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.
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.”

Four young women born with defective or absent vaginas now have fully functioning parts, thanks to science.
Billioпs of light-years away, a hυge ball of iпcaпdesceпt gas has beeп discovered, which is brighter thaп hυпdreds of billioпs of Sυпs. It’s hard to imagiпe aпythiпg like that. This object is so bright that it is very difficυlt for astroпomers to fiпd a way to describe it.

It will surpass New York’s Central Park Tower.
Award-winning UAE property developer Binghatti has joined forces with luxury jewelry and watch brand Jacob & Co to introduce the tallest residential tower in the world.
Dogs Cry Tears of Joy: Study
Posted in futurism
Dogs cry tears of joy when reuniting with their owners.
Pet dogs produce a larger volume of tears when they are reunited with their owners than with acquaintances, possibly because of surging oxytocin levels—findings that could be the first evidence of emotional crying in nonhuman animals.
Super Sub will undergo sea trials in the Spring of 2023.
Super Sub, the ultra-luxury, all-electric, three-person submersible, is now officially better than ever before. Its manufacturer, U-BoatWorx, has confirmed that the submersible’s top speed has now been improved to ten knots, up to seven knots faster than existing submersibles.
If the name U-BoatWorx sounds familiar, then let us remind you that this Netherlands-based manufacturer of submersibles has brought radical designs, such as the submersible yacht that can stay underwater for up to four days. These exquisite designs surely come at a price but are meant to deliver experiences that you can get nowhere else.
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.
