Lung cancer pill outperforms chemotherapy in clinical trials

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Lung cancer is the third most common cancer in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Patients may be treated by a variety of approved immunotherapies and chemotherapies if surgery is not an option.

An oral pill for lung cancer named Lumakras, made by Amgen, shows promise for lung cancer patients who have tried many other treatments already with little improvement.

In phase 3 clinical trials, patients with non-small cell lung cancer received Lumakras or intravenous chemotherapy (docetaxel). The patients may have tried other treatments like immunotherapy.

Does Cosmic Fine-Tuning Demand Explanation? | Episode 1208 | Closer To Truth

Posted by in categories: alien life, physics

The universe works for us because of deep physical laws. But if the values of these laws change much, then all we see and know could not exist. If small changes to the laws of physics would make life impossible, does fine-tuning require an explanation? Featuring interviews with Bernard Carr, David Deutsch, Richard Swinburne, Rodney Holder, and Christopher Isham.

Season 12, Episode 8 — #CloserToTruth.

JUST HAPPENED! Elon Musk FINALLY Trialed Neuralink On Humans!

🔔 Subscribe now with all notifications on for more Elon Musk, SpaceX and Tesla videos!Elon musk has finally tried neuralink on humans! But what is this neuralink? And how much effect will it have on us?The existence of Neuralink was first made public in 2017, when The Wall Street Journal reported on it. The company’s first significant public appearance was in 2019, when Elon Musk and other members of the Neuralink leadership team demonstrated their technology in a live streamed presentation. Neuralink’s chip is roughly the size of a penny and would be implanted in a person’s skull. An array of tiny wires, each nearly 20 times thinner than a human hair, spread out from the chip and into the patient’s brain. The cables include 1,024 electrodes that can monitor brain activity and, potentially, electrically activate the brain. This data is wirelessly transferred by the chip to computers, where it may be examined by researchers. A stiff needle, similar to a sewing machine, would be used to punch the flexible wires emerging from a Neuralink chip into a person’s brain. In January 2021, Neuralink produced a video displaying the robot.
Musk claims that the machine will make implanting Neuralink electrodes as simple as LASIK eye surgery. While this is an audacious assertion, neuroscientists told Insider in 2019 that the machine has several extremely promising aspects.📺 Watch the entire video for more information!#elon #musk #neuralink #spacex #tesla #elonmusk.

Sierra Space’s Dream Chaser to explore point-to-point cargo delivery for US military

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, military, space travel

It could support non-combat activities such as humanitarian relief operations and medical missions.

Commercial space company Sierra Space, which is developing the shuttle-shaped Dream Chaser spacecraft for transportation solutions, has signed an agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) transportation command for point-to-point global terrestrial delivery of military materiel and personnel.

Both organizations will develop solutions using the Dream Chaser spaceplanes, Shooting Star cargo modules, and on-orbit infrastructure that provides unique capabilities for precise, cost-effective, and timely global delivery of Department of Defense logistics and personnel through space.

AI may destroy humanity, DeepMind scientists claim in co-authored paper

Posted by in categories: existential risks, robotics/AI

The paper argues that AI may want to take control and do its own thing.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been making impressive progress and has, in many ways, improved the world. But could it become dangerous? A new paper co-authored by the University of Oxford and Google DeepMind researchers published last month in the peer-reviewed AI Magazine.

Ferrari unveils its most utilitarian vehicle in over 70 years, but doesn’t call it an SUV

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

The carmaker keeps the prancing horse spirit alive in its first four-door vehicle.

Italian luxury carmaker Ferrari has a long history of making luxury sports cars. So, when the company unveiled its most utilitarian vehicle in its 75-year history, CEO Benedetto Vinga had only one request, “Please don’t call it a SUV, because it isnt”, Bloomberg.

Founded in 1947, Ferrari is synonymous with cars that remain closer to the ground and faster than its competitors. Most patrons and admirers of the vehicles would rather see their favorite carmaker not release new cars than see its DNA diluted to satisfy the passenger vehicle segment.

Cool Job: Meet the engineer who designs the sounds for Audi’s EVs

Posted by in categories: sustainability, transportation

“We think that each car needs to sound for itself.”

It was roughly six years ago when Audi started designing bold soundtracks for its growing line of hybrids and EVs. Why did the 111-year-old carmaker need custom sounds for its forward-looking product line? It all comes down to one thing: electric vehicles are practically silent, even when traveling at high speeds.

Slowing of continental shift could be the cause of major volcanic extinction events

Posted by in categories: climatology, existential risks

For the first time, volcanologists reveal to IE real-time observations of the deepest parts of a volcanic system.

Scientists from the University of Iceland and the Icelandic Meteorological Office, Reykjavik, have presented unexpected observations of seismic activity and magma movements before and during the 2021 Fagradalsfjall volcanic eruption, according to a pair of papers published in Nature.

The insights could provide a boost in understanding the processes that drove the unusually ‘silent’ eruption and for future monitoring of volcanic activity. This is critical for creating warnings to prevent loss of life and damage to infrastructure. Beboy_ltd.
