They're calling it Focused Ultra Sound which means using an MRI to guide stimulation of millimeter-scale areas of the brain to disrupt electrical activity there.

So many ads and press releases on a web search but I did find this bibliography:

It's weird how these hospitals don't link papers in the news releases as is common in the West.

Curiously there was an article yesterday about Ultrasound brain imaging so it might be possible to combine the two modalities. This seems like an "obvious to a practitioner" approach though noise cancelation will be needed.

We might actually be capable of realizing that headband where you walk into Sick Bay and tell Dr. Crusher you have Holodeck addiction and she slaps it on your forehead for twenty minutes and tells you to lay down and then come back if it recurs.

If you hear "if you can't afford a Macbook Neo you're too poor to be an Apple customer," don't be surprised.

I definitely heard that related to iMessage a decade ago. The 666 304's had some thing about bubble colors.

I'm not going to run it but people have said the kernel handles realtime needs much better than 10.

I do wonder how much of the bloatware needs to be disabled to actually realize that, though.

> Emirates operates these with over 500 passengers

Well they did until the value proposition of Dubai and Abu Dhabi suddenly came into question with three days' food and no way to restock and no sewer system, relying on petroleum-powered sewage trucks to keep people alive.

It sure seems 'convenient' that they suddenly have an insurable loss on very expensive and unprofitable airframes at just the right time.

Let's see what kind of cars the regulators purchase in a few months, or maybe it's just a coincidence.

Lutnik is an Epstein Associate.

AI Surveillance Police State is his ultimate goal.

Americans are getting 'too uppity' (sovereign).

I'm familiar with the backup power design of some of the cell towers where I live.

Let's just say I'm also learning how to build solar Meshcore repeaters and placing them on appropriate hilltops where I can.

You can Royal Decree anything but don't bet your life on it.

Also nobody likes to mention that the big Spanish overvolt grid crash coincided with the arrival of a very large CME. We mustn't rile the natives.

I use left as change things quickly, break things, tear down Chesterton 's Fence, taking big chances, and right as gradually careful change, thinking about why things exist before destroying them, and be averse to risk. Trump is left of FDR in that view.

Republicans lost two presidential elections, 2008 & 2012, due to running conservative candidates. So they gave up and became a further-left party. Now Obama looks like a relative conservative .. but Clinton & Harris look conservative _too_.

Voters are insisting on left-wing presidents, with the exception of Biden because the initial leftist shock of Trump pt1 was too much to absorb.

Who made the call to fire these guys?

Were they Americans who did the firing? Were they Americans who got fired?

It's important to understand the sociology potentially putting huge American enterprises risk

And why would we believe the claim that a 1-year reliability rating had anything to do with this?

Anybody who vaguely understands automotive manufacturing knows that cars that were sold over one year ago were designed several years ago and tooling takes months to years for a new model.

This article seems designed to obfuscate rather than clarify.

This makes me feel like buying a BYD would be less risky.

But by the time you get that, she'll be over 50, and not at all as appealing.

What you don't understand is the Python is often used as a method of invoking libraries that are written in more efficient languages. And for the layer that it handles it doesn't introduce unacceptable inefficiencies. E.g., you wouldn't want to do ray tracing in Python, but it's fine for calling a library that does that.

I'm quite sure quantum computers are valid. Whether they're useful is another question. I'll agree that it's not clear that general purpose quantum computers will ever be useful. (I won't agree that it's clear they never will be useful.)

OTOH, specialized quantum computers are already useful. DWave sells one design.

There really are good use cases for fission reactors. Solar can't handle everything, even combined with wind and the grid. (But close.)

E,g,, I think that the case for fission reactors on the moon is sound, though any particular implementation may be quite questionable.

True, misinformation coming from "trusted" sources is much more damaging than some idiot with a blog posting nonsense, simply by the fact that it's framed as something trusted by so many others.

False dichotomy. Nobody here is talking about an idiot with a blog posting nonsense.

False information coming from sources that "look" trustable but are actually not are very damaging - on purpose, as that is literally the intent.

Incomplete/biased information from trustable sources that are not deliberately attempting to mislead (as in sources that adhere to the ethics of not presenting information that is factually false, even if the picture is not "complete" as you suggest) is a slight wrong, and has existed since the dawn of the printed word - it's editorial in nature - but its effects on creating social problems pales in comparison to weaponized disinformation campaigns.

Hand-wringing about the later as if it's some kind of new thing, or something most people don't know about strikes me as super naive. The insidiousness of the former is simply that people don't appreciate the scale to which it's happening.

No, but treating two wrongs as the same degree of wrongness is pretty dumb.
