What is the point of all that wealth if you don’t get to be petty?
Twitter blocked links to Jack Sweeney’s Instagram and Facebook accounts tracking Elon Musk’s jet and announced an updated privacy policy.
Turing Award winner and deep learning pioneer Geoffrey Hinton, one of the original proponents of backpropagation, has argued in recent years that backpropagation does not explain how the brain works. In his NeurIPS 2022 keynote speech, Hinton proposes a new approach to neural network learning: the Forward-Forward algorithm.
Scientists have created a teeny tiny, creepy crawly-like robot they hope will travel through the human body to cure diseases. Made of gelatin, the 3D-printed device may eventually replace pills or intravenous injections that can cause problematic side effects. Bring on the killer robots! We need ’em more than ever.

GPT Chat is a large language model trained by OpenAI, its function is to assist users in generating human-like text based on the input provided to it. It can assist with a wide range of tasks, such as answering questions, providing explanations, and generating original text. It’s designed to generate natural-sounding text, and it’s constantly learning and improving. It’s able to process and generate text at scale, making it a powerful tool for natural language processing and generation. It’s ultimate goal is to make it easier for people to interact with computers and access information using natural language.

Standing among solar arrays and power grid equipment at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), you might hear a faint, distorted melody buzzing from somewhere. You are not hallucinating—that gray box really is singing the Star Wars Theme, or the ice cream truck song, or Chopin’s Waltz in A minor. Power system engineers are just having some fun with an NREL capability that prevents stability problems on the electrical grid.
Usually, the engineers send another kind of waveform through the inverters and load banks: megawatts of power and voltage vibrations at many frequencies. The purpose of their research is to see how energy devices and the grid interact—to get them “in tune” and prevent dangerous electrical oscillations that show up like screechy feedback or a booming sub-bass.

Called it. i want to start w/ planet Fall Out. see you in 2030.
In a guest editorial, Watch Dogs: Legion and Assassin’s Creed: Codename Hexe creative director Clint Hocking looks at the future of artificial intelligence, and how it will one day be able to generate full games.
After six decades we have finally reached controlled fusion “ignition.” Here is how it works and what it means (and doesn’t mean):
At the Lawrence Livermore National Lab (LLNL) the National Ignition Facility (NIF) starts with the Injection Laser System (ILS), a ytterbium-doped optical fiber laser (Master Oscillator) that produces a single very lower power, 1,053 nanometer (Infrared Light) beam. This single beam is split into 48 Pre-Amplifiers Modules (PAMs) that create four beams each (192 total). Each PAM conducts a two-stage amplification process via xenon flash lamps.
Surpassing energy breakeven at US facility constitutes a “Wright brothers moment” for fusion research, say researchers.
