Mental health matters just as much as physical health, and boys should know it needs to be a priority. Nutrition and exerciseDuring puberty, boys’ bodies grow rapidly, and they need the right fuel to keep up. Boys need to understand that what they see online isn’t always real. Boys need to know that it’s OK to ask questions — whether it’s about feelings, their changing bodies or anything else. By creating an environment in which boys feel comfortable talking about their health, we’re giving them the tools they need to navigate a time of massive change.

As the art market shows signs of slowing, London is looking to attract a new generation of art buyers — and showcase young emerging artists in the process. Global art sales slid 4% year-on-year in 2023, according to the Art Basel & UBS Art Market Report 2024, falling to $65 billion after two years of growth. But now we are seeing more the 25- to 35-[year-old] buyers," he told CNBC's "The Art of Appreciation." HOFA represents artist Sougwen Chung, who uses a robot Chung designed to co-create work. "It was really, really interesting, because we could see my own stylistic input, my own decision making … transferred and translated into a machine system," they said.

AdvertisementNeuralink is launching a trial to see if patients can use its brain implant can control a robot arm. Musk previously said Neuralink could be combined with robotic limbs to create a "Luke Skywalker solution." Neuralink has successfully implanted its brain chip in two human patients — and now it wants to hook it up to a robotic arm. Elon Musk's brain implant startup said on Monday that it was launching a trial to test whether patients could use the Neuralink implant to control an "investigational assistive robotic arm." But using Neuralink's brain implant to control robotic limbs has long been part of Elon Musk's vision for the company.

Hummingbirds’ Flight Offers Clues to Improve Drones
  + stars: | 2024-11-26 | by ( Jim Robbins | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Their sophisticated flying abilities have captured the attention of robot designers, especially those studying the use of drones in modern warfare. “Hummingbirds are the best flyers out there,” said Bret Tobalske, professor of biology and director of the Flight Lab at the University of Montana. The Flight Lab, accustomed to looking at the ecology, evolution and biomechanics of bird flight, is part of a broad effort, funded largely by U.S. defense dollars, to build a better robotic hummingbird. “A real hummingbird can fly circles around robotic humming birds,” Dr. Tobalske said. “They can fly circles around real birds too.”

Such a company would be a major longshot: Loosararian had very little work experience or seed money, and no tech industry connections. After graduating college in 2013, Loosararian co-founded Pittsburgh-based Gecko Robotics. He worked 100-hour weeks to save "$30,000 or $40,000" and fund his startup's first few years of existence, he says. Today, Gecko Robotics is a fast-growing robotics company with $220 million in funding, including a $100 million fundraising round last year that valued Gecko at $633 million.

Munster, managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, said he isn't holding his breath for an Apple TV. Munster said it's still a "painful topic" since he spent a lot of time looking into the Apple TV and was emphatic that it would happen. However, in 2014, another author, Yukari Iwatani Kane, wrote in "Haunted Empire: Apple After Steve Jobs" that Jobs told Apple employees in 2010 that a TV set wasn't happening. The lesson Munster learned about a company assembling a team and putting resources behind projects that may remain on the shelf continues to apply. Still, Munster's lesson didn't stop him from making a plea for CEO Tim Cook to bring the Apple TV to shelves.

Steve Jobs had apparently had mixed feelings about Apple entering the TV market before his death. Apple cofounder Steve Jobs reportedly made it clear before he died that Apple wouldn't pursue its own television set, but the company may now be revisiting the idea over a decade later. Jobs reportedly told biographer Walter Isaacson that he'd "finally cracked" how to make TVs simpler to use. In 2014, writer and former Apple beat reporter Yukari Iwatani Kane wrote in her book, "Haunted Empire: Apple After Steve Jobs," that Jobs told top Apple employees in 2010 that the company wouldn't be making a TV set. Apple's services business, which includes Apple TV+ subscriptions, has boomed in recent quarters.

This week, researchers shared fascinating new findings on Uranus, the seventh planet from the sun, and the far side of the moon. Other worldsIllustrations depict how Uranus' magnetosphere, or protective bubble, was behaving before Voyager 2's arrival (left) and during the spacecraft's flyby (right). An unusual cosmic occurrence during the Voyager 2 spacecraft’s 1986 flyby might have skewed how scientists characterized the ice giant, new research suggests. In particular, the spacecraft’s observations of Uranus’ protective magnetosphere were wildly different from astronomers’ expectations. Fortunately, sending a dedicated mission to study Uranus in the future is a priority for NASA, according to a 2022 report.

Lebaredian is vice president of omniverse and simulation technology at Nvidia, reporting directly to CEO Jensen Huang. "AI is essentially bridging this computing to physical world divide, and that essentially is robotics," Lebaredian told Business Insider. The Nvidia veteran is building a virtual world faithful to the real world so that robots can use it to practice tasks and learn. "The key here is that the simulation that we use has to match the real world as closely as possible so that what it learns inside that virtual world is transferable to the real world. If it learns inside a cartoon world with cartoon physics, it's not going to behave properly when it gets into the real world," he said.
