On Sunday, Elon Musk's neurotechnology startup Neuralink successfully implanted its device in a human for the first time. The billionaire mentioned on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday that the patient is recovering well.

The company is working on a brain implant designed to assist individuals with severe paralysis in controlling external technologies solely through neural signals. Neuralink initiated the recruitment of patients for its inaugural in-human clinical trial in the fall, following the approval granted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in May to conduct the study.

PHP is a scripting language widely used for web development, with code processed on a web server through a PHP interpreter, implemented as a module, daemon, or CGI executable. Nginx lacks the default ability to handle dynamic web pages with PHP and requires specific additional plugins for this purpose. One such plugin is FPM (FastCGI Process Manager), an alternative PHP FastCGI implementation offering additional features, particularly advantageous for high-traffic sites. FPM stands out as the preferred method for PHP page processing with Nginx, surpassing traditional CGI-based methods in terms of speed.

The Simpsons, that legendary animated series we all know and love, has become a cultural phenomenon. With its hilarious take on family life in Springfield, it's an absolute classic. We decided to have a bit of fun and recreate the show's iconic theme song using a piezo buzzer.

Buzzer is used to generate sound, beep or even melody of a song. It can be found in alarm devices, computers, timers and confirmation of user input such as a mouse click or keystroke. A piezo buzzer is not like a regular speaker that you might think of. It uses a material that actually changes shape when you apply electricity to it which in turn creates noise. The faster you bend the material, the higher the pitch of the noise that is produced.
