> The first Neuralink implant in a human malfunctioned after several threads recording neural activity retracted from the brain, the Elon Musk-owned startup revealed Wednesday. > > The threads retracted in the weeks following the surgery in late January that placed the Neuralink hardware in 29-year-old Noland Arbaugh’s brain, the company said in a blog post. > > This reduced the number of effective electrodes and the ability of Arbaugh, a quadriplegic, to control a computer cursor with his brain. > > “In response to this change, we modified the recording algorithm to be more sensitive to neural population signals, improved the techniques to translate these signals into cursor movements, and enhanced the user interface,” Neuralink said in the blog post. > > The company said the adjustments resulted in a “rapid and sustained improvement” in bits-per-second, a measure of speed and accuracy of cursor control, surpassing Arbaugh’s initial performance. > > While the problem doesn’t appear to pose a risk to Arbaugh’s safety, Neuralink reportedly floated the idea of removing his implant, according to The Wall Street Journal. > > The company has also told the Food and Drug Administration that it believes it has a solution for the issue that occurred with Arbaugh’s implant, the Journal reported. > > The implant was placed just more than 100 days ago. In the blog post, the company touted Arbaugh’s ability to play online computer games, browse the internet, livestream and use other applications “all by controlling a cursor with his mind.”

Definitely the same room. I think the administrative task of breaking down a room for different purposes is just not worth showing.
Forget the Force and lightsabers – give me more Andor, Imperial security intrigue, and political/spy machinations.
- Star Wars Disney Plus shows should move away from Jedi-centric stories and explore other aspects of the Star Wars universe

- Suggestions for new Star Wars show ideas include Pod Racing, Jawa Storage Wars, and One Man and His Droid, among others
Like how unique means "one-of-a-kind", so something is either unique or not. 😉
Like very unique. 😅
Rabbit recently said their AI service can only be accessed on the R1 with its “very bespoke AOSP” firmware, but that isn’t true.

- Rabbit R1 launcher app can run on existing Android phones, not needing system-level permissions for core functionality.
- Rabbit R1 firmware analysis shows minimal modifications to standard AOSP, contradicting claims of custom hardware necessity by Rabbit.
YouTube already has ToS on their API and has paid tiers. But a lot (most?) of the third-party apps and tools bypass the API and directly scrape the site.
YouTube's cat-and-mouse game against third-party apps only ensures more people will dislike the company
It sounds like the company is now blocking access from "bootleg" APKs.
- Rabbit R1 AI box is actually an Android app in a limited $200 box, running on AOSP without Google Play.
- Rabbit Inc. is unhappy about details of its tech stack being public, threatening action against unauthorized emulators.
- AOSP is a logical choice for mobile hardware as it provides essential functionalities without the need for Google Play.

My Gmail just turned 20 years old, AITA for kicking it out and moving in with Proton Mail?
Just a reminder that there are tons more options like this (and this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to movie piracy).
I've been really impressed by Dart as a programming language. I'll admit I don't have a breadth of knowledge, but coming from C# I feel right at home, and it has a few extra neat tricks that C# is picking up in return (like empty list syntax and the spread operator).

This is not a very helpful article summary.
Sorry it wasn't meant to be. I just thought it was funny that they're taking advantage of VideoLAN's library (which is presumably open source) rather than their own.

Notice Linus doesn't use tabs; he just thinks the parser shouldn't die when it sees them.
I think most comments are missing the fact that you were using someone else's Emby server and might not want to set up your own.
If that's the case, you could look into a movie-web instance like https://sudo-flix.lol/. Check out the list of instances.
If you really want to be overwhelmed with options, take a look at the FMHY page.
That is the pre-forked version, which doesn't have nearly as much support as Magnolia's version.
The pre-forked version's code is still on GitHub, but the last commit was 6 months ago.

Here's a bit of history of the forks (unfortunately the conversation was on GitLab, so this is an archive).

Hello from programming.dev!
You can try PopUpOFF. It's not perfect and can be over-aggressive at hiding legitimate popups but it's worth a try.
