Colossal Bioscience vyrobili „zpravlkovatělé“ vlky

Romulus, Remus a Khaleesi nejsou vzkříšení pravlci. Jsou to lehce „zpravlkovatělí“vlci s genetickým mejkapem, vytvořeným rekordními 20 lokálními editacemi vlčího genomu. Stejně ale představují ohromný úspěch. Dokazují, že technologie de-extinkce funguje, a že už v podstatě máme pohromadě vše potřebné vzkříšení vyhynulých druhů. Teď už je to jenom otázkou času. http://www.osel.cz/13987-colossal-bioscience-vyrobili-zpravlkovatele-vlky.html

Why Amazon is doubling down on movie theaters

Amazon is betting big on movie theaters—even if it isn’t counting on mega profits.

The Silicon Valley giant told The New York Times last week that it is planning to release about 14 movies annually in theaters across the United States, an untraditional move for a company that has for years focused on streaming. Instead of simply dropping films directly onto Prime Video, its

Meet the Space Resistance Companies

If you’re at all unsettled by the amount of power that Elon Musk wields on Earth, don’t look up. There are now essentially three big players controlling what goes into space and who gets access to increasingly valuable space-based communications and surveillance services: Russia, China, and Elon Musk.

In 2024, Musk’s rocket company SpaceX accounted for more than half of all orbital launch attempts globally—more than all countries outside the U.S. combined—with 134 successful launches of its

How ChatGPT is helping bend websites to my will

I’m a writer, not a programmer, so until recently a lot of the hype around ChatGPT’s abitilies as a coding tool went over my head.

But then I realized generative AI’s programming powers can be helpful for more than just coders. It can also help anyone else dabble in code to get things done.

In my case, that means creating new browser bookmarklets. These are

Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke: AI is now a ‘fundamental expectation’ for employees

Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke shared an internal memo on X on Monday that stressed the importance of using AI effectively in daily tasks. In fact, he wrote, using AI is now a “fundamental expectation” of Shopify employees.

Hard scifi: Kawasaki vyvíjejí robotického koně Corleo pro dvě osoby

Dvoumístný čtyřnohý terénní robot Corleo s nabušenou umělou inteligencí by měl být jako vodíkový robotický kůň bez hlavy, který se požene rychlostí až 80 km/h a bude ladně skákat jako masivní robotická šelma. Kawasaki si tentokrát ukousli pořádné sousto. Zatím je to jen koncept s prototypem co nic neumí. Běhat po kraji by měl asi tak za dvacet let.

President Donald Trump has just expanded the social media surveillance system for immigrants.

Starting in May, the United States will begin collecting the social media handles of all permanent resident applicants.

Marco Rubio also reportedly demanded that diplomats scrutinize the social media accounts of student visa applicants, withh

Kapalina s tvarem se vysmívá učebnicím

Když děláte italský dresink do salátu, smícháte olej, vodu a koření, které sníží mezifázové napětí a vznikne chutná emulze. Pokud nahradíte koření magnetizovanými nanočásticemi, poklesne vám čelist.

Pulzné oximetre sú nespoľahlivé u vážne chorých pacientov

Nasýtenie krvi kyslíkom je parameter, podľa ktorého sa dajú identifikovať pacienti s poruchou dýchania a s nedostatkom kyslíka v tepennej krvi. Merať sa dá pomocou malého, jednoduchého a lacného prístroja, pulzného oximetra.

Will smartphone camera attachments ever be worth the hassle?

Smartphone cameras are still getting bigger and better by the year, particularly if you look at high-end phones coming out of China with huge sensors and protruding bumps to match. These phones can deliver awesome results, and I’m happy to use them in several situations where I would previously have had to rely on a dedicated camera. Just this week I used the Xiaomi 15 Ultra to shoot a Formula One event in Tokyo.&n

‘The White Lotus’ star Aimee Lou Wood’s smile is inspiring to fans—and a dangerous TikTok trend

Too late.

Unfortunately, Wood may have unintentionally reignited a troubling DIY dentistry trend. On TikTok, users are once again
