CISA warns of active exploitation of Versa Director vulnerability CVE-2024–39717. Agencies urged to patch by September 2024.
It’s only in the beta versions of Windows at the moment but it won’t be long before it’s fully rolled out.
The creature is a kind of choanoflagellate, a microorganism closely related to animals:
Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, have discovered an unusual creature in Eastern Sierra Nevada’s Mono Lake. This organism could provide insights into the complex animal life that originated on Earth over 650 million years ago.
The lake is famous for being home to creatures like shrimp and alkali flies.
The latest organism discovered is a type of choanoflagellate, a microscopic, single-celled life form that can develop into multicellular colonies.
Theoretical work explains why terahertz radiation is emitted when a laser pulse demagnetizes a magnetic thin film.
The active zone primes synaptic vesicles and clusters voltage-gated Ca2+ channels fast neurotransmitter release. Here the authors dissect the underlying molecular architecture and show that distinct protein machineries execute these functions.
Last month, researchers created an electronic link between the brains of two rats separated by thousands of miles. This was just another reminder that technology will one day make us telepaths. But how far will this transformation go? And how long will it take before humans evolve into a fully-fledged hive mind? We spoke to the experts to find out.
I spoke to three different experts, all of whom have given this subject considerable thought: Kevin Warwick, a British scientist and professor of cybernetics at the University of Reading; Ramez Naam, an American futurist and author of NEXUS (a scifi novel addressing this topic); and Anders Sandberg, a Swedish neuroscientist from the Future of Humanity Institute at the University of Oxford.
They all told me that the possibility of a telepathic noosphere is very real — and it’s closer to reality than we might think. And not surprisingly, this would change the very fabric of the human condition.

When stressed, this comb jelly reverts to a larval form, then matures again when favorable conditions return.
