Lithium is only yellow??

Mark has always been icky for me. I watch these kinds of videos almost excellently - the science-tech ones; yet I avoid him like the plague.

Y u leave my boy Gharial out huh?

They are so cute too https://blog.wcs.org/photo/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Don-Boyer-10425-Gharial.jpg

What about Wind Mills?

How is that even possible good lord? 5000 pages?

Basically three things -

1. BCI - Brain Computer Interface. This can allow people with disabilities to control prosthetics using their brains. For example, this one from 20+ yrs ago. They are in clinical trial stages now - lot of data over 20yrs showing it's pretty safe. There are some differences like BrainGate uses "Utah" electrodes which sit on the brain rather than go inside the brain.

2. Medical diagnosis - Some patients (with things like epilepsy) get their brains recorded like this to find the region of the brain that is malfunctioning. Then sometimes this region is removed and believe it or not it actually helps! Edit: DBS is another option sometimes like the other commenter said but that needs "stimulation" also, not just passive recording.

3. Understanding the brain - these recording data can help make sense of the brain. We still don't understand much of how the brain works so this data can help and maybe help with treatments in the future.

For all of these currently we only have patients (because "healthy" people wouldn't want metal electrodes in their brain). But neuralink's promise is to make these electrodes so thin and dense (so that you can record more) while keeping SNR high that it might be possible to put it in healthy people without brain damage. I wouldn't hold my breath for that, though.

No way it went up 20x in 5yrs? There must be something weird with the data

What does the last sentence mean?

I thought that was weird too. But I think he added that because he was thinking about their dark black hair. It would probably have been less weird if he had said "dark haired women" instead or at least "Asian".

I think the ruling class "controls/exploits some things" and they are "in control" is the difference? Like yes they have bled us dry with their grip but as WikiLeaks, Epstein, Panama papers etc suggests, they weren't really "in control". Right now, there's a decent chance that Pakistan falls to the Taliban and their nukes will be in their hands - is actually anyone "in control" of this situation?

It'll be used for ads. Really intrusive ads... They could put it anywhere (stadiums, sight seeing places etc) since it is transparent but like once every minute, display an ad.

Oh LMAO
