NASA Reveals Prototype Spacesuit The First Woman On The Moon Will Wear https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/03/nasa-reveals-prototype-spacesuit-the-first-woman-on-the-moon-will-wear Thu, 16 Mar 2023 07:26:12 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/03/nasa-reveals-prototype-spacesuit-the-first-woman-on-the-moon-will-wear

In the first public event presenting the Artemis III Lunar Space Suit, NASA revealed the prototype that will be worn by the first woman and person of color to go to the Moon. Made by Axiom Space, the next-gen spacesuit will eventually be white, but is currently on display with a black cover while they finalize the top layer’s final design.

The Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit, or AxEMU (fingers crossed this is the brief for the mission’s zero-gravity indicator plushie), got a grand reveal at Space Center Houston’s Moon 2 Mars Festival. As a prototype, it’ll join a fleet of training suits sent to NASA later this year so that astronauts can begin preparing for the next crewed lunar landing, Artemis III, set to take place in 2025.

“When that first woman steps down on the surface of the Moon on Artemis III, she’s going to be wearing an Axiom Spacesuit,” said associate administrator for NASA Bob Cabana at the reveal. “We’re going back to the Moon but we’re going to the South Pole this time. Why are we going there? It’s challenging. ”.

OpenAI Releases ChatGPT-4 And Performs Impressive Demonstration https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/03/openai-releases-chatgpt-4-and-performs-impressive-demonstration Wed, 15 Mar 2023 23:28:04 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/03/openai-releases-chatgpt-4-and-performs-impressive-demonstration

OpenAI has released a new version of ChatGPT, claiming that the new language learning model is capable of passing – and even excelling in – a variety of academic exams.

ChatGPT-4, which will be available on Bing as well as the OpenAI website, is more reliable and more creative than its predecessor, according to OpenAI. The team tested the model on a number of exams designed for humans, from the bar exam to biology, using publicly available papers. While no additional training was given to the model ahead of the tests, it was able to perform well on most subjects, performing in the estimated 90th percentile for the bar exam and the 86th-100th in art history.

Just as the previous model was accused of being bad at math, this version struggled more with calculus, scoring in the 43rd-59th percentile.

Ex-OpenAI employees launch new AI chatbot Claude to compete with ChatGPT https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/03/ex-openai-employees-launch-new-ai-chatbot-claude-to-compete-with-chatgpt Wed, 15 Mar 2023 15:25:37 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/03/ex-openai-employees-launch-new-ai-chatbot-claude-to-compete-with-chatgpt

By Ankita Chakravarti: ChatGPT, which is the fastest growing app in the world, has competition now. After Microsoft’ Bing and Google’s Bard AI, Anthropic, which was founded by former OpenAI employees, has launched a new AI chatbot to rival ChatGPT. The company claims that Claude is “easier to converse with” “more steerable.” and “much less likely to produce harmful outputs,”

Claude performs pretty well and has the same functions as the ChatGPT. “Claude can help with use cases including summarization, search, creative and collaborative writing, Q&A, coding, and more. Early customers report that Claude is much less likely to produce harmful outputs, easier to converse with, and more steerable — so you can get your desired output with less effort. Claude can also take direction on personality, tone, and behavior,” the company said in a blog post.

Anthrophic is offering Claude in two different variants including the Claude and Claude Instant. The company explains that Claude is a “state-of-the-art high-performance model”, while Claude Instant is a “lighter, less expensive, and much faster option.” “We plan to introduce even more updates in the coming weeks. As we develop these systems, we’ll continually work to make them more helpful, honest, and harmless as we learn more from our safety research and our deployments,” the blog read.

On track: A bullet train from Las Vegas to Los Angeles by 2027 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/03/on-track-a-bullet-train-from-las-vegas-to-los-angeles-by-2027 Tue, 14 Mar 2023 21:24:01 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2023/03/on-track-a-bullet-train-from-las-vegas-to-los-angeles-by-2027

A green bullet train capable of touching 200 miles per hour

The proposed 218-mile high-speed network will connect Las Vegas and Southern California with technology that allows it to maintain a cruising speed of 200 miles per hour (321 km/h). This means the travel time between the cities will be just over an hour. In comparison, a journey by car takes over four hours.

The expenditure on the project is expected to provide a much-needed boost to the economy, including the creation of nearly 35,000 jobs during the construction phase and around 10,000 permanent jobs. According to Brightline, the fully electric, emission-free system will be one of the greenest forms of transportation in the U.S., removing 3 million cars and 400,000 tons of CO2 each year.

“It’s controversial, so people are for it or against it,” Mauritshuis press officer Boris de Munnick told AFP. “The people who selected this, they liked it, they knew that it was AI, but we liked the creation. So we chose it, and we hung it,” he added.
