Space travel alters gene expression, making astronauts susceptible to infections

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health

A new study shows how space travel may modify the gene expression in white blood cells (WBCs), which fight infections.

Beyond Earth, a less gravity environment poses a significant risk to the health of astronauts, particularly during longer-duration missions.

Understanding how the human body reacts to the space environment is crucial for the long term and designing countermeasures to protect astronauts’ health.

Code Gets ‘God Mode’: GitHub Copilot X GPT-4

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, internet, robotics/AI, space travel

Chat gpt 4 has near limitless potential for AI good and it helping so many coders already. It is much like the beginning of the star trek computer and Jarvis from Ironman. It is actually making quick work of all the coding tasks. The real potential is full automation where even work and society could evolve millions of years in seconds. For space exploration we could see it implemented for information of all kinds that is accurate. Eventually it really could be a star trek computer for space exploration. This will only get smarter and Eventually gaps of knowledge even from college level tasks can be easily done and beyond. Along with neuralink even humans could have accurate knowledge with chat gpt 4 including all known knowledge like the entire internet inside neuralink eventually. This could even help with guarding against the superintelligence if that were to happen. Also can even guard nations eventually from polymorphic malware. This tool is a definite force of AI good so stay tuned to chat gpt 4 and beyond.


Hold onto your hats! Microsoft has done it again with the announcement of GitHub Copilot X powered by GPT-4. This shiny new iteration offers many features that will make your pair programming experience feel like a walk in the park.

Tesla sweeps Cars.com’s made-in-America list with four models made in Fremont gigafactory

Posted by in categories: sustainability, transportation

Tesla Inc. has something new to boast about. The electric vehicle maker swept the top four spots on Cars.com’s annual ranking of most made-in-America vehicles.

The four Tesla models — in order of how they rank, Tesla Model Y, Tesla Model 3, Tesla Model X and Tesla Model S — are all made at the company’s gigafactory in Fremont. Tesla, which is based in Austin, Texas but has its engineering headquarters in Palo Alto, also manufacturers the models at factories in Texas and Nevada.

Clippy Comes to Life with Chat-GPT and Raspberry Pi

Posted by in categories: futurism, robotics/AI

The future of clippy and toy makers is promising 👌 😀 😄.


As Microsoft eagerly adds Chat-GPT to Bing, Word, Edge, and dozens of other products, I can’t help myself from thinking of Clippy. The old assistant could be seen as a precursor to modern, collaborative AI. Clearly, someone else had the same thought, but they actually did something with it.

The Loss of Y Chromosomes, a Natural Part of Aging, Drives Cancer

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, life extension, sex

The Y chromosome is the smallest chromosome, and holds the least amount of genes, but scientists are still learning about all of its biological functions. Research has shown that many men start to lose Y chromosomes in blood cells as they get older, and this phenomenon has been linked to some disorders including heart disease and now, cancer. Some studies have suggested that the loss of the Y chromosome may help explain why men tend to die at slightly younger ages compared to women, or why there are sex differences in some types of cancer… Two new studies reported in Nature have explored the link between cancer and the loss of the Y chromosome.

One study used a mouse model to show that a specific gene on the Y chromosome known as KDM5D increases the chance that some types of colorectal cancer will metastasize. The other research report showed that when some cells lose the Y chromosome, bladder tumors are better at evading the immune system, and the risk of aggressive bladder cancer increases.

Seafood consumption linked to lower risk of cardiometabolic multimorbidity in older men

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

In a recent study published in the European Journal of Nutrition, scientists investigate the association between diet and cardiometabolic multimorbidity risk among British men between the ages of 60 and 79. To this end, consuming more seafood and fish was linked to a lower risk of first cardiometabolic disease transitioning to cardiometabolic multimorbidity.

Putin vows to deploy world’s most powerful nuke ‘Satan 2’ to ‘combat duty’

Posted by in categories: futurism, military

VLADIMIR Putin vowed to deploy his hypersonic “Satan-2” nuclear-capable missiles in a chilling new threat to the West.

The Russian leader said that the new generations of the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles — thought to be the world’s most powerful — would soon be deployed for combat duty.

In a speech to newly graduated soldiers, Putin warned: “In the near future, the first launchers of the Sarmat complex with a new heavy missile will go on combat duty.”
