Look over there! That’s a Three-Waddled Bellbird! Oh, snap. Did your binoculars not zoom in enough for you to see it?

Grab your pair for only $104.97 (that’s 64 percent off)! Your second pair of eyes  Your eyes might be good enough to spot that robin perched on a high branch or a coven of deer grazing a few yards away, but they’re no match when nighttime falls. When the sun starts setting, whip these bad boys out, look through the 2.3-inch HD screen, and adjust the infrared brightness until the animals look crystal clear. Ah!

Science is, at its heart, a system for asking questions and seeking answers. Researchers must detect clues amid a cacophony of information. Pharmacist Joseph Lambson is one person with a gift for identifying signals in the noise. When he got a call from a poison control specialist saying that people were overdosing on the drug semaglutide, used to treat obesity and diabetes, he knew what this meant. Pharmaceutical companies were unable to keep up with demand for the drug, which comes in a prefilled injector pen, and people were buying alternative versions that are not as error-proof. Even with the drug no longer in shortage, the dangers persist. Senior writer Meghan Rosen talked with Lambson as part of her investigation into a proliferating online market where patients say they’re willing to take risks to get what they see as a life-altering drug.

Hi all, I want to learn Blender, but I have a pretty specific use case in mind: to make album covers that mostly use very basic shapes and imported text (as SVG files). So I don't really want to get too deep into modeling, and definitely want to focus more on dramatic lighting, materials and textures, glow effects, volumetric fog, just overall very cinematic looking designs. I'm attaching some AI-generated images as examples. And the tutorials don't have to be free, BTW. Thanks! submitted by /u/MDesigner [link] [comments]

Intel's new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, is flattening the semiconductor giant's leadership team, with important chip groups reporting directly to him, according to a memo from Tan seen by Reuters.Intel has also promoted networking chip chief Sachin Katti to be chief technology officer and artificial intelligence chief, according to the memo.The leadership changes are the first major move under Tan, who took the top job last month, to turn around the venerable Silicon Valley chipmaker after years of problems. Intel's data center and AI chip group, as well as its personal-computer chip group, will report directly to him.They previously were overseen by Michelle Johnston Holthaus, who remains chief executive of Intel products and whose work will expand to new areas."I want to roll up my sleeves with the engineering and product teams so I can learn what's needed to strengthen our solutions," Tan wrote. "As Michelle and I drive this work, we plan to evolve and expand her role with more details to come in the future."The shakeup by Tan, who has promised a leaner version of the storied American chipmaker, follows an extended period of turmoil at Santa Clara, California-based Intel.The previous chief left last year following disagreements with its board of directors over how to turn the company around after years of manufacturing and product missteps. A top challenge is confronting the rise of Nvidia, which has become the dominant supplier of AI chips.'Slowly Suffocating' InnovationDespite acquiring several AI chip startups, Intel failed to settle on a coherent strategy to challenge Nvidia, and in January shelved its most recent attempt, a chip called Falcon Shores. Developing the new AI strategy will fall to Katti.Tan's email says Katti "is expanding his responsibilities to include the role of chief technology and AI officer for the company. As part of this, he will lead our overall AI strategy and AI product roadmap, as well as Intel Labs and our relationships with the startup and developer ecosystems."Katti, who is also a professor at Stanford University, will succeed Greg Lavender, who is retiring from Intel, according to the memo.Intel is looking for a new head of government affairs, who will also report to Tan, "given the critical importance of Government Affairs in a complex global environment," the CEO wrote. The predecessor, Bruce Andrews, who had worked in the Commerce Department under then-President Barack Obama, left Intel after November's U.S. elections.The replacement will be responsible for managing Intel's relationships with governments in the U.S. and abroad at a time when President Donald Trump has put steep tariffs on China, where Tan's venture capital fund has extensive investments.In recent years, Intel's executive team had included many business unit leaders, with technical leaders often layers below the CEO. Tan's memo said three longtime technical executives - Rob Bruckner, Mike Hurley and Lisa Pearce - will now report to Tan."This supports our emphasis on becoming an engineering-focused company and will give me visibility into what's needed to compete and win," Tan wrote.The memo follows Tan's public comments that he aimed to trim layers of management from the company so that executive leadership would work more closely with its engineers."It's clear to me that organizational complexity and bureaucratic processes have been slowly suffocating the culture of innovation we need to win," Tan said in the memo. "It takes too long to make decisions. New ideas are not given room or resources to incubate. And unnecessary silos lead to inefficient execution."© Thomson Reuters 2025 For the latest tech news and reviews, follow Gadgets 360 on X, Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads and Google News.

Um relato sobre as Aulas de Cálculo e a Inteligência Artificial2 min read·Just now--Depois que voltei a estudar, algo que parecia banal me chamou atenção: sempre que chego à aula, no período noturno, as mesas estão sempre cobertas de raspas de borracha. Um detalhe incomoda meus amigos do curso, que sempre chegam reclamando pela sujeira, mas que ganhou um significado para mim… um sinal de que os erros, as correções e as novas tentativas acontecem no papel, e não em sistemas inteligentes que auto corrigem nossos erros.Minha aula é uma retomada ao cálculo, voltada a criar uma base forte para os algoritmos de IA. E é justamente nesse ambiente, rodeado por folhas e folhas de exercícios, resultados riscados e marcas de borracha, que entendo a diferença.Há um valor nisso que os computadores não entregam: o de viver o cálculo como um exercício físico e mental. Escrever à mão dá clareza. Nos permite ver o erro se formando, e ao mesmo tempo, onde está o desvio. A tecnologia, acelera sim… mas sem o detalhamento necessário estes caminhos acelerados podem ser ilusórios. É como colocar um motor potente num carro sem entender qual direção será tomada. Acho muito bonito escutar empresas falarem sobre experimentação aberta, mas a disrupção é acidente bom, aleatório e não planejado.Mas voltar ao caderno, ao lápis e ao esforço repetido foi mais do que estudar cálculo. Foi lembrar que, por trás da tão falada IA, existe a inteligência natural. E essa, se constroi devagar, no lápis e na borracha.

News Star Wars Zero Company Launches in 2026, First Trailer Revealed In an original story set during the Clone Wars, players control Hawks and his unit of "professionals for hire" in an impossible operation. Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 19th, Apr. 2025 During Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025, Respawn Entertainment and Bit Reactor revealed the first trailer of Star Wars Zero Company. Occurring at the “twilight” of the Clone Wars, the single-player turn-based tactics title focuses on former Republic officer Hawks and the titular Zero Company. The unit comprises an “unconventional outfit of professionals for hire” participating in an operation against an “emerging threat.” Despite their rampant professionalism, the group has some friction, which Hawks must manage. It’s an original story but some tie-ins to other properties wouldn’t be surprising. Brief snatches of pre-alpha gameplay are showcased at the trailer’s tail-end, and, perhaps to the surprise of no one due to leaks, it’s an XCOM-like title with characters taking cover. Abilities include scanning for targets, Force pushing a droid away, sniping them from afar, and throwing grenades from elevated positions. There’s even a funny bit, intentional or not, of the Clone Trooper having a less-than-accurate aim. Star Wars Zero Company launches in 2026 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Further details have yet to be revealed, so stay tuned for more updates from the Developer Panel.
