[44]dcblogs shares a report from TechTarget: A National Bureau of Economic Research study [45]found that generative AI [46]boosts productivity by 14%, reduces stress, and increases employee retention in customer support roles. The workers who gained the most from this automation were newer and less experienced. Customer support is a stressful job. "A key part of agents' jobs is to absorb customer frustrations while restraining one's own emotional reaction," the paper noted. But generative AI can act as an aide, using the customer's chats as input and providing suggestions for empathetic responses and problem-solving in real-time. The study found that generative AI reduced the likelihood of customers wanting to escalate issues to a supervisor. But it's just one study, caution analyst. David Creelman, CEO of Creelman Research in Toronto, cautioned against putting too much weight on one study. "It's too soon to start making conclusions about where this will have an impact and how big that impact will be," he said. apply tags__________ 170833284 story [47]Science [48]'Game Changer' Method Lets Scientists Peer Into -- and Fly Through -- Mouse Bodies [49](science.org) [50]5 Posted by [51]BeauHD on Thursday April 27, 2023 @03:00AM from the cholesterol-free dept. [52]sciencehabit shares a report from Science Magazine: A research team has [53]turned the bodies of dead mice into vivid 3D maps of anatomy, with tissues, nerves, and vessels highlighted in color. The technique, which renders the corpses transparent and then exposes them to fluorescent antibodies that label distinct cell types, could help everything from drug development to understanding the spread of cancer, its creators and other scientists say. The developers, at the Helmholtz Munich research institute, call their technique wildDISCO -- wild because it can work on any "wild type," or normal, mice, and DISCO for 3D imaging of solvent-cleared organs. Building on their previous success at making mouse bodies transparent, the new technique removes cholesterol from the bodies so that a vast array of existing antibodies can penetrate deep into the animals. "wildDISCO is a game changer -- it allows us to see the hidden highways and byways in the body," says Muzlifah Haniffa, a dermatologist and immunologist at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and Newcastle University's Biosciences Institute who was not involved in the research. The method should let scientists map a mouse at the cellular level and explore previously hidden links between tissues, like neural connections between organs, says neuroscientist Ali Erturk, director of Helmholtz Munich, who led the work, posted recently as [54]a preprint. His group in Germany has already [55]posted eye-catching videos of "flying" through the 3D anatomy of a mouse with different tissues labeled. apply tags__________ 170833202 story [56]Biotech [57]The First IVF Babies Conceived By a Robot Have Been Born [58](technologyreview.com) [59]27 Posted by [60]BeauHD on Wednesday April 26, 2023 @11:30PM from the sperm-injecting-robots dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from MIT Technology Review: Last spring, engineers in Barcelona packed up the sperm-injecting robot they'd designed and sent it by DHL to New York City. They followed it to a clinic there, called New Hope Fertility Center, where they put the instrument back together, assembling a microscope, a mechanized needle, a tiny petri dish, and a laptop. Then one of the engineers, with no real experience in fertility medicine, used a Sony PlayStation 5 controller to position a robotic needle. Eyeing a human egg through a camera, it then moved forward on its own, penetrating the egg and dropping off a single sperm cell. Altogether, the robot was used to fertilize more than a dozen eggs. The result of the procedures, say the researchers, were healthy embryos—and now two baby girls, who they claim are the [61]first people born after fertilization by a "robot." The startup company that developed the robot, Overture Life, says its device is an initial step toward automating in vitro fertilization, or IVF, and potentially making the procedure less expensive and far more common than it is today. Right now, IVF labs are multimillion-dollar affairs staffed by trained embryologists who earn upwards of $125,000 a year to delicately handle sperm and eggs using ultra-thin hollow needles under a microscope. But some startups say the entire process could be carried out automatically, or nearly so. Overture, for instance, has filed a patent application describing a "biochip" for an IVF lab in miniature, complete with hidden reservoirs containing growth fluids, and tiny channels for sperm to wiggle through. "Think of a box where sperm and eggs go in, and an embryo comes out five days later," says Santiago Munne, the prize-winning geneticist who is chief innovation officer at the Spanish company. He believes that if IVF could be carried out inside a desktop instrument, patients might never need to visit a specialized clinic, where a single attempt at getting pregnant can cost $20,000 in the US. Instead, he says, a patient's eggs might be fed directly into an automated fertility system at a gynecologist's office. "It has to be cheaper. And if any doctor could do it, it would be," says Munne. apply tags__________ 170833234 story [62]Stats [63]Nate Silver To Leave FiveThirtyEight [64](hollywoodreporter.com) [65]27 Posted by [66]BeauHD on Wednesday April 26, 2023 @10:02PM from the predicted-to-happen dept.

