In the coming years, @Neuralink will enable people to walk and use their hands again
Neuralink gave Noland Arbaugh something to wake up for.
“I didn’t have anything to wake up for in the morning, and this has changed that for me.”
@elonmusk says he’s fairly confident Neuralink could restore full-body functionality at some point in the future—not a capability achieved today.

🧵 Farming robots are no longer experimental.
They're deployed, profitable, and reshaping agriculture.
In orchards, vineyards, vegetable fields, and beyond, they're tackling labor shortages, precision spraying, and chemical reduction at scale.
This is how robotics is becoming the backbone of next-gen agriculture.

“Make it in Africa,” they say. Then they tax the equipment and materials you need to make it.
African manufacturers often need things from abroad, whether that is machinery or packaging. Making those imports more expensive raises the cost of the finished product, including products we want to sell overseas.
If the goal is more African factories, making it harder for those factories to get what they need is a strange way to go about it.

Can your body fully recover from alcohol? From your brain health to type 2 diabetes, we look at the damage that can be undone – and the point of no return.

Some alcohol harms reverse with reduced or stopped drinking. Brain tissue shrinkage can partly recover in weeks to months. Fatty liver and inflammation often improve in weeks. Blood pressure, heart rhythm issues and insulin sensitivity typically get better within months. Established type 2 diabetes and DNA damage linked to cancer usually do not fully reverse; advanced cirrhosis is often permanent. Less alcohol is better overall.

Why are we still dragging 100-pound trash bins through freezing rain, snow and 6 AM dark like it's the 19th century?
Meet Curbie, an autonomous robot built by Revere Robotics that is finally killing off this miserable weekly chore. It automatically hauls your waste bin to the curb on collection day and brings it right back, completely unsupervised.
The genius is that it works with what you already have. Instead of forcing you to buy expensive proprietary gear, it couples directly onto the existing steel axle of your current municipal bin.
Packed with high-torque brushless motors and heavy-duty winter autonomy, it is specifically engineered to muscle heavy loads through deep snowdrifts and icy public sidewalks.

We live in a society where 20 yr olds can rent Lamborghinis, drive them at 140mph, kill their friend, try every trick in the drivers’ book to evade justice and clutch our pearls continuously about some people riding a 15kg bike at 5mph through red lights

Our legal system tolerates too many drivers with convictions, points & with this one an “appalling record” of dangerous driving. Yet ‘we’ let him drive with the rest of us on our roads.
