The technique has enabled scientists to test a hypersonic bomber prototype in the wind tunnel.

The products are vegan-friendly, as well as free of antibiotics and pesticides.

The Israeli startup VAXA uses algae to transform renewable energy into sustainable nourishment. Microalgae can grow indoors using their vertical farming technique, regardless of the weather outside.

The sealed and bio-secured module, which is embedded with pink glowing lights (UV LEDs), enables year-round production of high-quality, pathogen-free, fresh algae with a consistent composition.

We still need to go to the gym, though.

The artificial artist Dall-E 2 has now designed the Apple Car.

A hypothetical “AI-generated Apple Car” ingeniously made use of artificial intelligence technology was created by Dall-E 2 in response to a text request by San Francisco-based industrial designer John Mauriello.

Mauriello focuses on advancing his one-of-a-kind craft by utilizing cutting-edge technologies. He typed that he wanted a minimalist sports automobile inspired by a MacBook and a Magic Mouse created out of metal and glass on DALL-E 2, an artificial intelligence system that can create realistic visuals and art from a description. Additionally, he gave the AI instructions to style the design using Jony Ive’s methods, the former head of design at Apple.

On Wednesday, OpenAI released a new open source AI model called Whisper that recognizes and translates audio at a level that approaches human recognition ability. It can transcribe interviews, podcasts, conversations, and more.

OpenAI trained Whisper on 680,000 hours of audio data and matching transcripts in 98 languages collected from the web. According to OpenAI, this open-collection approach has led to “improved robustness to accents, background noise, and technical language.” It can also detect the spoken language and translate it to English.

GitHub team has issued a warning about an ongoing phishing campaign impersonating CircleCI notifications to steal targeted users’ credentials and two.

Researchers have disclosed a new severe Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) vulnerability that could be exploited by users to access the virtual disks of other Oracle customers.

“Each virtual disk in Oracle’s cloud has a unique identifier called OCID,” Shir Tamari, head of research at Wiz, said in a series of tweets. “This identifier is not considered secret, and organizations do not treat it as such.”

“Given the OCID of a victim’s disk that is not currently attached to an active server or configured as shareable, an attacker could ‘attach’ to it and obtain read/write over it,” Tamari added.
