If Neuralink can prove its device is safe in humans, it would still potentially take more than a decade for the start-up to secure commercial use approval
given Tesla's trackrecord, paraplegics beware!
obviously other ways get less coverage because it's not as excitingly scifi as propping metal in your brain, but I think I would rather a CTRL-Labs armwrist even if it is owned by Facebook
if you're excited about this kind of stuff I would recommend reading more about OpenBCI, or y'know, anything that already has results within moving things with a thought.
I would sooner look to VR (as soon as we get commercial batteries that can keep up) to be the replacement 'second brain' for a computer if we're talking about the idea he once talked about accessing the internet from anywhere
If Neuralink can prove its device is safe in humans, it would still take several years, potentially more than a decade, for the start-up to secure commercial use clearance, experts earlier told Reuters. The company is also competing with other neurotech companies which have already implanted their devices in people.
like idk journalists should stop talking about Neuralink, all it does is risk stocks related to Musk go up, though this one is soberingly skeptical.
What is the info that cybersecurity public experts/enthusiasts want that wasn't given beyond the level of DDoS impact?
The article mostly talks about a DDoS attack, is it really that big of a deal to not cover the exactness of that?
There's definitely an argument to be made that they should've notified the public way earlier about the outages considering, as the article says, 'so much global commerce depends' on them
might not count, but I use startpage, which uses google while allegedly keeping none of the info that makes google problematic
sometimes i use duckduckgo,
in firefox you can make a shortcut to type anything in any searchbar too, like so: (in this example I'll use kbin.social search)
We type something into search to get the exact url we need, that ends up being https://kbin.social/search?q=[something]
in this case [something] is obviously what we typed, so we save a bookmark of https://kbin.social/search?q=%s where %s swaps out what we type when we call to the bookmark
Then we give the bookmark a keyword that makes it easy to type, it can be anything but I'll just use kb
now whenever i type 'kb somethingsomething' it will search somethingsomething on kbin.social
The thing about an old president is that even if he grows senile, there's the entire rest of their administration that generally have the same goals in mind as them.
idk who rumor mk Ronnie is, but presidents assign who is on their team, most presidents assign people who are educated on what they're assigned to, and most presidents receive advice from those people on their topics of expertise in the first place.

The name HD 189733 b is derived from the naming convention used for astronomical objects. Let's break it down:
HD: HD stands for Henry Draper Catalogue, which is a stellar catalog containing information about thousands of stars. It was compiled by Annie Jump Cannon and her colleagues in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The number represents the specific star in the Henry Draper Catalogue. In this case, HD 189733 refers to the star around which the exoplanet was discovered. The number of the star has no meaning outside of that it was the 189733rd catalogued one in HD's catalogue
The letter "b" is used to designate the first known planet orbiting the star. (a is for stars) If additional planets were discovered in the same system, they would be labeled with subsequent letters in alphabetical order (e.g., HD 189733 c, HD 189733 d, and so on).
Therefore, HD 189733 b signifies the first planet discovered orbiting the star HD 189733. This naming convention allows astronomers and researchers to identify and differentiate between different planets and their host stars in a systematic manner.
TOI 849 b is TESS Object of Interest's 849th discovery of interest. The numbers are essentially arbitrary outside of that numbers before them have already been taken.
I think even if the numbers are arbitrary, it's easier to figure out which star you're talking about if you're talking about numbers instead of an actual keyboard-mash, if you can't gather where-ish it's placed on the map it's at the very least easier to Ctrl+F
I fucked up a little so I understand the confusion, stars are typically in capital letters, A, B, C.
though clear distinctions are also made here. B, C, D implies a hierarchy of orbits, A is the primary gravitational pull in its system
Aa, Ab, (etc.) is used when two (or more) stars have a common center of mass
Real implications of this example:
Kepler-16A and Kepler-16B have a planet that orbits both (but to be clear they do not having a common center of mass), so it is Kepler-16b, and I didn't look it up but I assume it's not 16ABb because there aren't any A or B planets to differentiate it with
Polaris Aa and Ab are orbiting around a common center of mass, and Polaris B orbits them from further away
Castor has 6 stars, here's an image
Aa and Ab are still the main center of mass in this system
as an added bonus, black holes do not have a naming convention yet, Sagittarius A* is just in the Sagittarius A region and * is to indicate an exciting or interesting object
and to my knowledge, it is theoretically possible for a planet to orbit an Aa star without orbiting an Ab star but I don't think we know of any, I assume it would be named like Aa b
I thought this was just going to be 'The Enshiftification of TikTok' again but it became so much more (and as an added bonus was made 1 month before that article.)
fuck all these people
Merry Christmas sensei!!