According to a recent [78]Twitter post from Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt, the robotaxi service is [79]now operating all day in San Francisco. The post says we will soon see Cruise "open up full operations in other cities," which may soon include Dallas, Texas, according to a [80]recent job listing. From the report: According to a recent [81]LinkedIn post from Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt, the robotaxi network is now running 24/7 rides across San Francisco, beginning with employees. As The Kilowatts points out on Twitter, nonemployees in the San Francisco area are still limited to about one-third of the city between f 10:00 p.m. and 5:30 a.m. In his post, Vogt said that in accordance with safety policies, around-the-clock public rides will roll out "very soon." Cruise is a robotaxi startup founded in the San Francisco Bay area in 2013. In the last decade, the company (along with plenty of support from GM) has made tremendous progress in its home state of California, where it continues to try and expand. Services that began in San Francisco have since grown to Phoenix, Arizona, and, most recently, Austin, Texas. In February, the Cruise president, CEO, and cofounder, Kyle Vogt, shared that the company had surpassed one million miles driven without anyone behind the wheel. In many ways, the city by the bay has become a proving ground for Cruise's electric robotaxis, and its hilly, congested terrain will act as a testing site for yet another major milestone -- around-the-clock robotaxi operations. apply tags__________ 170832670 story [82]Cellphones [83]Motorola Unveils Co-Branded Lenovo 'ThinkPhone' [84](theverge.com) [85]12 Posted by [86]BeauHD on Wednesday April 26, 2023 @08:45PM from the new-and-shiny dept. The Lenovo ThinkPhone by Motorola is being [87]launched today in the U.S. for $699. It's the first co-branded phone from Motorola that arrives nine years after Lenovo purchased the Motorola brand [88]for $2.91 billion. According to The Verge, the smartphone offers "a suite of productivity features designed to work with ThinkPad laptops." From the report: The ThinkPhone has a lot of the same stuff as a mainstream flagship phone, even though it's priced just below the likes of the $799 Samsung Galaxy S23. It comes with a big 6.6-inch 1080p OLED with up to 144Hz refresh rate. Build quality is quite sturdy with an aluminum frame, Gorilla Glass on the front panel, and Lenovo's signature textured aramid fiber back panel for a softer touch. The whole device is IP68 rated for strong dust and water resistance, and it's also MIL-STD-810H compliant to protect against falls and more extreme conditions. In addition to the ThinkPad-like look and feel, there's a red key on the side of the phone in a nod to Lenovo's classic keyboard nub. You can customize it to a degree: a double-press can be assigned one of the phone's ThinkPad integration features, while a single-press can act as an app shortcut. Some apps will even let you launch certain features -- mapping it to the "Pay" screen of the Starbucks app could save you a lot of embarrassing fumbling at the register, for example. The ThinkPhone is available first to enterprise customers, with general availability on April 28th via Motorola.com. apply tags__________ 170832596 story [89]AI [90]Nvidia Releases a Toolkit To Make Text-Generating AI 'Safer' [91](techcrunch.com) [92]30 Posted by [93]BeauHD on Wednesday April 26, 2023 @08:02PM from the not-a-silver-bullet dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: In pursuit of "safer" text-generating models, Nvidia today released NeMo Guardrails, an open source toolkit [94]aimed at making AI-powered apps more "accurate, appropriate, on topic and secure." Jonathan Cohen, the VP of applied research at Nvidia, says the company has been working on Guardrails' underlying system for "many years" but just about a year ago realized it was a good fit for models along the lines of GPT-4 and ChatGPT. "We've been developing toward this release of NeMo Guardrails ever since," Cohen told TechCrunch via email. "AI model safety tools are critical to deploying models for enterprise use cases." Guardrails includes code, examples and documentation to "add safety" to AI apps that generate text as well as speech. Nvidia claims that the toolkit is designed to work with most generative language models, allowing developers to create rules using a few lines of code. Specifically, Guardrails can be used to prevent -- or at least attempt to prevent -- models from veering off topic, responding with inaccurate information or toxic language and making connections to "unsafe" external sources. Think keeping a customer service assistant from answering questions about the weather, for instance, or a search engine chatbot from linking to disreputable academic journals. "Ultimately, developers control what is out of bounds for their application with Guardrails," Cohen said. "They may develop guardrails that are too broad or, conversely, too narrow for their use case." While companies like Zapier are using Guardrails to add a layer of safety to their generative models, Nvidia acknowledges that the toolkit isn't imperfect; it won't catch everything, in other words. Cohen also notes that Guardrails works best with models that are "sufficiently good at instruction-following," a la ChatGPT, and that use the popular [95]LangChain framework for building AI-powered apps. That disqualifies some of the open