Everything

Eh I disagree

The rate at which I speak is much slower than what I can think in words

But more over, I mostly think in multiple streams of thought and images. There's so much information that I can try to pack in at one time

Yes, the people trying to understand me would be the bottleneck... But if we're just talking creating, I can type very fast (love 120+ WPS) but my brain can still go much faster than that

Plus you'd be thinking mostly in words rather than letters. You would just say "cat" and it would know. Instead of C...A...T...

Yeah. Or me imagining a 3d printed object and CAD software creating it for me

For those of you knocking Ember, the whole point is that it keeps your preferred temperature for a certain amount of time. It’s not meant to keep it warm or hot for 8 hrs. If you want your coffee at 145 degrees Fahrenheit - it will stay that way for 2-3 hrs. Most people got it as a gift and some bought it for themselves. The majority of Ember users love it so that should say something.

Also, I happen to know that Ember customer service is fantastic. The coating on my cup started to fall apart and they sent me a new cup without hassle. They stand behind their product. Would I pay $200 for a mug just for tracking purposes? No, because I have my Ember in my home office, but some folks might find that useful.

The deck can play games natively, but if you watch the performance of when it’s streaming vs natively you will see the stress difference on the deck. Your deck is only obsolete graphics wise if you don’t have a gaming rig that can take the heavy lifting out of the graphics in the game your playing, otherwise your looking at playing aaa titles while the cpu is maxed plugged in or something differently to combat throttles in the settings menu. Where as if you streamed it you could probably keep it up without having to sit next to a wall outlet for a good 4 hours.

I have no idea what android or windows has too do with the deck being meant for native gameplay, what ever point you were trying to make either didnt articulate well, or there is a typo in there. Afaik the deck can’t run windows games, or at least games with anti cheat software like destiny 2, require windows. Same with I think the blizzard games? I actually have to check if there’s a Linux launcher for Blizz now….

a “majority” of soldiers who participated in the operational demonstration “reported at least one symptom of physical impairment to include disorientation, dizziness, eyestrain, headaches, motion sickness and nausea, neck strain and tunnel vision. —-Somehow, I’m not surprised…

Wasn’t this a black mirror episode?

sounds very much like meta gadget too

Do they literally plug the cables into his head? Hope they went with USB-C

It's new tech as it advances it will get lighter and need to be charged less often. The longer the tech coexists with other technology the more it will get integrated

HoloLens is actual AR, and Apple only ever calls ARKit-related features AR, which is true - that's mobile AR.

Apple and also the HoloLens or how it was called that was forgotten few years ago

I would love for somebody to transcribe the particular fuzzy images of people I imagine the same every time as my mental concept of actions like "driving" or "football". I'm pretty sure they're people contorted in ways that are impossible. But I can't even remember the image after it connects my thoughts, it's like a dream. Am I the only one?

There are much cheaper and smaller devices that can do that. The deck is meant to play games natively, otherwise why have the ability to run windows games on Linux? Wouldn’t they just use android and save themselves a lot of hassle?

I’m a technophile, but anyone who has gone to the field as a combat arms marine or soldier knows this would be terrible to use.

Hot, stuck to your face, and most importantly: more weight. Anything that adds to the fighting load better be absolutely perfect.

Not mention the equipment overheating, getting wet, needing to have weeks or months of battery life, etc. it just doesn’t seem expeditionary.

A lot of soldiers were flipping shit and got chaptered out recently because they were scared the vaccine would enhance their 5g capabilities since they did their facebook research. Good luck convincing them to get a chip in their head

What if I already talk quicker than I can think?

AR has insane military potential, but we aren't fully there yet, atm it should be a specialized tool, not standard issue

Yeah, he can’t even buy a functioning, successful company without screwing it up 😂

I'd have trouble murdering too if I had a porno running in the upper right corner of my view.

I remember seeing a report about a patent Apple had for lenses that are one size fit all and can be adjusted in store by an employee. If they are able to make stylish glasses that can fit any prescription, at a decent price, that are not clunky, and are functional from a technology standpoint, then AR will be their next huge money maker. The advantages, speed, and potential convenience of AR glasses can be the biggest market disruptor since the smartphone if done right. They could not just create a new market for themselves, but they could also take over the prescription glasses market. Old glasses stores would be like a Rolex store. Fine for a status symbol or some style, but not nearly as functional as the new thing.

There’s not yet a universal calibration application so each BCI system is calibrated for each patient. Furthermore, yes, sometimes recalibration is necessary if the intended outcomes are bit off from what was expected.

Probably not. Research on speed reading has mostly supported the idea that the rate at which we naturally speak is the limit to which our brains can meaningfully process information. That is, while you can train yourself to understand text and speech a bit faster than normal, “speeding” through pages of text in a second isn’t any better than untrained skimming. Getting rid of “subvocalization” (I.e that inner voice many hear when reading), as many advocates of the method propose, does nothing to change that.

In other words, with a bit of training I suspect you might be able to output text like the micro machines guy, but none of it would have any meaningful thought behind it. That is, two people would not be able to have a “sped up” conversation, nor would it let you output a book any quicker.

Right now I think the go to company is Blackrock Microsystems, I think they have the most implanted BCI systems in humans patients out of all the companies. It’s weird how neuralink gets all the sensationalism when they’re quite far behind from Blackrock and other companies.
