Promising

Some may have already forgotten that the 2024 movie release schedule does indeed have a new Karate Kid film slated to be released. While that picture isn't slated to be released until December, the merging of Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan’s storylines in Sony’s famed cinematic IP has been watched with great interest. And now this mysterious project has landed what it needed most: our next Karate Kid; which I’m now hyped about, thanks to the casting of a promising Disney vet. According to reporting coming from THR, actor…

In its last hurrah before being shut down, a 40-year-old fusion reactor in the UK set a new world record for energy output — bringing the decades-old promise of clean, limitless energy one step closer to reality. Scientists at the Joint European Torus (JET) — a huge, donut-shaped machine known as a tokamak — produced a record 69 megajoules of fusion energy for five seconds, surpassing the previous record of 59 megajoules set in 2021. This equates to a power output of 12.5 megawatts, enough to…

The form factor of the Frame is based on retro, "off-beat style" glasses, as Bobak calls it, that the late Steve Jobs, John Lennon, and Gandhi wore. "This (technology) is so new and unfamiliar, so we tried to reference something that looks familiar but at the same time has a lot of lineage to our shared pop culture." Hidden within the lenses is a projector that can beam out text and images to roughly 20 degrees diagonal of field of view. It's more than sufficient to display around the AI output use case and feels like…

Researchers at Tokyo Medical and Dental University have developed a groundbreaking genome-editing technique to treat Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease by reducing PMP22 protein levels, showing potential for a new clinical therapy in a field with limited existing treatments. AAV gene therapy-based genome editing recovered myelination in human CMT1A patient nerve differentiated from iPS cells.

Despite being at the proper age for it, I never caught on with Rugrats. I don’t think it really aired much with my cable provider. I do, however, know the NES quite well, and I can confirm Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland is an NES game. This is despite the fact that the game will also have an HD art style over top of the 8-Bit backbone (not available on NES) that you can toggle on or off. Allegedly. That’s not actually in the demo. All you get is a taste for is the NES version, which strikes me as an odd decision. I…

Google has promised 7 years of software updates for its Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, and Samsung followed suit with the exact same promise for the Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra. OnePlus, on the other hand, is only promising four major Android updates and five years of security patches for its flagships. If you were expecting OnePlus to pivot to reach the same position as Google and Samsung, you're in for a disappointment. The company is very happy with its decision not to offer more than five years of support for its…

A groundbreaking study has developed a new targeted therapy against the KRAS G12D protein, crucial in many aggressive cancers. The drug, KRAS Binder-456, demonstrated significant tumor growth inhibition, offering a promising new approach to treating pancreatic, lung, and colon cancers.Through a highly collaborative research effort led by the laboratory of Saïd Sebti, Ph.D., at the VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center, a team of scientists has successfully developed a groundbreaking targeted therapy that hones in on the…

The structure of this review. Credit: Journal of Remote Sensing (2023). DOI: 10.34133/remotesensing.0105 The concept of geospatial data, or information related to locations on Earth's surface, has evolved. With the advent of widely available internet and smartphones, directions that were once only available on a paper map are now updated on your phone in real time to account for traffic. That evolution was, and will continue to…

Apple's Vision Pro finally goes on sale on February 2, a date that is just a few days away. So far Apple has tightly controlled the experience of people spending time with the headset which has led to somewhat sanitized experiences. But that all changes today as new hands-on and early review reports start to hit the internet, and many of them are saying the same thing.As some had suggested, the arrival of the Vision Pro could prove to be a watershed moment for the world of Spatial Computing, but it's still very early…

The Huawei P70 series is coming, and while we’re waiting for more official info, some details just surfaced. A well-known tipster just detailed the camera hardware of the Huawei P70 Art. This information comes from Digital Chat Station, one of China’s most prominent tipsters. He claims that Huawei plans to use three 50-megapixel cameras on the back of the Huawei P70 Art, and things are looking interesting. The Huawei P70 Art camera hardware gets detailed, and it looks very promising Huawei will seemingly reach for the…
