This is only in 4 patients so far yet the results look amazing. 20 million people globally are living with some form of spinal cord injury. Hopefully insights gained from this work will quickly mean treatments for what was once seen as incurable.

I always thought network states were just online communities

Perhaps for some, but the idea of making them physical territories has always been there too, and arguably is the idea in the ascendant now.

From Galileo to Newton to Einstein, we've so many times had our ideas of the Universe completely and utterly upended. It seems to me when people talk about dark matter and dark energy, they're just tinkering with current ideas. When we really find the explanation, our ideas of what reality is will be completely shaken once again.

Rock From Mars has reached Earth so many times via asteroid ejecta, I assume the opposite has happened. In which case if there is life there surely the probability is it comes from Earth?

I wonder how long before the AI investor bubble bursts? OpenAI are still talking about raising hundreds of billions of dollars.

Exactly, At best, it's a stay of execution.

According to the scientists, knowledge about the role of NEAT1 methylation in the recognition and repair of DNA damage could open up new therapeutic options for tumors with high NEAT1 expression. However, it must first be clarified whether these results, which were obtained in simple cell systems, can also be transferred to complex tumor models.

I wonder is AI developments can speed up this process of going from lab to (hopefully) a therapeutic treatment that is available.

How are we supposed to police this? A vast global Orwellian monitoring system seems even worse.

Indeed, Israel, for one, already uses Made-in-America AI models in war.

Indiscriminately murdering dozens of children a day has been a real advertisement of how brilliant these are.

I believe so. Geely are Chinese. Even with tariffs, I suspect its Chinese EVs that are going to dominate in robotaxis.

I'm guessing if you were going to be able to travel at Mach 16, an entirely new type of airplane architecture, built with new types of material is going to be needed.

Yes, I think that is what the problem is here. Some people used to have the idea that more scaling would be enough for reasoning to appear, but that hasn't happened.
