunsets and miracles of resurrection and growth. The maples in Lover’s Lane were red budded and little curly ferns pushed up around the Dryad’s Bubble. Away up in the barrens, behind Mr. Silas Sloane’s place, the Mayflowers blossomed out, pink and white stars of sweetness under their brown leaves. All the school girls and boys had one golden afternoon gathering them, coming home in the clear, echoing twilight with arms and baskets full of flowery spoil. “I’m so sorry for people who live in lands where there are no Mayflowers,” said Anne. “Diana says perhaps they have something better, but there couldn’t be anything better than Mayflowers, could there, Marilla? And Diana says if they don’t know what they are like they don’t miss them. But I think that is the saddest thing of all. I think it would be tragic, Marilla, not to know what Mayflowers are like and not to miss them. Do you know what I think Mayflowers are, Marilla? I think they must be the souls of the flowers that died last summer and this is their heaven. But we had a splendid time today, Marilla. We had our lunch down in a big mossy hollow by an old well—such a romantic spot. Charlie Sloane dared Arty Gillis to jump over it, and Arty did because he wouldn’t take a dare. Nobody would in school. It is very fashionable to dare. Mr. Phillips gave all the Mayflowers he found to Prissy Andrews and I heard him to say ‘sweets to the sweet.’ He got that out of a book, I know; but it shows he has some imagination. I was offered some Mayflowers too, but I rejected them with scorn. I can’t tell you the person’s name because I have vowed never to let it cross my lips. We made wreaths of the Mayflowers and put them on our hats; and when the time came to go home we marched in procession down the road, two by two, with our bouquets and wreaths, singing ‘My Home on the Hill.’ Oh, it was so thrilling, Marilla. All Mr. Silas Sloane’s folks rushed out to see us and everybody we met on the road stopped and stared after us. We made a real sensation.” “Not much wonder! Such silly doings!” was Marilla’s response. After the Mayflowers came the violets, and Violet Vale was empurpled with them. Anne walked through it on her way to school with reverent steps and worshiping eyes, as if she trod on holy ground. “Somehow,” she told Diana, “when I’m going through here I don’t really care whether Gil—whether anybody gets ahead of me in class or not. But when I’m up in school it’s all different and I care as much as ever. There’s such a lot of different Annes in me. I sometimes think that is why I’m such a troublesome person. If I was just the one Anne it would be ever so much more comfortable, but then it wouldn’t be half so interesting.” One June evening, when the orchards were pink blossomed again, when the frogs were singing silverly sweet in the marshes about the head of the Lake of Shining Waters, and the air was full of the savor of clover fields and balsamic fir woods, Anne was sitting by her gable window. She had been studying her lessons, but it had grown too dark to see the book, so she had fallen into wide-eyed reverie, looking out past the boughs of the Snow Queen, once more bestarred with its tufts of blossom. In all essential respects the little gable chamber was unchanged. The walls were as white, the pincushion as hard, the chairs as stiffly and yellowly upright as ever. Yet the whole character of the room was altered. It was full of a new vital, pulsing personality that seemed to pervade it and to be quite independent of schoolgirl books and dresses and ribbons, and even of the cracked blue jug full of apple blossoms on the table. It was as if all the dreams, sleeping and waking, of its vivid occupant had taken a visible although unmaterial form and had tapestried the bare room with splendid filmy tissues of rainbow and moonshine. Presently Marilla came briskly in with some of Anne’s freshly ironed school aprons. She hung them over a chair and sat down with a short sigh. She had had one of her headaches that afternoon, and although the pain had gone she felt weak and “tuckered out,” as she expressed it. Anne looked at her with eyes limpid with sympathy. “I do truly wish I could have had the headache in your place, Marilla. I would have endured it joyfully for your sake.” “I guess you did your part in attending to the work and letting me rest,” said Marilla. “You seem to have got on fairly well and made fewer mistakes than usual. Of course it wasn’t exactly necessary to starch Matthew’s handkerchiefs! And most people when they put a pie in the oven to warm up for dinner take it out and eat it when it gets hot instead of leaving it to be burned to a crisp. But that doesn’t seem to be your way evidently.” Headaches always left Marilla somewhat sarcastic. “Oh, I’m so sorry,” said Anne penitently. “I never thought about that pie from the moment I put it in the oven till now, although I felt instinctively that there was something missing on the dinner table. I was firmly resolved, when you left me in charge this morning, not to imagine anything, but keep my thoughts on facts. I did pretty well until I put the pie in, and then an irresistible temptation came to me to imagine I was an enchanted princess shut up in a lonely tower with a handsome knight riding to my rescue on a coal-black steed. So that is how I came to forget the pie. I didn’t know I starched the handkerchiefs. All the time I was ironing I was trying to think of a name for a new island Diana and I have discovered up the brook. It’s the most ravishing spot, Marilla. There are two maple trees on it and the brook flows right around it. At last it struck me that it would be splendid to call it Victoria Island because we found it on the Queen’s birthday. Both Diana and I are very loyal. But I’m sorry about that pie and the handkerchiefs. I wanted to be extra good today because it’s an anniversary. Do you remember what happened this day last year, Marilla?” “No, I can’t think of anything special.” “Oh, Marilla, it was the day I came to Green