This doesn’t use a “shower cap” though.

I suppose the first step would be looking into what the regulations are for this sort of thing, and whether you think they are sufficient.

Fairly boring argument. My guess is it's true.

So then why would you trust the company? Wouldn't he direct them to do the same?

I am talking about a different metric.

Rather than hoping it gets shut down because of your fears, why not just take the approach of ensuring the FDA closely regulates the safety and efficacy of the technology. They do clinical trials and study these things to address concerns l

Here is the brochure for the clinical trial that this is likely from: https://neuralink.com/pdfs/PRIME-Study-Brochure.pdf

Why would a spokesperson from the company saying it to a news network be any more reliable than the CEO of the company saying it publicly?

It's worth thinking about just how much could be accomplished with a device like this even with the theoretical minimum bandwidth. Just one input and output signal, like morse code. If your brain could reliably send and receive text th

My guess is just a computer cursor. But I suppose it's possible to enable other stuff once they can iterate on it with an actual person. Update: Yes, sounds like it. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1752119

I am disagreeing with you about whether that is an important metric.
853.
by wilg 3y ago
I am aware of that, but the metric I have been talking about this the entire time is neither of those.

What if it's a situation where all the music streaming services pay 70% and Spotify has the most streams and therefore the highest total dollar amount, but the lowest per-stream payment. It would be highly arguable whether Spotify is b

Well sure, but they could be wrong.

I mean if it's a race they've lost.

Technically the battery gets a teeny bit lighter because of E=mc².

True, but percentage terms would also be interesting. If they all pay around 60-70% of their revenue to rights-holders, which seems like the case, the question of which of these services pays best or is most ethical or whatever becomes more

Spotify gives 70% to rightsholders, yes?

Could have to do with how Apple announced its compliance plans yesterday and that's what everybody is talking about.

This isn't an issue worth fixing because basically nobody else is worried about signing up for an Apple ID if they want to update their business information with Apple. If that's the blocker, you'll just have to rely on Apple

yes there's a login involved

I doubt that. More likely people are just motivated to interpret it negatively because it supports their point if they do.

It doesn't mean nothing. It just doesn't mean being punished. You can look it up if you are interested.

"Accountable" doesn't mean you have to be punished.

Who was that? Can't find anything about it.

People should really look more at hacking capitalism to do big exciting things, like SpaceX, IMO.

Would be interesting to see a LEGO set that demonstrates a system the author thinks is better!

Tom Scott recently did a video about how linguistic relativity (Sapir-Whorf) is almost certainly not true: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmZdGo6b5yA It's an alluring idea, but it's been debunked.
