A British startup has performed a first-of-its-kind microgravity experiment using a drone.
The company, called Gravitilab, flew its adapted quadcopter to an altitude of 2,000 feet (600 meters), where it dropped a specially designed capsule carrying scientific experiments.
General Motors may move its new Ultium battery-electric architecture from pouch to cylindrical cell batteries.
Basically I underestimated chat gpt it is Basically much more powerful than I realized not just a Jetson society but it could even bring realities like we have seen in star trek the next generation where one can ask an AI anything and it can do anything given a task. This could also bring upon a superintelligence once programmed much like a wolfram alpha is for homework but for everything. It can nearly do any job and can replace all tech jobs eventually to get to universal basic income or even bring an end to the wild west of the internet it could create a near perfect cyber defense because it could simply know everything and make everything bug free. In short it can a near God like AI to answer and do any digital task. This can make nearly all jobs eventually automated:3.
It’ll be a while before ChatGPT takes your job entirely, and in the meantime you can use it to make work life easier.
The Hell Pig or Entelodont was definitely one of the ugliest creatures ever to have lived, at least by human standards.
Nevertheless, this petrifying pig was an evolutionary success surviving for nearly 20 million years in eat-or-be-eaten prehistoric North America.

Deepmind’s AdA shows that foundation models also enable generalist systems in reinforcement learning that learn new tasks quickly.
In AI research, the term foundation model is used by some scientists to refer to large pre-trained AI models, usually based on transformer architectures. One example is OpenAI’s large language model GPT-3, which is trained to predict text tokens and can then perform various tasks through prompt engineering in a few-shot setting.
In short, a foundation model is a large AI model that, because of its generalist training with large datasets, can later perform many tasks for which it was not explicitly trained.
Users will be able to use a AI-powered tool as a companion to Google’s search engine “very soon,” says Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai.
How should we live when we know we must die? This question is posed by the first work of world literature, the Gilgamesh epic. More than 4,000 years ago, Gilgamesh set out on a quest for immortality. Like all Babylonian literature, the saga has survived only in fragments. Nevertheless, scholars have managed to bring two-thirds of the text into readable condition since it was rediscovered in the 19th century.
The Babylonians wrote in cuneiform characters on clay tablets, which have survived in the form of countless fragments. Over centuries, scholars transferred the characters imprinted on the pieces of clay onto paper. Then they would painstakingly compare their transcripts and—in the best case—recognize which fragments belong together and fill in the gaps. The texts were written in the languages Sumerian and Akkadian, which have complicated writing systems. This was a Sisyphean task, one that the experts in the Electronic Babylonian Literature project can scarcely imagine today.
Enrique Jiménez, Professor of Ancient Near Eastern Literatures at LMU’s Institute of Assyriology, and his team have been working on the digitization of all surviving cuneiform tablets since 2018. In that time, the project has processed as many as 22,000 text fragments.
A planet called Wolf 1,069 b has been found 31 light years away from Earth which has the same mass as our planet and is in the “habitable zone” due to its temperature Astronomers have found a similar sized planet to Earth which could be habitable due to the temperature and atmosphere.