Gables. I shall never forget it. It was the turning point in my life. Of course it wouldn’t seem so important to you. I’ve been here for a year and I’ve been so happy. Of course, I’ve had my troubles, but one can live down troubles. Are you sorry you kept me, Marilla?” “No, I can’t say I’m sorry,” said Marilla, who sometimes wondered how she could have lived before Anne came to Green Gables, “no, not exactly sorry. If you’ve finished your lessons, Anne, I want you to run over and ask Mrs. Barry if she’ll lend me Diana’s apron pattern.” “Oh—it’s—it’s too dark,” cried Anne. “Too dark? Why, it’s only twilight. And goodness knows you’ve gone over often enough after dark.” “I’ll go over early in the morning,” said Anne eagerly. “I’ll get up at sunrise and go over, Marilla.” “What has got into your head now, Anne Shirley? I want that pattern to cut out your new apron this evening. Go at once and be smart too.” “I’ll have to go around by the road, then,” said Anne, taking up her hat reluctantly. “Go by the road and waste half an hour! I’d like to catch you!” “I can’t go through the Haunted Wood, Marilla,” cried Anne desperately. Marilla stared. “The Haunted Wood! Are you crazy? What under the canopy is the Haunted Wood?” “The spruce wood over the brook,” said Anne in a whisper. “Fiddlesticks! There is no such thing as a haunted wood anywhere. Who has been telling you such stuff?” “Nobody,” confessed Anne. “Diana and I just imagined the wood was haunted. All the places around here are so—so—commonplace. We just got this up for our own amusement. We began it in April. A haunted wood is so very romantic, Marilla. We chose the spruce grove because it’s so gloomy. Oh, we have imagined the most harrowing things. There’s a white lady walks along the brook just about this time of the night and wrings her hands and utters wailing cries. She appears when there is to be a death in the family. And the ghost of a little murdered child haunts the corner up by Idlewild; it creeps up behind you and lays its cold fingers on your hand—so. Oh, Marilla, it gives me a shudder to think of it. And there’s a headless man stalks up and down the path and skeletons glower at you between the boughs. Oh, Marilla, I wouldn’t go through the Haunted Wood after dark now for anything. I’d be sure that white things would reach out from behind the trees and grab me.” “Did ever anyone hear the like!” ejaculated Marilla, who had listened in dumb amazement. “Anne Shirley, do you mean to tell me you believe all that wicked nonsense of your own imagination?” “Not believe exactly,” faltered Anne. “At least, I don’t believe it in daylight. But after dark, Marilla, it’s different. That is when ghosts walk.” “There are no such things as ghosts, Anne.” “Oh, but there are, Marilla,” cried Anne eagerly. “I know people who have seen them. And they are respectable people. Charlie Sloane says that his grandmother saw his grandfather driving home the cows one night after he’d been buried for a year. You know Charlie Sloane’s grandmother wouldn’t tell a story for anything. She’s a very religious woman. And Mrs. Thomas’s father was pursued home one night by a lamb of fire with its head cut off hanging by a strip of skin. He said he knew it was the spirit of his brother and that it was a warning he would die within nine days. He didn’t, but he died two years after, so you see it was really true. And Ruby Gillis says—” “Anne Shirley,” interrupted Marilla firmly, “I never want to hear you talking in this fashion again. I’ve had my doubts about that imagination of yours right along, and if this is going to be the outcome of it, I won’t countenance any such doings. You’ll go right over to Barry’s, and you’ll go through that spruce grove, just for a lesson and a warning to you. And never let me hear a word out of your head about haunted woods again.” Anne might plead and cry as she liked—and did, for her terror was very real. Her imagination had run away with her and she held the spruce grove in mortal dread after nightfall. But Marilla was inexorable. She marched the shrinking ghost-seer down to the spring and ordered her to proceed straightaway over the bridge and into the dusky retreats of wailing ladies and headless specters beyond. “Oh, Marilla, how can you be so cruel?” sobbed Anne. “What would you feel like if a white thing did snatch me up and carry me off?” “I’ll risk it,” said Marilla unfeelingly. “You know I always mean what I say. I’ll cure you of imagining ghosts into places. March, now.” Anne marched. That is, she stumbled over the bridge and went shuddering up the horrible dim path beyond. Anne never forgot that walk. Bitterly did she repent the license she had given to her imagination. The goblins of her fancy lurked in every shadow about her, reaching out their cold, fleshless hands to grasp the terrified small girl who had called them into being. A white strip of birch bark blowing up from the hollow over the brown floor of the grove made her heart stand still. The long-drawn wail of two old boughs rubbing against each other brought out the perspiration in beads on her forehead. The swoop of bats in the darkness over her was as the wings of unearthly creatures. When she reached Mr. William Bell’s field she fled across it as if pursued by an army of white things, and arrived at the Barry kitchen door so out of breath that she could hardly gasp out her request for the apron pattern. Diana was away so that she had no excuse to linger. The dreadful return journey had to be faced. Anne went back over it with shut eyes, preferring to take the risk of dashing her brains out among the boughs to that of seeing a white thing. When she finally stumbled over the log bridge she drew one long shivering breath of relief. “Well, so nothing caught you?” said Marilla unsympathetically. “Oh, Mar—Marilla,” chattered Anne, “I’ll b-b-be contt-tented with c-c-commonplace places after this.” About HackerNoon Book Series: We bring you the most important technical, scientific, and insightful public domain books.

