Lev's Channel

Our announcement went quite well!
We added $250m to the valuation of our transducer manufacturer, our friends at Butterfly

Finally shared what I've been working on!

We obtained the highest-resolution 3D images of the human brain ever taken from outside the skull. We did that using ultrasound and injected microbubbles as a contrast agent.

We learned to induce smells with ultrasound as a side project: https://writetobrain.com/olfactory

Also, Alexey and me fixed the stickers (there's even more of them now!) and are about to release much more 🎁

Happy New Year from Zurich 🎅🎅
Meanwhile, we're shipping the last features of the year with @yankhachko — there's still some time

(we're not just nerding, we also went to church and played piano and talked to its head who turned out to be Russian-speaking; back to shipping now tho)

Some interesting links:
- You can just teach yourself echolocation
- A medical treatment for sleeping 5h per nights is possible
- Lactose intolerance is a skill issue apparently
- DIY lung cancer cure
- An extension to replace YouTube clickbait titles and thumbnails with actual descriptions

we will make literallyme work great again

Honestly it's a shame I don't have a habit of posting here - the last months have been kinda interesting. Some things that happened in the past two months:
🇨🇭 Moved to Switzerland - I'm studying at ETH Zurich now
📰 We submitted a paper to Nature Communications, it's in review (Martin Sandomirsky is great btw)
📈 A channel of mine reached a couple million subscribers
🎤 Spoke at TON Bootcamps in Berlin and Paris, was mentioned here
- Got a diss track written about me lol
- Shipped the TON Site constructor. Fixed the bugs in @literalmebot and implemented paid packs, did not ship that yet
✈️ Paul Du Rove came to the meetup of this channel's former comments chat — you can join the new one btw, spoiled some future Telegram features
⛽️ Had a little exit 💸 in one of the projects
🏰 Went to a chateau in Czechia for a rationalist gathering, and to a %classified% conference in Riga - was fun
🪙 Went to TON Gateway in Dubai. It was a very nice conference, built a lot of soon-to-be-fruitful partnerships with very cool people. Went to a dinner with Mikhail Svetov and some of my TON friends
🏝 Met the people working on eternal life and building libertarian jurisdiction, like Vitalia in Honduras, as well as the president of Liberland — this is actually very exciting

Most of these things (rather than being shallow flexes) surprisingly converge to something I'm working on now — stay tuned

I should post more

Coming to a CUDA hackathon to optimize some physics simulations - in a driverless taxi

They really do not like the metric system huh

In 1977, Frank Sinatra wrote a song about the greatest city in the world. However, the producers reacted with "wtaf is Dolgoprudny??", and so Frank had to rewrite "Dolgoprudny, Dolgoprudny" about his second-favorite city. But that on is pretty great too, actually. It even has a copy of that French statue (fig. 3, it's not to scale)
