Letting AI models communicate with each other in their internal mathematical language, rather than translating back and forth to English, could accelerate their task-solving abilities.
The United States Food and Drug Administration has just approved the first-ever clinical trial that uses CRISPR-Cas13 RNA editing. Its aim is to treat an eye disease called wet age-related macular degeneration that causes vision loss in millions of older people worldwide.
This trial marks a new frontier in gene therapy —the process of treating or curing medical conditions by changing a person’s genes.
What makes it special is the fact the therapy targets RNA, instead of DNA. So, what does that mean, and why should we be excited?
Arthritis, intense exercise, and sugary or fatty foods are some of the things that can lead to inflammation. Here’s what you can take or add to your diet to help fight it.
Heeding those sentiments, the Australian Army is strategically investing in technological innovation to find better solutions to the complex logistics challenges they face in managing the efficient and safe deployment of personnel and equipment on the battlefield. For a difficult class of problems in an area called “optimization”, quantum computing is on the roadmap for exploration.
With the help of our quantum infrastructure software, they’ve now been able to test and validate a quantum computing solution on real hardware that promises to outperform their existing methods.

We can already tinker with human DNA to treat diseases. But being able to edit RNA allows for even more precision – and fewer risks.
Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is an infectious disease caused by fever, runny nose, sore throat, muscle pain, headache, coughing, and fatigue. These symptoms begin one to four (typically two) days after exposure to the virus and last for about two to eight days. Diarrhea and vomiting can occur, particularly in children. may progress to pneumonia from the virus or a subsequent bacterial infection. Other complications include acute respiratory distress syndrome, meningitis, encephalitis, and worsening of pre-existing health problems such as asthma and cardiovascular disease.
There are four types of virus: types A, B, C, and D. Aquatic birds are the primary source of epidemics, and C virus causes a mild infection, primarily in children. D virus can infect humans but is not known to cause illness. In humans, viruses are primarily transmitted through respiratory droplets from coughing and sneezing. Transmission through aerosols and surfaces contaminated by the virus also occur.
Frequent hand washing and covering one’s mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing reduce transmission, as does wearing a mask. Annual vaccination can help to provide protection against viruses, particularly A virus, evolve quickly, so flu vaccines are updated regularly to match which strains are in circulation. Vaccines provide protection against A virus subtypes H1N1 and H3N2 and one or two B virus subtypes. infection is diagnosed with laboratory methods such as antibody or antigen tests and a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to identify viral nucleic acid. The disease can be treated with supportive measures and, in severe cases, with antiviral drugs such as oseltamivir. In healthy individuals, is typically self-limiting and rarely fatal, but it can be deadly in high-risk groups.
So, is it true…
As I say, Carlson was roundly criticized for his comments. Some of that criticism was entirely justified, although much of it was not. And in any case, Longoria will not be criticized at all for her statements, in part because she’s a leftist and, thus, above criticism, and in part because she, like Carlson, has a point. Public spaces in American cities are, in most cases, grotesque. That’s almost inarguable. Among other things, Tucker was bashed because he made what seemed to be a partisan argument. He was clearly and undeniably criticizing urban Democratic politics and policies. The irony here is that Longoria was too, although neither she nor any of her supporters and fans understand that.
As Democrats continue their soul-searching, and as media and other analysts try to dissect the causes of the enormous Republican victory not quite two weeks ago, one lesson will likely go unlearned. The American people really do want their country to be great again. To them, that doesn’t mean that the United States should be an omnipotent global colossus, striding the globe, enforcing its will on everyone and everything. And it doesn’t mean that Americans should win every gold medal at every Olympics or every Nobel Prize or anything like that. Americans just want their country to work again. They just want their cities to function. They want to be able to build homes or power plants or new factories without having to spend countless months and endless resources complying with arcane and ridiculous regulations. They want their country to look and feel and operate like a normal place again.
For at least the last 60 years, American cities have been governed not for the benefit of their residents but for the benefit of political power consolidation. Cities are managed specifically to ensure the application of ideological principles and the maintenance of the partisan status quo. In other words, New York, Chicago, and San Francisco (and practically every city in between) are experiments in liberal-left policies and Democratic machine politics. They are run of, by, and for the machines and their ideological solons, not for the people who live there.
The U.S. faces a critical cybersecurity threat as quantum computers edge closer to disrupting the cryptographic systems that secure vital government and infrastructure data, according to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report.
U.S. faces significant cybersecurity risks from quantum computing due to leadership gaps and an incomplete national strategy.
