A team of Viennese researchers has developed what likely amounts to the future of classical computing: Intelligent transistors. By tapping into the element Germanium, these transistors are much more efficient and can reduce the number of transistors required for the same computational work by a staggering 85%.

Probabilistic modelling
Four major steps are entailed in generating successful probabilistic modelling through the Bean Machine. The modelling is based on generative techniques, the data collected from Python dictionaries where it is associated with random variables. The learning step improves the model’s knowledge based on observations, and the results are stored for further analysis.

We are publishing a detailed study of a 280-billion parameter transformer language model called Gopher, a study of ethical and social risks associated with large language models, and a paper investigating a new architecture with better training efficiency.
I seek to recognize Einstein before everyone knows that they are an Einstein. There left us 1 spot at the codegen team (works on Codex 2.0) and the language team (works on GPT-4). https://grnh.se/68b9465f4us
At the turn of the 20th Century, Thomas Edison invented a battery with the unusual quirk of producing hydrogen. Now, 120 years later, the battery is coming into its own.
The coldest continent on Earth used to be as warm as Italy. Here’s how we know.
A polar expedition drilled into the seafloor and unearthed 90-million-year-old tree roots.
WHEN OLIVER TSCHAUNER AND COLLEAGUES dusted off a sample of volcano-ejected diamond found in a South African mine, they had no idea that they were holding the first-ever natural sample of a new high-pressure mineral from deep within Earth.
While minuscule, researchers predict that this mineral is responsible for the movement of crucial components like rare earth metals and radioactive isotopes through the Earth’s mantle. To figure this out, the team turned to X-ray beams and lasers.
Using x-rays and lasers, scientists have analyzed the second-ever high-pressure mineral extracted from the earth’s lower mantle.
The hidden water was found at a site as large as the Netherlands.
The water likely exists as ice, making the region ripe for future exploration.
WASHINGTON, December 24, 2021 – Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger says that further use of artificial intelligence will call into question what it means to be human, and that the technology cannot solve all those problems humans fail to address on their own.
Kissinger spoke at a Council on Foreign Relations event highlighting his new book “The Age of AI: And Our Human Future” on Monday along with co-author and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt in a conversation moderated by PBS NewsHour anchor Judy Woodruff.
Schmidt remarked throughout the event on unanswered questions about AI despite common use of the technology.
