DeepMind has found a simple way to make language models reason better

Posted by in categories: mathematics, robotics/AI

Logical reasoning is still a major challenge for language models. DeepMind has found a way to support reasoning tasks.

A study by Google’s AI division DeepMind shows that the order of the premises in a task has a significant impact on the logical reasoning performance of language models.

They work best when the premises are presented in the same order as they appear in the logical conclusions. According to the researchers, this is also true for mathematical problems. The researchers make the systematically generated tests available in the R-GSM benchmark for further investigation.

How a Standard Blood Test can Predict a Heart Attack

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Using the results of a standard blood test and an online tool, you can find out if you are at increased risk of having a heart attack within six months. The tool has been developed by a research group at Uppsala University in the hope of increasing patients’ motivation to change their lifestyles.

Their paper is published in the journal Nature Cardiovascular Research.

Heart attacks are the most common cause of death in the world and are increasing globally. Many high-risk people are not identified or do not take their preventive treatment.

SpaceX has aggressive plan for Starship in 2024 with more than nine launches

Posted by in category: space travel

SpaceX has an aggressive plan for Starship in 2024, planning to launch the rocket at least nine times this year, according to a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) administrator.

Starship is the most powerful and the largest heavy-lift launch vehicle ever built, and it will eventually be responsible for taking people from Earth to Mars, according to SpaceX’s goals for the project.

However, SpaceX has a long way to go before it will get Starship to that point.

In a next-level automation move, Chinese EV maker NIO (NYSE: NIO) is piloting humanoid robots on its EV assembly line at one of its factories.

NIO manufactures EVs at its two factories in Hefei, the largest city in Anhui Province, in eastern China.

Shenzhen-based UBTECH ROBOTICS, listed on Hong Kong’s stock exchange, built the Walker S robot working on NIO’s assembly line. The company says it’s the first time the Walker S has been used on an EV assembly line.

First Stellantis EV for the US rolls off the assembly line after selling out of dealer allocation

Posted by in categories: sustainability, transportation

The first Stellantis brand EV destined for the US rolled off the assembly line this week. The all-electric Fiat 500e will arrive in the US by the end of March after selling out of its first dealer allocation in less than a week.

“We’re thrilled that the Fiat 500e has officially begun its journey to reach customers in North America,” Fiat CEO and CMO at Stellantis said Wednesday.

The Fiat 500e is already the best-selling electric city car in Europe, ranking first in Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, and France. Since launching, the 500e has sold over 185,000 units globally. Now, the small electric car is about to take on North America.

Physicists Successfully Create Holographic Wormhole with Quantum Computer

Posted by in categories: computing, cosmology, holograms, quantum physics

In an experiment reported in the journal Nature, physicists have achieved a remarkable feat by creating the world’s first quantum holographic wormhole. The experiment delves into the profound connection between quantum information and space-time, challenging traditional theories and shedding light on the complex relationship between quantum mechanics and general relativity.

The team, led by Maria Spiropulu from the California Institute of Technology, utilized Google’s quantum computer, Sycamore, to implement the groundbreaking “wormhole teleportation protocol.” This quantum gravity experiment on a chip surpassed competitors using IBM and Quantinuum’s quantum computers, marking a significant leap in the exploration of quantum phenomena.

The holographic wormhole emerged as a hologram from manipulated quantum bits, or “qubits,” stored in minute superconducting circuits. This achievement brings us closer to realizing a tunnel, theorized by Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen in 1935, that traverses an extra dimension of space. The team successfully transmitted information through this quantum tunnel, further validating the experiment’s success.