source options out there. And -- effectiveness of the tech aside -- it must be emphasized that Nvidia isn't necessarily releasing Guardrails out of the goodness of its heart. It's a part of the company's NeMo framework, which is available through Nvidia's enterprise AI software suite and its NeMo fully managed cloud service. Any company can implement the open source release of Guardrails, but Nvidia would surely prefer that they pay for the hosted version instead. apply tags__________ 170832482 story [96]Hardware [97]Amazon Shuts Down Halo Division, Discontinues All Devices [98](theverge.com) [99]17 Posted by [100]BeauHD on Wednesday April 26, 2023 @07:20PM from the they-never-stood-a-chance dept. According to The Verge, Amazon is [101]shuttering its health-focused Halo division. All three Halo products will be discontinued and portions of the Halo team will be laid off. From the report: "We have made the difficult decision to wind down the Halo program, which will result in role reductions," Melissa Cha, Amazon's VP of smart home and health, told staffers in an email obtained by The Verge. "More recently, Halo has faced significant headwinds, including an increasingly crowded segment and an uncertain economic environment. Although our customers love many aspects of Halo, we must prioritize resources and maximize benefits to customers and the long-term health of the business." "We continually evaluate the progress and potential of our products to deliver customer value, and we regularly make adjustments based on those assessments," Amazon spokesperson Kristy Schmidt told The Verge in an email. "We recently made the difficult decision to stop supporting Amazon Halo effective July 31, 2023. We are incredibly proud of the invention and hard work that went into building Halo on behalf of our customers, and our priorities are taking care of our customers and supporting our employees." The company [102]says it will refund customers who bought a Halo devices or accessory band in the last 12 months. "All unused prepaid Halo subscription fees will be refunded, and users will no longer be charged," adds The Verge. Early adopters, like myself, are out of luck. In related news, Amazon kicked off [103]another round of layoffs today, impacting its cloud computing and human resources divisions. apply tags__________ 170833126 story [104]Businesses [105]Meta Records Almost $4 Billion Loss On Metaverse In First Quarter [106](cnbc.com) [107]56 Posted by [108]BeauHD on Wednesday April 26, 2023 @06:40PM from the still-better-than-expected dept. In its first-quarter [109]earnings report today, Meta said its virtual reality and augmented reality unit, Reality Labs, [110]recorded a $3.99 billion operating loss. The unit generated just $339 million in revenue. CNBC reports: The numbers show a slowdown from last quarter, when Reality Labs lost $4.28 billion on $727 million of revenue. For all of last year, Reality Labs recorded an operating loss of $13.72 billion on $2.16 billion in sales, underscoring how VR and AR technologies have yet to reach the mainstream. Despite Reality Labs' operating loss, Meta posted first-quarter net earnings of $5.71 billion, or $2.20 a share, with revenue up less than 3% to $28.65 billion from $27.91 billion a year ago. This sent its stock soaring more than 10% in extended trading Wednesday. "Facebook had 2.04 billion daily active users, up 5% from a year ago, and the 'family' of Meta apps -- which includes Instagram -- reported daily active users of 3.02 billion, up 4%," [111]adds MarketWatch. apply tags__________ 170832456 story [112]China [113]Yuan Overtakes Dollar To Become Most-Used Currency In China's Cross-Border Transactions [114](reuters.com) [115]36 Posted by [116]BeauHD on Wednesday April 26, 2023 @06:02PM from the that's-a-first dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from Reuters: The yuan became the most widely-used currency for cross-border transactions in China in March, [117]overtaking the dollar for the first time, official data showed, reflecting efforts by Beijing to internationalize use of the yuan. Cross-border payments and receipts in yuan rose to a record $549.9 billion in March from $434.5 billion a month earlier, according to Reuters calculation based on data from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. The yuan was used in 48.4% of all cross-border transactions, Reuters calculated, while the dollar's share declined to 46.7% from 48.6% a month earlier. The volume of cross-border transactions covers both the current and capital accounts. According to data from SWIFT, the yuan's share of global currency transactions for trade finance rose to 4.5% in March, while the dollar accounted for 83.71%. apply tags__________ 170831928 story [118]United States [119]Inmates Are Using VR To Learn Real-World Skills [120]27 Posted by msmash on Wednesday April 26, 2023 @05:25PM from the closer-look dept. Corrections systems are using simulators to [121]provide incarcerated individuals with more lifelike instruction. But is it working? From a report: Atorrus Rainer, 41, is standing in the center of a stuffy room wearing a virtual-reality headset. Every so often, he extends his arm, using the VR controller to pick up garbage bags, a toothbrush, and toilet paper during a simulated trip to the supermarket. The self-checkout station overwhelms him: those didn't exist in 2001, when Rainer, then a teenager, was sentenced to more than 100 years in prison. His first