These new AI tools are promoted as study aids, but they may be doing more harm than good

Once upon a time, educators worried about the dangers of CliffsNotes—study guides that rendered great works of literature as a series of bullet points that many students used as a replacement for actually doing the reading.

Today, that sure seems quaint.

Suddenly, new consumer AI tools have hit the market that can take any piece of text, audio or video and provide that same kind of simplified summary. And those summaries aren’t just a series of quippy text in bullet point

Say Goodbye to Passwords

It’s been a couple of years since Apple, Google, and Microsoft started trying to kill the password, and its demise seems more likely than ever.

In 2022, all three companies embraced an alternative called passkeys, which sync securely between your devices and are protected by face recognition, a fingerprint, or a PIN. The thinking goes that if you don’t have to remember a password—or even create one in a password manager—you’re less likely to fall prey to phishing

Mohou Ukrajinci vyvinout atomovou bombu?

V posledních týdnech se v médiích objevily zprávy o potenciálních jaderných záměrech Ukrajiny [1,2,3]. Ukrajina byla zavázána zbavit se všech Sovětských jaderných hlavic výměnou za územní integritu v rámci Budapešťského memoranda, to však zjevně dnes již neplatí. Krom Budapešťského memoranda je Ukrajina i signatářem smlouvy o nešíření jaderných zbraní [4]. Na druhou stranu signatářem této smlouvy byla i Severní Korea a ta jaderné zbraně dnes vlastní [5]. http://www.osel.cz/13777-mohou-ukrajinci-

Kvantové víry potvrzují supratekutost v suprapevné hmotě

Fyzici nadšeně zkoumají nedávno pozorované suprapevné látky (supersolids), které je možné vytvořit v ultrachladných dipolárních kvantových plynech.

Polaris Spaceplanes konečně zvládli test lineárního pohonu aerospike

Demonstrační letoun MIRA II, který vzlétl z Peneemünde, zažehl za letu experimentální lineární pohon aerospike AS-1 LOX. Motor běžel 3 sekundy a stal se prvním motorem tohoto typu, který doopravdy poháněl letoun během letu. Po sérii testů by měl přijít na řadu o něco větší demonstrátor Nova a pak již kosmoplán Aurora, k němuž společnost Polaris směřuje. http://www.osel.cz/13775-polaris-spaceplanes-konecne-zvladli-test-linearniho-pohonu-aerospike.html

Živly jako kořeny a živly jako prvky

Cesta živlů od kořenů k prvkům začíná romanticky, přestože šlo o jeden z prvních pokusů o reduktivní výklad přírodního dění. Živly jakožto kořeny všeho u Empedokla, pak živly jakožto prvky u Aristotela. A taky kvintesence. Hippokratés se bez živlů ještě obešel (navzdory převažující populární verzi), zato alchymisté je často pěstují, až Boyle zavede pojem prvek v novodobém smyslu slova. http://www.osel.cz/13774-zivly-jako-koreny-a-zivly-jako-prvky.html
