Arms

Men arrive on crutches, two in wheelchairs, through a wintry dusk at the monumental neo-Renaissance opera house in Lviv, western Ukraine. Some 100 seats tonight have been reserved for serving soldiers, who enter the lobby – a fin-de-siècle wonder – in military fatigues. They hand these in, so that the coat check looks like a barracks locker room. A contingent of 40 cadets from the city’s emergency firefighting department duly arrives, disarmingly young. For most, it’s a first night at the opera.The occasion marks the…

The UK shifted from third place in 2020 and 2021 to fourth place and was displaced by Singapore, which saw significant growth over the past few years. In 2020, Singapore was ranked in tenth place, moved up to sixth in 2021, and then in 2023 moved up three more places, scoring a 50 out of 100.  The overall rankings reflect the countries' performance on the AI scale, but it is also worth noting countries that are leading in AI intensity. Singapore, Israel, and Switzerland led in terms of intensity meaning that these…

A team of six Japanese researchers led by Dr Masahiko Inami at the University of Tokyo has developed wearable robotic arms inspired by the Japanese concept of “jizai” which signifies autonomy and free will. The cyborg arms aim to ‘unlock creativity’ as the teaser for the arms shows two ballet dancers wearing the arms and performing an act. A report by Reuters quoted Inami saying that the arms are not rivals to humans, instead they “ us do as we please, like a bicycle or e-bike.”Inami has said that he was inspired by the…

The arms race in nature, usually a battle between predator and prey, is one of the most fascinating phenomena in evolutionary biology. But one arms race that isn’t looking too good for humans is the tussle between bacteria and the antibiotics we have to kill pathogens.And because bacteria can evolve genetic survival tactics rapidly, much faster than we can find new drugs, antibiotic resistance continues to spread.It’s this genetic evolution of bacteria a team of scientists from Baylor College of Medicine has set its…

Photo via Paramount Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn’t mess around when it comes to his biceps. The former governor of California has no problem letting his critics know that his muscle game is nothing to scoff at despite being a retired professional bodybuilder, as one troll recently discovered on Twitter. However, even though the five-time Mr. Universe is comfortable in his own skin, he was caught off guard by co-star Linda Hamilton‘s ripped appearance in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Schwarzenegger recalled the…

If you had to estimate the dimensions of a room without the benefit of a tape measure, you might walk its perimeter heel to toe, counting your steps. To estimate the height of a wall, you might count hand spans from floor to ceiling. In doing so, you’d join a long human tradition. Most human societies around the word—perhaps all—have employed similar body-based measurement strategies, according to a first-of-its-kind study published today in Science. And these…

I feel like the offices of Lyft are just party city today. As reported by TechCrunch, Uber is apparently dropping one of the benefits from its Uber One subscription service. Right now, users who are subscribed to the service get 5% off all of the rides that they take. It’s a tentpole feature of Uber One but, according to the report, that benefit is going away starting next week. Instead of a five percent discount on rides, subscribers will instead start to earn six percent in “Uber Cash” on eligible…

ARM just sent a not-so-subtle warning to Android phone makers still hanging on to 32-bit technology. The company has introduced its first lineup of CPU core designs that are exclusively 64-bit — unlike last year, there's no legacy tech for vendors to use. The Cortex-X4, Cortex-A720 and Cortex-A520 don't always represent major leaps in performance, but they're likely to set the pace for Android in the near future. The Cortex-X4, like the X3, is a performance core aimed at flagship phones. Its updated architecture delivers…
