Scientists have created a three dimensional map of a distant planet’s atmosphere for the first time.Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and a technique known as eclipse mapping, researchers found different temperature zones in the atmosphere of the exoplanet WASP-18b, a gas giant located about 400 light-years from Earth. The same process could soon help scientists map temperature variations and cloud structures on other faraway planets, according to a study published Oct. 28 in the journal Nature Astronomy.”Eclipse mapping allows us to image exoplanets that we can’t see directly, because their host stars are too bright,” study…
The real question is how effectively AgiBot’s algorithms can teach its robots new tricks. Using reinforcement learning to teach a robot tasks that require improvisation generally requires a lot of training data, and studies show it cannot be perfected entirely inside a simulation.AgiBot speeds up the learning process by having a human worker guide the robot through a task, which provides a foundation for it to then learn by itself. Before cofounding AgiBot, chief scientist Jianlan Luo did cutting-edge research at UC Berkeley, including a project that involved robots acquiring skills through reinforcement learning with a human in the loop.…
When your super-premium brand-new phone looks like hell in just one month of use, I think you have a serious problem.Apple touted the new aluminum design of the iPhone 17 Pro series as great for heat dissipation, and while we found that to be true, dang is it also true that this phone is fragile.I’m careful with my tech, yet the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max that I’ve used for short periods of time look dinged and scratched up big time. And this just looks strange considering just how durable previous iPhones were. Apple used a titanium…

A Lost Week Of Raiding Arcs Arc Raiders has arrived, briefly died and then came back with some in-game gifts as an apology, and is now rather popular amongst the loot, craft and kill or cooperate crew. It’s of the extraction shooter genre, with a somewhat unique butt sliding component which lets you slide out of the danger you are currently facing into safety; or into a whole new pile of trouble. For now it seems you can also use it to travel quite quickly downhill, you don’t seem to run out of steam after a certain distance. If you…

A 3,000-year-old Maya site is actually a giant, city-size map depicting the “order of the universe,” researchers say. The ruin, in what is now southeastern Mexico, was a cosmogram — a representation of how ancient people at the site viewed the cosmos, a new study suggests.The site, known as Aguada Fénix, is the “oldest and largest monumental architecture in the Maya area” and is larger than many ancient cities in Mesoamerica, the researchers wrote in the study. Although its construction was a major endeavor, its cultural significance, likely motivated people to help construct it, meaning its builders were probably not…
