Welcome to the thrilling world of autonomous fabrication, where the only constant is change, and the speed of that change is akin to a caffeinated cheetah on a treadmill.
This blog focuses on revolutionizing the iteration cycle in autonomous fabrication, emphasizing the need for rapid and efficient transitions from design to deployment.
The overarching theme is the synergy between advanced technology and a transformative mindset in manufacturing, aiming for smarter, more sustainable, and compliant operations.
New A.I. tools could enable a Silicon Valley dream: bots that customize learning for pupils. Prior attempts have not lived up to the hype.
Artificial intelligence has progressed from sci-fi fantasy to mainstream reality. AI now powers online tools from search engines to voice assistants and it is used in everything from medical imaging analysis to autonomous vehicles. But the advance of AI will soon collide with another pressing issue: energy consumption.
Much like cryptocurrencies today, AI risks becoming a target for criticism and regulation based on its high electricity appetite. Partisans are forming into camps, with AI optimists extolling continued progress through more compute power, while pessimists are beginning to portray AI power usage as wasteful and even dangerous. Attacks echo those leveled at crypto mining in recent years. Undoubtedly, there will be further efforts to choke off AI innovation by cutting its energy supply.
The pessimists raise some valid points. Developing ever-more capable AI does require vast computing resources. For example, the amount of compute used to train OpenAI’s ChatGPT-3 reportedly equaled 800 petaflops of processing power—on par with the 20 most powerful supercomputers in the world combined. Similarly, ChatGPT receives somewhere on the order of hundreds of millions of queries each day. Estimates suggest that the electricity required to respond to all these queries might be around 1 GWh daily, enough to power the daily energy consumption of about 33,000 U.S. households. Demand is expected to further increase in the future.
University of California, San Diego developed this implant using a high electrode density combined with machine learning.
“We are expanding the spatial reach of neural recordings with this technology,” said study senior author Duygu Kuzum, a Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering professor at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering.
“Even though our implant resides on the brain’s surface, its design goes beyond the limits of physical sensing in that it can infer neural activity from deeper layers,” added Kuzum.
The study team tested this implant on transgenic mice.
New method captures better thermal details, helpful for self-driving, identifying materials, and enhancing security measures.
Scientists have created a novel technology using meta-optical devices to conduct thermal imaging. Like a pair of glasses, this device does thermal imaging and can also identify the objects being imaged.
This expands the potential applications of thermal imaging in various fields, including security, thermography, medical imaging, and remote sensing.
“Our method overcomes the challenges of traditional spectral thermal imagers, which are often bulky and delicate due to their reliance on large filter wheels or interferometers,” said Zubin Jacob, research team leader from Purdue University.
Before the reorganization, Google’s hardware division included separate teams for Pixel, Nest, and Fitbit, each handling different aspects such as design, hardware engineering, software, and UI. Essentially, it was like having three miniature companies within Google’s hardware division.
This structure was a result of Google’s acquisition of Nest in 2014 and later Fitbit. However, Google is now moving towards a functional organization model where there will be a single team responsible for hardware engineering across Pixel, Nest, and Fitbit. This means that there will be one leader overseeing this aspect of products across all Google hardware.
3 million custom ChatGPTs
The new store is dubbed the GPT Store, where customers who have subscribed to their ChatGPT Plus service for $20 per month can browse through custom chatbots that offer a range of services such as book recommendations, math tutorials, and scientific paper searches. According to a blog post by the company, the store aims to assist users in discovering popular and practical custom versions of ChatGPT. In an official tweet, the company says users can now choose over 3 million different types of GPTs as per their choice and needs.
Big discovery on the patterns of evolution and how it’ll change medicine and even potentially climate change and synthetic biology.
The experts meticulously analyzed the pangenome — a complete set of genes within a species. By deploying a machine learning technique known as Random Forest, and processing data from 2,500 complete genomes of a single bacterial species, the team embarked on a journey to unravel the mysteries of evolutionary predictability.
“The implications of this research are nothing short of revolutionary,” said Professor McInerney, the lead author of the study.
“By demonstrating that evolution is not as random as we once thought, we’ve opened the door to an array of possibilities in synthetic biology, medicine, and environmental science.”

Students at Ferris State University in Michigan will soon be sharing the classroom with AI-powered freshman “students” who will enroll in classes alongside them, MLive reports.
And no, they won’t have humanoid robot bodies — they’ll be interacting with students via computers, microphones, and speakers.
In an experiment led by associate professor Kasey Thompson, AI students dubbed Ann and Fry will be listening — or scanning through? — lectures, work on assignments, and even actively participate in discussions with other students, per the report.
