Glimpse

Image via Walt Disney Pictures A video shared on Twitter has given fans a sneak peak of the live-action Lilo and Stitch, and boy is it creepy. You might be tired of the frequent live-action remakes released every year, but Disney isn’t tired of money. Filming has clearly begun on its latest do-over with real people, as the cast and crew were spotted filming in Hawaii. Someone was even able to capture a video of one particular scene being filmed. Yes, it does feature Stitch, and no, they haven’t cast a…

via Marvel Studios Things change, evolve, and that’s life. Our favorite superhero actors have lives and other jobs and sometimes it’s just time to move on. Case in point: Chris Evans is out as Captain America and Anthony Mackie is in. Someone else who’s in? Danny Ramirez, who’s going to play Joaquin Torres in Captain America 4, as the new Falcon. Now we’re getting an (albeit blurry) first look. There’s a photo floating (soaring?) around the internet today purportedly of a picture from the set of the new movie.…

Earth will not last forever. That’s a truth that astronomers have known for a long time. In fact, scientists are fairly positive they’ve determined when the Sun and Earth will die, sometime far in the future. However, a newly released study could give us a glimpse at Earth’s fate, as astronomers recently watched a star eat a planet. As stars age, they run out of fuel, billowing out from their original size. When this happens, the star engulfs any matter that it crosses — including stars and planets. In the…

The Hubble Space Telescope has taken an image of NGC 3489, a lenticular galaxy located approximately 30 million light-years away in the Leo constellation. Lenticular galaxies, such as NGC 3489, exhibit characteristics of both spiral and elliptical galaxies, with a central bulge of densely clustered stars and a thin disk of stars, gas, and dust, but without the distinctive arms of a spiral galaxy.

AI composition/production assistantsFor now, AudioGPT does not really affect the work and lives of musicians in any way. However, in my estimation, this will change in the near future. Here are the two steps that would need to be taken to make these kinds of systems truly transformative in this field:Expand AudioGPT with music models (source separation, tagging, denoising, audio effects, etc) or build a separate MusicGPT model focused on these specific tasks.Develop plugins that allow musicians to access AudioGPT (or…

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) captures coarse, colorful snapshots of the brain in action. While this specialized type of magnetic resonance imaging has transformed cognitive neuroscience, it isn’t a mind-reading machine: neuroscientists can’t look at a brain scan and tell what someone was seeing, hearing or thinking in the scanner. But gradually scientists are pushing against that fundamental barrier to translate internal experiences into words using brain imaging. This technology could help people who…

WAMA DISTRICT, NURISTAN, AFGHANISTAN—When Dilaram comes into view through the trees, he’s standing astride the felled trunk of a huge cedar,  the chainsaw in his hands straining as it spews smoke and sawdust. It’s 10:30 A.M., and the air is filled with the smell of conifer needles and two-stroke exhaust. Forty-year-old Dilaram, who goes by one name, has already been hard at work with fellow logger Sanaullah for six hours under the fierce summer sun, and their shalwar kameez are soaked through with sweat. A jumble of…

‘She was riding in the middle of 50 bikers, pulling a super-aggressive gangster face.” Lola Quivoron is talking about the real-life inspiration for their urban motocross film Rodeo. “I think in order to front up enough to get through it. Because everyone was looking at her. Some people were laughing because she had a smaller motorbike than everyone else. Some people found her odd, others beautiful. But I was very impressed by the risks she was taking and by her strength.”Quivoron had been hanging out with Dirty Riderz…
