Consumers, Meet Your Virtual Match: Your Digital Double

stp2y0 CommentsNews
How many times has an algorithm gotten something wrong about you? There are countless examples, ranging from funny (Amazon thinking that you need more toilet seats) to incredibly harmful (Google Photos labeling Black people as gorillas). Algorithms dictate so much of what we experience, including what we discover via product recommendations, what we see and buy via search results, and how much we pay via dynamic pricing, so it’s particularly frustrating when they misunderstand us. Digital Doubles Make Algorithms Work For You Imagine if you could build an algorithm that makes algorithms work for you. You may not have to…

Engineers design soft and flexible ‘skeletons’ for muscle-powered robots

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI
Our muscles are nature's perfect actuators -- devices that turn energy into motion. For their size, muscle fibers are more powerful and precise than most synthetic actuators. They can even heal from damage and grow stronger with exercise. For these reasons, engineers are exploring ways to power robots with natural muscles. They've demonstrated a handful of "biohybrid" robots that use muscle-based actuators to power artificial skeletons that walk, swim, pump, and grip. But for every bot, there's a very different build, and no general blueprint for how to get the most out of muscles for any given robot design. Now,…

LUI, GUI, NLUISurveys conducted earlier this year show that between 30-50% of working professionals in the US are already using ChatGPT for work, although most won’t admit it to their employers. While it has been less than six months since ChatGPT launched, we are quickly becoming more accustomed to using natural language as a primary means of interacting with software. In UX terms, this is a Language User Interface or a LUI. But LUIs aren't new. The first LUI was the Command Line Interface (CLI), which emerged in the 1960s and became popular alongside personal computers in 1970s. They were…

22,000-year-old artifacts could rewrite ancient human history in North America

North and South America were the last inhabited continents that modern humans settled thousands of years ago, but when and how they reached the Americas remains a mystery."We don't know who these first peoples were," Todd Braje, executive director of the University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History, told Business Insider. We don't know "where they came from, when they arrived, the technologies that they had available," he added.For many years, archaeologists thought the first humans to set foot in the Americas did so around 13,000 years ago. But more recently, new findings have challenged that theory, pushing…

Blood Glucose Control Via Pre-trained Counterfactual Invertible Neural Networks

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2405.17458v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is characterized by insulin deficiency and blood glucose (BG) control issues. The state-of-the-art solution for continuous BG control is reinforcement learning (RL), where an agent can dynamically adjust exogenous insulin doses in time to maintain BG levels within the target range. However, due to the lack of action guidance, the agent often needs to learn from randomized trials to understand misleading correlations between exogenous insulin doses and BG levels, which can lead to instability and unsafety. To address these challenges, we propose an introspective RL based on Counterfactual Invertible Neural…

Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft was set to launch on May 6 — but was delayed again

stp2y0 CommentsNews
Already years late, Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft continues to face delays as it prepares to launch NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams into space. The latest delay came as a problem with its ride to orbit, an Atlas V rocket, caused the first launch attempt late on May 6, 2024, to be scrubbed.When it does launch from the Kennedy Space Center, no earlier than May 10, this last crucial test for Starliner will try out the new spacecraft and take the pair to the International Space Station for about a week.Part of NASA’s commercial crew program, this long-delayed mission will represent the vehicle’s first crewed launch.…
