Elon Musk said on Wednesday he expects a wireless brain chip developed by his company Neuralink to begin human clinical trials in six months, after the company missed earlier timelines set by him. Him first?

On one side I read too much sci-fi to not be scared shitless of this, on the other I read too much sci-fi to not be elated for this.
But it's Elon speaking so it's 99% forecast of being bovine manure fueled by eating the fun kind of grass.

“Pretty much every single monkey that had had implants put in their head suffered from pretty debilitating health effects,” said the PCRM’s research advocacy director Jeremy Beckham. “They were, frankly, maiming and killing the animals.”
Yeah, I think I'll pass.

Why do we even give any press attention to when Elon expects anything to be ready? This is likely going to be another "We'll have full self-driving by the end of the current year of 2017", then 2018, then 2019, then 2020, then 2021, then 2022, all over again. Still waiting on my cyber truck delivery from 3 years ago. Yawn.
Probably running out of money and needs some additional funding, so it's time to make another fraudulent promise.

Got to hand it to him, though. It's no small feat to replace NASA in the rocket building and launching business.
And he may have been off with his predictions in the past, but only in terms of when, exactly, not if.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

The unprecedented experiment explores the possibility that space-time somehow emerges from quantum information, even as the work’s interpretation remains disputed. Not sure if I should make a Deep Space Nine reference, or StarGate?
Or just: "Two unlikely objects, finally together in one headline!"

A user interface should be clear, attractive, and inherently intuitive. Many, unfortunately, are none of these things. Black on black is never a good colour scheme?
|
|
|
|
|
The Developer's idea of a 'clear, intuitive' UI frequently differs significantly from that of the problem domain expert. Too often, the domain expert is forced to give in to the Developer.
|
|
|
|
|
And that's how we end up with such lovely UI.

Disk I/O may have been slow 10 or 20 years ago, but in 2022, reading a file sequentially from disk is very fast. The program will always find a new bottleneck
|
|
|
|
|
The ideal program system has bottlenecks all over! If all your resources are 100% utilized, you have no reason to complain!
|
|
|
|
|
Mr. Hoyt found the special case of a single process reading a single file at a time. Random access IO is still slower and network IO is even slower than this. Also, as soon as you start running IO in parallel it becomes a bottleneck again. This is why when I write programs that need to do a lot of parallel IO I throttle the number of IOs being requested at a time as this will result in faster overall throughput.
