☆ Returning samples from Mars will require a new plan, NASA says
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-15 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

CNN —NASA is seeking innovative methods that could help retrieve samples collected by the Perseverance rover on Mars in the future. The original design for the Mars Sample Return program, a partnership between NASA and the European Space Agency, was a complex one. Reviews of the program have recommended that the Mars Sample return should not cost more than $5 billion to $7 billion, Nelson said. “Mars Sample Return will be one of the most complex missions NASA has ever undertaken. “We are operating from the premise that this is an important national objective that we return the samples,” Nelson said.

I think Jensen deserves one day a year when he can trace out a vision without a per share attached to it. Sure, plenty of people in line Saturday would, correctly I think, say to "own it, don't trade it." Sure, I was sweating "own it, don't trade it." And, can you imagine if you owned but didn't trade Intel from 1990 to 2000? (Don't tell current Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger, who thinks it is still alive.)

☆ Mysterious flashes of light on Venus aren't what scientists thought, according to a new study. And it could mean safer missions to the planet in the future.

For years, scientists have observed flashes of light on Venus and thought they were lightning. That's good news for future missions to Venus since lightning would pose a threat to spacecraft. One reason the researchers don't think it's lightning is because of Venus' radio silence. AdvertisementAdvertisementThat's good news for future missions to Venus; if the flashes were lightning, it could pose a threat to probes entering the planet's atmosphere, according to NASA. AdvertisementAdvertisementNASA plans to send the DAVINCI probe to study Venus' clouds and geology in 2031 and hopefully retrieve other data when its atmospheric descent probe makes contact with the surface.

☆ AI expert is a hot new position in the freelance jobs market
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-10 | by ( Ophelia Anwah | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +6 min

Three years ago, becoming an AI expert would involve "deep knowledge in machine learning algorithms, deep learning AI in general, and a lot of technical things," said Hu, who works through Fiverr on chatbot implementation projects. The rise of generative AI is rapidly reshaping the freelance tech job market, with AI-related job posts from employers and searches among job seekers surging across career and freelance job platforms, including LinkedIn, Upwork and Fiverr. There is opportunity for freelancers expert in AI to take advantage of the lack of AI skills among existing industry professionals, across sectors of the economy. She added that independent methods of education, including YouTube videos or blogs focused on AI skills, are becoming more sought after in the workforce. Hu said to start with the basics, including use of OpenAI tools, like ChatGPT, ChatGPT API, Dall-E, and davinci.

☆ A new audiobook of AI-generated poems has an unlikely narrator: Werner Herzog
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-16 | by ( Will Gendron | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Werner Herzog, acclaimed German director, narrated an audiobook of AI-generated poetry. The book was a collaboration between childhood friends Brent Katz, Josh Morgenthau, and Simon Rich who reconnected with Dan Selsam, another childhood friend and current OpenAI scientist, at a wedding, Katz told Insider over email. The resulting collection of dozens of poems released on August 1 is told from the AI's own perspective. After the book's publisher made contact with Herzog, Katz managed to connect with him directly over email. "On one performance (I forget the poem), he was so happy with his first take that he said, 'And in fact, I refuse to do it again,'" Katz told Insider of directing Herzog during recording.

▼ + stars: | 2023-02-06 | by ( Travis Clark | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

An AI-powered comedy shoe trained by "Seinfeld" episodes was suspended from Twitch. The stream, called "Nothing, Forever," had made transphobic comments shortly before the suspension. The notice doesn't specify the reason for the suspension, but it came soon after Sunday night's stream included transphobic and anti-LGBTQ+ comments, according to Vice. One of the "Nothing, Forever" creators, called Xander, said on Discord that the suspension is for 14 days, according to Vice. "We've appealed the ban, and we'll let you know as we know more on what Twitch decides," Xander said.

Social media users have shared a video that they claim shows a meteor falling into the Baltic Sea near Germany. Contrary to this claim, the video does not show an actual meteor strike; it was created by a visual effects artist. Reuters found that a visual effects artist, Elias Willnat, originally shared the clip on Instagram (here) as well as on YouTube in August 2022 (bit.ly/3Vm7DRN). Willnat also clearly mentions on YouTube that the video was created using design software After Effects and Davinci Resolve. A visual effects artist created the video.

☆ NASA a anunțat două noi misiuni pe planeta Venus
▼ + stars: | 2021-06-03 | by ( Publika.Md - Aici Sunt Știrile | ) www.publika.md time to read: +1 min

După decenii de explorare a altor planete, NASA își întoarce privirea către Venus, cea mai fierbinte planetă a sistemului solar, pe care a explorat-o ultima dată în 1989, cu nava spațială Magellan, informează Euronews. Noul administrator al NASA, Bill Nelson, a anunțat, miercuri, viitoarele misiuni spațiale pe Venus, în timpul primei sale întâlniri cu angajații agenției spațiale americane. Prima misiune, denumită DaVinci Plus, va analiza compoziţia atmosferei, în încercarea de a stabili dacă pe suprafaţa „planetei infernului” a existat la un moment dat un ocean. În perioada de început a explorării spațiale, SUA și fosta Uniune Sovietică au trimis mai multe misiuni pe planeta Venus. Ultimele aterizări pe planeta Venus au fost făcute în iunie 1985 de misiunile Vega 1 și Vega 2 ale fostei Uniuni Sovietice.

NASA îşi doreşte să trimită noi misiuni de cercetare pe planeta Venus până în 2030. DAVINCI + va măsura compoziţia atmosferei dense a planetei Venus şi va explora modul în care a evoluat aceasta. Între timp, VERITAS va cartografia suprafaţa planetei din orbită pentru a putea înţelege natura sa geologică şi de ce s-a dezvoltat atât de diferit faţă de Pământ. Oamenii de ştiinţă presupun că a doua planetă din sistemul solar împărtăşeşte caracteristici comune la nivelul suprafeţei care pot fi comparabile cu continentele Pământului şi sugerează că pe Venus ar exista plăci tectonice. Ultima misiune către Venus a fost în 1994, când sonda spaţială Magellan a plonjat în atmosfera fierbinte a planetei pentru a culege informaţii despre aceasta, relateaza Sky News.

NASA объявило, что отправляет на Венеру две новые миссии для изучения атмосферы и геологических особенностей планеты. Эти миссии под названиями Миссия Davinci+ и Veritas, каждая из которых получила финансирование в размере $500 млн, должны быть запущены в период с 2028 по 2030 года. "NASA выбрало две новые миссии к Венере - ближайшему к Земле соседу-планете. Цель миссий - понять, как Венера стала адом, когда у нее имеется столько характеристик, сходных с характеристиками нашей планеты", - сообщается на сайте NASA. Новые миссии были отобраны на основе их потенциальной научной ценности и осуществимости их планов развития.
