Investigating the man on the left and not the one on the right? My goodness, at least pretend to be people of integrity.

Hi everyone! Sorry for the late update. I’ll try to get back to Sundays. TL;DR: !!!!! This was truly a week for the books. I can’t remember the last time I put in a solid 8 hour work day and last week I put in 3 in a row. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life so far. I spent Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday working with the Assistive Robotic Arm (ARA) team operating the ARA with my BCI. It was a week of (second) firsts and I’m still trying to wrap my head around it all. I put on my own hat for the first time in years! I microwaved my own chicken nuggets and fed myself! I learned how to open my fridge and how to remove and replace lids on jars! I even got to try driving my wheelchair with it slowly inside. I did really well! I also hold the new records (for now) for the most cylinders moved across the table in 5 minutes (39) and the most pegs flipped in a standard dexterity test (usually used for stroke patients) in 5 minutes (5) and I pulled off a ridiculous trick shot (video coming Wednesday) on the dex test that was easily one of the top 5 things I did with the ARA. So much fun! So much learning! So much progress! This project is incredible and I’m so grateful to be a part of it. Shoutouts to @Neuralink and @BuonicontiFund for making this all possible. I’ve also been spending some time working on my crypto coin project. It really wasn’t supposed to become a project but it’s been kind of cool learning about something completely new to me. Huge thanks to my core team @Vanguard0x @SqyH100 @CoinWisdom1Hub for all their help and support. I really think this project has the potential to be something truly unique in the crypto space which, historically, doesn’t seem to lend itself to projects that are more about substance than hype. I’m excited to see where it goes! Life with my BCI has been and continues to be so surreal and so rewarding. Can’t wait to see what comes next! 😎 Be good, do good.

Project Hail Mary by @andyweirauthor was really good. Definitely get the audio book version, though. Trust me.

@DBurkland @Tesla_AI @Tesla @elonmusk I've now had 2 friends get into the driver's seat and use FSD with no prior experience with it, even from the passenger seat. They were, of course, nervous as heck, but I'm now confident that it won't embarrass me.

FSD (Supervised) on my 2020 Model Y (HW3) has gotten good enough at driving that I'm now letting friends and neighbors experience it for the first time from the *driver's seat* rather than just as a passenger. They are absolutely blown away and had no idea! @Tesla @wholemars

Elon Musk explains exactly how Space X's Mechazilla can catch the Super Heavy booster. On Sunday morning, Space X successfully caught a 20+ story tall rocket booster. "This is a custom-built tower with arms that are designed to catch the largest flying and heaviest flying object ever made and pluck it outta the air." "It'll weigh about 250 tons. We'll make that lighter over time." "So you got a couple hundred tons plummeting at more than half the speed of sound. So this thing is still coming in really fast." "When the engines land... it's gonna drop the velocity to basically zero and come in between the arms." "The arms will be wide, and as it's coming in, the arms will, will close, go flush against the side of the vehicle, and the vehicle will be descending through the arms." "The probability is uncertain, but it is above zero." Insane.

This cannot be emphasized enough. In these situations, I’m confident and empowered by @Tesla and the Supercharger network. Mew and I can put in some seriously important work thanks to this @elonmusk @GovRonDeSantis Next Stop: Coastal Tampa @Uber @FLSERT
