?[The] patient seems to have made a full recovery with no ill effects that we are aware of and is able to control the mouse, move the mouse around the screen just by thinking, Musk said in a Spaces session on social media platform X.
Neuralink is the billionaires startup, which says it has developed a brain implant designed to help humans use their neural signals to control external technologies. The company aims to restore lost capabilities such as vision, motor function and speech.
Neuralink implanted its device in a human for the first time in January. The company uses a robot to accurately implant the device in the brain.

Denmark to give Ukraine all of its artillery
Not every country is in a position to do this, but more could!
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Mette Frederiksen appealed to other European nations to do more to help Ukraine in its fight against Russian President Vladimir Putin's invading forces.
"They are asking us for ammunition now. Artillery now. From the Danish side, we decided to donate our entire artillery," she said.
"I'm sorry to say, friends, there are still ammunition in stock in Europe," she continued. "This is not only a question about production, because we have weapons, we have ammunition, we have air defense that we don't have to use ourself at the moment, that we should deliver to Ukraine."

Manny Pacquiao officially ineligible for the Olympics because he's deemed to be too old
LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- The International Olympic Committee will not change its rules to let boxing great Manny Pacquiao compete at the Paris Games aged five years beyond the entry limit.
Pacquiao, who retired in 2021, wanted to box at age 45 in the Olympic tournament in Paris, where medal bouts will be held in the Roland Garros tennis complex.
The IOC said Sunday it wrote to Olympic officials in Philippines explaining the age limit for boxers of 40 will be upheld. The IOC now oversees Olympic boxing after derecognizing the International Boxing Association governing body.
The age limit for Olympic boxing was raised to 40 from 34 in 2013 -- a move that would have let Pacquiao try to compete at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. He chose not to at the time when he was also elected to be a senator in his home country.

Can we get a do-over? 49ers players say they weren't aware of new overtime rules
Seems like a good reason to "run it back", don't you think? Rematch next Sunday!
"I guess that's not the case. I don't totally know the strategy there. We hadn't talked about it, no."
Armstead added that he first realized that the postseason overtime rules were different when he saw them displayed on the scoreboard at Allegiant Stadium.
"They put it on the scoreboard, and everyone was like 'Oh, even if you score, they get a chance still,'" Armstead said.
