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.

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.

That's OK but the only reason many people buy American cars and trucks is to support American jobs.

When it's all robots might as well get a Tundra rather than a 1500. Or maybe BYD will come in with something soon.

We'll see how that goes.

The guys who built those giant ovens could have told themselves that somebody was going to be baking a whole lot of bread ... very inefficiency.

Somebody wired up all those ICBM missile silos too. The ones who do think all of the above is just fine. There will always be someone.

Skipping the paywalled article I found these specs and was underwhelmed.

Sure it looks fine for playing mid games but my guess was something unique, unified RAM or a clever bus or something. It seems like a decently tuned Ryzen build. I do like the lower TDP on the CPU which should be doing less work.

A nice form factor for those who don't build their own.

Hopefully this is their entre into the PC world and v2 will have more innovations.

What's most cool is the generation of teenagers who will have default Arch/KDE instead of default Windows.

I see so many names in the commit logs, but some standouts include: Blum, Cook, Torvalds, Solodai, Tyragu, Stitt, Bergmann, Wysocki, Panda, de Mello, and no doubt some I missed who have a large number of commits fixing this problem.

Thank to all who undertook this Herculean chore!

The original guy got to keep using it. There was someone else hired for a brief time.

I remember the author's name but he really doesn't want to use it, so that's OK to respect. He's given me a lot to think about over the years. I remember when he wrote on his PBS site about unicast becoming cheaper than radio broadcast for TV, predicting that it would overtake by 2012 (IIRC). Youtube became huge around then. We were smart folks around the water cooler in the late 90's who could follow the math but had nagging skepticism. He wss right.

I think I have one of his science writing books under his real name about atomic energy somewhere. You can find it if necessary.

Nice to see Bob back on the Dot.

Don't you see, AI is inventing ways for humans to consume less energy so it can eat it all.

> The lender can't repossess a college degree to make themselves whole.

No but if the borrower can't get a good job there should be cause of action for Warranty Act claims against the college.

Extremely few people go to college with the expectation of borrowing to be unemployable.

Almost like he's a campaign donor! Did he fly on AF1 to China with the rest of them?

Government very rarely runs on merit. It's a terrible way to conduct anything that doesn't require killing people.
