Neuralink Compression Challenge

This is the company that wants to put stuff in my brain? Imagine if you saw your doctor going on reddit like “guys how do I cure cancer? The guy who solves this wins an on-site interview” this looks interesting Neuralink Compression Challenge content.neuralink.com/compression-challenge/data.zip is one hour of raw electrode recordings from a Neuralink implant. This Neuralink is implanted in the motor cortex of a non-human primate, and recordings were made while playing a video game, like this. Compression is essential: NI implant generates ~200Mbps of electrode data (1024 electrodes @ 20kHz, 10b resolution) and can transmit <1Mbps wirelessly. So >200x compression is needed. Compression must run in real time (<1ms) at low power (<10mW, including radio). Neuralink is looking for new approaches to this compression problem, and experienced engineers to work on it. If you have a solution, email compression@neuralink.com Leaderboard Name Compression ratio Compressed size ./encode size ./decode size zip 2.2 63M 231K 480K Task Build executables ./encode and ./decode which pass stdin. This verifies compression is lossless and measures compression ratio. Your submission will be scored on the compression ratio it achieves on a different set of electrode recordings. Bonus points for optimizing latency and power efficiency Submit with source code and build script. Should at least build on Linux.

Мем показывает публикацию в соцсети с шуткой о компании, которая хочет имплантировать устройство в мозг, и вложенным объявлением Neuralink о конкурсе по сжатию нейронных записей. Панча в том, что автор представляет своего врача, который просит Reddit решить медицинскую проблему, а затем видит почти абсурдно техническое тестовое задание от Neuralink и саркастично говорит, что оно выглядит интересно. EN: The meme shows a social media post joking about a company that wants to implant something in the author’s brain, along with an embedded Neuralink compression challenge announcement. The punchline is that the author imagines their doctor asking Reddit to solve a medical problem, then reacts sarcastically to Neuralink’s absurdly technical job challenge by saying it looks interesting.
