Comet 67P Found to Be Producing Its Own Oxygen in Deep Space
Posted by Carse Peel in categories: cosmology, evolution
RELATED: Building Blocks for Life Found in Rosetta’s Comet
“Understanding the origin of molecular oxygen in space is important for the evolution of the Universe and the origin of life on Earth,” the researchers wrote.
The finding muddies the waters in how detecting oxygen in the atmospheres of exoplanets might not necessarily point to life, as this abiotic process means that oxygen can be produced in space without the need for life. The researchers say this finding might influence how researchers search for signs of life on exoplanets in the future.

Malicious software that blocks access to computers is spreading swiftly across the world, snarling critical systems in hospitals, telecommunications and corporate offices, apparently with the help of a software vulnerability originally discovered by the National Security Agency.
The reports of the malware spread began in Britain, where the National Health Service (NHS) reported serious problems throughout Friday. But government officials and cybersecurity experts later described a far more extensive problem growing across the Internet and unbounded by national borders. Europe and Latin America were especially hard hit.
“This is not targeted at the NHS,” British Prime Minister Theresa May told reporters. “It’s an international attack, and a number of countries and organizations have been affected.”

My own diet is eggs and hashbrowns and Raisin Bran cereal along with water, Ensure, and one scoop of whey protein. Lunch is usually Subway(veggie patty), and dinner is a smoothie currently consisting of broccoli, avocado, peanut butter, banana, yogurt, spinach, and two scoops of whey protein with 18 oz of water. i also take one 500 mg tablet of quercetin each day.
Aubrey de Grey, Judith Campisi, J. Craig Venter and David Sinclair, who all work on anti-aging research, describe their own life-extension practices.

Can the human brain on LSD take on AI?
Posted by Carse Peel in categories: entertainment, robotics/AI
Amanda Feilding, a well-known researcher from the Beckley Foundation in Oxford, has long been an advocate for LSD microdosing.
Before it was made illegal in 1968, Ms Feilding would take LSD to boost her creativity, and even found that her performace in the ancient Chinese game of Go, improved.
Speaking to Motherboard, Ms Feilding said: ‘I found that if I was on LSD and my opponent wasn’t, I won more games.

Lifelong-DNN™ (Lifelong-Deep Neural Networks), Neurala’s Patent-Pending Software, Overcomes Catastrophic Forgetting—the #1 Problem Limiting the Growth of Deep Learning Neural Networks for Real-Time Use
SAN JOSE, CA —May 8, 2017— Neurala today announced a major advance in deep learning with software that can learn with or without the cloud and eliminates the risk of forgetting its previous knowledge. The new patent-pending approach means that for the first time a self-driving car can be personalized by each owner or dealer to a specific neighborhood; a parent can teach a toy to recognize a child, without infringing on privacy; and industrial machines can be updated in the field for specific tasks.
