Given the choice between an experimental DK3 and the absolute license-to-print-money that were Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings, it wasn't a difficult decision. Dungeon Keeper 3 was cancelled, and we were moved on to other things.
Here we report '3D necroprinting,' a biohybrid manufacturing technique that repurposes female mosquito proboscides as high-resolution 3D printing nozzles. The mosquito proboscis, with its unique geometry, structure, and mechanics, enables printed line widths as fine as 20 μm, surpassing commercially available 36-gauge dispense tips by ~100%.
While certainly a welcome addition to consoles, general-purpose web browsers on game consoles are no longer as coveted of a feature as they once were. Time has moved on, and with it has brought cheap web-capable devices and budget television dongles with pre-installed browser apps. No longer is the web a place one must venture to, for it is instead with us at all times.
Instead of a mere pipe, they want to create 'spaces' where users can hold group conversations, host information on a server, collectively make changes to it, invite in new collaborators or kick them out, all while maintaining the same strong encryption protections that prevent the server or network eavesdroppers from accessing their data.
Protected bike lanes increase Citi Bike ridership in New York City, but painted bike lanes and sharrows do not show a statistically significant causal effect on ridership after accounting for confounding factors, according to a new study from researchers at NYU's Tandon School of Engineering published this week in npj Sustainable Mobility and Transport.
Last year I called this working with a wizard: you chant the spell and something happens. With Fable the spell has gotten powerful enough that I am no longer sure I am the wizard. I am closer to a patron. I describe what I want, I pay for it, and I judge the result. The conjuring happens somewhere I cannot watch, in hundreds of small choices I never get a vote on. The work has shifted from process to outcome. I no longer steer; I commission.
I tried couch to 5k, and found it really difficult. But ask me to leave my car at home and cycle five or 10 minutes to the supermarket when I want to pick up some milk and a loaf of bread, that's something that I could easily do.
What it is not doing, despite some of the early headlines, is breaking the Big Bang. The distinction matters, because the two readings point in very different directions. One would overturn cosmology. The other revises astrophysics, which is the part of the story the evidence actually supports.
If someone forced me to recommend just one, I'd ask them one question first. Are you learning, or are you exploring? Vital and Surge XT don't really compete. One is the fast, visual, modern wavetable synth. The other is the deep, sprawling everything-synth. I reach for Vital when I have a specific sound in my head and want to get there quickly. On the other hand, I load Surge XT when I want to browse, experiment, and stumble into something new.
The asymmetry between the eastward and westward results — losing 59 nanoseconds in one direction and gaining 273 in the other — is one of the more counterintuitive aspects of the experiment. Both flights covered roughly the same distance at roughly the same speed at roughly the same altitude. If only the velocity of the aircraft mattered, the two flights should have produced identical effects.
The biblical story that gave the Ascend 950 its internal codename ends with the giant face-down. But the Goliath in that story stood still and let David sling stones at him, whereas Nvidia's Goliath is constantly in motion, ships a new architecture every year and improves existing architectures. Huawei has proven it can sling a stone on Day 0; whether it can fell a moving giant is yet to be seen.
The research team discovered that instead of acting directly on neural receptors in the brain, the drug accumulates in the intestine. There, it triggers a massive proliferation of the gut microbe Lactobacillus delbrueckii.
Don't shed a tear for the strivers. Think of the rules, norms, and strictures that you feel most suffocated by. Enumerate every if only in your life, all the things you'd do if you were brave enough, if nobody was judging. Now is your chance!
These examples were not the digital equivalent of a power loom, making large numbers of human jobs superfluous. Turns out, A.I. was assisting these small businesses in roughly the same way that my teen-age self had helped that consulting company—by hacking together whatever was useful.
The changes reflect a growing conviction within the company that the future of AI lies not in chatbots that answer questions but in agents that perform tasks for users.
The cognitive dissonance I want to name clearly, and kindly: the gap between what the financial and public policy elite are discussing in air-conditioned conference rooms, and what is actually being constructed in factories, fields, and rooftops across Asia and beyond.
It's ahistorical to say hipsters listened to early 2010s stomp-clap folk-rock like the Lumineers and Mumford & Sons, so please stop making that false association. As the above graphic illustrates, some people do align hipsters with stomp-clap. It's a category error. It shows a misunderstanding of what hipsters were. The hipsters of 2012 took a substantially different posture toward popular music than the hipsters of 2002, but even mainstream-friendly late-stage hipsters turned up their noses at stomp-clap. At the peak of their popularity, these bands were the antithesis of hip.
One time I had an eye migraine and went blind during all day, and I kept going from AE. The hospital staff were shouting at me to stop plugging my laptop into the wall. One time I had rotavirus, I was crawling on the floor I was so ill, and like still just like on the floor finishing Ludum Dare.
