Her initial workup revealed enlarged mediastinal nodes, bilateral ground glass interstitial opacities with areas of septal thickening, an incidental 4-cm left lower lobe nodular mass, multiple hypermetabolic lesions in the liver (the largest was 2.8 cm with a standard uptake value of 43), and osseous metastatic disease.

Ultrasound-guided biopsy showed poorly differentiated metastatic lung adenocarcinoma (stage 4) with 5% tumor cells expressing PD-L1 and negative for EGFR/ALK gene alterations.

AI start-ups generate money faster than past hyped tech companies

Posted by in categories: business, economics, robotics/AI

Artificial intelligence start-ups are making revenues more quickly than previous waves of software companies, according to new data that suggests that the transformative technology is also generating strong businesses at an unprecedented rate.

According to an analysis of payments information from fintech group Stripe, top AI groups are reaching millions of dollars in sales within a year — far faster in a start-up’s life cycle than comparable non-AI tech groups.

The findings come as investors raise questions about the economic benefits of generative AI and likely returns on Big Tech’s projected trillion-dollar investment in computing infrastructure to support the technology over the coming year.

Neutrino Physics

Posted by in category: particle physics

Neutrinos fill the whole universe, with about 10 million of them per cubic foot, and most of them zip straight through Earth, and through particle detectors, without leaving a trace. Because they almost never interact with matter, only massive and sophisticated experiments can catch and measure the properties of neutrinos.

The subatomic particles called neutrinos are among the most elusive in the particle kingdom. Scientists have built detectors underground, underwater, and at the South Pole to measure these ghostly particles that come from the sun, from supernovae and from many other celestial objects.

Earth will have a temporary ‘mini moon’ for two months

Posted by in category: space

WASHINGTON (AP) — Earth’s moon will soon have some company — a “mini moon.”

The mini moon is actually an asteroid about the size of a school bus at 33 feet (10 meters). When it whizzes by Earth on Sunday, it will be temporarily trapped by our planet’s gravity and orbit the globe — but only for about two months.

The space rock — 2024 PT5 — was first spotted in August by astronomers at Complutense University of Madrid using a powerful telescope located in Sutherland, South Africa.
