The dangerous virus remains infectious in fresh water for up to three days by “hitchhiking” on plastic, researchers have found . They found that enteroviruses, such as rotavirus, that cause diarrhea and stomach upset can survive in water by attaching to tiny particles less than 5 millimeters in length. Researchers at the University of Stirling […]

The bad news about inflation keeps coming . Inflation in rich countries is above 9% a year, a high not seen since the 1980s – never before have there been so many “inflation surprises” that economists had predicted. This in turn has dealt a heavy blow to the economy and financial markets. Central banks are

AMD announced FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0 (FSR 2.0) in March of this year. Unlike NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS), FSR does not use AI to train models, but uses traditional image processing algorithms. The advantage is that it is easy to integrate into games and supports old graphics cards, even those of competitors. DLSS

HardenedVault wrote that ” VaultBoot was introduced in a previous article of Cyber ​​Fortress as an important component of “next-generation” firmware security, focusing on firmware security, trusted computing, and a firmware payload executive for advanced defense, and its design can play on the coreboot platform. The most excellent protection effect. Recently, Cyber ​​Fortress released a

The sci-fi movie “Blade Runner” was released on June 25, 1982, and has now celebrated its 40th anniversary . Directed by Ridley Scott and based on PKD’s (Philip K.

The use of artificial intelligence is booming, but it may not be the secret weapon you might imagine : From cyber operations to disinformation, AI expands the reach of national security threats, targeting individuals and society as a whole with precision, speed, and scale. As the U.S. struggles to stay ahead, the U.S. Intelligence Community

Scientists are developing artificial photosynthesis to make food production more energy-efficient on Earth, and hope the technology could one day be used on Mars. Photosynthesis has evolved in plants over millions of years, converting water, carbon dioxide and energy from sunlight into plant biomass and the food we eat. This process is very inefficient, and

In 2009, Feifei Li , a computer scientist at Princeton University at the time, created a dataset that would change the history of artificial intelligence. The dataset, called ImageNet, contains millions of labeled images that can be used to train sophisticated machine-learning models to recognize what’s in the images. In 2015, these machines surpassed human

In late 2021, operators of the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Swarm constellation of satellites noticed a worrying situation, with satellites measuring the magnetic field around the Earth starting to sink into the atmosphere at an unusually fast rate – 10 times faster than before . The change coincides with the start of a new solar

In the past, because the CPU and memory were limited, the program needed to be finely polished, and the volume was usually small, and it took up very little CPU and memory resources. But today’s CPUs are powerful enough and have enough memory that not many programmers optimize their programs anymore, and the result is
