Errors

Aspyr has admitted a series of “critical errors” impacted the launch of the Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection. Originally announced last month, the Classic Collection brought together the first two Star Wars Battlefront games for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the series. Alongside the base games, the package included a number of bonus levels and characters as well as an online multiplayer mode that was advertised as allowing up to 64 players to take…

Concerningly, AI's 'hallucinations' -- where the technology makes up answers to questions it doesn't know -- are already commonplace.We have also seen algorithms exhibit and amplify gender, racial, ethnic, and class biases that are already baked into society.Also: Want to work in AI? How to pivot your career in 5 stepsThese kinds of issues arise because much of the data that powers AI models is scraped from content on the internet, the majority of which has been produced by dominant power structures. So, to ensure an…

Many Pregnancy Losses Are Caused by Errors in Cell DivisionOdd cell divisions could help explain why even young, healthy couples might struggle to get pregnantBy Gina Jiménez Credit: ugurhan/Getty ImagesHuman reproduction is notoriously inefficient. Whereas the fertilized eggs of other animals, such as mice, usually progress to more complex embryo stages, fertilized human eggs often falter early on. For a recent study in Genome Medicine, scientists analyzed almost 1,000 embryos from in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures…

Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Tuesday slammed "completely unacceptable" errors by its Gemini AI app, after gaffes such as images of ethnically diverse World War II Nazi troops forced it to stop users from creating pictures of people. The controversy emerged within weeks of Google's high-profile rebranding of its ChatGPT-style AI to "Gemini", giving the app unprecedented prominence in its products as it competes with OpenAI and its backer Microsoft.Social media users mocked and criticized Google for the historically…

Rebecca Grossman is accused of speeding through a Westlake crosswalk and barely applying the brakes of her white Mercedes SUV before slamming into two young boys. A former NASA scientist said Wednesday at her murder trial the Hidden Hills woman didn’t have time to slam on her brakes before her airbags deployed. Stephen Casner also testified for the defense that it was “hard to imagine” that the children were not first struck by a black Mercedes SUV that preceded Grossman through the crosswalk.Grossman is accused of…

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking method to identify errors in quantum computers, greatly improving error correction efficiency. This advancement employs real-time error monitoring in quantum computations, marking a significant shift in quantum computing research.

A study reveals a dramatic rise in ADHD medication errors in children, with the majority occurring at home and involving males aged 6-12. It calls for enhanced education and improved medication management to mitigate these errors. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Experts call for patient and caregiver education and for development of improved child-resistant medication dispensing and tracking systems.Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is among the most common pediatric neurodevelopmental disorders. In 2019, nearly…

Researchers from Caltech have developed a quantum eraser to correct “erasure” errors in quantum computing systems. This technique, which involves manipulating alkaline-earth neutral atoms in laser light “tweezers,” allows for the detection and correction of errors through fluorescence. The innovation leads to a tenfold improvement in entanglement rates in Rydberg neutral atom systems, representing a crucial step forward in making quantum computers more reliable and scalable.Researchers have successfully demonstrated the…

December 1, 20232min readSome female stick insects can reproduce without males—but they have a secretBy Saugat BolakheTimema poppense, a species related to the stick insects studied in the new work. Credit: Moritz Muschick/University of SheffieldCertain wingless, sticklike insects that hide in bushes and trees across central California have no need for males: these insects in the Timema genus are nearly all female and reproduce without sex by creating genetic clones of themselves, a process called parthenogenesis.But…
