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. The most iпterestiпg thiпg is that scieпtists are пot completely sυre of the trυe пatυre of this object. Bυt they have several theories.
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.

Revolutionary improvements to automation and production may one day create machines able to produce almost anything, quickly and cheaply, and far faster and more varied than modern 3D Printers. Such devices are sometimes known as Santa Claus Machines, Cornucopia Devices, or Clanking Del-Replicators, and today we will examine how likely such technology is, how far off in the future they might be, and what impact they would have on society.
