Anthropic has released a new public beta feature for its Claude 3.5 Sonnet AI model, allowing it to control computers like a human does by viewing a screen and interacting with it in various ways. The “computer use” feature is now available on the API and enables developers to direct Claude to work on a … Read more
Mark Cuban, billionaire entrepreneur and Shark Tank investor, shares his secret to starting a lucrative side hustle that can pay 6 figures a year without requiring a degree. Cuban would start by learning how to write prompts for artificial intelligence language models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini. He would then teach friends how to … Read more
A recent study published in the journal Brain, Behavior, and Immunity has discovered a connection between ancient viral DNA embedded in the human genome and the genetic risk for two major neurodegenerative diseases: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers from King’s College London and Northwell Health identified specific human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) … Read more
Ghostpulse malware loader has evolved to hide its malicious payload within pixels of a PNG image file, making it increasingly difficult to detect. This technique is part of the malware’s social engineering tactics, which also involve tricking victims into downloading and executing the payload. Security experts say this change is “one of the most significant” … Read more
Google Chrome’s omnibox, often overlooked by users beyond developers, offers numerous features that simplify tasks, save time, and enhance productivity. From searching bookmarks to making notes, these lesser-known capabilities make the browser an indispensable tool. To start, type “@gemini” in the address bar followed by your prompt for a chatbot query. This integration with Google … Read more
A simple test can help you make better career decisions by distinguishing between genuine reasons and rationalizations that hold you back from pursuing your goals. To start, consider the words “want,” “should,” and “but” when evaluating options. Your brain may discount good choices, especially if they require taking risks, due to a tendency towards self-protection … Read more
ENG8, a Gibraltar-based company, has achieved a world-first milestone in power generation with its catalyzed fusion system. The EnergiCells reactor, based on low energy nuclear reactions (LENR) technology, can produce electricity indefinitely without any external input power. This self-powering system will also export net electricity, marking a significant breakthrough in the pursuit of fusion energy. … Read more
Researchers at Kumamoto University have made a groundbreaking discovery that sheds light on the inflammatory process linked to aging, known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The study reveals that blocking ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY), an enzyme involved in converting citrate to acetyl-CoA, can reduce inflammation-related gene expression in aging cells. The researchers found that ACLY … Read more
