The classic gets an electric upgrade.
Giant squids can grow as long as 43 feet and dwell in the deep sea. Sightings are very rare, but in 2012, a diver swam right next to one in Japan.
MONTREAL — A team of researchers from the Montreal Heart Institute believe they have found an effective weapon against COVID-19: colchicine, an oral tablet already known and used for other diseases.
For Dr. Jean-Claude Tardif, who led the study, this is a “major scientific discovery,” he said. Colchicine is the first “effective oral drug to treat out-of-hospital patients.”
“To be able to offer this, from Quebec, and for the planet, we are very happy,” said Tardif.
DNA Storage Goes Biological

DNA is already known to be an ideal storage medium. Why not use cells to do the hard work?
Alibaba is one of the best places around to find the coolest and sometimes weirdest electric vehicles in the world. As part of a new series known as Awesomely weird Alibaba electric vehicle of the week, we’re taking a look at some of our favorites.
This week’s feature is a small-yet-mighty electric pickup truck designed for utility and off-road usage, though it may even be street legal as an NEV in the US.
If the proportions look at bit odd on this electric pickup truck, that’s because they are.
We review a selection of new aircraft on the market, including turbine-powered long-range and super midsized offerings, twin and single-engine turboprops, single-engine experimental and tailwheel aircraft, and light sport aircraft.
The Raspberry Pi Pico GPIO is our way to connect components and devices which we can use in our experiments, Here we create a motion sensor project using a sensor and an LED.
AI to the Future
Posted in robotics/AI, singularity, transportation
From self-driving cars, to the many automated production processes we will end up creating; we will allow AI drive us into the next era of human civilization.
We will allow the creation to create, and according to futurist and technologists’ world over, there is only one likely path where this road will lead to — the Singularity (the point where computer intelligence surpasses human intelligence).
- The Above is an excerpt from the book, 2020s & The Future Beyond.
Will be happy to hear the thoughts of group members.

I like this idea. I don’t want AI to be a black box, I want to know what’s happening and how its doing it.
The field of artificial intelligence has created computers that can drive cars, synthesize chemical compounds, fold proteins, and detect high-energy particles at a superhuman level.
However, these AI algorithms cannot explain the thought processes behind their decisions. A computer that masters protein folding and also tells researchers more about the rules of biology is much more useful than a computer that folds proteins without explanation.
Therefore, AI researchers like me are now turning our efforts toward developing AI algorithms that can explain themselves in a manner that humans can understand. If we can do this, I believe that AI will be able to uncover and teach people new facts about the world that have not yet been discovered, leading to new innovations.
