Scientists Think They’ve Found a New Cause of Type 2 Diabetes

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Year 2023 face_with_colon_three


More than half a billion people worldwide are affected by type 2 diabetes, and yet researchers still don’t know what’s behind the condition’s breakdown in insulin functionality.

Researchers from Case Western Reserve University in the US have now pulled back the molecular curtain and figured out why insulin, the hormone that maintains stable blood sugar, often stops working at its full effect.

Apple Buys DarwinAI Ahead of Major Generative AI Updates Coming in iOS 18

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Apple acquired Canada-based company DarwinAI earlier this year to build out its AI team, reports Bloomberg. DarwinAI created AI technology for inspecting components during the manufacturing process, and it also had a focus on making smaller and more efficient AI systems.

DarwinAI’s website and social media accounts have been taken offline following Apple’s purchase. Dozens of former DarwinAI companies have now joined Apple’s artificial intelligence division. AI researcher Alexander Wong, who helped build DarwinAI, is now a director in Apple’s AI group.

Intel’s new 6.2GHz CPU is the world’s fastest out-of-the-box

Posted by in category: computing

Intel wants to stay ahead of the performance game in the PC chip market, a throne that it often used to sit on before AMD and Apple’s new chips blew it out of the competition. But now it has again solidified its hold on the desktop performance crown with the release of its new Core i9-14900KS processor.

Launching it as a “special edition” release, the new chip represents a massive jump from last year’s top performer, Intel’s Core i9-13900KS. What is its top clock speed? Well out-of-the-box, it hits a maximum clock speed of 6.2GHz. This makes it the undisputed fastest consumer-grade desktop processor currently available.
