@teslacaching @mytesla_toshi free Cybertruck if you're near Kyoto Station. Also the Supercharger isn't in the list. Same with any other Japanese chargers. Two more cars can hopefully be found around Tokyo soon.

Let's try this again (1/2) ### Telepathy (00:10:25) **Objective**: Elon Musk discusses the goal of enabling high-bandwidth brain-to-brain communication. "Ultimately, Neuralink could enable a form of telepathy," Musk states, highlighting the potential for direct communication without the need for traditional language. ### Neural Dust (00:20:35) **Concept**: The team explains the idea of "neural dust," which consists of tiny, wireless sensors that can record neural activity with high precision. "These sensors are incredibly small, almost like neural 'smart dust,' allowing for detailed interaction with individual neurons," says DJ Seo, a key member of the Neuralink team. ### How Neuralink Works (00:30:15) **Electrodes**: Musk explains, "We use flexible, thread-like electrodes that are much thinner than a human hair. These are implanted into specific brain regions to capture neural signals." This design minimizes tissue damage and improves signal quality. **AI Decoding**: "The neural signals are then decoded by advanced AI algorithms," Musk continues, "translating these signals into actionable data, whether it's for controlling a computer cursor or interacting with a prosthetic limb." ### Neurosurgery (00:40:05) **Precision**: Matthew MacDougall, Neuralink's Chief Surgeon, describes the precision required in the implantation process. "Our robotic systems ensure that the electrodes are placed with sub-millimeter accuracy, avoiding critical brain structures." ### Safety and Upgrades (00:50:45) **Materials**: The team discusses the use of biocompatible materials. "We need to ensure that the materials we use for the implants do not cause any adverse reactions in the brain," says Bliss Chapman, who focuses on material science at Neuralink. **Future Enhancements**: "We are constantly researching ways to improve the durability and functionality of our implants," notes Musk, indicating that future versions will be more robust and capable. ### Digital Telepathy (01:00:25) **Latency**: Addressing latency in signal transmission is critical. "Our goal is to reduce latency to such an extent that it feels instantaneous," Musk explains, "allowing for real-time communication and control." **Applications**: Applications range from medical devices to immersive gaming experiences. "Imagine being able to communicate directly with another person or control a game with your thoughts," Musk adds. ### Webgrid and Neural Decoders (01:10:55) **Webgrid**: "The webgrid is a conceptual framework for organizing and managing the vast amounts of neural data we collect," says DJ Seo. This system helps in the efficient processing and storage of neural signals. **Neural Decoders**: "Our neural decoders translate complex neural signals into data streams that can be used by external devices," Seo elaborates, providing the interface between brain and machine. ### First Human Trials (01:20:35) **Experiences**: Noland Arbaugh, the first human participant, shares his experience. "It's fascinating to control a computer cursor with my mind. The potential applications for this technology are immense," he says. **Applications**: Initial trials focus on restoring motor functions and communication abilities in paralyzed patients. "This technology could significantly improve the quality of life for many individuals," notes Musk.

Day 2 FSD 12.5 drives. About 40 miles and 2 disengagements; one for getting into a long turn lane too late and one for attempting to get into a left turn lane rather than continuing straight through an intersection. Otherwise, stress-free, hands-free driving the rest of the time
