Silencing Sonic Booms: NASA’s X-59 Quiet Supersonic Aircraft Passes Critical Milestone

Posted by in categories: futurism, transportation

NASA ’s X-59 quiet supersonic aircraft project has reached a critical milestone with the completion of the Flight Readiness Review, paving the way for future flight testing.

NASA has advanced the airworthiness verification of its quiet supersonic X-59 aircraft with the completion of a milestone review that will allow it to progress toward flight.

An independent Flight Readiness Review board comprising experts from throughout NASA has concluded a detailed evaluation of the X-59 project team’s safety strategies for the public and staff during both ground and flight testing. The board meticulously examined the team’s assessment of potential hazards, focusing on safety and risk identification.

How FinalSpark Wants to Contribute to a Low Carbon Future. The Energy-saving Potential of Biocomputing

Posted by in categories: futurism, robotics/AI

One of the trade-offs of today’s technological progress is the big energy costs necessary to process digital information. To make AI models using silicon-based processors, we need to train them with huge amounts of data. The more data, the better the model. This is perfectly illustrated by the current success of large language models, such as ChatGPT. The impressive abilities of such models are due to the fact that huge amounts of data were used for their training.

The more data we use to teach digital AI, the better it becomes, but also the more computational power is needed.

This is why to develop AI further; we need to consider alternatives to the current status quo in silicon-based technologies. Indeed, we have recently seen a lot of publications about Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI topic.

In the brain at rest, study indicates neurons rehearse future experience

Posted by in categories: futurism, neuroscience

Together with collaborators in Michigan’s Neural Circuits and Memory Lab led by Diba, Rice neuroscientist Caleb Kemere has been studying the process by which specialized neurons produce a representation of the world after a new experience.


Some dreams may, in fact, predict the future: New research has found that during sleep, some neurons not only replay the recent past but also anticipate future experience.

A New Theory of Time — Lee Smolin

Posted by in categories: futurism, physics

Is it possible that time is real, and that the laws of physics are not fixed? Lee Smolin, A C Grayling, Gillian Tett, and Bronwen Maddox explore the implications of such a profound re-think of the natural and social sciences, and consider how it might impact the way we think about surviving the future.

Listen to the podcast of the full event including audience Q\&A: http://www.thersa.org/__data/assets/f
