How this AI-powered auto-completer is helping developers write 25% less code

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, transportation

You might’ve seen people on the internet saying “it’s like my autocomplete gets me.” Indeed, Keyboard protection AI has come a long way so much so that it can almost complete your sentences. So, why shouldn’t developers get the benefit of auto-complete too?

For years, IDEs (Integrated Development Environment) have tried to make development quicker by predicting the next part of a developer’s code. Now, startups like Codota are using AI to help developers with code completion on any code editor.

‘Cell pores’ discovery gives hope to millions of brain and spinal cord injury patients

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

Scientists have discovered a new treatment to dramatically reduce swelling after brain and spinal cord injuries, offering hope to 75 million victims worldwide each year.

The breakthrough in treating such injuries—referred to as central nervous system (CNS) edema—is thought to be hugely significant because current options are limited to putting patients in an induced coma or performing risky surgery.

Brain and affect all age groups. Older people are more at risk of sustaining them from strokes or falls, while for younger age groups, major causes include road traffic accidents and injuries from sports such as rugby, US-style football and other contact games.

Elon Musk’s Boring Company finishes digging Las Vegas tunnels

Posted by in categories: electronics, Elon Musk

The city’s Convention and Visitors Authority is still planning to open the ‘Loop’ in January 2021, in time for the Consumer Electronics Show — if the trade show still happens, that is. The plan is to whisk passengers through the tunnels that run underneath the Las Vegas Convention Center using a mix of Model 3s, Model Xs, and a 16-passenger “tram.”

Video of black light experiment shows how fast a virus can spread in a restaurant setting

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, security

In the video, one person is designed as the “infected” patient and is given a special black light-ready solution to rub into his hands. (The solution is invisible without a black light, so participants in the demonstration can’t see it during the simulation.) Then, everyone in the experiment does what people normally do at a buffet restaurant — they dish up food, eat chat, and drink. At the end of the video, a black light is turned on, and you can see the “virus” just about everywhere. It shows up on utensils, cups, food and even on some participants’ faces.

Experts say this is definitely worth paying attention to.

“This is an accurate illustration of how many commonly touched surfaces there are and how many opportunities there are for viruses to spread,” Dr. Amesh A. Adalja, senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, tells Yahoo Life.
