I actually met this guy before, he's been making these custom eyes for as long as I can remember. He said it took him a while to get comfortable making something water-tight enough to stick it in his eye. Last I talked to him he was talking about scaling up, hope the popularity leads to good places.

#82Amusingly specific comment on that post: "A one eyed plumber working in sink cabinets would like this."

#83I talked with my social circle just the other day how our timeline is really a Cyberpunk timeline with only technology and body augments seemingly lagging behind. I am both excited and horrified, because that universe is pretty dark. I suppose I should be thanking our lucky stars we are not moving towards 40k universe.
It seems like the greatest thing lagging behind is society. What the reddit poster did was possible 20 years ago, but likely would have caused wistful maidens to faint, etc.
Yep.
I have 2 RFID implants and I don't mention it to most people because I have genuinely gotten bad reactions from even other software engineers.
It's a pretty minor 'modification' but people get really weirded out about non-medical implanted tech.

#85The repulsion hackernews crowd will face while opening TikTok.
nonsense. for those who dont care to run tiktok ive written an ephemeral microservice driven with an AWS lambda, rust enabled, react framwork that uses an intuitive haskell based dockerless rootless console interface for the API i created out of a go based esolang implementation of the Turing complete driver for TikTok included in the 7.7 Linux kernel I built a ruby on rails time machine to travel into the future and…
Wouldn't it be easier to use yottadb or some other MUMPS derivative instead zapping it onto an AS400 cloud?

I’ve recently met an acquaintance with a bionic leg again. It detects if he’s walking forward or backward, climbing stairs, walking, or running. It only needs to be charged once or twice a week and works even on unstable, muddy ground. Now granted, it’s a 6 figure device, but still, I’m really impressed whenever SotA body replacement parts come up.
It's extra fun when they detect wrong and drop you on the ground. (got one)
Sounds super fun :D How often does that happen?
But then, the first time I met him, was at Wacken 2007. The legs could do nothing but walking at a measured pace (though I thought that was still pretty impressive), and had to be recharged every evening.

You're focusing solely on the content. My abject hatred of TikTok stems from who controls it.
Weird, Bytedance has not done anything, to my knowledge, worse (or even better) than other big companies in consumer software space. Do you also not use Instagram? What about google or YouTube? They have done some pretty shady stuff. Or oculus VR? PayPal/stripe? All these companies have done extremely shady stuff, it's impossible to be at the top of any of these markets without being shady.
It's about China... Everyone that can (US, China, etc.) tries to guzzle as much data from online users as possible. That said, there are checks and balances in the US, there is a certain level of accountability. China is an absolute black box setting up an Orwellian social credit system for its own citizens, and with no accountability whatsoever about the data they might collect from foreign citizens. So, even if everyone is playing a similar game, ultimately there are differences.

I wonder what power laserpointer you could fit in there without going overboard with the battery... Imagine being able to light matches by looking at them for a bit. On the other hand, every mirror would be a great chance to lose your other eye as well, so maybe disregard my ideas.
A low-power laser pointer would still be very interesting and perfectly safe. Star Trek/X-men/Superman/Star Wars dreams of stunning enemies with a beam of light from your eyes, there's no to have power levels that can light matches, pop balloons, or otherwise cause destruction. One cool use, IMO, would be a time of flight distance-measuring laser: With only a single working eye, OP lacks binocular vision for distance…
Perhaps you could add a temperature sensor as well? Heck it might be neat to go full tricorder-in-eye...

I just followed a link to TikTok for the first time. It’s far better than twitter, kinda like YouTube but cleaner.
It actually renders most of the information you'd expect with JavaScript and Cookies disabled. Cannot say the same for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. Just can't play the vid, but I can see the thumbnail.
I just use Maki for Facebook.

Short video is a different medium. Like it or not, TikTok is encouraging creation of new culture via its particular creation tools.
While damaging peoples ability to have an attention station.
I never had one in the first place so none of it makes a difference to me.
