Posted by in category: military

Israel’s military technology manufacturer, Camero Tech, has unveiled its latest and most advanced detection system. Called XAVER 1,000, this system enables soldiers to gain a tactical advantage by detecting objects and individuals behind solid walls before initiating an attack. The XAVER 1,000 was showcased at the Eurosatory 2022 exhibition in Paris, where it was met with significant interest and positive feedback.

In this video, we are taking a closer look at the XAVER 1000.

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

What hormone receptors are involved in HDBC? Why is it important to know breast cancer hormone status? The prognosis of HDBC Early detection Age and hormone status Recent research into HDBC Conclusion References Further reading

Hormone-dependent breast cancer (HDBC), also known as hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, is a type of breast cancer driven by hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. It is estimated that 70–80% of breast cancers are HDBC, making it the most common type of breast cancer.

Understanding the nature of HDBC is vital to further developing effective therapeutic and preventative strategies. Recent decades have seen breast cancer survival rates continuously improve. With better prevention and treatment, we can hope for these rates to improve further.

Hyperloop Technology to Reduce Travel Time Between Dubai and Abu Dhabi to 12 Minutes

Posted by in categories: innovation, transportation

A breakthrough in transportation has brought the possibility of traveling between Dubai and Abu Dhabi in just 12 minutes one step closer. Virgin’s Hyperloop, supported by Dubai-based firm DP World, conducted successful tests in the Nevada desert.

During the trial, two Hyperloop staff members traveled 500 meters on a “DevLoop” in just 15 seconds, reaching speeds of 107 mph (172 kph). The Hyperloop, which uses vacuum tubes to propel pods at high speeds, aims to eventually achieve speeds of 1,000 km/h.

Although the recent test occurred in Nevada, the Los Angeles-based Hyperloop company is considering various locations for implementing the technology, including a route between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. If realized, this Hyperloop connection would significantly reduce travel time between the two Emirates.

The AI Founder Taking Credit For Stable Diffusion’s Success Has A History Of Exaggeration

Posted by in categories: finance, internet, robotics/AI

Stability AI became a $1 billion company with the help of a viral AI text-to-image generator and — per interviews with more than 30 people — some misleading claims from founder Emad Mostaque.

Emad Mostaque is the modern-day Renaissance man who kicked off the AI gold rush. The Oxford master’s degree holder is an award-winning hedge fund manager, a trusted confidant to the United Nations and the tech founder behind Stable Diffusion — the text-to-image generator that broke the internet last summer and, in his words, pressured OpenAI to launch ChatGPT, the bot that mainstreamed AI.

Augmented reality needs an iPhone moment

Posted by in categories: augmented reality, virtual reality

‘This is the single greatest thing that could happen to this industry.’

As Apple prepares its long-rumored jump into augmented reality on Monday, doubts have shadowed every step of the way. There are reports of frequent changes in direction and skepticism inside Apple’s ranks. The device has allegedly been hard to manufacture and required numerous compromises. The process has taken years longer than Apple expected. And at a rumored $3,000, even Apple reportedly expects slow short-term sales.

But among AR professionals, the mood is jubilant. “This is the single greatest thing that could happen to this industry,” says Jay Wright, CEO of VR / AR collaboration platform Campfire 3D.

Google’s AI-powered search experience is way too slow

Posted by in category: futurism

The worst thing about Google’s new AI-powered search experience is how long you have to wait. Can you think of the last time you waited for a Google Search result? For me, searches are generally instant. You type a thing in the search box, Google almost immediately spits out an answer to that thing, and then you can click some links to learn more about what you searched for or type something else into the box. It’s a virtuous, useful cycle that has turned Google Search into the most visited website in the world.

Google’s Search Generative Experience, on the other hand, has loading animations.

Let me back up a little.
