Large language models (LLMs) have become increasingly common in various applications, allowing for quick and accurate text generation and interpretation. However, one significant issue that has arisen with these models is the occurrence of hallucinations, where the model produces incoherent or inaccurate responses. Researchers at DeepMind have recently proposed a new approach to address the
In a groundbreaking study published in Nature Sustainability, a research team led by Prof. Cao Xun has made significant strides in the development of energy-saving windows. With the goal of reducing the energy consumption of buildings, the team focused on improving the performance of electrochromic (EC) smart windows. Traditional EC windows have been limited in
Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, the social media platform owned by former US president Donald Trump, reported a staggering loss of over $300 million in the initial quarter of 2024. This marks a significant decline compared to last year’s net losses of $210,300 for the same period. The company’s
Recent advancements in the field of electronics engineering have paved the way for the design of more intricate and scaled-down transistors. Conventional silicon-based field effect transistors (FETs) have limitations that have led researchers to explore alternative designs using materials with higher electron mobility. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), have shown promise
The recent launch of GPT-4o by OpenAI has sparked conversations about the benefits and risks associated with highly advanced AI systems. One of the key features of GPT-4o is its ability to engage with users in a more natural and human-like manner, showcasing personality traits such as friendliness, empathy, and even humor. While this may
Artificial intelligence, particularly in the form of tools like ChatGPT, has the potential to revolutionize decision-making processes in various sectors such as healthcare, finance, and law. However, the underlying data on which AI systems are trained may contain inherent biases that could lead to discriminatory outcomes. As Joshua Weaver from the Texas Opportunity & Justice
Sophie Rollet, a former childcare worker from France, dedicated ten years of her life to conducting her own investigation into the tragic death of her husband, Jean-Paul. Following a collision involving Goodyear tires, Rollet took it upon herself to hold the US auto equipment group accountable for the loss of her loved one. Her relentless
The recent rejection of the union drive at Mercedes-Benz’s Alabama facilities represents a significant setback for the United Auto Workers (UAW) and their ambitious campaign to organize the American South. The preliminary results released by US authorities showed a margin of 56 to 44 percent, with 2,642 workers voting against unionization and 2,045 in favor.
Spotify, the popular music streaming platform, is facing a legal battle in the US federal court over allegations of underpaying songwriters, composers, and publishers. The lawsuit, filed by the Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC), claims that Spotify reclassified its paid subscription services without notice, resulting in a significant reduction in royalty payments to MLC. This move