Swish Returns: RTV's Musical Theater Spectacle Makes a Comeback

The fight between OpenAI and Google to win the generative AI arms race has all the intensity of the war between Kendrick Lamar and Drake but without the low-blow trash talk. This week, both companies unleashed a dizzying array of updates that say a lot about their strategies: OpenAI: A More Human Gen AI On May 13, OpenAI announced several improvements to ChatGPT including multimodal capabilities. https://www.youtube.com/live/DQacCB9tDaw?si=RyXrifz6jnHbYWCW&embedable=true One feature that has captured the imagination of industry watchers is how ChatGPT is becoming more human. OpenAI demonstrated how the latest iteration of ChatGPT (GPT-4o) can detect emotions in users’ voices, analyze their facial expressions, and adjust its own tone and cadence to match user preferences. For instance, if you request a bedtime story, it can adopt a gentle, whispering tone. It can respond in a playful, sarcastic manner if you want it to. It even has the capability to sing when asked. https://youtu.be/D9byh4MAsUQ?si=DnmC0PteXYgj833j&embedable=true The demonstration immediately drew comparisons to Her, the 2013 movie in which a virtual assistant seduces an introvert… But making OpenAI more human is not in and of itself nothing new. There is a growing trend, especially among Gen Z, to turn to AI for personal companionship. Apps such as Pi offer life coaching in a helpful and conversational manner. Replika is a virtual friend and mental health lifeline. Blush is an AI-generated dating simulator. And there are many, many more examples. OpenAI knows that humanlike AI is the future, especially with Gen Z. Recently, Npj Mental Health Research studied how college students use Replika. The study observed, “Many used Replika in multiple, overlapping ways—as a friend, a therapist, and an intellectual mirror. Many also held overlapping and often conflicting beliefs about Replika—calling it a machine, an intelligence, and a human. Critically, 3% reported that Replika halted their suicidal ideation.” The significance of how ChatGPT is evolving is that OpenAI is making an incredibly popular everyday utility more human. There is no turning back now. Google: Doubling Down on AI-Powered Search At Google’s annual I/O conference on May 14, Google showed that it is leaning into its core strengths with gen AI-powered search. For instance, the AI Overview feature provides a brief, AI-generated answer to searches, along with a series of links to the sources cited in the response. Google is also introducing multistep reasoning (refining search results without requiring multiple searches in the same search session). Let’s say you are searching for a new yoga or pilates studio that is popular, conveniently located for your daily commute, and also offers a discount for new members. Soon, you will be able to ask Google Search to “find the best yoga or pilates studios in Boston and show details on their intro offers and walking time from Beacon Hill.” https://youtu.be/s4InWsd-J6g?si=X429BeoiivA6taTQ&embedable=true If you are an avid user of Google search for wayfinding, you can appreciate how important and valuable multistep reasoning will be when rolled out. The company is also introducing updates to its Gemini gen AI chatbot, including the ability to respond to longer prompts, engage in audio-based conversations, and provide more powerful functionality, including a tool summarizing 1,500 pages of the text uploaded by a user. These are important updates to a tool that I personally find more useful than ChatGPT in many ways. But for Google’s business, it is more critical that the company inject gen AI across its powerful search ecosystem, including Google Search, YouTube, and Email. Search is Google’s bread-and-butter business. And Google is fortifying its moat.

Generative AI Clash: OpenAI’s Emotional AI vs. Google’s Enhanced Search

We are living in an age of extreme advances in technology and innovation. Every few months there is a new development, and each one is exciting to learn about. Apple’s new M4 iPad Pro caused waves after its advertisement fell flat with many people as it seemed to suggest it was crushing creativity and the tools artists use. But in truth, the new M4 iPad Pro is a wonder in innovation in terms of its incredibly powerful chip as well as its equally phenomenal size measuring at just 5.1mm thick. According to Apple, “M4 has Apple’s fastest Neural Engine ever, capable of up to 38 trillion operations per second, which is faster than the neural processing unit of any AI PC today. Combined with faster memory bandwidth, along with next-generation machine learning (ML) accelerators in the CPU, and a high-performance GPU, M4 makes the new iPad Pro an outrageously powerful device for artificial intelligence.” At the same time that Apple has been working on its M4 chip, Elon Musk’s company Neuralink produced a chip that can be implanted in the brain and provide its user the ability to control a computer using thoughts alone. At the moment, the company is testing its technology. As announced on its website, “Neuralink is currently seeking people with quadriplegia to participate in a groundbreaking investigational medical device clinical trial for our brain-computer interface.” According to Neuralink, the current version of the device — the N1 Implant — is an intracortical BCI implant designed to record neural activity through 1,024 electrodes distributed across 64 flexible leads, or “threads,” each of which is thinner than a human hair and capable of being placed independently in the brain. Eventually, Neuralink sees a future in which millions of people have the implant installed, providing the ability to control computers with their imagination. Now, let’s take this one step further. Imagine a future in which people have the Neuralink transplant and can control their iPad Pro using their imagination. This technology could provide a breakthrough in creativity and productivity. Whatever limits people have in terms of drawing or creativity can likely be corrected with the combined use of Artificial Intelligence and technology like Neuralink. Writers no longer need to sit for hours in front of a computer. Why not jog or ride a bike while writing at the same time? If all you need to do is think about what you want to write, and since you can take your thoughts with you anywhere, you are limitless in terms of productivity. You can write while mountain climbing, swimming, or just waiting in line at the supermarket. You can probably even use Neuralink while sleeping so technically you can write while you are dreaming. Artists can create all sorts of wonders in their sleep. With this technology, we may finally be able to understand what we dream about and what we think about while slumbering. Or perhaps we’d rather not know. Now, imagine that people can control their entire Smart Home system using Neuralink. Instead of using speech to say “Turn the lights on,” you can just think about it, and on they go. Sitting on the couch and too lazy to get up? No problem. Just think about turning on the fireplace or the coffee machine. Done. Naturally, this technology could become dangerous. "A penny for your thoughts” will take on a whole new level of meaning if people can literally see or hear what you are actually thinking all the time. I imagine most people would prefer others don’t know what they are thinking. Neuralink would need to have limitations in terms of what it can control and what thoughts it can reveal. And if our thoughts are controlling computers, we would need to be limited to specific commands, otherwise, our vacuum might be made to assume it can iron and our coffee machine will think it’s a dishwasher. Such technology could destroy the world as we know it. But that’s what people said about computers and cell phones and pretty much every invention since the wheel. It is more likely that Neuralink, the new iPad Pro, Artificial Intelligence, and the multitudes of other new technologies will only further enhance our already incredible universe.

