Cathie Wood Has an Alarming Prediction Regarding Amazon’s Robot: Human Ratio

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

With ChatGPT all over the news and more companies turning to various forms of automation to make their operations run more smoothly, it’s understandable that those who fear their jobs could be replaced by robots are feeling some anxiety lately.

Naturally, the companies fastest to embrace this technology are those that can afford it. Amazon announced the introduction of fully autonomous robots into its warehouses in June 2022. But the company has been using robotics since 2012, when it acquired order fulfillment company Kiva Systems for $775 million.

Ominous Green Lasers Shot Over Hawaii Didn’t Come From NASA Satellite After All

Posted by in category: space

Above the islands of Hawaii o n January 28, a green laser was seen piercing the night sky, silently tracing a path towards the horizon like a stutter in the Matrix’s code.

The scene was caught on camera from a telescope atop Hawaii’s tallest peak.

Harnessing the power of GPT-3 in scientific research

Posted by in category: security

Check out all the on-demand sessions from the Intelligent Security Summit here.

Since its launch in 2020, Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) has been the talk of the town. The powerful large language model (LLM) trained on 45 TB of text data has been used to develop new tools across the spectrum — from getting code suggestions and building websites to performing meaning-driven searches. The best part? You just have to enter commands in plain language.

GPT-3’s emergence has also heralded a new era in scientific research. Since the LLM can process vast amounts of information quickly and accurately, it has opened up a wide range of possibilities for researchers: generating hypotheses, extracting information from large datasets, detecting patterns, simplifying literature searches, aiding the learning process and much more.

Autofluorescence-free, imaging-guided precision therapy for rheumatoid arthritis

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension, nanotechnology

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), known as “immortal cancer,” is a chronic, progressive autoimmune inflammatory disease. The development and application of an RA high-sensitivity theranostics probe can help to accurately monitor the progression and realize the efficient treatment of RA.

In a study published in Advanced Science, a research group led by Prof. Zhang Yun from Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a dual-triggered theranostics based on persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) for RA autofluorescence-free imaging-guided precise treatment and therapeutic evaluation.

The researchers first prepared a renewable near-infrared (NIR)-emitting Zn1.3 Ga1.4 Sn0.3 O4:0.5%Cr3+, 0.3%Y3+ (ZGSO) PLNPs by a facile mesoporous silica template method.

SpaceX ignites giant Starship rocket in crucial pad test

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, space travel

SpaceX is a big step closer to sending its giant Starship spacecraft into orbit, completing an engine-firing test at the launch pad on Thursday.

Thirty-one of the 33 first-stage booster engines ignited simultaneously for about 10 seconds in south Texas. The team turned off one engine before sending the firing command and another engine shut down — “but still enough engines to reach orbit!” tweeted SpaceX’s Elon Musk.

Musk estimates Starship’s first orbital test flight could occur as soon as March, if the test analyses and remaining preparations go well.
