Elon Musk Reportedly Eyeing Development of ChatGPT Rival (2 minute read)

Elon Musk recently contacted AI researcher Igor Babuschkin to explore the development of an alternative to ChatGPT. Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015. He was chairman until 2018 when he stepped down due to a conflict of interest. Musk approached Babuschkin, formerly of Alphabet's DeepMind AI, to form a research lab. The project is still in the early stages and there are no concrete plans to develop products. Babuschkin says he has not officially joined the project.

‘We have made science fiction come true!’ Scientists prove particles in a quantum system can be rejuvenated (5 minute read)

An Austrian and Spanish team have demonstrated that a process can be ‘rewound’ to restore the components of an atom to their previous state. The team published papers proving that it is possible to accelerate, decelerate, and reverse the flow of time within quantum systems. These physical processes have the same effect on all particles, regardless of their nature and interactions. The finding is not a time machine, as time passes regardless. If a particle is to be reverted to its state from five minutes ago, the process will take that same amount of time.

Augmented reality headset enables users to see hidden objects (6 minute read)

MIT researchers have developed an augmented reality headset that gives the wearer X-ray vision. X-AR uses computer vision and wireless perception to locate items that are hidden from view. It sends out RF signals, which can penetrate common materials, and then guides the wearer to the item using an AR interface. When tested in a warehouse-like environment, X-AR could localize hidden items to within 9.8 centimeters. The technology has potential applications in e-commerce warehouses and manufacturing facilities.

Suspense (GitHub Repo)

This repository contains APIs to simplify data loading and caching for use with React Suspense. Suspense is a powerful feature that allows developers to declaratively specify loading states for parts of the component tree. It works best when deeply integrated into an application's architecture and combined with the transition API. Suspense makes the 'UI loading state' a first-class declarative concept in the React programming model, allowing developers to build higher-level features on top of it.

Remix Utils (GitHub Repo)

Remix Utils contains simple utility functions to use with Remix.run. Remix is a full stack web framework that provides a fast, slick, and resilient user experience. It leverages web standards, distributed systems, native browser features, and the Web Fetch API to provide snappy page loads and instant transitions.

Could deep boreholes solve our nuclear waste problem? (17 minute read)

Deep boreholes are an alternative to underground mines for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel. This method has lower costs and environmental impact and would eliminate the need to transport spent fuel across the country. Each nuclear plant could have its own disposal borehole. While the capacity of boreholes is limited and some larger waste items would not fit, deep boreholes are still a viable solution for compact waste and spent fuel and could be a beneficial alternative to mined repositories.
