Je vesmír plný ultralehkých primordiálních černých děr?

Tvoří temnou hmotu primordiální černé díry? Ta šance se neustále snižuje. Experimenty, důmyslné paleodetektory a pozorování gravitačních mikročoček neustále ukrajují prostor, v němž bychom mohli primordiální černé díry najít. Nejnovějším nápadem jsou ultralehké primordiální černé díry. Je to ale s tolika otazníky, že to připomíná spíš hospodský kvíz než vědeckou hypotézu. http://www.osel.cz/13462-je-vesmir-plny-ultralehkych-primordialnich-cernych-der.html

Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk’s tech bromance takes another weird turn

The relationship between Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey is such an on-again, off-again event that it seems like something out of a television sitcom. And after criticizing Musk’s leadership of Twitter just last year, Dorsey seemed to throw his weight behind that platform over the weekend.

Dorsey, on Saturday, announced (in a one-word reply to someone else’s twe

Democrats tread carefully when using AI

President Joe Biden‘s campaign and Democratic candidates are in a fevered race with Republicans over who can best exploit the potential of artificial intelligence, a technology that could transform American elections—and perhaps threaten democracy itself.

Why ‘adult gap years’ may not work for the terminally online

Adult gap years are having a moment.

Last month, the Associated Press published a story about so-called mini sabbaticals, wherein people are leaving a job or making the most out of long-term unemployment. Doing so can greatly improve one’s mental health, according to the AP story, and can hel

Is giving Elon Musk a $56 billion compensation package—the most in history—the ‘fair’ thing to do?

Over the past couple of weeks, Tesla shareholders have been casting their ballots in one of the odder shareholder votes in corporate history: a vote to reinstate a massive $56 billion compensation package (the biggest in history) for Elon Musk that was put in place back in 2018 but was then thrown out by a Delaware judge in January. What makes the vote—the resu

Humanity faces two existential crises — the climate crisis and AI. Can one help solve the other?


As I write this, two contrasting regulations on the development of artificial intelligence — namely generative AI — are making their way through the European and British parliaments. The British approach is very simple — looking to ensure AI com

A lawsuit against Meta wants to give users an external tool to control their Facebook feed

3 hidden but powerful Microsoft Edge time savers

You’d be forgiven for using your favorite web browser day in and day out without really delving too deeply into its more esoteric features—especially since Microsoft Edge has plenty of well documented productivity power-ups to play with.

There are a few Edge features, however, that have been flying under the radar. That’s a shame, since they’re each

Dlouho očekávaná excitace jádra thoria-229 zkřížila jadernou a kvantovou fyziku

Atomy nebo molekuly je možné poměrně snadno excitovat laserem. S atomovými jádry je to mnohem obtížnější. Je k tomu nutná obrovská energie a konvenční postupy s lasery nestačí. Fyzici sice dlouho věděli o výjimečném jádru thoria-229, s nímž to mělo být mnohem snazší než s jinými jádry, ale i to se ukázalo jako extrémně tvrdý oříšek. Nicméně, je hotovo. http://www.osel.cz/13461-dlouho-ocekavana-excitace-jadra-thoria-229-zkrizila-jadernou-a-kvantovou-fyziku.html

Časté katastrofy posilují odolnost lidských populací

Studie 30 tisíc let historie lidských populací na 16 místech planety odhalila, že když jsou lidé více zkoušeni osudem, jsou pak jejich populace více odolné proti katastrofám, a když už jsou zasaženy neštěstím, snadněji se z toho dostanou. Co nás nezabije, to nás posílí, i když pro konkrétní lidi postižené neštěstím je to jen malá útěcha. http://www.osel.cz/13459-caste-katastrofy-posiluji-odolnost-lidskych-populaci.html

Your iPhone is about to become an ‘AI phone.’ What to expect from Apple’s iOS 18

After a long delay, Apple is gearing up, finally, to embrace artificial intelligence in a big way on the iPhone. The company is expected to show off new AI-powered features for the iPhone’s upcoming operating system, iOS 18, next month at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference.

Thanks to AI, we’re in the golden age of freelancing

As white-collar work gets increasingly automated, you might assume that freelancers would be the first to feel the impact. Indeed, researchers found a 21% decrease in the number of freelance job postings for automation-prone jobs after the rollout of ChatGPT. But there are two sides to this story. We’re witnessing a class stratification in modern freelancing. And, according to our latest research, highly-skilled

Apple’s share buyback is the largest in U.S. history. Here’s what that means

Yesterday, Apple revealed earnings for its fiscal second quarter. While iPhone sales were down almost 10%, the company’s revenues and earnings per share beat expectations, albeit slightly.

Here’s what to know about it.

The House’s AI Task Force leader says regulation can’t be rushed

California Congressman Jay Obernolte has his work cut out for him.

DARPA vypustila masivní robotickou ponorku Manta Ray

Američtí vojenští vývojáři DARPA vyvinuli velké autonomní podmořské plavidlo Manta Ray, které svým názvem ani designem nezapře podobnost s elegantními parybami. Informací je poskrovnu, ale Manta Ray se nejspíš připravuje na náročné dlouhodobější mise pod mořskou hladinou.

IT sector and firms in Colorado and DC are driving AI use, Census Bureau researchers say

The rate of businesses in the U.S. using AI is still relatively small but growing rapidly, with firms in information technology, and in locations like Colorado and the District of Columbia, leading the way, according to a new paper from U.S. Census Bureau researchers.
