My dream is to finally have an AI solution that is a mixture of Dragon meets, Amy meets a great editor and pr person to help me co-author a series of novels that I have been waiting for many years to write, publish, market and promote. Right now, you have Dragon or an experimental AI that writes the novel without any human input.
Textio, a service that helps job recruiters by flagging both good and poor phrasing, now aims to be a real-time writing coach.
Something so simple and finally done to help so many.
Beautiful
Researchers at the University of California said the new system dramatically improves the ability of people with limited sight to read books, menus, newspapers and emails.
The camera is not limited to text: its makers said it can also recognise faces and products.
Nice
A study providing new information about neuropathic pain afflicting some 90 percent of cancer patients who have had nerve damage caused by tumors, surgery, chemotherapy or radiation indicates gene therapy as a possible treatment.
The study in rats showed transfer of a gene known as KCC2 into the spinal canal restored chloride levels gone awry after nerve injury. Results from the research at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, were published in the May 5 online issue of Cell Reports.
The results also could have implications for treatment of chronic pain due to diabetic neuropathy and spinal cord injury since neuropathic pain caused by these conditions is associated with reduced KCC2 activity.
Hydro powered spacecraft to be the first to mine an astroid.
A few months back, Luxembourg—a tiny country better known for world-class pastries— announced its intention to become a leader in asteroid mining. Now, Luxembourg has revealed the first step in its plan to fill the banking vaults with space-grade platinum: a small, water-powered spacecraft.

Eventually it will be in everything tech. This version by IBM; is not for the masses. However, don’t worry; it’s coming.
Users will eventually be able to contribute and review results in the coming community, which will be hosted on the IBM Quantum Experience. So kudos to IBM for properly managing expectations.
The researchers at IBM have created a quantum processor, made up of five superconducting quantum bits (qubits).
The company said anyone can run experiments on the computing platform by accessing its website connected to the IBM Cloud. Arvind Krishna, senior vice president and director, IBM Research, noted that quantum computers would be very different from even today’s top supercomputers in looks, structure, and capabilities. A universal quantum computer, once built, has the potential to solve problems that are not solvable with today’s classical computers, IBM said. It can also allow for analysis of much larger quantities of data than can be done by today’s supercomputers.
