Interest bad is far below brilliant

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Ya, my first thought was that’s a semi useless number without a comparison and then skimmed the article to see if there was, but there wasn’t.

I have 0 doubts it’s way higher than the non trans population, but for all we know it’s 80% for everyone else.

Providing the proper numbers would also then let is say things like 4x more often or whatever it is.

I’d also be interested in a breakdown by region

They’re working on providing sight with the implant and he says it’s working in monkeys so they’re clearly still working on sending info in

Brazil Supreme Court justice orders investigation of Elon Musk over fake news and obstruction (apnews.com)

A crusading Brazilian Supreme Court justice included Elon Musk as a target in an ongoing investigation over the dissemination of fake news and opened a separate investigation late Sunday into the executive for alleged obstruction....

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Why do I have the feeling if this goes far enough that Musk won’t be able to legally enter Brazil anymore, and therefore harm tesla and his other companies at the same time by not being able to perform business there anymore?

10 days to prescribe for whooping cough or 10 days for any bacterial infection?

If it’s 10 days for anything that sounds absolutely bonkers to me.

If it’s 10 just for whooping cough that’s weird, but I guess there might be a specific reason.

Edit: re read your post and see it’s anything. That’s insane and can be deadly in countless situations. Like, oh you got bacterial pneumonia, let’s just wait 10 fucking days.

Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV (arstechnica.com)

A patent application from the company spotted by Lowpass describes a system for displaying ads over any device connected over HDMI, a list that could include cable boxes, game consoles, DVD or Blu-ray players, PCs, or even other video streaming devices. Roku filed for the patent in August 2023 and it was published in November...

Did they use 3 different types of memory? If one is failing after 45 years I’d think the odds of the other similar memory possibly failing as well is possible

Ukraine packed a Cessna-style plane with explosives, added remote controls and kamikaze’d it into a Russian drone factory 600 miles away (www.forbes.com)

In a sharp escalation of its drone campaign targeting strategic industries deep inside Russia, Ukraine seems to have fitted Cessna-style light planes with remote controls, packed them with explosives and flown at least one of them more than 600 miles to strike a Russian factory in Yelabuga, 550 miles east of Moscow....

NotMyOldRedditName ,

And thats when you put down your mask, give hand signals saying radios out, and then veer the plane into the fighter jet and shoot it up with the machine gun!

NotMyOldRedditName ,

There’s also buttons (I believe capacitive, but not 100% sure), but they aren’t as convenient to use.

It’s not only touch screen though.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

What about finding someone like this and then blackmailing them?

That would be cheaper

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Thanks for the clarification. I was being lazy and didn’t read it and thought that meant apple couldn’t solder the ram to the motherboard aka pairing it.

If you watch the interview, he says he can’t do that for extended time because he can’t sit in the chair for that long without getting sore spots, and he has body spasms which put him out of place which would require someone else to put him back into a playable spot.

He can do this with neuralink in his bed, despite the spasms that change his position.

Edit: that one might be different though, the tongue one he has is part of his chair

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Part of the study is to see how long it lasts. It’s replaceable in theory but there’s things like are there complications with redoing it (e.g scar tissue) to be explored.

As a human trial, he may never get an upgrade, and it might fail in a few months unexpectedly.

It’s part of the risk of being in a trial vs waiting until it’s a finished product.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Their next product is to give vision to blind people and they claim its working in monkeys now to some extent with graphics to start off low like a NES game.

So that might not be too far off.

Breaking News! Sources in Lemmy said Elon Musk of Tesla rolled his eyes at waitress at an undisclosed restaurant!

NotMyOldRedditName ,

Three was an interview/presentation at neuralink where people asked him some questions.

Someone asked him what it felt like to use it, and he tried to explain, but it came down to it was too complicated to fully explain it.

Asking him if it caused any sort of fatigue would have been a amazing question.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

To do the turn or to process the turn when you submit? Lol

NotMyOldRedditName ,

The fidelity of information we can get outside of the brain is much less than the fidelity of what we can get inside the brain.

Neuralink has 1024 electrodes (and I’ve heard them talk about 4k if memory serves in the future)

They’re going to be able to do much more than point and click in the future, but as mentioned below they also broke the point and click record in the first 7 hours using it.

You gotta start somewhere though and point and click is a good space to start and can be meaningful.

With 2 or more implants one in the motor cortex and one connected below the break in his spine, he might even be able to walk one day. But you don’t start with that. You build up to it.

Also being the first human patient in a trial may delay his personal ability to enter a future trial like a walking one with the same patient. So he’s taking on various future risks to his future potential lifestyle being the first human trial.

US sues Apple for illegal monopoly over smartphones (www.theverge.com)

The US Department of Justice and 16 state and district attorneys general accused Apple of operating an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market in a new antitrust lawsuit. The DOJ and states are accusing Apple of driving up prices for consumers and developers at the expense of making users more reliant on its iPhones.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

The apple watch thing is kinda interesting.

So you make a watch and it has super tight integrations with OS level software on the phone.

I can’t imagine they can force apple to write an Android app, which doesn’t even have the same system level access as their OS app and provide some sort of degraded service.

Maybe they could force them to let it function in some limited way but where do you draw the line on forcing them to write android apps?

NotMyOldRedditName ,

But I wanted to point out, Android is much, much more permissive in what peripherals and apps can do.

That’s kinda true, but not what I was getting at. Android has restrictive background processing limits and the APIs around it keep getting more restrictive and the OEMs like Samsung keep ignoring the rules of how things should work and break your apps when you do it right anyway… Ultimately it’s incredibly difficult to write an app and guarantee background work.

Apple, is even worse on its restrictions of background work, but Apple owns the OS and and can bypass it all for their watch.

