Superconducting quantum technology has long promised to bridge the divide between existing electronic devices and the delicate quantum landscape beyond. Unfortunately progress in making critical processes stable has stagnated over the past decade.

Now a significant step forward has finally been realized, with researchers from the University of Maryland making superconducting qubits that last 10 times longer than before.

What makes qubits so useful in computing is the fact their quantum properties entangle in ways that are mathematically handy for making short work of certain complex algorithms, taking moments to solve select problems that would take other technology decades or more.

Some transcription factors are known as master regulators, and they can have an impact on many different biochemical pathways and processes in cells. | Cell And Molecular Biology.

A black hole 10 billion light-years away suddenly ‘switched on’, becoming one of the brightest transient objects ever detected.

Engineered Arts, a company that designs, engineers, and manufactures humanoid robots, which is also behind Ameca, has now given Ameca the power to imagine drawings.

In a video released on their YouTube Channel on June 29, 2023, Ameca is being asked to make a drawing of a cat. Previously, Engineered Arts have demonstrated Ameca’s ability to express many different kinds of human emotions and their ability to speak in multiple languages.

While this is an incredibly ambitious goal and we’re not guaranteed to succeed, we are optimistic that a focused, concerted effort can solve this problem: ^{indent-0 not-italic [em_&]:indent-2] [^problem]} There are many ideas that have shown promise in preliminary experiments, we have increasingly useful metrics for progress, and we can use today’s models to study many of these problems empirically.

Ilya Sutskever (cofounder and Chief Scientist of OpenAI) has made this his core research focus, and will be co-leading the team with Jan Leike (Head of Alignment). Joining the team are researchers and engineers from our previous alignment team, as well as researchers from other teams across the company.

We’re also looking for outstanding new researchers and engineers to join this effort. Superintelligence alignment is fundamentally a machine learning problem, and we think great machine learning experts—even if they’re not already working on alignment—will be critical to solving it.

UK company ODIN Space has demonstrated a space junk sensor, which could map and analyse debris with sub-centimetre precision.

SpaceX recently launched a Falcon 9 rocket delivering the Transporter 8 mission, a rideshare carrying various microsatellites and nanosatellites into orbit for commercial and government customers. These payloads included new sensor technology by ODIN Space, installed on a D-Orbit ION satellite. ODIN Space has now confirmed that the spacecraft has successfully begun to capture data from its surroundings.

Dr. Ralph W. Moss and son Ben discuss the science behind the health benefits of chocolate and how this delightful indulgence, often considered a guilty pleasure, can play a vital role in our overall well being.

Throw a stone at any creative product nowadays, and you’ll hit an AI-supported feature. But for Blackmagic Design, AI has already been used for about half a decade under a different name — the DaVinci Resolve Neural Engine.

Their use of AI is impressive but you’d think they’d have good continuous autofocus by now.

I’m going have to split this post into an AI post aswell.

The App Privacy section of Threads’ App Store page lists all the ways in which Threads is tracking you (opens in a new tab) and using your data. Reader, the list is very, very long.

Threads, Meta’s answer to Twitter, launched on Thursday, apparently amassing more than 10 million users in the first seven hours of its existence.
