@arstechnica They still haven't solved the problem with scar tissue buildup. I really don't see soft-electrodes working out without a completely different approach to neural interfaces. All these methods still don't have a long-term expectancy and it's honestly immoral to subject people to it unless absolutely necessary.

Sometime back I read about successful gene therapy for making neurons photo-receptive and interfacing that way. That seems much more humane.

@nixCraft Oh man this hits.

@feditips Thought about hosting #twitch streamer #vods #archives using #peertube to offset traffic costs but unsure how viable and cost efficient that would be.

Considering it may be very low traffic per video if the archive spans back 5 years, the benefit may only show when playing vods from recent streams.🤔

The income for most streamers is also relatively low so there's very little incentive for setting it up unless depending on charity.

@arstechnica US congress voted to limit funding to a cap of the initial budget estimates or have it canceled. Updated current estimates I've heard by project scientists is approximated to be vastly higher of the projected costs. If it had leeway like the James Webb telescope it may have been realistic but right now it's looking grim and without additional funding any sample return could be dead in the water. 😕
