They will when federated learning kicks off


Hey everyone!

Michael from Moodmap here.

ADHD can be measured to some degree with the QB test https://adhdtest.moodmap.app/qbtest.html .

It can be measured far better with newer research, in ways that are more ecologically valid.

https://adhdtest.moodmap.app/pupildetect.html

And the pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of the drugs that impact ADHD can be measured against those symptoms.

https://adhdtest.moodmap.app/medicationandefficacy.html

I was working on this when I first got diagnosed with ADHD, ASD and C-PTSD around 2 years ago. I took a break from the project while dealing with some personal stuff, and honestly just getting distracted and taking too much LSD, and learning a lot about hypnotherapy.

I'm back because - nothing has really been done to really properly validate these categorical illnesses and the drugs we use to maintain our mental wellness, as opposed to bandaids we don't understand to treat mental illness.

Looking to get some feedback, and really understand how these bloody drugs piercing my blood brain barrier WORK!


The lack of knowledge and ignorance of quantum computing in this thread is incredible.

Quantum computers do exist.

They are extremely useful and do things that digital computers cannot do. Categorically cannot.

The cynicism in this thread is crazy


Why not list what some of those things are? Links are fine if you’re pressed for time.

I’m not being snarky; I haven’t read much about quantum computing and I am genuinely interested in practical applications.

As it is, your comment just reads as “you people are a bunch of idiots, you’re all wrong and crazy, and I’ll insult you repeatedly but not offer one single corrective argument”. It would be insane for anyone to change their mind based on your comment, you’ll only get people to double down.


As someone who has heard talk about Quantum Computers for over a decade now, and never seen a single actual application, I would be very interested if you could provide examples of where I could make use of them right now for things that I couldn't do with classical computers. If they "do exist" and "are extremely useful" then I believe you have exactly what I am asking in mind?


>They are extremely useful and do things that digital computers cannot do.

But that is false. A classical computer can simulate a quantum computer. Performance is the difference, not inherent ability.

>The cynicism in this thread is crazy

The cynicism stems from people telling others that practical quantum computers will change the world for at least a decade. Even the URL invokes deep cynicism in me, as it randomly combines Quantum computing with the current hot thing. When will openAI switch to quantum computing for their LLMs? Next year?


> The cynicism stems from people telling others that practical quantum computers will change the world for at least a decade.

Practical quantum computers will change the world (break RSA 2048). The question is "when". The people who have a timeline of ~10 years instead of decades contribute to what we in our community call "Quantum hype" and it's very much frowned upon by most of the members in the community.

> combines Quantum computing with the current hot thing

The founder of this lab has an illustrious career in machine learning and is now researching how quantum computers can help with that.


How would breaking RSA change the world?

Perhaps via some practical (non-crypto) application of factoring large numbers?


Breaking RSA changes the world by breaking crypto and implicitly by moving protocols to post-quantum crypto, which is already happening https://security.apple.com/blog/imessage-pq3/.

Quantum computers also change the world by solving circuit-SAT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_satisfiability_problem more efficiently than classical computers than.

They also change the world by simulating quantum systems efficiently, which classical computers cannot do. This has profound implications for physics.


Ok, how about listing some of the stuff they can do?


There's a few things they can do better in theory.

But as far as I know none of the existing quantum computers works well enough to achieve that 'quantum supremacy', yet.

So I have no clue what Hewlberno is talking about with their comment.


Are all those extremely useful applications in the room with us right now?


I'd really like to see just one example a useful problem that a quantum computer can solve and which classical computers can't.

And I'll qualify that as a real quantum computer which exists in physical form today, not something theoretical in someone's research paper.


I think the problem here is that people are assuming it is just a different type of what we have now, instead of something completely different.

So we have a new tech like Blockchain, it takes a few years and gets really "big".

We have an AI revolution, ok the research has been ongoing for years but it seems like there has been overnight advancement.

I'm sure people are expecting the same with quantum computing, but it's not just a re-use of existing tech (transistors) it is development of brand new tech.

It is better to imagine it as research into fusion power generation. It will take a long time, no one is sure just how useful it will be.

But saying a research quantum computer can't outperform an existing computer is like saying cern can't outperform a coal fired power plant.

Not only two different things, but one of them isn't even designed to generate power.

Bit more information as well about the tests aimed at, will write out more.


Hey everyone,

I ahve adhd. built this out a year or so ago, and thought I'd begin makign it into something usable for people.

Love some feedback :)


LinkTunes takes any content, starting with youtube lectures, and generates music to match it. Think of a boring physics lecture, and then imagine it being taught by Joe Rogan to Daft Punk beats syncronised to make dry content into memetic earworms.


Hey everyone!

Synthtrails lets you make a song from anything, your words, images, research, graphs, lectures, body movements, anything! Human expression - to music.

New update is below https://youtu.be/Iwu7JTC8Sow

Would love to get some feedback - it's very rough and buggy so please be gentle and ask for help if need be!


e harness the latest AI technology to create a symphony from your sentiments, personalizing music that resonates with your mood. And soon we will give you the ability to own your synthtrails.

Think Leonardo.ai but way cooler and with music and VR.


Hi guys! I recently deployed your open source product for a client - great code.

One thing I personally see expanding is document generation. This involves a tailored Q and A generation pipeline, specific RAG and the use of knowledge graphs and ontologies down the line.

I’m curious as to how you are going to towards that very clear future and therefore stay ahead of copilot as an example.


The Fun Parts: Synthy uses Computer Vision, to let users use there hands to mix music, and GenAI to generate beats / songs. 1⃣ Far higher fidelity for controlling the music with your hands 2⃣ Mix, and match, the right beats, to your audience. 3⃣ This is actually sort of fun.

Been playing around with these sorts of tools, thought it may be of interest to the hackernews crew, i'll make a youtube vidyah demonstrating it :)


Should probably disclaim you made this.
