New Fascinating Science & Technology video landing later today...
Angine de Poitrine has achieved mainstream popularity despite an unconventional blend of math rock, heavy microtones, and complex time signatures.
In this Deep Dive we explore the music science and cognitive psychology behind their highly addictive sound. By analysing the intersection of psychoacoustics and neurology, we examine how their unpredictable rhythmic structures and microtonal frequencies bypass standard auditory processing to reliably trigger a cognitive flow state.

#Bitcoin faces an existential threat from quantum computers - or does it??
General purpose, reliable, scalable #QuantumComputing is already here - or is it??
The next mafftopia Science and Technology video will be out this Monday. (Or will it?)

#OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says the next AI breakthrough will be machines that remember everything that you've ever done
And soon, presumably, everything that you've ever thought?
Imagine OpenAI's ambition combined with, say, Neuralink's brain-implant product - albeit used to create post-human Ubermensches, rather than for its intended medical purpose.
#InfiniteFlawlessMemory in the hands of our #AI overlords and thought-reading augmentation, will become #TotalLifeTracking instead. The thought fills me with dread.
But I still prefer to see Science and Technology as being a force for good. So on to happier things now!

This new, multitasking material computes like a brain.
The material transforms at the molecular-level to switch its function - to alternately remember, compute, and learn.
It unlocks a new type of computing architecture, and potentially all kinds of applications.
The team of chemists involved in the research synthesised 17 ruthenium-based molecular complexes with precisely engineered ligands. These allow electrons and ions to reorganise dynamically.
