ALS has gradually taken away Kenneth’s ability to speak. Through Neuralink’s VOICE clinical trial, he’s exploring how a brain-computer interface designed to translate thought to speech could help restore autonomy in his daily life.

The new Qwen 3.5 by @Alibaba_Qwen running on-device on iPhone 17 Pro.
Qwen 3.5 beats models 4 times its size, has strong visual understanding, and can toggle reasoning on or off.
The 2B 6-bit model here is running with MLX optimized for Apple Silicon.
Methodology for the curious:
~116,000 words dictated
~155 WPM speaking
~50 WPM typing
Based on conservative assumptions, that’s ~24–26 hours saved.
Rough math. Directionally obvious.
Imagine if 25% of Americans loved Coke, 25% loved Pepsi, and 50% preferred Red Bull but couldn’t find it because Coke and Pepsi colluded to own the supermarkets?
@DaveShapi The StayFree app allows you to block Shorts, Reels and a bunch of other in-app features while still retaining core functionality of the app. I'm using it on Android. Downloaded it 2 weeks ago and my screen time is down like 75% per day. https://t.co/9aYPlwtXBc
When you flip this radar footage around (upside down) it tells a slightly clearer story. Helicopter has been told to pass behind and he’s trying to maintain visual separation. Seems the helicopter pilot is a little unclear of the trajectory the jet is about to take.
The airport is on the right of the helicopter, but I’m not sure he understood where the plane was going, just that he was supposed to maintain separation from it. The approach lights are in the helicopters eyes coming from ahead and on the left, not moving left to right like it appears from the other video.
Helicopter pilot rolls very slightly to the right and the plane is coming up on what will appear to be his left.
The plane in the opposite direction begins to bank slightly to the left to line up with the runway, creating an interception path with a helicopter.
From the helicopter pilots vantage point this would probably appear a very subtle shift. Helicopter pilot edges just a little bit right to continue and maintain separation.
Jet continues its slow left turning alignment with the runway and they converge. Helicopter pilot edging right and traffic coming opposite direction slowly edging left. While you can clearly see the approach lights and the navigation lights and the strobes, because it’s coming out of from the opposite direction in a slight left turn he can’t judge it properly.
It’s often more difficult to judge speed of opposite traffic moving toward you at night as opposed to judging speed of traffic moving left to ride or right to left.
The pilot of the jet slowing down and pitching up, as it’s on a descending glidepath, has a much shallower or narrower or field of view out their cockpit windows. At this point the separation is in the hands of the helicopter pilot, but his perspective is skewed from a jet coming opposite direction in a slight left bank and descending.
I think part of this is busy airspace, and unfortunately an air traffic controller who didn’t clearly set the expectation for the helicopter pilot.
If the air traffic controller had said- traffic ahead is descending and turning to intercept the airport to land, suggest 20° left turn, maintain visual separation, things would’ve been different.
There may have been a clear communication, but I have yet to hear that from the ATC playback yet. Anyone else?
@BuzzPatterson thoughts?

A few thoughts on the exclusivity of T-Mobile versus others:
- The delivery infrastructure is truly greenfield, meaning any existing challenges or consideration with the T-Mobile network are probably out the window.
- I assume there are limitations with the frequency bands and subsequent licensure that can strain which carriers can presently participate?.
Personally, lifelong Verizon user. This is the moment I see myself converting.
Not an expert, somebody correct me. Just my POV.
@operationdanish@chamath Would love to see these two charts overlayed. Visually, seems like there may be some strong correlation. Is obesity generally a strong predictor of cancer?
