Scientists Are Investigating Signs of Ancient Human Civilization Underwater
Posted by Josh Seeherman in category: futurism
I find it interesting this was published shortly after the premier of “ancient apocalypse” on netflix.
An underwater “Stonehenge” stretches for miles under a lake in Europe. “I think it was something with a cultic context,” one researcher theorized.

This new minimally invasive procedure can effectively treat back pain
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in category: futurism
Eight out of 10 Americans have back pain, which has become the leading cause of disability worldwide.
Jimmie Wiggins is one of Dr. Thomas Lee’s Intracept procedure success stories. Watching him walk down the hall, one would never know Wiggins suffered from debilitating back pain for 23 years.
“It’s been really bad, really bad. (It) stopped me from doing a lot of stuff,” he said. “It’s good to be pain-free … walking, running, jogging, exercising. I went back to what I used to do years ago.”

NeurIPS: Why causal-representation learning may be the future of AI
Posted by Dan Kummer in categories: futurism, robotics/AI
In a conversation right before the 2021 Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS), Amazon vice president and distinguished scientist Bernhard Schölkopf — according to Google Scholar, the most highly cited researcher in the field of causal inference — said that the next frontier in artificial-intelligence research was causal-representation learning.
Where existing approaches to causal inference use machine learning to discover causal relationships between variables — say, the latencies of various interrelated services on a website — causal-representation learning learns the variables themselves. “These kinds of causal representations will also go toward reasoning, which we will ultimately need if we want to move away from this pure pattern recognition view of intelligence,” Schölkopf said.
Francesco Locatello, a senior applied scientist with Amazon Web Services, leads Amazon’s research on causal-representation learning, and he’s a coauthor on four papers at this year’s NeurIPS.
