Blízká supernova by mohla ukončit hon na temnou hmotu

Pokud by astrofyzici měli ohromné štěstí a v Mléčné dráze nebo blízké satelitní galaxii exploduje supernova – a pokud bude gamateleskop Fermi natočený správným směrem – mohli by detekovat projevy axionů, dnes asi nejvíce slibných kandidátů na temnou hmotu. Anebo by mohli naopak vyloučit existenci mnoha typů axionů a podstatně zúžit pátrání. http://www.osel.cz/13793-blizka-supernova-by-mohla-ukoncit-hon-na-temnou-hmotu.html

The best cozy games during a stressful Thanksgiving season

For many, video games are loud, violent, and competitive. But for some they are the opposite: quiet, soft, and low-stakes. Welcome to the world of cozy gaming. 

In our world of relentless headlines, many find solace in these comforting digital realms, where the gravest mistake you can make is forgetting to hit save. Following the election cycle, cozy gaming is “reassuring during turbulent times,” as one gamer said in a recent interview with

Will AI be a game changer in developing countries?

To read this text and its propositions, the reader must accept two inferences as true:

The first is that using AI involves the application of statistical methods to identify patterns, propose hypotheses (predictive, generative AI), simulate, and ultimately stimulate scenarios. In other words, it aims to solve significant problems through rigid or incremental innovation.

The second is that most collective issues share the common need for the state’s role in regulating, med

‘PDF to brainrot’ tools are bringing TikTok visuals to Gen Alpha’s academics

Crypto, online betting, and vaping: Welcome to the Trump economy

From tariffs and big tech, to impacts on the free market—everyone wants to know what Trump’s return to office means for the business world. To cut through the noise, political scientist Ian Bremmer offers his insights. Bremmer, the founder and president of the global political risk firm, The Eurasia Group, reveals his thoughts on which industries are poised to thrive under a second Trump term, and what Elon Musk’s position means for U.S. capitalism.

5 ways AI should be fixing travel planning right now

Recently, I attempted to plan a road trip through Canada. What should have been exciting—imagining stunning national parks and scenic drives—became a digital nightmare of juggling 50 different websites. Just figuring out the basics was exhausting: Could I take my dog to the parks? Were there direct flights? What activities would be good for my three kids? What’s the best driving route? Each question spawned five new browser tabs.

‘Speech should be open to all’: Bluesky COO Rose Wang on the platform’s radical vision for social media

Conceived of by Twitter cofounder Jack Dorsey in 2019 and spun out of Twitter in 2022, just before Elon Musk took over, Bluesky came out of beta in February 2024 and found an eager, if relatively small audience. The social media platform—which, at first glance, looks remarkably similar to X—had amassed roughly 13 million users by the end of October. Then Donald Trump was reelected, with an assist from Elon Musk. Now, the site has more than

The future according to Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis used to get some of his most fulfilling work done between midnight and 3 a.m. A self-described “nocturnal person,” the Londoner devoted the solitude of his overnight shift to catching up on scientific papers, coming up with new ideas, and just plain thinking.

Lately, however, even Hassabis’s wee hours are in demand. Much of his team is now based at Google’s home turf in Silicon Valley, where it’s eight hours earlier. As a consequence, vi

‘Throning’: Dating apps have given new life to this old-school trend

It’s no secret that connections can open doors. Well, the same applies to romantic connections, and a new dating trend seems to be taking that advice and running with it.

2025 will be the year of the CIO and CMO collaboration

Same executive board, different roles. Historically, that’s been how CIOs and CMOs work and operate across a company. But as we close out 2024, this siloed approach must come to an end. For brands to be more relevant, competitive, and innovative in 2025, they need to identify and invest in opportunities for synergy and collaboration between these two roles. After all, the CIO and the CMO will be the most powerful voices in the room in 2025.
