Conquering space is among the main challenges humanity now has — and the huge number of discoveries made in recent decades suggests that nothing is impossible. Tourism beyond Earth is already gaining popularity, and this sector will evolve soon. However, simply enjoying the space views may become boring shortly, and travellers will search for alternative entertainment options. It’s now pretty early to ask whether people will be able to build a land-based casino on the Moon, but some experiences may become available in the near future. The iGaming sector is rapidly evolving, leaving offline settings behind. We can predict that space gambling will begin from top-rated slot games not on GamStop, which are widely accessible globally. Casino platforms have a vast growth potential nowadays, so what would prevent people from using them when enjoying space tourism?

The first bet beyond the Earth has already been placed — this significant event happened in 2021 when Jared Isaacman, the Inspiration 4x commander, wagered on the NFL. Although it may take a while for such betting experiences to become more widespread, the beginning has already been made.

What is time? Is it just a ticking clock, or is it something more profound?

In this thought-provoking episode of Into the Impossible, Stephen Wolfram challenges everything we know about time, offering a revolutionary computational perspective that could forever change how we understand the universe.

Stephen Wolfram is a computer scientist, physicist, and businessman. He is the founder and CEO of Wolfram Research and the creator of Mathematica, Wolfram Alpha, and Wolfram Language. Over the course of 4 decades, he has pioneered the development & application of computational thinking. He has been responsible for many discoveries, inventions & innovations in science, technology, and business.

A Sweden-based firm has launched a plasma confinement project to achieve commercially viable fusion energy.

The TauEB project by Novatron Fusion Group aims to revolutionize plasma confinement and energy containment in fusion reactors.

Novatron’s project will introduce a first-of-its-kind integration of three physical confinement techniques, which will include Magnetic Confinement, Ambipolar Plugging, and Ponderomotive Confinement.

Author(s): Yuki Shizuya Originally published on Towards AI. Photo by gilber franco on UnsplashRecently, I needed to research image similarity search. I wonder if there are any differences among embeddings based on the architecture training methods. However, few blogs compare embeddings among several models. So, in this blog, I will compare the vision embeddings of EfficientNet [1], ViT [2], DINO-v2 [3], CLIP [4], and BLIP-2 [5] for image similarity search using the Flickr dataset [6]. I will mainly use Huggingface and Faiss libraries for implementation. First, I will briefly introduce each deep learning model. Next, I will show you the code implementation and the comparison results.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a diaphragmatic defect that is usually situated on the left side in the posterolateral region, named a Bochdalek hernia (BH), which allows abdominal organs to herniate into the thoracic cavity. BH is a prevalently observed birth anomaly in infants but is rare in adults. Right-sided BH that involves the colon is exceptionally rare, and no prior cases have described ileocecal appendix involvement. Here, we present a case of a preschooler with a right-sided BH and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), requiring distinct surgical approaches: left open thoracotomy for PDA ligation and right open thoracotomy for CDH repair. Surgical intervention is associated with reduced morbidity and mortality, favorable long-term outcomes, and a low recurrence rate, irrespective of the selected approach.
