without refrigerant
Yes, they say this does away with the need for compressors or refrigerants.
“This cools by using electrons to move heat through specialized semiconductor materials, eliminating the need for moving parts or challenging coolant liquids.”
79% of 16-21 year olds say technology companies should be required by law to build robust privacy safeguards into technology and platforms used by children and teenagers.
This is another illustration of the huge divide between Big Tech and everyone else. Big Tech wants total freedom from regulation with no accountability for any damage or costs to others they cause. The general population overwhelmingly feels the opposite. Thanks to their ability to line politician’s pockets, it’s Big Tech who usually wins out.
In Britain’s case, desperate to get a trade deal with the US, it’s been dangling the offer of even less regulation on tech & AI.
‘Tele ops’ stands for teleoperations, meaning that Tesla employees will be able to remotely access Tesla’s vehicles and operate them in some capacity.
Alternative headline - ‘Tesla behind industry leaders, again.’
It’s depressing that this is to dig more fossil fuels out of the ground.
then prescriptions should be done away with and all drugs should be available.
It used to be the way the world was. The result was huge amounts of addiction (laudanum was 10% opium), and gullible people being peddled snake oil.
The bill, which was passed by the state legislature on April 29 and is expected to be signed by Governor Greg Gianforte, essentially expands on existing Right to Try legislation in the state.
The same people who are denying abortions & medical care to trans people, are all for “freedom” and right to choose when it comes to other people’s medical choices?
…in a similar way as with conventional rental cars – which can be hired to transport people to “a range of destinations, including cultural landmarks and urban tourist attractions.”
Baidu, like everyone else, still hasn’t got to true Level 5 self-driving. But it doesn’t need Level 5 to be offering services like this. If you have mapped out the 100 most popular destinations in a city, and fixed routes between them, then level 4 self-driving like they have now, is all you need.
This isn’t the same as a regular rental car you can drive anywhere, but many people would be happy with a car that covers a city’s Top 100 spots. How does this differ from a taxi? Seemingly that you rent it for specified time slots, whether you’re in the car driving or not.
No mention of which cities, just that they’ll be outside China & the US.
Yes, Meta are 2nd, I amended the text.
I’m pretty sure in Trump’s addled brain he thinks if the US gets a human on Mars first & plants the US flag, he can claim the whole planet as belonging to the US.
The accuracy rate will improve, sadly most of the developing word barely recycles anything.
Yes, for once taking the jobs humans don’t want.
Unless they are trained otherwise, AI will pick up all the biases in its training data. So far, as that’s the content of the entire internet, I’m not surprised at this outcome. I’d guess AI training is the next battleground for the woke/anti-DEI crowd, so they can preserve these prejudices.
It often tends to be forgotten, but solar energy has a twin - renewable lunar energy - harnessing the power of the tides. Not everywhere in the world is suited to it. However, this company says there’s enough of it to meet 10% of global electricity demand. Some places are especially well suited, and they point out Alaska could get 100% of its electricity from tidal power.
For sure, I find it very useful for those purposes. But I think it says something significant so many people are using it for companionship.
This is a tentative result, it’s only one patient, and large scale trials would be needed to confirm it. Still, if it is confirmed it’s a significant breakthrough. HuidaGene is also working on treatments for Huntington’s Disease, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD among other diseases. It’s also working on various Ophthalmology related conditions.
I pretty sure that is the tariffs, this doesn’t look like its replacing 20,000 just yet.
The big caveat here is that ‘cured in lab tests’ and a viable human treatment are two different things, and sadly the former doesn’t always lead to the latter. Still, this points to what may work in the future. Just how much of our tissue could be replaced by brand new 3-d printed tissue?
We tend to focus on the many bad effects of AI, but its doing, and will do, plenty of good too.
Their findings were published in the peer-reviewed journal, Nature.
