Neuralink the company implanted a non-neuralink device in a volunteers brain, the breakthrough being the technology to implant the device, not the device itself.

right now it’s got as far as putting the “chips” (actually more of a web like structure) into rats and monkey, causing them a great deal of pain and distress before killing them.

It’s stated aim is to turn neural activity into computer-readable information with the hope (heavy emphasis on hope) that the information will prove useful.

It is as yet unknown if the output will a) be possible and b) mean anything if it is.

The current blockers are that neuralink can’t yet read neuron activity, and any output it can send needs to be compresed by about 200x more than is currently possible by technology.

my parents wanted three until they had my younger brother. even as a grown up that guy is a handful.

6/4 I’d call three groups of two, 6/8 two groups of three, but also context is important- a lot of modern writers tend to write in semis and demis, where even 50 years ago they would write in quavers and crotchets.

Also, some jigs and hornpipes are written in 3/2 so YMMV.

I found it genuinely very funny. Probably unintentionally, but my God some of the stuff was fucking incredible.

The bit where a guy puts out a furnace fire with his bare hands, the bit where a guy gives a homeless man a $100 instead of a single but because “charity degrades everyone” neither of them notice or care, the living inside a hologram volcano, the pages of uninterrupted monologue…

and in Bb for the fucking clarinettists of course

honestly I don’t hate it as a decision. there should be rewards for using all the mechanics well

I imagine that’s a design consideration.- same with Ultima and other big spells. You get a big payoff after a big wind-up. It’s trying to telegraph that if you want speed you should build your party differently using junctions

we just grilled our bosses because they do a quarterly presentation about how well the company is doing, and then in May and September laid off 20% then 30% of the company for “financial” reasons.

I think they think that now AI is here we can all just do the work without people? But what that means is you just get unreconstructed verbatim AI output as a service.

He thinks protestors and activists should be shot and killed by the police if they cause even minor disturbance.

A cold comfort, but in expressing his distaste for the current government he would be hoist by his own petard.

listening to the video someone else posted I would absolutely call that 6/8, especially with that strong downbeat on the 1.

I use Tasker to make groups of people who can take me off mute when calling (Partner, parents, best friend) and everything else is controlled by timed DND and mute automations (slightly different for personal and work)

bi guy married to a woman here

sometimes we appear to be adhering to these gender roles and sometimes not (i guess). In reality the alignment to the roles are irrelevant and we just live our lives.

As many people would say - for e.g. - that me being the one who cooks more in our household is inline with gender roles (more men are chefs) and some the opposite (cooking is a woman’s domain).

Both are wrong, it’s just that I like cooking and she doesn’t mind.

you fool, as n approaches infinity the mass of the toothbrushes collapses into a black hole

the lean is also a clue that he’s a beta and thus votes democrat alpha males are always completely perpendicular.

ours is 8.37 every day, and management struggles to think of things to do at it.

yeah if there’s one thing teens love it’s government approved communication channels
