For anyone interested in going, I highly recommend hearing Ed Boyden's talk on "Engineering the Brain." Fantastic research and an amazing guy.

"Kwindla Kramer, THE FUTURE OF COMPUTING: MULTI-USER, MULTI-MACHINE, MULTI-DEVICE"

MULTI ALL THE MULTIS

In all seriousness, multimodal/HCI/UI/UX/AI/psych peeps will love this

This looks sick, I hope there's going to be videos posted. Although, it _might_ be a nice weekend to travel to Boston...

Anybody know how big the MIT population on HN is? SWAG (stupid wild ass guesses) welcome.

I would guess it's smaller than you think. I feel it's not that big of a subset of MIT CS majors who care about startups/the kind of things posted on HN. Including faculty, I'm going to guess 200-300 regulars at most and up to a 1000 with occasional lurkers.

I'm biased: some floors of this building I'm in have an MIT building number for mail delivery.

I'll SWAG roughly 5,000 people read HN and are within walking or T distance of MIT.
