Letošní eVolo Skyscraper Competition nabídla fantastické vize mrakodrapů

V roce 2024 se již po osmnácté konala mezinárodní soutěž odvážných projektů výškových budov eVolo Skyscraper Competition. Realizace těchto projektů (zatím) není na pořadu dne. Rozhodně je ale zajímavé vědět, o čem sní architekti, když jim nad hlavou nevisí Damoklův meč finančních nákladů a praktické realizace mrakodrapu. http://www.osel.cz/13539-letosni-evolo-skyscraper-competition-nabidla-fantasticke-vize-mrakodrapu.html

Věštírna na ostrově Amorgu, která věštila až do roku 1958, ne-li 1967

V prostoru kostela věštila jeptiška podle odlesku vody z pramene. Pověst věštírny ohrožovali ještě v 20. století spíše námořní piráti než církevní vrchnost, ale pak se něco pokazilo. K tomu pirátská nemocnice a taky leprosárium, obojí plně funkční ve 20. století. Plus příběh pro souvislosti. http://www.osel.cz/13538-vestirna-na-ostrove-amorgu-ktera-vestila-az-do-roku-1958-ne-li-1967.html

Webbův dalekohled narazil na záhadu: Tři „rubíny“ v raném vesmíru

Webb hleděl do vesmíru starého asi 600 až 800 milionů let. Našel tam trojici „rubínů,“ které podobně jako Kameny nekonečna nedávají smysl v našem chápání vzniku a vývoje vesmíru. Zřejmě jde o exotické „protogalaxie“ s nesmyslně starými hvězdami a nesmyslně gigantickou černou dírou, v nichž je množství hvězd odpovídající Mléčné dráze natlačeno do prostoru pár set světelných let.

How to find and search YouTube video transcripts on your phone

YouTube videos are an amazing source of knowledge. But they’re often long, and trying to find a specific shred of info within an hour-long video isn’t exactly a great use of your time.

AI offers financial firms a hand but isn’t ready for more complex tasks

The spread of artificial intelligence-based systems offers big opportunities for financial services firms, executives say, but asset managers also face higher stakes than other consumer-facing businesses because they manage sensitive information.

For example, AI systems could be better than humans at explaining to clients why they arrived at recommendations like portfolio allocations or lending decisions, said Zack Kass, a former head of business partnerships at OpenAI. People, he

Gigantický automatický přepravní systém propojí Tokio a Ósaku

Why AI can’t replace science

The scientific revolution has increased our understanding of the world immensely and improved our lives immeasurably. Now, many argue that science as we know it could be rendered passé by artificial intelligence. Way back in 2008, in an article titled, “The End of Theory: The data deluge makes the scientific method obsolete,” Chris Anderson, the then-editor-in-chief of Wired magazine, argued that,

Forget all the cables: you only need 3 charging gadgets for travel

I’m leaving for a trip tomorrow. It should be a joyous, exciting occasion. Unfortunately, I have terrible—nay, debilitating—battery anxiety when traveling.

Yes, phones last all day on a charge now. Usually. But what if mine doesn’t? What if one of my kids doesn’t properly shut down a tablet and leaves the screen on for a couple hours in a backpack?! What if the charger in my airplane seat isn’t working?!! All corner cases, to be sure, but still I fret.
