The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has initiated an investigation into 2.4 million Tesla vehicles equipped with the automaker’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) software following reports of four crashes, including one fatal incident. The crashes occurred under conditions of low road visibility, such as sunlight, fog, or dust, while Tesla’s FSD system was engaged. One of the accidents tragically resulted in a pedestrian’s death, while another crash caused an injury, according to the NHTSA. Tesla Models Under Investigation The investigation covers a wide range of Tesla models, including: 2016-2024 Tesla Model S and Model X 2017-2024 Model 3 2020-2024…

Cape Canaveral, Florida – October’s supermoon is set to be the closest and brightest of the year, providing stargazers with a unique double treat as it coincides with a rare comet sighting. This celestial event offers a must-see opportunity for sky watchers. The third of four supermoons this year, the October supermoon will be located just 222,055 miles (357,364 kilometers) from Earth, making it appear larger and brighter than the August and September supermoons. The full moon phase will be reached on Thursday, but its brilliance will be on display Wednesday night. Adding to the excitement, a comet, Comet Chukingshan-Atlas,…
Scientists from the University of Surrey have developed an advanced computer simulation that models how our brains develop and grow neurons. This innovative research aims to improve our understanding of brain function, with the hope that these models will significantly advance neurodegenerative disease studies and one day contribute to stem cell research aimed at regenerating brain tissue. The research team utilized a method known as Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC), a technique that refines the model by comparing the simulated neuron growth to real-life neuron patterns. This ensures that the computer-generated brain closely mimics actual neuron development and connection formation. The…

Introduction: Two years ago, Tesla’s Optimus Prime prototype was a bundle of exposed wires, limited to stage demonstrations under strict conditions. Fast forward to last night’s “We, the Robots” event, and we witnessed a vastly improved Optimus Prime that moves freely and interacts directly with attendees, showing Tesla’s rapid technological advancements in robotics. The Future of Robotics: Elon Musk’s Vision for Optimus Prime Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO, confidently claimed that Optimus Prime “will be the biggest product ever made,” emphasizing the monumental impact he believes it will have. This bold declaration stirred debate about the current level of autonomy in…
The Nobel Prize Committee in Physics has honored John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton with the prestigious 2024 Nobel Prize for their groundbreaking work on neural networks—research that caught the academic community by surprise. Their seminal papers, published in the 1980s, laid the foundational concepts for modern artificial intelligence, influencing technologies like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion. A Surprising Recognition in Physics Both Hopfield and Hinton were taken aback by the award, with Hinton expressing his astonishment to the Associated Press, stating he was “flabbergasted.” Traditionally, artificial intelligence isn’t the first field that comes to mind when discussing physics. However,…
The U.S. government is contemplating a significant move to break up Google, the largest search engine globally, citing concerns over its alleged “malignant harm” to American consumers. This development follows a landmark court ruling in August, where the Department of Justice (DOJ) concluded that Google has been engaging in practices that illegally suppress competition in the online search market. If the DOJ proceeds with the proposed remedies and they receive judicial approval, this would mark one of the most substantial regulatory interventions in the history of Big Tech companies. Google has vehemently opposed these measures, labeling them as “radical” and…
