Mind Mastery

Posted by in categories: neuroscience, robotics/AI

Mind mastery refers to intentionally developing self-awareness and discipline to take control of your thought patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors. Rather than operating on autopilot or being swept away by negativity, you respond consciously in alignment with your values and goals. Benefits of mind mastery include reduced stress, achieving ambitions, fulfilled relationships, and overall life satisfaction.

Mastering your mind requires commitment, but small, consistent steps to steward your thoughts and manage your emotions will compound to impact your mental health and empower your life profoundly. Here are key techniques:

Practice observing your thoughts like clouds passing by without reacting or judging. Creating this mental space between stimulus and response allows you to gain perspective. Ask what evidence supports or contradicts anxious thoughts.

If you worry about humanity, you should be more scared of humans than of AI

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, existential risks, robotics/AI

Advances in artificial intelligence have prompted extensive public concern about its capacity to contribute to the spread of misinformation, bias, and cybersecurity breaches—and its potential existential threat to humanity. But, if anything, AI can aid human beings in making decisions aimed at improving social equality, safety, productivity—and mitigate some existential threats.

Einstein’s most famous equation has been used to make matter from light particles

Posted by in categories: information science, particle physics

According to Einstein’s theory of special relativity, first published in 1905, light can be converted into matter when two light particles collide with intense force. But, try as they might, scientists have never been able to do this. No one could create the conditions needed to transform light into matter — until now.

Physicists claim to have generated matter from pure light for the first time — a spectacular display of Einstein’s most famous equation.

This is a significant breakthrough, overcoming a theoretical barrier that seemed impossible only a few decades ago.

Watch the nuclear-powered flying hotel that can stay airborne for years with 5,000 passengers

Posted by in categories: nuclear energy, transportation

A concept video of Sky Cruise, a giant flying machine that can carry 5,000 passengers and has all the luxuries of the world, has gone viral on the internet. The maker of the video claims that such an aircraft built in the future would have no carbon footprint, The Independent reported.

The concept of a floating world in itself is not new and has been described even in Jonathan Swift’s works from the 18th century, much before the Wright Brothers made their first flight. Fans of animated movies might have also come across the concept in 1986 Japanese movie, Castle in the Sky.

Estimating life expectancy based on the age of type 2 diabetes diagnosis

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Similarly, individuals who were diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 40 years died ten years earlier, and those diagnosed at the age of 50 died six years earlier than their healthy counterparts.

A robust association was established between earlier age of diabetes diagnosis and deaths due to vascular and non-neoplastic conditions. Common vascular diseases include stroke and myocardial infarction, while non-neoplastic conditions include neurological, respiratory, and infectious diseases.

The association between life expectancy and diabetes was marginally greater in women than in men. Compared to older adults, higher hazard ratios for mortality were associated with earlier age of diabetes detection.

Could your daily routine lead to dementia? New research points to sedentary lifestyle as potential risk factor

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, computing, neuroscience

In a recent study published in JAMA, researchers investigated whether accelerometer-assessed sedentary behavior was associated with incident dementia.

The global population is engaging in more sedentary-type activities such as sitting while using the computer, watching television, and driving. Studies have reported associations between sedentary behavior and cardiometabolic diseases and related mortality; however, its relationship with new-onset dementia is not clear.