According to Apple , “M4 has Apple’s fastest Neural Engine ever, capable of up to 38 trillion operations per second, which is faster than the neural processing unit of any AI PC today. Combined with faster memory bandwidth, along with next-generation machine learning (ML) accelerators in the CPU, and a high-performance GPU, M4 makes the new iPad Pro an outrageously powerful device for artificial intelligence.” According to Apple At the same time that Apple has been working on its M4 chip, Elon Musk’s company Neuralink produced a chip that can be implanted in the brain and provide its user the ability to control a computer using thoughts alone. At the moment, the company is testing its technology. As announced on its website , “Neuralink is currently seeking people with quadriplegia to participate in a groundbreaking investigational medical device clinical trial for our brain-computer interface.” website According to Neuralink, the current version of the device — the N1 Implant — is an intracortical BCI implant designed to record neural activity through 1,024 electrodes distributed across 64 flexible leads, or “threads,” each of which is thinner than a human hair and capable of being placed independently in the brain. Eventually, Neuralink sees a future in which millions of people have the implant installed, providing the ability to control computers with their imagination. Now, let’s take this one step further. Imagine a future in which people have the Neuralink transplant and can control their iPad Pro using their imagination. This technology could provide a breakthrough in creativity and productivity. Whatever limits people have in terms of drawing or creativity can likely be corrected with the combined use of Artificial Intelligence and technology like Neuralink. Writers no longer need to sit for hours in front of a computer. Why not jog or ride a bike while writing at the same time? If all you need to do is think about what you want to write, and since you can take your thoughts with you anywhere, you are limitless in terms of productivity. You can write while mountain climbing, swimming, or just waiting in line at the supermarket. You can probably even use Neuralink while sleeping so technically you can write while you are dreaming. Artists can create all sorts of wonders in their sleep. With this technology, we may finally be able to understand what we dream about and what we think about while slumbering. Or perhaps we’d rather not know. Now, imagine that people can control their entire Smart Home system using Neuralink. Instead of using speech to say “Turn the lights on,” you can just think about it, and on they go. Sitting on the couch and too lazy to get up? No problem. Just think about turning on the fireplace or the coffee machine. Done. Naturally, this technology could become dangerous. "A penny for your thoughts” will take on a whole new level of meaning if people can literally see or hear what you are actually thinking all the time. I imagine most people would prefer others don’t know what they are thinking. Neuralink would need to have limitations in terms of what it can control and what thoughts it can reveal. And if our thoughts are controlling computers, we would need to be limited to specific commands, otherwise, our vacuum might be made to assume it can iron and our coffee machine will think it’s a dishwasher. Such technology could destroy the world as we know it. But that’s what people said about computers and cell phones and pretty much every invention since the wheel. It is more likely that Neuralink, the new iPad Pro, Artificial Intelligence, and the multitudes of other new technologies will only further enhance our already incredible universe.

Neuralink and the Smart Home

As I sit here, enveloped in the hum of technology and surrounded by the glow of screens, I can't help but feel a sense of excitement and wonder. The concept of a digital and virtual world has captivated imaginations for years, and now, the idea of a metaverse is finally materializing. The metaverse, a virtual realm designed to be immersive, interactive, and shared by countless individuals, was once a staple of science fiction but is now emerging as a tangible reality, thanks to advancements in virtual and augmented reality technologies. My first experience with a VR headset was unforgettable. It felt like stepping into an entirely new dimension, with a profound sense of immersion and presence. Today, with companies like Meta Quest3, Apple Vision Pro, Lenovo ThinkReality VRX, and HTC Vive introducing high-quality VR headsets, VR has transcended its gaming origins and found utility across diverse industries such as healthcare, education, and architecture. The metaverse represents a natural evolution from VR, aspiring to create a fully realized digital domain that transcends the constraints of the physical world. It offers a canvas where social norms and value systems can be reimagined and liberated from the shackles of cultural and economic rigidity. The possibilities are endless - envision a world where one can traverse any landscape and undertake any endeavor. Art has always held a special allure for me, and the advent of NFTs has opened up new possibilities. NFTs, digital assets representing unique items like art, music, or collectibles, are stored on a blockchain, ensuring their scarcity and authenticity. Remarkably, artists can now sell their creations at prices that reflect their value. Gamification is a fundamental aspect of the metaverse, fostering the development of captivating and interactive experiences that drive user engagement and loyalty. Within the metaverse, gamification takes myriad forms, including virtual rewards, challenges, social interactions, and role-playing. It enhances the allure of the metaverse, making it a more enjoyable and immersive environment that beckons people to spend more time within its digital confines.

