TikTok is full of bogus, potentially dangerous medical advice

TikTok is the new doctor’s office, quickly becoming a go-to platform for medical advice. Unfortunately, much of that advice is pretty sketchy.

A new report by the healthcare software firm Tebra found 45% of medical advice on TikTok to be false or misleading. Some categories were worse offenders than others, with TikTok videos about alternative medicine having the most inacc

Kvantoví inženýři zvládli teleportaci přes vytížené optické kabely

Optickými kabely při běžném internetovém provozu zurčí záplava fotonů. Kvantová komunikace manipuluje s jednotlivými fotony, které by se mohly v moři fotonů optické komunikace utopit beze stopy. Kvantoví inženýři Northwestern University zařídili, aby k tomu nedocházelo. Praktická kvantová komunikace je na dohled. http://www.osel.cz/13836-kvantovi-inzenyri-zvladli-teleportaci-pres-vytizene-opticke-kabely.html

45 years ago, the Walkman changed how we listen to music

Back in 1979, Sony cofounder Masaru Ibuka was looking for a way to listen to classical music on long-haul flights. In response, his company’s engineers dreamed up the Walkman, ordering 30,000 units for an initial production run. Forty-five years later, Sony has sold over 400 million Walkmans and incited a revolution in music technology. 

While there are still Walkmans for sale, most use iPhones and Androids to tune in nowadays. Sony Walkman sound engineer Sato Hiroaki, who joined t

The greatest keyboard never sold

Even as the latest phones and wearables tout speech recognition with unprecedented accuracy and spatial computing products flirt with replacing tablets and laptops, physical keyboards remain beloved for their efficiency. Earlier this year, for example, sci-fi novelist Robert J. Sawyer created a comprehensive archive of files that enables modern PCs to run WordStar 7, the DOS program’s final version. He favors the once-dominant word processo

The 25 best new apps of 2024

One of the most pleasant surprises about this year’s best new apps have nothing to do with AI.

While AI tools are a frothy area for big tech companies and venture capitalists, there’s plenty of app innovation happening outside of that arena, in categories such as productivity, social media, and streaming music.

Čínský detonační ramjet JinDou400 rozbouřil oblohu rychlostí Mach 4

Lingkong Tianxing Technology poslali na špici rakety testovací letoun s pohonem JinDou400. Při letu velkou rychlostí využívá detonační spalování paliva. Při testu se vyšplhal do výšky 19 812 metrů a dosáhl rychlosti Mach 4.

The future belongs to systems of action

The world of enterprise tech is built on sturdy foundations. For decades, systems of record—the databases, customer relationship management (CRM), and enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms we’re all intimately familiar with—have served as reliable pillars underpinning every major business. Vendors selling them have become household names and the technology is a core component of how enterprises operate, scale, and report. They’ve embedded themselves, seemingly immovably, into how the

Banning Chinese-made drones could hurt some Americans

Russell Hedrick, a North Carolina farmer, flies drones to spray fertilizers on his corn, soybean and wheat fields at a fraction of what it would cost him to use a conventional ground spreader.

As a volunteer rescuer, Hedrick uses thermal drones to search for people trapped by mudslides and cargo drones to send water and baby formula to those who are stranded — something he did after 

Fake AI-generated reviews are all over the internet, research shows

How digital transformation is reshaping energy systems

A balanced planet requires more energy with less carbon. The energy transition to a lower carbon future is arguably the largest and most significant challenge ever contemplated or attempted in the history of our planet. Achieving a balanced planet means our current energy mix must evolve to include more lower- and zero-carbon forms of energy, such as geothermal and hydrogen. Hydrocarbons, however, will still play a critical role for decades to support a secure energy mix, so it is imperative

We used Google’s AI to analyze 188 predictions of what’s in store for tech in 2025

At this time of year investment banks, advertising agencies, and seemingly every other business on the planet share their predictions on what is likely to unfold in the next 12 months. Journalists’ inboxes sag under the weight of unsolicited predictions for the year ahead.

But separating the wheat from the chaff when it comes to forecasts of the year ahead can be tricky.

How to empower people through value transformation

In the business world, transformation has become a buzzword—one that’s often discussed but rarely grounded in clarity. While many focus on digital transformation as a tech-driven revolution, the real conversation should be about value transformation. What does it take to shift organizational priorities from chasing trends to creating meaningful impact? And more importantly, how do we ensure these transformations empower people rather than just adding layers of complexity?

Andrew Ng is betting big on agentic AI

Google bit on Ng’s line of thinking, and in 2011 he helped launch Google Brain, one of the most ambitious artificial intelli
