A patient in New Zealand became the first person to receive the biotech’s medicine, which uses base editing to turn off a specific gene in the liver and thereby lower cholesterol.
A group of over 1,000 AI researchers has created a multilingual large language model bigger than GPT-3—and they’re giving it out for free.
If you live near a river and want clean energy to power your home, we have great news for you. Belgian company Turbulent has created a fish-friendly whirlpool turbine that can be installed in only one week.
The innovative turbine can provide energy 24 hours a day for dozens of homes by being installed in most rivers and canals. It also delivers low-cost power as the generator just uses flowing water to produce energy.

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are already far superior to humans in some tasks, such as playing Go or processing enormous amounts of data, yet even just a few months after we are born, AI is still far behind us in many other areas.
For instance, even very young kids instinctively understand that an object shouldn’t disappear and then reappearance somewhere else. Babies react with amazement when they witness such a magic trick.
Summary: Study reveals those who microdosed psilocybin for 30 days showed greater improvements in mood, mental health, and psychomotor abilities than those who did not microdose. The findings have positive implications for the use of psychedelics to help treat mental health disorders.

The latest study to examine how tiny amounts of psychedelics can impact mental health provides further evidence of the therapeutic potential of microdosing.
Scientists and astronomers have been busy at work to monitor the sky, and they have updated the course of an asteroid that was meant to strike Earth.
While it may seem a bit silly to think about an asteroid hitting the planet in 2052, the 2021 QM1 hitting Earth would be devastating. The asteroid is said to be 50 meters or 150 feet in diameter. Should it impact, it would have a force of six tons of TNT. To put that in perspective, it would be 400 times more powerful than the atomic bombs that had been dropped on Hiroshima. That would certainly be enough to destroy a large city and much more. There had been a 12-megaton asteroid that hit Earth over a remote part of the Siberia region. The impact flattened over 830 miles of forest, and three people were said to have died because of the impact. However, if that impact happened anywhere that was populated, that entire city, town, or state would essentially have been wiped off the map.
The 2021 QM1 had initially been discovered in August of 2021 at the Mount Lemmon observatory. It was discovered along with a dozen other asteroids. However, during Asteroid Day 2022 which took place in June of 2022, the ESA (European Space Agency) deemed that the 2021 QM1 asteroid would be completely safe and not strike the earth. Another asteroid by the name 2022, AE1, was also said to be on a collision course with the planet before it was recently deemed safe as well. The 70-meter asteroid is said to strike the moon before it would hit our planet. That might not seem like good news, considering the moon being destroyed might cause significant other damage to the planet, but it’s still good news.
Thankfully, there are scientists and astronomers that revolve their lives around studying the trajectory of rogue asteroids. They are meant to alert the planet should we be in any imminent danger. However, would the public go a bit crazy if they knew a giant asteroid was catapulting straight to Earth? Hopefully, they would not. Mass hysteria is always something to think about when there is a credible threat that cannot be vanquished by our modern technology.
Two heads are better than one: new electric truck from Tevva deploys hydrogen fuel cell and battery technology for maximum efficiency.
TensorFlow.NET is a library that provides a. NET Standard binding for TensorFlow. It allows. NET developers to design, train and implement machine learning algorithms, including neural networks. Tensorflow. NET also allows us to leverage various machine learning models and access the programming resources offered by TensorFlow.
TensorFlow
TensorFlow is an open-source framework developed by Google scientists and engineers for numerical computing. It is composed by a set of tools for designing, training and fine-tuning neural networks. TensorFlow’s flexible architecture makes it possible to deploy calculations on one or more processors (CPUs) or graphics cards (GPUs) on a personal computer, server, without re-writing code.