Introducing $DEDE: A Prehistoric Twist On Memecoins Revolutionizing The Solana Ecosystem

As a society, we've always been drawn to a good story. From ancient myths to modern-day blockbusters, the power of narrative has the ability to captivate, inspire, and transform. In the world of technology, where innovation is the name of the game, storytelling has become the secret weapon behind some of the most buzzed-about startups. And the unexpected heroes of this new era? None other than the creative directors, the ad agency alchemists turned tech founders who have traded in their storyboards for the chance to rewrite the future. Armed with a knack for storytelling and a flair for the dramatic, these former ad agency stars are trading in their Cannes Lions for the chance to launch the next big thing. But as the hype around projects like Humane's AI Pin reaches fever pitch, it's worth asking: are these visionaries revolutionizing the tech landscape, or are they just spinning tales? Take Humane's AI Pin, for example. This little device, dreamt up by former Apple creative directors Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno, has made quite the splash with its promise of a screenless, AI-driven future. But let's be real - it's not just the tech that's got everyone talking. It's the story. The vision of a world where technology seamlessly integrates into our lives, as natural as breathing. That's the kind of narrative that gets investors reaching for their checkbooks, the media clamoring for a headline and secures millions in funding. And Humane is far from alone in this new world order. Just look at the rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos. Sure, the revolutionary blood-testing technology never quite materialized, but damn if Holmes didn't spin one hell of a story. With her Steve Jobs-esque turtlenecks and promises of disruption, she had Silicon Valley eating out of the palm of her hand. Or what about Adam Neumann and WeWork? The man could sell a vision like no other, painting a picture of a workplace revolution that would “elevate the world's consciousness” (and the company's valuation to a cool $47 billion). But here's the thing about stories - they're only as good as the reality they're built on. When the curtain gets pulled back and the wizard is revealed to be just a guy with a smoke machine, things can get ugly fast. Just ask the folks who bought into the Theranos dream or the WeWork hype. When the story doesn't match the substance, it's not just disappointment that follows - it's disaster. Moreover, storytelling is not just about hype. Used responsibly, it can be a powerful tool for education and inspiration. When Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone, he didn't just sell a product; he painted a picture of how it would transform our lives. That narrative resonated because it was grounded in a genuine, revolutionary product. So what's the lesson here for the creative directors turned tech visionaries? The use of narrative as a launchpad is not without its risks: with great storytelling power comes great responsibility.The ability to craft a compelling narrative is a gift, but it's one that needs to be used wisely. The best stories, the ones that truly change the game, are the ones that are grounded in something real. Something tangible. Something that doesn't just tickle the imagination but actually follows through on its promises. This is the tightrope that creative directors in the tech world must walk. As for Humane's AI Pin? Only time will tell if it can live up to the hype. But one thing's for sure - in the wild west of tech startups, the storytellers are the new sheriffs in town. They're the ones who can make us believe in a brighter future, a more connected world, a reality where anything is possible. And in a world that can often feel like it's spinning out of control, that's a pretty powerful thing. But as we watch these narratives unfold, it's on us to remember that not every story has a happy ending, like . We've got to approach each new tale with a healthy dose of wonder and a hearty helping of skepticism. Because in the end, the most compelling story isn't always the most true - but it might just be the one that changes everything. As a society, we've always been drawn to a good story.

叙事作为启动板：创意总监如何推动 Humane 的 AI Pin 等科技企业的发展

Summer 2023 was a tough time for Web3 projects. Our company was bordering on breaking even with no ETA in sight. While we were looking for new possibilities and business ideas, we worked hard on developing existing products and services. In a volatile space, we had to work in a trial and error mode, with every new project having the potential to make or break the market. When There Is No Market Quite recently, I had a short but meaningful conversation with an IT business devil. I came in with a direct approach right off the bat, stating that my company provides security services for the blockchain market. "There is no blockchain market," was his response. He even elaborated, claiming that there’s a mobile devices market and a real estate market but no "blockchain market." Bold statement, but it gave me some food for thought. The mobile development market cap was , the EV market cap was around , and the wearables market cap was . There is plenty of room to play. But what is the blockchain market? According to CoinMarketCap, the global crypto market cap was about . However, the blockchain services and products market was just . $206.85 billion in 2022 $388 billion in 2023 $71.91 billion in 2023 $1.69 trillion in January 2024 $11.4 billion in 2022 First of all, there’s a huge difference between the asset cap and services cap. Second, if your startup is aiming to take 0.01% of a $206 billion market, it is aiming at $20.6 million. But then, even 0.1% of an $11 billion market is $11 million. Consider: You’re trying to take a 10x market share but gaining half the revenue. At the end of the day, $11.4 billion doesn’t come close to a big corporation number, and here we were trying to claim the existence of a whole market. Despite working in it for years, I had no other choice but to agree with the initial claim of the IT business expert. There are companies, projects, and startups, but they haven’t yet made a market. Making A Market If the market doesn’t exist, why bother, right? There are several already successful functioning and developing markets. And if you think about it, entering them does become easier in time. It’s cheaper, too, thanks to various technological leaps and the options to start from scratch and develop an advanced product. But in the end, we always see the same image: margin drops down to zero profitability. That, however, doesn’t apply to some restricted markets that exist solely based on monopolies. Working in an officially nonexistent space has its advantages. Everything is brand new, and as a founder, you make the rules. There also is a lucky chance event that can happen to a market that doesn’t exist: It can appear. If you still have doubts, you can look back at history. Every revolution, be it industrial or technological, kickstarted the development of not one but several dedicated markets. A company might start with 3% of nothing and grow to 3% of everything in no time, surpassing huge corporations in other fields. It might be a long-lasting success or just a flash, but at the end of the day, that’s how many success stories began. How To Approach A Nonexistent Market Whether a market is new or well-developed, success is impossible unless you try to achieve it. But I’m going to take this segment to talk about chickens. It’s no secret that hens are the point of interest for poultry farms. Roosters, however, often become meat as soon as they reach a required weight. Yet, in many cases, it's only possible to tell the sex of a chicken around the fifth or sixth week of their life. Before that, hens and roosters look identical. This brings massive expenses that go into feeding and maintaining about 50% of the birds, which are virtually useless for the farm. Surprisingly, the issue could be solved: Factories and farms have trained people who can identify a chicken’s sex with and only a day after the chicken is hatched. The best can process 1,000 chickens per hour, and what’s most incredible is that it’s a teachable skill. There’s no theory to that, just intuition and practice: After every attempt, a professional confirms or denies the results, and this happens until the student achieves the required accuracy. 98% accuracy A startup in a new market is similar to a chicken. Most founders attempt to identify its potential after six to 12 months of existence, even after investing large sums in launching the project. But there is another way. Like those chicken sex experts, a founder has to practice and train their intuition so that they eventually will be able to determine the perspectives and potential success of their startup. There is no logic to this; the circumstances change every day, and hard data comes in too late. So the only real skill is your gut feeling—that’s what founders should be training and developing. This skill is the only important and viable advantage for any founder. Conclusion There are two ways to conquer a market. A startup can disrupt the existing field with an innovative product or hope for a multiplier in a market that doesn’t yet exist. Either way, success isn’t guaranteed. So, the blockchain market, whether it’s already created and developed or just exists in our imaginations, can still be a fruitful field. Follow me on . Check out my . LinkedIn website

