Musk's Neuralink brain implant company cited by FDA over animal lab issues (www.reuters.com)

Musk's Neuralink brain implant company cited by FDA over animal lab issues::U.S. Food and Drug Administration inspectors found problems with record keeping and quality controls for animal experiments at Elon Musk's Neuralink, less than a month after the startup said it was cleared to test its brain implants in humans, according...

Elon better watch out! Four more of those and they might get a formal warning! A few of those in human trials and that could lead to a write up. Five of those and they'll be looking at the possibility of a flat fine of an amount limited by the state!

The article literally says they sell your data to advertising partners. You're paying a monthly subscription to give away your personal data for something as basic as a fucking printer. If HP doesn't die my hope in humanity will be gone.

Imagine your thermostat sold your data so companies could solicit you with coats to buy, or your fridge sold the data of what food you have so shitty brands can beg you to buy their low quality trash because they spent half their budget on advertising.

I'm preaching to the choir but god I hate the ever growing data broker/aggressive targeted advertising trend.

    No, pounds in the traditional usage refer to lbf, or weight.
    If you stand on a scale, it measures the force you're exerting on the scale, which is absolutely distinct from mass because the exact same scale would show a different value on Mt Everest despite you not losing any mass. Every practical use will be measuring lbf. Ie PSI, or pounds per square inch, is clearly referring to force over an area, not mass.

    1 lbm weighs 1 lbf on earth, which implies that accelerating a 1lbm object at a rate of 32.2ft/s2 requires 1lbf.

    Engineers are the few types of people that actually use lbm and slugs. Sensible ones will prefer to just use metric.

    Dagrothus ,

    The confusion stems from the fact that laymen use force and mass interchangeably as they are always on earth and changes in altitude aren't significant enough to worry about.
    Standing on a European scale and seeing a measurement in kg isn't entirely accurate- it's actually measuring Newtons and implying your mass in kg from that. Standing on an American scale, however, is literally measuring your weight in lbf. However, there is also a confusing unit called lbm or pounds mass which measures the mass of a 1lbf weight object on earth. The average person will never use lbm realistically, but this is technically the unit that converts directly to kg.

    Yes it is very pedantic to refer to a legal definition lol. Realistically, eliminating the idea of lbm entirely would make the entire conversation much more sensible.

    To be fair, most of the content is written by AI's, so it's AI training AI
