Oregon Confirmed a Human Case of the Bubonic Plague. It Was Likely Caused By a Cat
A case of the bubonic plague has hit Oregon, and the likely cause was a cat.
Health officials in Deschutes County announced last week that a resident, who has not been identified, had been diagnosed with the plague, in the state’s first human case in eight years. The individual was likely infected by their cat, the department says.
“All close contacts of the resident and their pet have been contacted and provided medication to prevent illness,” said Dr. Richard Fawcett, the Deschutes County Health Services Officer.
OpenAI backed 1X’s humanoid robots showcase an advanced neural network
1X’s androids use Embodied Learning, integrating AI software directly into their physical forms for advanced capabilities.
Maximizing adaptable hardware potential, 1X employs comprehensive autonomy, teaching motor behaviors via neural networks from visual input.
How many robots can you see in this image? Disney sees two
In addition to movies and themeparks, Disney is now also operating in robotics space but taking a different approach from the rest.
Disney is challenging our very notion of what constitutes a robot and if they need to work alone at all times to be effective.

Brilliant Labs has become the latest company to introduce a pair of smart glasses called Frame.
Talking about AI could help US-China cool off say experts
There are many pain points that warrant discussions between the two nations but AI could be the thing that brings them to the table.
Relations between the United States and China have been downward recently. Topics like artificial intelligence (AI) and such technology in automated weapons could be common points of interest to get the two countries talking again.
Tensions between the two nations have been on the rise for a host of issues. Recently, the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, China’s burgeoning presence in the South China Sea, and the supply of powerful chips in the technology space have been areas of disagreement on both sides.
The lack of dialogue on such issues has led to tensions between the two countries, and the imposition of restrictions on both sides has further strained relations. While addressing these points is expected to be a long-drawn affair for the two countries, common areas like AI could offer a starting point, experts told the South China Morning Post (SCMP).
Is Generative AI Overshadowing The Proven Workhorses Of Modern Tech?
Generative AI has emerged as the next wave of innovation amidst the ongoing evolution of the technological landscape, attracting the attention of both researchers and investors.
Even as vector databases and Retrieval-Augmented Generation models become mainstream, offering innovative ways to handle and process data, traditional ETL processes retain their importance in the data management ecosystem. Traditional ETL is fundamental for preparing and structuring data from diverse sources into a coherent, standardized format, making it accessible and usable for various applications. This structured data is crucial for maintaining the accuracy and reliability of information within vector databases, which excel at handling similarity searches and complex queries by converting data into vector space.
Similarly, RAG models, which leverage vast databases to augment content generation with relevant information retrieval, depend on well-organized, high-quality data to enhance their output’s relevance and accuracy. By ensuring data is accurately extracted, cleaned and loaded into databases, traditional ETL processes complement the capabilities of vector databases and RAG models, providing a solid foundation of quality data that enhances their performance and utility. This symbiotic relationship underscores the continuing value of traditional ETL in the age of AI-driven data management, ensuring that advancements in data processing technologies are grounded in reliable and well-structured data sources.
The rise of generative AI has indeed shifted the technological focus, overshadowing some of the core technologies that have been instrumental in our digital progress.