NFT Gaming, Crypto's Role in AGI, and Web3 Future: A Deep-Dive with Chris Trew of Stratis

Software developers rarely design the most aesthetically pleasing software. These principles can help you and other developers change this narrative. Keep it simple. Simplicity is a principle to follow in design. Overcomplicating your design won’t make it better in most cases. Beautiful designs can be created from the simplest ideas. Sometimes, good ideas become useless due to over-complication. People like beautiful things that aren’t complicated. It does not matter how good your software is if the users cannot find their way around it. A simple and beautiful design is more beneficial than a complicated design. Keep things simple and functional. Your clientele will thank you for this. Avoid Reinventing the Wheel Reinventing the wheel is re-creating something already created, tested, and proven effective. It harms overall development and often leads to unnecessary complexity. It's better to use existing and proven solutions. An underrated tactic is gaining inspiration from another creation and making it your own with your twist. We have used this principle to enhance the aesthetics of Goleko. We took inspiration from MacOS, customizing our buttons and features using it as a guide. We plan to take some inspiration from Windows and incorporate it into the design, creating a fresh and unique outlook that is Goleko. We’ll make designs similar to Windows and MacOS, allowing users to experience a theme familiar to their machine. It is okay to steal designs and add your flare to them. You can steal such designs from other websites or get them from themes. Our designs are simple and functional, conforming to design best practices. We don’t do too much. We improve where necessary to improve user experience (UX), but we do not try to change what has been proven to be efficient. Avoid Tunnel Vision. It’s not rare for designers to get engulfed in their designs. Tunnel vision makes it hard for designers to see the holes or weaknesses in their design. The result is a design that’s pleasing for them but not for their target clientele. Focusing on completion instead of other effects is detrimental to your design. Take time to determine what works well for your design and what your users want. Design something that incorporates the two. This will help you avoid tunnel vision, allowing you to create something that works well for users. Consistency Over Fanciness Creating a fancy product is a good thing, and it’s highly recommended. This does not mean you ignore its consistency. Clients prefer a product that remains consistent in delivering what they need. Design a product that works and delivers as advertised. You can incorporate consistent paddings and margins into this as well. It helps to make a site appear clean and easily readable. This also follows the law of continuity. This law states that we tend to see continuous patterns and lines. These create a sense of flow and hierarchy in designs by using continuous lines or color gradients, creating a sense of movement. These guide the user's eye toward important information. Such simple solutions promote consistency for your products, making them viable and usable by your clients. Proportions Excellent designs have elements of different sizes that fit nicely together to create coherent proportions. Here is an example: Websites can display different content types, such as articles, videos, and images. Highlight the most crucial content and guide the user's eye toward it. A good example specific for me is making the article section livelier than the other sections. I do this when articles are the most pivotal content on a website. Implement different proportions to create emphasis. You can use smaller proportions for less critical content, such as images or videos. This creates a hierarchy of importance and guides the user's eye to the most crucial elements of the website. Color Adherence The best designers understand how to combine different colors that complement each other. This mere statement sounds simple, but is a science. Flatuicolors has numerous color palettes showcasing different colors that accentuate and complement each other. A successful product is both functional and visually pleasing. Picking the best color scheme goes a long way in making your product beautiful and enjoyable to use by everyone. Colors brighten everything, and pairing them with their ideal partners is the first step to creating a masterpiece. Conclusion Software developers focus on designing a product that works well. Designing the aesthetics isn’t a concern for them. This makes it easy for them to create software that’s not easy on the eye or welcoming. These principles can help bridge this gap between development and design. It shouldn’t be rare for a developer to design a pleasing product. This piece can help start this trend.

