Behavioral analysis in mice: More precise results despite fewer animals

Researchers at ETH Zurich are utilising artificial intelligence to analyse the behaviour of laboratory mice more efficiently and reduce the number of animals in experiments. There is one specific task that stress researchers who conduct animal experiments need to be particularly skilled at. This also applies to researchers who want to improve the conditions in which laboratory animals are kept. They need to be able to assess the wellbeing of their animals based on behavioural

Burned-Up Ryzen 7 9800X3Ds Chips Are A Reminder To Closely Inspect Your CPU Socket

Remember when AMD released the Ryzen 7000X3D CPUs and it turned out that some motherboards had broken over-current protection that resulted in a small spate of CPUs literally exploding? Well don’t worry, because this isn’t that same situation at all. Instead, it seems like there may be an issue with a specific production run of a particular Socket AM5 LGA guide. Over on Reddit, the comically named /u/TrumpPooPoosPants posted up pictures of his brand-new Ryzen

Expert warns AI improvements have plateaued, financial bubble pop incoming

TL;DR: AI companies like OpenAI and Microsoft are racing to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI), but experts like Gary Marcus suggest it may not be economically viable. Marcus argues that the AI market is a bubble, with valuations based on the assumption that scaling Large Language Models (LLMs) will lead to AGI. Artificial intelligence companies such as OpenAI, Microsoft, and other big players such as Elon Musk’s X-based AI Grok are all in a race
