A couple of days ago the metal mid-frame of the Huawei Mate 60 leaked, showing that the phone will have a circular camera island. Now Digital Chat Station has shared a render of the phone that offers a better look at said island – it reminds us of the Mate 40 series, except the circle is bigger. Three cameras are visible, though the only details we have so far is that Huawei is bringing new sensors and a periscope lens that has been optimized for low-light shooting. Also, the XMAGE label indicates that the image…

Vitamin D deficiency or lower vitamin D levels are associated with a significant increase in the severity of psoriasis, according to US research on nearly 500 cases, one of the largest studies yet.Brown University dermatologist Eunyoung Cho and colleagues say their findings suggest people with the irritating skin condition that affects over 8 million people in the US may benefit from vitamin D-rich foods or supplements.Psoriasis is an immune-mediated disease characterized by an abnormally fast turnover of skin cells,…

A study of nearly 10,000 Americans reveals new insights about long COVID, a condition presenting symptoms such as fatigue and brain fog persisting for months or years post-COVID-19 infection, with more severity in patients infected prior to the 2021 Omicron variant. Researchers have developed a symptom-based scoring system to identify long COVID, discovered four symptom clusters, and underscored the necessity of understanding the biological mechanisms of long COVID for designing effective treatments.Pennington Biomedical…

By Walter Beckwith, American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) July 22, 2023A comprehensive analysis of GPS time-series data suggests a precursory phase of fault slip occurs two hours before large earthquakes. However, the current inability of monitoring tools to detect such slips at the scale of individual earthquakes remains a significant challenge for practical earthquake prediction.A systematic global analysis of GPS time-series data from nearly 100 large earthquakes suggests the existence of a…

Besides having access to Llama, Meta also shared its weights. The other major LLMs haven't. With weights, the parameters learned by a model during training, it's much easier to create and run custom AI programs. The other big LLMs, such as GPT, are usually only accessible through application programming interfaces (API).While AI is built on open-source foundations, Llama is the first major open-source LLM. Its pre-trained models have been trained on 2 trillion tokens, and have to double Llama 1's context length. Its…

The Denver area ranks as the third most competitive large rental market in the West behind Salt Lake City and Tucson, Ariz., blowing past Phoenix and Las Vegas. A new report by apartment search website Rent Cafe points to the market’s scant availability of rentals, with prospective tenants usually vying against eight others for a place to live – a statistic that’s on par with the U.S. average of nine people per empty rental. Apartments are typically snagged off of the market within 42 days. Denver’s occupancy rate is…

This image, taken in late June 2023, shows a webcam image of the construction site of ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope at Cerro Armazones, in Chile’s Atacama Desert. There, engineers and construction workers are currently assembling the structure of the telescope dome at a staggering pace. Visibly changing each day, the steel structure will soon acquire the familiar round shape typical of telescope domes. The starry background is dominated by the core of the Milky Way, our home galaxy, and the Large and Small Magellanic…

Protons accelerated almost to the speed of light can collide similarly to billiard balls. However, since protons are quantum particles, from measuring such collisions we can learn unobvious things about the strong interaction. Credit: IFJ PANA study conducted by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Accelerator has gained insights into the properties of strong interactions between protons at ultra-high energies by exploring elastic scattering in proton-proton collisions. The research found discrepancies with…
