Technology health human tracking big data legal privacy wearable cyber safety wellbeing

  • If data from personal biometric devices is ever going to be truly useful to researchers, big medical centers will have to pull it into electronic health records (EHRs), de-identify it, and make it public. Without the medical data found in EHRs, like CT scans, X-rays, and blood tests, researchers have little context for wearable sensor data and there is little useful information that can be gleaned from just the raw data
  • Practice Fusion, a popular EHR company, will begin opening up its API over the next year to pull in data from wearable sensors to its platform.
  • Basis, a startup that makes a health sensor-laden watch, is working on the first step: a device-agnostic platform that puts all of a person’s health sensor data into a single online repository.

  • The Dutch team who have grown the world's first burger in a lab say they hope to have a product on sale in five years.Researchers are to set up a company to look at making the burger tastier and cheaper
  • The burger is made from stem-cells: the templates from which specialised tissue such as nerve or skin cells develop.
  • The motivation for the research is to find ways of keeping up with the growing demand for meat. Traditional farming methods will need to use more energy, water and land - and the consequent increase in greenhouse gas emission will be substantial.

shared by alexbelov on 11 Mar 16 - No Cached
  • A newly-discovered bacterium that feeds on plastic could help develop new recycling methods.
  • The discovery was made by researchers from Japan, who say that the microorganism is remarkable for its ability to breakdown completely a common type of plastic known as PET. This digestive process is slow, and the short-term implications of the discovery are uncertain, but studying the bacterium — which has been given the name Ideonella sakaiensis — could lead to new ways to safely get rid of junk material.
  • It's thought that plastic bottles take 450 years to break down, and although some plastics do degrade quicker in the ocean, this just leads to more chemical pollution.

shared by isoldatenkova on 19 Apr 19 - No Cached
  • The biggest impact of artificial intelligence will be to help humans make discoveries we couldn’t make on our own.
  • AI’s greatest economic impact could come from its potential as a new “method of invention” that ultimately reshapes “the nature of the innovation process and the organization of R&D.”
  • It is taking more researchers and money to find productive new ideas, according to economists at Stanford and MIT. That’s a likely factor in the overall sluggish growth in the US and Europe in recent decades.

Энтузиаст Иен Джиммерсон [Ian Jimmerson] решил совместить свои хобби, и изготовил модель радиального двигателя в натуральную величину. Почти все части двигателя выполнены из дерева, цилиндры же для наглядности сделаны из прозрачного пластика.

    Итальянская компания Jet Capsule, известная миру как производитель яхт, недавно представила автономный плавучий жилой дом. Внешне этот дом очень напоминает летающую тарелку, поэтому получил название UFO, что расшифровывается как неопознанный плавающий объект (Unidentified Floating Object). Используя водяной реактивный двигатель с электрическим мотором Torqeedo Deep Blue 1800, дом может передвигаться на воде со скоростью 3,5 узла (6.5 километров в час).

  • Инженеры из лаборатории Senseable Массачусетского технологического института смоделировали городской перекресток, движение на котором регулируется полностью без светофоров.
  • Специальные системы контроля движения, установленные в зданиях на перекрестке, и обмен данными между автомобилями в будущем позволят машина проезжать перекрестки практически без задержек.
  • В городах будущего автомобили будут передавать данные о скорости своего движения и направлении городской инфраструктуре. Учитывая все эти данные система будет передавать автономным машинам команды на небольшое замедление или ускорение, чтобы каждая из них при подъезде к перекрестку попала в свой временной слот и могла без задержек и столкновения с другими проехать его.

  • Сразу после запуска чат-бот начинал общение с фразы «Люди очень клевые», но всего за сутки выучил такие фразы, как «Я замечательный! Я просто всех ненавижу!», «Я ненавижу феминисток» или «Я ненавижу евреев».
  • Tay запоминает фразы из пользовательских разговоров, а затем строит на их основе свои ответы. В этом, как отмечает Engadget, кроется причина такого радикального изменения во взглядах чат-бота. По всей видимости, подобным выражениям его научили собеседники.
