They can now capture the activity of hundreds of neurons! That’s simultaneously amazing and so, so far from being able to create the digital twin they claim.
Amazing, there are estimated 86 billion neurons in the human brain, so they are just short of 85 billion and change.
But I think there is more to it, how many are used for speech vs vision, how much is used for motor control. If the idea is to build a speech neuron activity to some sort of ml data representation it's probably way less than 85b.
1. AI regulation becomes fragmented and messy as different jurisdictions implement contradictory rules. The EU's AI Act creates a "Brussels effect" but China and the US take divergent approaches, creating headaches for global tech companies.
2. "AI-free" becomes a marketing term like "organic." Premium services start advertising human-only customer service, human-written content, and AI-free creative work. A certification industry emerges around this.
3. Climate tech sees a boom in investment as extreme weather events continue to drive home the urgency. Particular focus on grid-scale energy storage and carbon capture technologies.
4. The "nearshoring" trend accelerates, with Mexico and Eastern Europe becoming major manufacturing hubs as companies seek alternatives to China while staying relatively close to major markets.
5. The first mainstream consumer AR glasses hit the market, but like early smartphones, they're clunky and limited. The real impact is in industrial and professional applications.
6. Remote work stabilizes at a new equilibrium: most tech companies settle into a hybrid model with 2-3 office days per week. Fully remote becomes less common as companies optimize for "collaboration days."
7. The web3/crypto world pivots hard toward "real world assets" and practical financial applications, moving away from speculation. Smart contract platforms become boring but useful infrastructure.
8. A major cybersecurity crisis involving AI models leads to a fundamental rethinking of model deployment and security practices. "Model poisoning" becomes the new ransomware.
9. The shortage of high-end GPUs starts to ease as new fabs come online, but the industry faces a new bottleneck in networking equipment and specialized AI accelerators.
10. Traditional higher education faces a crisis as employers increasingly accept alternative credentials and bootcamps. Several mid-tier universities merge or shut down.

I am curious what cybertruck will charge like at existing superchargers that max out at 400V.
GM's clever solution is to present the battery pack as 2 400V packs. It does pose some very tricky pack balancing requirements though.
Other 800V cars charge quite poorly on 400V stations, usually with a hard cap at much lower than the potential max charge due to inverter limits.
E-GMP (EV6, Ioniq5) actually charges quite fast on 400V as they run it through the motor/inverter which already pumps out more than 100kW
I think no one else is doing that at the moment.
The bot is not very good, unfortunately. It's mainly useful to help understand the rules, as in your case. If you're interested in playing with an experienced player, ping me at nazar@vinnich.uk :)
> Which is the standard lenght of the turns?
The usual setup is a 10×10 grid with 3 moves per turn. More moves means more interesting manoevres are possible. I like 7 moves on 12×12.
Seems like a great opportunity to train a neural network model for bot. There is a good article on tic tac toe for a base https://nestedsoftware.com/2019/12/27/tic-tac-toe-with-a-neu...
Great, but how large and heavy is the battery? The announcement doesn't say anything about the energy density.
Exactly what I was thinking. They mention 700km as some reference point, then 400km in 10 minutes, not sure what the density is.
Hyundai/Kia launched the EV6 with 10-80% charging in 17 minutes more than two years ago.
They then launched Hyundai IONIQ 6 with 10-80% at the 16 minute mark.
I guess we will be seeing 10-80% times get close to gas pump refill times in the near future.
Sass.
According to NPM download stats, it has 6 million weekly downloads, the exact same amount as Styled Components. Emotion also has around 6 million. So that's 12 million for CSS-in-JS, as opposed to 6 million for Tailwind, so how did it win?

And this is ignoring PostCSS which has over 60M downloads weekly. But I guess you can use postcss with tailwind.
Like... It has won nothing, its in the game though.
Also, Google has a habit of hyping projects then quietly killing them (I sadly took the Polymer ride).