Software Developers Can Build Beautiful Software: Here's How

Cryptography and the Golden Security Line

HackerNoon has tens of thousands of articles for readers to indulge in. Unfortunately, not every reader has the time and ability to sit through every piece of writing published on the website. HackerNoon acknowledges this, and we have created a feature to assist in the sharing of content. The TL;DR feature provides readers a way to gain a quick understanding of an article while allowing writers to share a clear, concise synopsis of their published piece. How Does the TL;DR Feature at HackerNoon Work? TL;DR is internet slang for “too long; didn’t read”, which is what HackerNoon kept in mind when building this new feature. TL;DR takes snippets of an article and compiles them into a short summary at the top of the page. It reads through the entire article to find keywords, topics, and relevant opinions, placing them into the summary at an estimated 500 characters. This feature is powered by an AI known as TLDRThis, which was considered by the HN developer in charge of the project to be one of the best text summarization models available today. The text summarization model built into the TL;DR feature at HackerNoon is configured to write summaries with these specifications in mind. However, it might not perform so well with listicles and other more expository pieces. This is where the writers come in, as the TL;DR feature is completely customizable. If writers don’t like what the AI has written, they can choose to create their own TL;DR, offering more personalized summaries to their readership. The scope of this feature is limited only to the writer’s imagination. However, remember the point of a TL;DR is to keep it concise, so try to limit yourself to 100 words. How to Use the TL;DR Feature For writers, the TL;DR feature is used during creation of an article’s draft. After filling in tags and a meta description, the TL;DR box is waiting for writers to either generate a summary or create their own. Clicking on the “AI-Generated TL;DR” button will cause the AI to generate its own summary based on the article’s content. Writers should read over the generated summary to ensure it covers the information they want to share. For readers, using the TL;DR feature on HackerNoon is simple. At the top of every article, just under the title, there will be a stylized “TL;DR” button. Simply clicking it will allow readers to view the summary without having to scroll any further down. Clicking the button again will hide it, letting readers focus on the article itself. The Benefits of the TL;DR Feature at HackerNoon This feature has major benefits for both writers and readers. For writers, it allows them to continue honing their skills in writing concise summaries of their articles. Alternatively, the AI functionality makes it easier to simply focus on the article itself, not needing to put so much work into simply creating a short synopsis. It can also give the writer some insight into how their article might read at a glance, allowing them to make some last-minute changes where necessary. For readers, the TL;DR feature allows for a quick glance at an article to understand what it’s trying to convey. Hours do not need to be spent simply on understanding the point the writer is making; simply reading the TL;DR can accomplish that in seconds. The feature is also useful in giving readers an overview of what’s to come in the article, and help them decide whether or not to keep reading. The Future of TL;DR As with any HackerNoon feature, TL;DR will continue to improve with each article created. Additionally, HackerNoon is working to implement an entire mobile application based around the TL;DR feature. When a writer sets a TL;DR in their story settings, their writing will automatically be published to the TL;DR app. The launch date of the app has yet to be announced, but on-the-go readers should keep an eye out for when that time comes! The TL;DR feature at HackerNoon is helpful for writers and readers alike. Whether powered by AI or hand-crafted by our steallar writers, these short summaries allow people to get to the point of an article faster than ever. We hope everyone enjoys making full use of the TL;DR feature! HackerNoon has tens of thousands of articles for readers to indulge in.

What is the TL;DR Feature at HackerNoon?

Recently, Solana (SOL) and Ethereum (ETH) surged by 5.5% and 3.5%, respectively, reflecting the market's bullish momentum, possibly influenced by BTC's recent halving. Amidst this, Furrever Token (FURR) emerges as a notable contender, capturing investor attention with an impressive accumulation of nearly $1,000,000 during its two-month presale period. As these cryptocurrencies make significant moves, investors eagerly anticipate their continued growth and the opportunities they present in the ever-evolving digital asset space. Solana (SOL) Surges 5.5%: Technical Analysis and Price Predictions Solana (SOL) has surged by 5.5% to reach a current price of $150.63, reflecting robust market performance with a significant 24-hour trading volume of $2.97 billion. This surge has propelled Solana's market capitalization to approximately $67.62 billion, solidifying its position as the fifth largest by market cap. Market watchers are increasingly optimistic about Solana's price predictions as it faces immediate resistance at $164.56, with further hurdles at $185.94 and $204.26. Support levels are identified at $126.23, $110.96, and $92.64, providing potential bounce-back points. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 39 suggests Solana is nearing oversold conditions, while the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $156.28 presents a significant resistance level. Whether Solana can sustain its upward momentum and overcome resistance posed by the 50-day EMA remains critical for investors and traders, as a breakout could lead to further gains. At the same time, failure to hold may result in a retreat to lower support zones. Ethereum (ETH) Rides Bitcoin Halving Wave: Capital Inflows Spark 4% Surge. Ethereum (ETH) witnessed a 4% surge, reaching a current price of $3,163.71, propelled by capital inflows sparked by Bitcoin's halving event. This surge mirrors the upside moves across the crypto market, with total market capitalization rising by 3.5% in the same period. Notably, the ETH/BTC pair rises roughly 2.5% to 0.048 BTC on April 21, indicating growing Ethereum dominance. Historically, Ethereum experienced increased capital inflows from Bitcoin post-halving events, leading to significant price surges. Recent data from Glassnode reveals accumulation among Ethereum's wealthiest investors, suggesting a precursor to further price upside. The current support level near ETH's 0.5 Fibonacci retracement line and its 200-day exponential moving average presents an attractive buying opportunity, reinforcing traders' confidence in Ethereum's upward trajectory.

