Georg Cantor : Contributions to the Founding of the Theory of Transfinite Numbers

Posted by in category: mathematics

This is a series of videos that I decided to make on Georg Cantor’s groundbreaking works published in 1,895 and 1,897 titled Contributions to the Founding of the Theory of Transfinite Numbers.

This work could probably be counted among the most influential and significant works in mathematical history — Cantor’s transfinite numbers changed the face of mathematics completely (although, not to everyone’s pleasure). The impact of Cantor’s work can’t be underestimated.

All-powerful, ever-pervasive AI is running out of internet

Posted by in categories: information science, internet, robotics/AI

TO AVOID DATA COLLAPSE, Algorithmic Input models must have human-generated inputs, but those inputs are “running out” if only those existing on the internet are used.


There is no such thing as unlimited data.

Virgin Galactic Launches Crewed Galactic 07 Mission

Posted by in categories: 3D printing, robotics/AI, space

Virgin Galactic is using its SpaceShipTwo to launch the final commercial flight of VSS Unity. This is the 17th flight of the VSS Unity, before the company plans to upgrade the vehicle.

The commercial crew on this mission is composed of a researcher affiliated with Axiom Space, two private Americans, and a private Italian. The Virgin Galactic crew on Unity will be Commander Nicola Pecile and pilot Jameel Janjua.

Apple is about to enter the world of AI and nothing will ever be the same

Posted by in categories: mobile phones, robotics/AI

But behind that wave of unreliable garbage, some amazing features emerge from using AI models. Apple has the chance to depict itself as the adult in the room, a company committed to using AI for features that make its customers’ lives better–not competing to do the best unreproducible magic trick on stage.

In doing so, it risks being seen as dowdy and behind. But if Apple can see beyond the latest tech-industry hype cycle–and it’s generally good at doing that–it can bet on iPhone users being more interested in real features than impractical nonsense.

Historically, Apple has been a company with a very strong philosophy about new technologies: they should be applied to solving the problems of real people. Most tech companies have historically had this backward: they take delivery of some whizzy new technology fresh off a manufacturer’s conveyor belt and shove it into a product. The result tends to be products that are solutions desperately searching for problems.

Integrated photonic neuromorphic computing: opportunities and challenges

Posted by in category: computing

Neuromorphic photonics is an emerging computing platform that addresses the growing computational demands of modern society. We review advances in integrated neuromorphic photonics and discuss challenges associated with electro-optical conversions, implementations of nonlinearity, amplification and processing in the time domain.

Challenging Previous Understanding — Physicists Propose a Wave-Based Theory of Heat Transport

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Physicists have linked the Doppler effect to heat transport, suggesting wave-like properties in biological tissues, with implications for medical and cosmetic technologies.

When a train approaches or an ambulance with its siren blaring nears us, we hear the sound with an increased frequency, which gradually decreases. As it passes, the frequency changes abruptly to a lower one, then decreases further. This commonly encountered phenomenon, known as the Doppler effect, can offer valuable insights into a seemingly unrelated field: heat transport.

The Physics of Heat Transport.

Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics show off first project: an open source robot that does chores

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

As for how Hugging Face’s Le Robot team ended up collaborating with Pollen Robotics, Cadene told VentureBeat that it was a natural alliance born out of geographic proximity and overlapping areas of research interest.

“We closely follow Pollen Robotics work and are amazed by their robots,” Cadene wrote. “We were looking for humanoid robots. They were looking for end-to-end training software. So the collaboration between Pollen with their robot Reachy and Hugging Face with LeRobot was natural, especially [since] they are located two hours away from our [Le Robot] lab in Paris, so we just visited them for a few days.”
