Did you know certain seed-heavy fruits like raspberries are actually healthier if you blend them in a smoothie?
I learned this and more while researching for my article on the best longevity recipes:
We took the top anti-aging foods and combined them into a list of the best longevity recipes to help you live a longer, tastier life.
With this success, Synchon is looking to take its experiments to the next level by adding more participants in a larger study. CEO Tom Oxley claims that their future study would focus more on ‘gathering brain data to improve the BCI.
Are Brain-Computer Interfaces the Future of Technology?
Different companies have already begun their developments and clinical trials of their brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) which need to be implanted on human test subjects, centering mostly on paraplegic patients. One of the most famous companies behind this is Elon Musk’s Neuralink, and their first patient, Noland Arbaugh, testified how the implant can help in controlling technology, and in his case, gaming.
“The new funding will allow us to double down on our leadership in frontier AI research, increase compute capacity, and continue building tools that help people solve hard problems,” https://openai.com/index/scale-the-benefits-of-ai/” rel=“noopener”>OpenAI said in its announcement of the deal on Wednesday.
The funding comes as the nine-year-old AI startup led by CEO Sam Altman faces increasing competition from the likes of https://fortune.com/company/alphabet/”>Google, Meta, and other AI startups, and at a time when OpenAI is dealing with its own growing pains—most famously, a boardroom coup last year in which Altman was briefly fired and then reinstated in a span of five days.
Since then, the company has been roiled by a https://fortune.com/2024/09/26/mira-murati-exit-openai-altma…ors-coup/”>string of high-level departures as it seeks to https://fortune.com/2024/09/13/sam-altman-openai-non-profit-…ext-year/”>evolve from its roots as a nonprofit research lab to a producer of commercial products capitalizing on the industrywide AI gold rush. Last month, OpenAI chief technology officer Mira Murati unexpectedly resigned to “create the time and space to do my own exploration.” And as Fortune reported this week, some insiders have voiced concerns that the https://fortune.com/2024/10/01/openai-sam-altman-mira-murati…ent-year/”>company’s commitment to safety has taken a back seat in the rush to release new products ahead of rivals.
A pair of Harvard students successfully rigged Meta-formerly-Facebook and Ray Ban’s smart glasses with facial recognition software.
People genetically adapted to diving, 13 min. is a record, not average for them, they are exceptional anyway.
Picture yourself holding your breath. How long can you last underwater? A minute? Two? You probably imagined yourself sitting a foot or so beneath the surface of a pool during this exercise, but consider how long you can hold your breath actively swimming as deep below the surface of the ocean as you can go. This would probably look like maybe 30 seconds of swimming down followed by a rush to the surface. The Bajau people of the Philippines, though, according to reports, could quite confidently imagine swimming 200 feet below the ocean surface for up to 13 minutes.
These abilities aren’t merely the result of dedicated training. The Bajau people have lived their lives at sea for generations, so much so that they’ve developed special adaptations to their oceanic lifestyle.
In collaboration with the National Museums of Kenya and with financial contributions from the British Council Cultural Protection Fund, ICCROM is engaged in a community-centred project focused on the long-term preservation of fossil footprints that date back to approximately 1.5 million years ago. The fossil was found in Ileret, a village on the northeastern shore of Lake Turkana, Kenya.
🙄 I spend my nights riding, and thinking of ideas of how to save lives. AI and disruptive tech in my opinion will not replace jobs. It will make jobs much easier, through augmenting what a human can do like this.

A quantum sensing experiment now has the potential to identify single gravitons — the particles that make up gravity — which was considered impossible until now. A team led by Stevens professor Igor Pikovski has recently proposed a method to detect individual gravitons, believed to be the quantum building blocks of gravity. They suggest that with advancements in quantum technology, this experiment could become a reality in the near future.
Imagine being able to create incredibly tiny structures with the same ease and sustainability as printing on paper.
This is the frontier of microfabrication—the process of making microscopic structures that are crucial for the operation of everything from computer chips to medical devices.

Lone Wolf rifle, with infrared and thermal vision, detects aerial threats using cutting-edge targeting tech.
Possibly equipped with an AR-15/M16-pattern rifle, the robot dog appears to be a Ghost Robotics Vision 60 quadrupedal-unmanned ground vehicle (Q-UGV).
The testing was conducted at Red Sands Integrated Experimentation Center in Saudi Arabia.
