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.
Wouldn’t it burn your eyelid too, from the inside?

Honestly while a lithium battery might worry me I’d be more worried about heat dissapation. Of course the dude says it isn’t an issue, but still. I guess it might not matter much because the battery is so small that you’d be lucky to get more than a handful of minutes running that LED at max power. This is all speculation based on a 30 second video though.

All I know is my headlamp gets mighty hot when it is running at peak intensity. Like hard to touch levels of hotness.
The repulsion hackernews crowd will face while opening TikTok.

> Does it get warm? > Brian S (Creator): Nope not at all. LED's do not emit much heat and the Titanium body of the eye offers great heat shielding from any heat emitted. [ https://www.tiktok.com/@bsmachinist/video/713267837541158430... ]
LEDs of a couple of watts do emit a noticeable amount of heat. Being titanium doesn’t mean anything - here the heat has to go somewhere eventually. Either out of the front of the eye where it’s “uninsulated” or it’ll get hot enough internally that the body will get warm.
That's a very creative way of spicing up a boring old glass eye! I imagine such "wearable" tech could also be the ultimate version of those snapchat glasses. Putting a battery inside your eye socket seems incredibly risky to me, though. Especially one that can power a bright light like this for a while...

The other problem is that this small battery won't have that much current capacity

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?

Short video is a terrible medium. I am already on the fence regarding long videos. They are a rarely paying off time investment next to reading the equivalent article. Short videos are an immediate no from me. It’s never worth the investment. Realistically if it could be written in a script fitting a TikTok video it’s not going to go deeply into anything.
Short video is a different medium. Like it or not, TikTok is encouraging creation of new culture via its particular creation tools.

Not the same thing and we don't really do that. Pacemakers are typically lithium iodide which do not have the same risk of uncontrolled burning (that's the nickel variety). But also, the pacemaker sits outside the body with probes going inside. You'd not want another surgery just to change a battery.
Pacemakers and implanted defibrillators are both, uh, implanted inside your body. Typically they stick them in the front side of your left shoulder. They run the leads into a vein (or artery) and anchor them into the wall of the heart. They can implant basically under the fat layer or under the pectoral muscle. Beneath the fat layer is easier both from a surgery and recovery standpoint, but less secure. The downside…

I just followed a link to TikTok for the first time. It’s far better than twitter, kinda like YouTube but cleaner.

This introduces an opening into the body that will almost certainly result in infection.
Probably much less risky to periodically change the battery than get the portal infected
