China’s Scary New AI Beats Human Intelligence + The USA

Posted by in categories: government, robotics/AI

The biggest tech company in China, Jack Ma’s Alibaba has just released the biggest, most efficient and newest Artificial Intelligence Model in the world. It’s almost 100 times smarter than GPT 3 and is even expected to surpass OpenAI’s yet to be released GPT 4 in both abilities and ease of use. The Alibaba M6 is a 10 trillion parameter model which in certain aspects even beats the human brain. But more importantly, China is currently beating the USA when it comes to their machine learning and deep learning technologies which could become dangerous as their leads extend and their secret government projects slowly come to light. OpenAI, Nvidia and Deepmind have a tough road toward Artificial super intelligence in front of them. China is starting to look scary but impressive.

Increase your Internet Speed 100X! — New Internet Cable Technology

Posted by in categories: internet, robotics/AI

In this video I’ll show you how increasing your Internet Connection Speed by 100 times is possible and where that has been accomplished.
A world record fastest data transmission rate and fastest Internet Ping has been achieved by a team of University College London engineers who reached an internet speed a fifth faster than the previous record.
It’s faster tgab 100tb a second and can download or upload pretty much anything instantly.

The best part about that is that ISP’s like Google Fiber, Comcast or Verizon will have an easy time improving their Internet Connections due to the new technology using similar kind of cables to achieve this super fast internet speed.

China struggles to contain Delta variant of COVID

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health, policy

China’s zero-COVID-19 policy is showing strain as health authorities struggle to contain the growing spread of the Delta variant.
At least 1,000 locally-transmitted infections have been reported since mid-October in 20 provinces, prompting strict quarantine periods and area-specific lockdowns.
The onset of winter in China’s north is also helping disperse the disease.

Powerful New Tool Can Peer Into the Vast Genetic Library Inside of Your Cells

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, neuroscience

The human genome can be thought of as a massive library, containing over 20,000 different “instruction manuals”: your genes. For example, there are genes which contain information to build a brain cell, a skin cell, a white blood cell, and so on. There are even genes that contain information about regulating the genome itself—like books that explain how to organize a library. The ability to regulate gene expression —in other words, the cell’s ability to turn various constellations of genes on or off—is the basis of why different cells (such as a muscle cell or a brain cell) have different forms and functions.

For any library to be useful to a reader, it needs to be organized in an easily searchable way. For example, all the books pertaining to world history may be on one shelf, whereas the cookbooks may be in an entirely different section of the library. In a cellular nucleus, there is over six feet of genetic material packed into a space 50 times smaller than the width of a human hair. How is the “library” in the nucleus organized? When a cell needs to regulate certain genes, how does the cellular machinery find the right ones amongst 20,000 others?

A new paper from the laboratory of Mitchell Guttman, professor of biology, uses a powerful new tool that can peer into the world of the cell’s genetic material (DNA.
