Elon Musk’s ‘fully autonomous’ cars will, like other robotaxi vehicles, rely on remote human pilots.
Tesla Optimus has taken a step closer to human-like dexterity, showcasing its upgraded hands with impressive capabilities. A recent video highlights the robot catching a tennis ball using its new hands, which now feature 22 degrees of freedom. By comparison, human hands have 27 degrees of freedom, making Optimus’ latest enhancements a significant stride in robotic engineering. In May 2024, Elon Musk hinted at these upgrades, and the results are now visible.
This development aligns closely with Neuralink’s recent milestone—the United States Food and Drug Administration has granted approval for the CONVOY Study. This feasibility trial aims to test the Brain-to-Computer-interface N1 Implant alongside assistive robotic arms, hinting at the possibility of collaboration between Tesla Optimus and Neuralink technologies. During a Neuralink update in July, Elon Musk mentioned the potential for Optimus’ limbs to work in sync with the N1 Implant, emphasizing a vision where human minds control robotic systems seamlessly.
Why have 700 stars vanished how is it possible?
Of all the objects in the universe, stars are amongst the most fascinating. From the birth of newborn protostars to the dramatic final stages of their lives, the life cycle of stars has captivated the human imagination for centuries. Yet one of the greatest stellar mysteries is that of vanishing stars — stars that were once visible but have suddenly disappeared. While the mysteries behind them haven’t been completely unraveled, recent advances in telescope and monitoring technology have unveiled shocking truths about this extremely rare occurrence. Join us as we explore the concept of vanishing stars and unravel the mystery behind the disappearance of 700 known stars.
When we look up at the night sky, the stars appear eternal. In a sense, that’s true, as stars can live for millions or even billions of years, which is just mind-boggling compared to our own lifespans. However, like all living things, stars are born, they live, and they eventually die. Astrophysicists have made significant progress in understanding the life cycles of stars. However, when a star suddenly disappears, it raises more questions than answers. What could have caused it to vanish? Was it a natural event or something more unusual? The discovery that as many as a hundred stars may have disappeared from our observations in recent decades is a sobering reminder that our understanding of the universe is still incomplete. The vanishing stars challenge our assumptions and force us to confront the limitations of our knowledge. Keep watching as we explore some of the most groundbreaking discoveries in our understanding of vanishing stars and provide possible explanations to the stars that has vanished from our solar system and beyond in the last few decades.

Bluesky has apparently become such a successful X-formerly-Twitter alternative that even Mark Zuckerberg is anxiously taking notice. At this rate, the social site could potentially outpace Threads — and Meta clearly isn’t happy.
“The race to replace Twitter has accelerated,” Jasmine Enberg, a principal analyst at the market research company eMarketer, told The Washington Post. “Threads has been the de facto home for many displaced [X-formerly-Twitter] users, but the surge of new users to Bluesky after the election has upped the competition.”
X-formerly-Twitter, the giant in the space, has something like 300 million active monthly users — a number that’s been plummeting ever since Elon Musk acquired the site in 2022, opening up room for a proliferation of new challengers.
Elon Musk says that Starlink’s new system enables internet connectivity for your mobile phone with ‘no extra equipment or special app’ required.
Elon Musk encourages focusing on how quickly new ideas and improvements are made, not just working fast.

The recipient of the world’s first Neuralink brain-chip transplant is able to control a computer mouse by thinking, the tech startup’s founder Elon Musk announced this week.
“Progress is good, and the patient seems to have made a full recovery, with no ill effects that we are aware of,” Reuters reported that Musk said in an X Spaces event on Monday. “Patient is able to move a mouse around the screen by just thinking.”
Musk added that Neuralink was trying to get the patient to click the mouse as much as possible, Reuters reported.
The billionaire’s brain device company is currently recruiting patients in the US, UK and Canada.
