Tesla Begins Rolling Out FSD (Supervised) Early Access Program in the U.S.

Tesla is now shipping the Full Self-Driving (FSD) (Supervised) Early Access Program to the USA. This is a big step forward in Tesla’s work to improve and project its autonomous driving technology. Tesla expects that the capability will eventually extend to all FSD owners in North America, letting them try out pre-release versions of the automaker’s most sophisticated automotive-driving-assistance software.

Enrolling in this program will allow Tesla owners to test out high-end upgrades before the rest of the public gains access. Most importantly, participants will offer useful info and vehicle data that will aid in refining and fine-tuning future versions.

Scientists Are Mapping the Boundaries of What Is Knowable and Unknowable

“I give you God’s view,” said Toby Cubitt, a physicist turned computer scientist at University College London and part of the vanguard of the current charge into the unknowable, and “you still can’t predict what it’s going to do.”

Eva Miranda, a mathematician at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) in Spain, calls undecidability a “next-level chaotic thing.”

Undecidability means that certain questions simply cannot be answered. It’s an unfamiliar message for physicists, but it’s one that mathematicians and computer scientists know well. More than a century ago, they rigorously established that there are mathematical questions that can never be answered, true statements that can never be proved. Now physicists are connecting those unknowable mathematical systems with an increasing number of physical ones and thereby beginning to map out the hard boundary of knowability in their field as well.

New antibiotic drug is a ‘massive game changer’ for people with chronic lower back pain

Chronic lower back pain is one of the top complaints that sends Americans to their doctors — and it’s a leading cause of missed workdays and disability claims.

While slipped discs, arthritis and spinal problems are often blamed, for some, the real culprit is an infection. Now, there’s hope on the horizon for these patients.

Early clinical trial results indicate a new antibiotic drug could treat — or even cure — the infection. Experts are hailing it as a “massive gamechanger” with the potential to drastically improve the quality of life for those suffering from chronic lower back pain.

Scientists release plans for an even bigger atom smasher to address the mysteries of physics

Top minds at the world’s largest atom smasher have released a blueprint for a much bigger successor that could vastly improve research into the remaining enigmas of physics.

The plans for the Future Circular Collider—a nearly 91-kilometer (56.5-mile) loop along the French-Swiss border and below Lake Geneva—published late Monday put the finishing details on a project roughly a decade in the making at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.

The FCC would carry out high-precision experiments in the mid-2040s to study “known physics” in greater detail, then enter a second phase—planned for 2070—that would conduct high-energy collisions of protons and heavy ions that would “open the door to the unknown,” said Giorgio Chiarelli, a research director at Italy’s National Institute of Nuclear Physics.
