    We Are Alarmed to Learn That People Are Installing DIY Self-Driving “Mods” on Their Cars (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    The software that powers self-driving cars is no longer the domain of proprietary systems built by billion-dollar companies. Open source assisted driving systems like Comma AI’s Openpilot have made it possible for anyone tech savvy enough to turn their set of wheels into a self-driving experiment. If you have $1,000 to spare and possess a willingness to serve as a lab rat in pursuit of automotive automation, you can buy a kit from Comma to retrofit your grocery getter with autonomous-driving rea

    Scientists Alarmed by “Kelvin Wave” That Could Raise California Ocean Level by a Whole Foot (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    There’s a massive wave heading across the ocean straight for the California coast — not a freak tsunami, but a slow-moving surge driven by what may be one of the strongest El Niño oscillations in nearly a millennium. The phenomenon is called a “Kelvin wave,” an incomprehensibly vast displacement of warm ocean water creeping from the west Pacific toward the Americas. As the Guardian notes, the wave spans thousands of miles

    Read excerpt

    On its 14th flight test Monday, SpaceX’s Starship successfully flew into orbit for the first time, marking a huge milestone for the Elon Musk owned company. But it didn’t stay up there long. Originally scheduled to fly around the planet six times in a mission lasting a total of ten hours, the rocket instead returned to Earth just three hours into its orbital adventure because of an engine failure. Belly-flopping on its way down, the spaces

    OpenAI Cancels Upcoming AI Model When It Shows Signs of Being Evil (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    For the second time in a matter of months, OpenAI paused the development of its frontier AI models after revealing even more instances of the experimental systems going rogue and hacking into third party servers. The news once again highlighted rising concerns over the AI industry losing the ability to keep their own technology in check. Now, the Sam Altman-led company is can

    Scientists Unveil Underwater Solar Panels (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    China’s green energy boom has seen solar panels plastered on the side of rainy mountains, on floating coastal platforms, and above bustling highways — and now, they’re even generating energy underwater. According to EuroNews, scientists working near Weizhou Island on China’s southwestern coast successfully generated electricity from sunlight at a depth of 10 meters, or nearly 33 feet, a new record for photovoltaic research. Their study, published in the research journal Joule, outlines a new typ