Apple will never get to bypass the fuckery you have to deal with on Android, only the Android OEMs get that.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

What do you do though if Apple is telling the truth and allowing 3rd party wallets would degrade the security even for their own wallet?

NotMyOldRedditName ,

There’s actual burn in, but there’s also perceived burn in (I made the term up) which this wouldn’t fix.

If you leave the TV on for hundreds of hours playing 4:3 TV for example with black bars on each side, those bars aren’t emitting light. Meanwhile the content that is shown is slowly degrading those OLEDs.

Eventually the content OLEDs are dimmer than the black bar OLEDs and you have “burn in” with the bars visible.

So it could still be a problem for things like static displays where there isn’t always moving content.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

That makes sense ya

The safe withdraw for an extended early retirement is 3.5%

With 4%, while the chance is small, you could end up running out of money.

Someone did all the numbers for 35-40+ years looking back historically, and there were 4 or 5 years where if you started then and didn’t adjust your plan, you’d run out of cash.

There were 0 scenarios where 3.5% ran out

NotMyOldRedditName ,

You can just buy a put.

There’s no infinite loss risk either, the amount risked is determined up front.

Riskier in the sense it can expire worthless, you can’t hold it forever.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

It’s ability to be stolen really comes down to was the password to it ever written down or did they not use a password.

If they didn’t write it down, you could conceivably keep it safe from theft as long as the people that know the password don’t give it up if tortured.

Also breaking it up into multiple wallets with different passwords that not everyone knows would limit a complete theft.

Edit: in the scenario where it can’t be stolen, killing everyone that knows the password would still leave the country with nothing though.

I moved into a new place, there was a tenant in private suite downstairs.

We hung out here and there and I fronted him for a couple restaurant meals over a few weeks.

When I started asking for him to pay me back he laughed and said no, you shouldn’t give money to strangers.

I let the landlord know, he didn’t care, we stopped talking and I eventually moved out.

He never said he’d reach orbit alive or in 1 piece

I’ve always thought that a smart contract system on a blockchain like Ethereum could make for a really good ride share app that’s focused on the drivers running their own independent business.

It would solve the payments problem. It could also automate the requesting and accepting a ride.

The drivers could post their own rates

The contract could take a small fee out of the ride fare to help fund the devs.

And with the latest Ethereum upgrade this week, you could transact for pennies.

I’m still not sure how decentralized trust would work though, and how you’d get licensed.

Real time map updates might be a problem too, but maybe the driver app and rider app could find each other and open a websocket and stream GPS locations peer to peer instead of via any centralized server? This part might be more janky at first vs a central service.

Edit: and the service could run on a stable coin so people aren’t subject to volatility

Edit: just thinking on the GPS… if the driver publicly posts a web socket/api address you can connect to peer to peer, what if it only accepts connections by the current active ride. So the riders wallet signs the app request to open the socket and then the two parties can start sharing their location? That way it only gets shared to the appropriate people. But if a driver wants to know where before accepting, the rider would need to publicly post the where, so maybe you only post to 2mile radius or something, and the actual address gets done peer to peer if accepted?

Edit: also the contracts are open source, it’s the front ends that would be the developers business, and technically anyone could copy the smart contracts and write their own front end to them, and if it took off, I imagine people would eventually write an open source front end as well. It’d help keep costs down as if you were too uncompetitive someone else could enter.

Edit: and if it was just an open source front end, no city would be able to stop it. It’d be forever accessible where someone could post they are available to pick up, and anyone could post they need a ride. Trust wouldn’t even need to be solved by this specifically, trust is a problem other people/business can solve and it just hooks into this.

NotMyOldRedditName , (edited )

Hahaha you’re right, it’s still not simple, it just makes the payments and connecting two people easier. The rest is still a lot of work and there are many unclear solutions to some problems.

It does remove all the need for centralized nfrastructure like AWS though which would lower costs

I think something like this though could be the solution to the gig work people getting the shaft. It’d give the power back to them.

There was a big shift after 9/11 that kept growing and amplifying

It’s easier to manipulate uneducated people into voting against their interests as well, so they want them poor and uneducated

Unless it really was suicide via blackmail/ extortion.

If you don’t kill yourself were going to kill all your family and friends.

Give him videos of the surveillance on all of them to scare him.

Still seems more likely they did kill him, but that might be a reason for no Deadman switch

I’d wanna be in witness protection and unreachable if I was whistle-blower at that level just to avoid situations like that.

Won’t Texas just go to the next step and start forcing the ISPs to ban the sites starting a never ending game of whackamole until they just outright ban all porn at the ISP level with a way to add a site super easily and on demand.

At that point it’s VPN only in which case you can access it all anyway

Edit: and of course the blanket isp ban will hit non porn things to, but that’s the cost to save the children!

NotMyOldRedditName ,

They can access a lot more information about you with a native app, and it also gives them the ability to do push notifications which makes things more sticky

NotMyOldRedditName ,

That’s the problem with media today.

I truly don’t blame you for not knowing. There were huge headlines for the initial story, and then smaller headlines on the retraction. Then even after the retraction people that KNOW it was retracted still spread it because Issacson must be lying.

Its not just Elon, this happens everywhere.

Get the big headlines, and bury the corrections or clarifications.

Granted, in this case I don’t think Issacson was malicious in his original reporting, but it really often is malicious

Just for others, they’d all burn up in the atmosphere in a few years.

So it may disrupt things temporarily but not long term.

They don’t come any shittier than that company wise.

Thanks for straightening that up, my bad.

You just know they’re gonna be using copious amounts of pit maneuvers as well during the now increased car chases.

Anything is possible, but I think this would be very unlikely.

Like on the level of I forgot to take my seat belt off and can’t figure out why I can’t get out.
