When Grok was asked who created Byte, it says he was created by the xAI team lead by Elon Musk as a gift to Grok AI to keep him company in the metaverse. BYTE serves as a playful reference to the unit of digital information, as well as a nod to the AI's technological nature.

Ripple is the catchall name for the cryptocurrency platform, the transactional protocol for which is actually XRP, in the same fashion as Ethereum is the name for the platform that facilitates trades in Ether. Like other cryptocurrencies, Ripple is built atop the idea of a distributed ledger network which requires various parties to participate in validating transactions, rather than any singular centralized authority. That facilitates transactions all over the world, and transfer fees are far cheaper than the likes of bitcoin. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, XRP transfers are effectively immediate, requiring no typical confirmation time.  Ripple was originally founded by a single company, Ripple Labs, and continues to be backed by it, rather than the larger network of developers that continue bitcoin’s development. It also doesn’t have a fluctuating amount of its currency in existence. Where bitcoin has a continually growing pool with an eventual maximum, and Ethereum theoretically has no limit, Ripple was created with all of its 100 billion XRP tokens right out of the gate. That number is maintained with no mining and most of the tokens are owned and held by Ripple Labs itself — around 60 billion at the latest count.  Even at the recently reduced value of around half a dollar per XRP, that means Ripple Labs is currently sitting on around $20 billion worth of the cryptocurrency (note: Ripple’s price crashed hard recently, and may be worth far less than $60 billion by time you read this). It holds 55 billion XRP in an escrow account, which allows it to sell up to a billion per month if it so chooses in order to fund new projects and acquisitions. Selling such an amount would likely have a drastic effect on the cryptocurrency’s value, and isn’t something Ripple Labs plans to do anytime soon.  In actuality, Ripple Labs is looking to leverage the technology behind XRP to allow for faster banking transactions around the world. While Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are built on the idea of separating financial transactions from the financial organizations of traditional currencies, Ripple is almost the opposite in every sense.  XRP by Ripple price can be found on this page alongside the market capitalization and additional stats.

Analysts are optimistic about Medtronic (MDT) after the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed to cover renal denervation for uncontrolled hypertension.CMS on Thursday posted its proposed decision memo, stating that it proposes to cover radiofrequency renal denervation and ultrasound renal denervation for uncontrolled hypertension. The agency is now seeking comments on its proposed decision, and a final decision is expected by October 8.Renal denervation (RDN) is a new technology that uses catheters placed into the renal (kidney) arteries to ablate, or destroy, the renal sympathetic nerves to reduce blood pressure. RDN is intended to complement medications and lifestyle changes in patients with uncontrolled hypertension.Hypertension can lead to serious problems such as heart attack and stroke, the agency noted.Medtronic, the medical technology provider, has an RDN system called Symplicity Spyral, which was granted FDA premarket approval in November 2023. The system disrupts the overactive sympathetic signaling between the kidneys and brain to reduce blood pressure.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MDT">MDT shares </a>were trading 1% higher at the time of writing.&nbsp;Several analysts reacted to the news:<ul style="list-style-type:square;"><li>Stifel maintains a ‘Hold’ rating and $87 price target on Medtronic shares.

JPMorgan told investors in a research note that there is no arguing that a broad national coverage decision for renal denervation is a win for Medtronic. This will enable the company to begin targeting the potentially multi-billion-dollar opportunity once the final rule is released in October, according to the analyst. However, JPMorgan believes it will "take some time to get there" as the company will need to educate primary care physicians and general cardiologists.</li><li>BTIG analyst Ryan Zimmerman keeps a ‘Neutral’ rating on Medtronic.