experience with one is this virtual interaction taking place inside Fremont Correctional Facility, a medium-security prison about two hours south of Denver. Rainer is practicing in the hopes of stepping into a real store in the near future through an initiative launched in Colorado in 2017 in response to US Supreme Court rulings that deemed juvenile life without parole sentences unconstitutional. People who meet certain requirements -- for example, if they were under 21 when they committed felony crimes and have been incarcerated for a minimum of 20 to 30 years -- can apply to work through the three-year Juveniles and Young Adults Convicted as Adults Program (JYACAP) in an effort to earn early parole. The premise of JYACAP is that learning the basic skills they missed the chance to acquire while incarcerated will provide these juvenile lifers with their best chances for success upon release. That's a formidable challenge. Because of safety concerns, they have had limited access to the internet. Though they're now adults, many have never used, or even seen, a smartphone or a laptop. Or had a credit card. "We had to figure out a way of giving them these opportunities in a restricted environment," says Melissa Smith, interim director of prisons for the Colorado Department of Corrections. Though its use is not yet widespread, a handful of state corrections departments, from Ohio to New Mexico, have turned to virtual reality as an answer. The goals vary from helping reduce aggressive behavior to facilitating empathy with victims to, as in Colorado's case, reducing recidivism. Though the state's prison budget sits close to $1 billion, Colorado has one of the worst return-to-prison rates in the country, at around 50%. Nationally, as many as two-thirds of the 600,000 people released from state and federal prisons each year will be rearrested within three years. apply tags__________ 170831914 story [122]News [123]'High Risk of Biological Hazard' In Sudan After Fighters Seize Biolab, WHO Says [124](vice.com) [125]40 Posted by msmash on Wednesday April 26, 2023 @04:45PM from the growing-concern dept. The World Health Organization (WHO) said there's a "[126]high risk of biological hazard" in Khartoum, the capitol of Sudan, after a biolab containing deadly pathogens was seized by fighters. From a report: There's a war in Sudan right now as two rival generals struggle for power. After a week of fighting, one of the factions has seized the National Public Health Laboratory which contains samples of measles, cholera, polio, and other diseases. Now, lab workers are unable to return to the facility and secure the hazardous materials. "This is the main concern: no accessibility to the lab technicians to go to the lab and safely contain the biological material and substances available," Nima Saeed Abid, the WHO's representative in Sudan, told reporters on Tuesday. According to the lab's website, it contains "reference laboratories related to the control of some diseases such as polio, measles, tuberculosis, malaria and AIDS." The lab is engaged in various aspects of studying and controlling diseases, including identifying pathogens, testing for them, and sending samples to international labs. The work is aimed at preventing and identifying possible epidemics, and the lab works with the WHO. The fighting in Sudan has already killed 459 people and injured 4,072, and the release of a deadly pathogen would lead to more suffering. The fighting is between generals Abdel Fattah Burhan and Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo. Burhan is the head of the country's military and Dagalo is the leader of a paramilitary group called the Rapid Support Forces. The RSF got its start as a Janjaweed militia, an Arab fighting group that operated in Darfur. apply tags__________ 170832504 story [127]The Courts [128]Brazil Court Suspends Telegram [129](barrons.com) [130]13 Posted by [131]BeauHD on Wednesday April 26, 2023 @04:34PM from the cease-and-desist dept. Brazilian court has [132]ordered the nationwide suspension of the Telegram messaging app due to its parent company's failure to provide data on neo-Nazis operating on the platform, imposing a daily fine of approximately $198,000 until compliance is met.

An anonymous reader shares a report: A young Harrison Ford will grace cinema screens for 25 minutes this summer -- aided by some new Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) software. The news that LucasFilm's Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny would feature a de-aged Ford came at the end of last year, but an interview with director James Mangold in Total Film just revealed it will be for [138]almost a fifth of the film's running time. The fifth Indiana Jones iteration starts with an opening scene from 1944 -- about eight years after Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark took place. "My hope is that, although it will be talked about in terms of technology, you just watch it and go, 'Oh my God, they just found footage. This was a thing they shot 40 years ago," Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm and a producer, told Empire. The rest of the movie shoots forward to 1969, with Indy on a mission to prevent a comeback of Nazism. apply tags__________ 170831772 story [139]Communications [140]SpaceX, Rogers Strike Deal for Satellite Phone Service in Canada [141](bloomberg.com) [142]16 Posted by msmash on Wednesday April 26, 2023 @03:22PM from the moving-forward dept.
