Reddit slowly became a vast receptacle of human knowledge from every imagination hobby or interest, rivalling wikipedia in it’s usefulness. Think of how many times you’ve used reddit to look for answers to a question or for item reviews. The content is valuable, it’s sad to see it used for this inevitable garbage

171·5 months agoThere was some magic internet data thing where third party apps (like various reddit apps not owned by reddit) access and use reddit to power their apps, free of charge. That’s API. Pretty much all voluntary reddit mods use third party apps to mod. Reddit started charging for the API, making third party apps useless, forcing everyone into the Official Reddit App. A lot of people boycotted or quit.

“free speech” is a thought-terminating cliche for people too lazy to come up with a real argument or plan to stop fascist rhetoric.
I heard some libs doing a sinophobia at all the DISGUSTING CHINESE CARP ruining the great lakes, as if Xi himself trained a flotilla of carp to destroy lake michigan

This is also how I am with customer rewards points.

Tldr, it’s clickbait, probably written by ai. The chip lost some connections and musklink claims they’ve fixed it. The human guinea pig seems ok.

NEWSLINE PAPER,- The first Neuralink brain implant in the human headly did not work smoothly, in which damage occurred to parts of the implant’s ulto-thin electrode system.
The brain chip called “telepathy” implanted in the head of a 29-year-old man named Noland Arbaugh through surgery in early 2024 suffered damage. Damage occurred to part of the chip system.
This brain chip was created by Elon Musk’s biotechnology company, Neuralink, with the aim of creating a brain-computer interface that allows humans to control a device with only a mind.
The implant consists of over 1,000 electrodes that are combined into 64 super-small, thinner-sized “strands” of human hair designed to channel signals from neurons. These flexible strands are mounted through robotic surgery into the motor cortex of the brain, the brain area involved in movement. This is the part that’s in trouble.
“In the weeks following surgery, a number of strands were pulled from the brain, resulting in a decrease in the number of effective electrodes,” Neuralink said in a blog post.
As a result, the task of controlling the computer’s cursor with the mind is experiencing little trouble, especially in terms of speed and accuracy measured in bits per second. (BPS).
Although the Wall Street Journal that Neuralink is considering removing the implant, the fact is that the company now claims to have addressed the problem by making changes to the algorithms involved in recording the nerve signals, and how these signals are then translated into cursor movements.
According to Neuralink, these changes have successfully fixed the BPS so that Noland can control the device even better than when the implants were first installed.
As for the brain chip capabilities, they were first shown to the public in early March 2024 through a video upload on the social media X. The video uploaded to the Neuralink account shows how Noland, who is paralyzed from shoulder to shoulde, is able to control a computer cursor to play chess.
“I love playing chess, so this is one of the things that allows me to do it. I haven’t been able to yield much fruit in the last few years, much less like this—chess game,” said Noland. “I have to use my mouth—to control the rank—but now everything is done with my brain.”