如何从经理转型为领导者

The way to understand the way our mind works, the way society works, and that of the natural universe may be evolution. While pondering this I, as usual, came across a larger and more difficult question: What is purpose and where might it come from? Does purpose need a source? First, let me backtrack. We accept that evolution is the best description for the multitude of living species and their different attributes. Life itself seems to be a result of evolution, the change from non-living matter to cells that reproduce comes through the process of interaction – the blending of information, randomness (random mutation), and a best fit, or actually just fit to external surroundings. Actually, the concept of internal, inside the organism or your body, and the outside world may be far more blurred than we usually imagine. In what you call your body there are millions of bacteria many of which are necessary to your bodily functions. Although separate organisms they contribute to the whole of you, your organism. You are an amalgam. Your skin is porous letting in UV rays, chemicals (vitamin E crème for instance is designed to penetrate the skin) and sound and radiation waves pass through us as does electricity changing us in the process. This sideline just helps to illustrate that we like linear boxes although the universe is not boxed or linear. My idea sprouted wings while reading “Time Reborn” by physicist Lee Smolin. He posits that the rules of the universe, the physical laws of quantum and Newtonian physics, are a “best fit” group of rules like the DNA in an animal instructing it how to survive in its environment. They are not perfect but they are very close, and they seem to apply pretty much universally. There are infinite possibilities. But why is the speed of light a constant at 299,792,458 m/s?  Why these laws?  He proposes that these laws are the best fit for just this universe and they evolved with this universe in a coupling. These rules are still evolving. He sees black holes as the place where new laws are made and tested. Only those that fit the universe around them would survive. Recently I read an interview with acclaimed neurologist Gerald Edelman in NPQ and his description of the way our brain works and it is very similar to what I have previously written about on JeS in the article How to Create a Brain (Artificial Intelligence). Our brain finds the best fit or even any fit decisions or actions through a process of trial and error combined with randomness and imagination. Trial and error is essentially a very quick form of evolution. We test each new breed against current circumstances (often imagined) and those that don’t fit are “killed” off and those that do “survive” are tested in the real world and if successful stored for later use. But here I discovered the problem. We have a purpose. We are trying to achieve a goal. If we are trying to find the nearest Bunnings we can test different routes and modes of transport in our imagination first, and then test them in real life to fit the purposes of; Buying a hammer,
Speed of acquisition
Minimal cost. Our brain has purpose and so it creates new ideas and procedures – new information. It evolves making new connections between neurons. Societies and cultures do likewise; being an extension of the beings in them; they test ideas, adapt -making changes – then enforce rules when they have found the best fit. I have talked before about how rigid rules and hierarchies can actually stifle this evolutionary progression in societies. Cultures and societies can and do collapse – the death of a species – they can also spread memes like genes which hold the information for future use. But both animals and societies (groups of animals) have purpose.  In simple life forms the reproduction of the species is the purpose that drives everything. In simple cultures (groups) it is also the maintaining of the individuals to reproductive age to spread the species. But what is the purpose of the universe? What could the intrinsic purpose of a rock be?\ We, of course, have many purposes that are not directly related to the extension or maintenance of the entire species instead many relate solely to a good and happy life. Many people don’t breed but still have purpose. Humans just like many animals have dopamine receptors which give us pleasure from certain activities, and stress responses that cause us discomfort from bad experiences. Many of our evolutionary choice processes are driven by the desire to maximize pleasure and minimize pain. In a grander sense, we can invent purposes for ourselves. Be it making the world a better place or being the best footballer ever. Purpose seems to be a fluid thing, one that bends and maybe even forms from the environment and society in which we live. It may not need a linear root at all. Some people commit suicide and there is some speculation that whales may beach themselves as a form of suicide. That goes against the central purpose to progress the species. And, most importantly, many people never have children but still have purpose. Our need for a purpose to evolution is the way we try to interpret and understand the world. We want linear connections; we want a cause and effect. But there can be no ultimate cause, for nothing could cause it. Linear lines are endless. I am trying to get away from this way of thinking in this article about evolution being the way to comprehend the universe. However, there may be a way for our linear mind to understand such a concept. Perhaps the universe works in the same way as our brain. It does not need an intrinsic purpose from which all sub-purposes branch. Each micro-part, each atom, each string, and each energy field constantly adapts to the other fields and particles around it, and to the larger form, planets, stars, and gravity. An inter-loop of 4 (and possibly more) dimensional informational transfers; small to large, group and field to group, and field is all in constant flow. Constantly adapting to itself. It just is, and will, continue to be but in a constantly changing and interactive way. In the same way, we refer to the sun rising today as being a sunrise as we called yesterday’s, even though the temperature is different, the hue more magenta, and our mood less happy. The purpose (if required) is to form in the micro-interaction and randomness of evolution. Thus creating a larger organismic form, and then feeding back to itself.  We can box these things to absolutes that never existed. I would like to make one more comment about how physics may be able to help us grasp the non-linear. The theory of the Higgs Boson – which has been supported by experiments in the Large Hadron Collider –  that a Higgs Boson particle does imbalance the field of energy which causes energy to become matter. Imbalance; which we mean to be a purpose away from its desired state. This imbalance is pulling to a purpose, pulling to nothing, pulling to balance and inactivity, to chaos to infinity, which is the purpose of the universe. The matter comes from imbalance the in-between nothing and infinity, the imperfection of Plato’s forms as everything pulls toward perfect nothingness. So here we have the purpose of the universe and all comes from its inability to achieve it. As it is with us. This is just a prelude to something larger for there are too many vague areas for a thorough argument. Please think and write a comment if you want to help. This was first published a long time ago (2014) on my website JeSaurai.net which is over 20 years old now.
