partially due to impossible bandwidth and compression requirements

It still amazes me they publicly posted a request for help with these compression req which are physically impossible to achieve. Nobody with a CS degree is anybody near the leadership of neuralink. In other words, you are downplaying how impossible the requirements were.

What is the original requirement? I've never seen this and I feel a mighty sneer that I'm missing. A Fear of Sneering Out if you will.

Some 100 times+ compression, very fast and also at very low power (because it was inside the brain), and lossless.

And not stated but because it was inside the brain, I assume possible memory usage also wasn't that high etc. Sorry have no direct link to the specs.

@Soyweiser @V0ldek

The multi-electrode systems at the lab I worked in 2009 used a fiber connection to the host PC and generated terabytes of data, for just 128 or 92 electrodes (I forget) at not-all-that-many samples per second.

Sorry what is the point here? Or do you just want to share a cool story about data transfer? (I'm not trying to be snarky, I feel like im missing something here).

@Soyweiser

Just an example of the data involved in a brain-computer interface.

look, with the 200x compression,

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
