Our second product is called Blindsight and it will, as the name suggests, enable even those who are completely blind or have never seen to see. It is ready from an engineering standpoint. Just waiting on regulatory approval.
Neuralink’s first product is called Telepathy. It enables high-speed communication with computers or humans simply by thinking. Output bandwidth will vastly exceed the fastest human speech or typing in a few years. Read that sentence again.

Extremely NYC reaction: this is such a wildly off take. Stuy sent more kids to Harvard in my class than any other school… nearly 20 years ago. Dalton wasn’t even close to #2. (Trinity and Ho Mann kids IYKYK)
I do wonder if the Ivy League will become less socially and culturally prestigious as it becomes more Stuyvesant than Dalton.

Anthropic will make ~1,000 employees worth +$100m at $2 trillion market cap. There's ~11,000 Americans with $100m in investable assets. So something like 1 in 12 Americans with $100m (liquid) will be from Anthropic. If you add in Openai, maybe 1 in 7.

By popular request, we request more "Dots." Otherwise, it should be rebranded as "Dot."

FSD could literally free up OVER $1.5 trillion/yr... WHY isn't anyone talking about this?? If Lawmakers were serious about serving the people, they would start focusing on how to speed up FSD adoption. The Data: Fatal & serious crashes cost the U.S. almost $2 trillion per year in total societal harm; including ~$400 billion in direct economic costs in the form of: - medical bills - property damage - lost wages - enormous quality-of-life cost of lost years - permanent disability Tesla’s latest FSD data shows vehicles with FSD engaged are ~9× SAFER than the average driver. That means, if fully adopted, FSD could produce savings the size of any one of these: - ~6% of GDP - The entire Social Security program - Medicare AND Medicaid - Roughly 2× the defense budget At this scale, FSD (and technologies like it) could be one of the first real steps toward an age of AI "abundance" people talk about. 50 years from now, our children and grandchildren will look back in horror at the fact that we ever drove at all.

This can easily be solved with Tesla’s FSD. There is a solution.

There are certain pivotal times in history where things are described as before and after, like "before air travel/after air travel" or "before the internet" - FSD and autonomous driving will be one of those pivotal moments. the future is here. @Tesla @elonmusk

Asian = less prestigious? probably because whites still dominate in donation $. Let's see the stats if you were to remove Dalton legacy admissions.
I do wonder if the Ivy League will become less socially and culturally prestigious as it becomes more Stuyvesant than Dalton.

Numbers don't lie. Higher education admissions should be 100% meritocracy. We should be doing more to even out the playing field at younger ages.
Harvard's admissions still fail to reflect merit. They admit too few Asians and Whites and too many Blacks and Hispanics to maintain plausible deniability. They're still discriminating.

As a physician who bikes in NYC, I’m grateful for our bike lanes. But too often they’re blocked, forcing cyclists into traffic, while nearby police do nothing. @NYCMayor, can we make keeping bike lanes clear a consistent enforcement priority?

Such a promising project!
I've attempted to map everything in oncology in a public website and open source repo for all. The site is trying to get all cancers, products, technologies, bottlenecks, people, startup opportunities with 1000+ ideas for upgrading the field. If you have a loved one with cancer and you are technical or can engineer, go take a look, file improvement requests or bugs or help with the open repo and make this the best open and free info resource for individuals, researchers and educational use. This should save people time, aid AI oncology projects and generate positive action. If you are not technical just complain in this thread about broken or annoying or things you want and I'll fix them live. Some of the interesting pages: Treatments: onco.cc/drugs A gallery of the molecules being used onco.cc/molecules/ And targets: onco.cc/targets/ The technologies in oncology: onco.cc/technologies/ 1100 ideas for helping oncology: onco.cc/ideas/ Bottlenecks on oncology: onco.cc/bottlenecks/ Open questions (LETS GO RESEARCH PEOPLE) onco.cc/open-questions/ Startup requests (LETS GO STARTUP PEOPLE) onco.cc/startup-requests/ Mechanics of cancer: onco.cc/mechanics Battlefronts: onco.cc/fronts/ Isotope supply: onco.cc/isotopes Key papers: onco.cc/key-papers Pipeline funnels: onco.cc/pipeline Cancer by type: onco.cc/cancers/ Institutional rankings: onco.cc/institutions/ The startups: onco.cc/startups/ Heros and heroines : onco.cc/heroes/ Key medical people: onco.cc/people/ Here is the project roadmap: onco.cc/roadmap/ Models and data sets: onco.cc/models/ There are other views as well, take a browse. Try making a PR if you have an upgrade to this on the repo here: github.com/judegomila/OnCo If you are biologically/medically minded and something is wrong, file a bug as well or say on the thread and we will get it fixed live. If this is a useful project star the repo and help get it calibrated. I've tried to add some other languages but I cannot speak them so tell me if that doesnt work well. I believe we will crack oncology and having total information dominance is key to the problem. Let the feedback flow!

I'd love to see what korea has in mind for oncology and what technologies we can distribute. Where is the samsung of cancer?
☕️ 이건 정말 의미 있는 프로젝트라, 한국어로도 간단히 소개하고 싶습니다. @judegomila가 암 관련 자료를 `onco.cc`에 정리해두었습니다. 암종, 치료제, 타깃, 임상시험, 기술 경로, 기업, 연구기관은 물론 오랫동안 풀리지 않은 문제와 연구 공백까지 사이트 안의 관계 그래프를 따라가며 살펴볼 수 있습니다. 프로젝트는 GitHub에도 오픈소스로 공개돼 있습니다. 자료를 직접 읽을 수 있고, API·CLI·MCP를 통해 AI가 검색과 정리를 보조하도록 연결할 수도 있습니다. 의료 AI, 연구 도구, 데이터, 신약 개발을 하는 분이라면 특히 `Gaps`와 `Bottlenecks`를 한 번 봐주세요. 지금 만들고 있는 것이 누군가 놓친 한 조각을 채울 수 있을지도 모릅니다. 신뢰할 수 있는 자료 하나를 보태고, 오래된 정보를 바로잡고, 유용한 Issue 하나를 남기는 일도 암 정복을 향한 의학의 작은 전진이 될 수 있습니다. 🧬 🔗 onco.cc 🔗Github github.com/judegomila/OnCo #AI #AICaffeine #Github

A 9/11 widow just rent rogue in NYC… She read her husbands name and then called out Islamic terror and Saudi Arabia. She called out Bush, Obama, Biden and JD Vance/Trump while they sat right in front of her. The entire crowd at ground zero cheered.

Apple is drowning in vibe-coded apps and review times blew out to a month. Shipping got cheap. Judgment did not.

Cure most diseases in 5 to 10 years is a hell of a claim. I will take AI that just does not miss the anticoagulant.

Been running for a while and I still got PF syndrome. Going to explain it because half of what I see about knee pain is wrong.

You don't have to stop running. You have to stop doing the version that keeps poking it. Easy flat miles if the pain stays reasonable. Skip the speed and the hills for a bit.

What actually moves it: quads and hips, slowly. Not a brace. Not a magic shoe. If it's swollen, locking, or giving out, that's not PF. Get that looked at.
