Human babies are far better at learning than even the very best large language models. To be able to write in passable English, ChatGPT had to be trained on massive data sets that contain millions upon millions of words. Children, on the other hand, have access to only a tiny fraction of that data, yet by age three they’re communicating in quite sophisticated ways. A team of researchers at New York University wondered if AI could learn like a baby. What could an AI model do when given a far smaller data set—the sights and sounds experienced by a single…

What makes it a different beast? Conventional mRNA vaccines consist of messenger RNA that carries the genetic code for covid’s spike protein. Once that mRNA enters the body, it gets translated into proteins by the same cellular machinery that translates our own messenger RNA. Self-amplifying mRNA vaccines contain a gene that encodes the spike protein as well as viral genes that code for replicase, the enzyme that serves as a photocopier. So one self-amplifying mRNA molecule can produce many more. The idea of a vaccine that copies itself in the body might sound a little, well, unnerving. But there are…
The global phone market is finally recovering from the post pandemic slump that ran for 9 quarters straight, and Apple is now officially the world’s biggest cell phone maker. It has shipped 232.6 million iPhones in last year, according to the latest Omdia numbers, while Samsung follows with 225.3 million. Needless to say, the average selling price of Apple’s iPhones is much higher, so it is easily the world’s most profitable phone maker as well.The world’s fastest growing phone company, however, isn’t Apple. Granted, its iPhone 15 series is the booster that landed it in the first place of the…

You can practically do anything on today’s smartphones; however, we’ve reached a point where a two-day battery life is considered something incredible! On top of that, the majority of phones that offer such extended battery life are in the budget segment, and we, as tech enthusiasts, aren’t exactly keen on owning a smartphone with less than 8GB of RAM and a powerful Snapdragon chipset under the hood.That said, battery life won’t exactly be an issue if you have a reliable power bank in your backpack to plug your phone into any time you need a quick top-up. Sadly, these power…

A few weeks back, we shared an epic deal on one of the best Google flagships, the Pixel 7 Pro. In case you don’t recall, Amazon went completely bananas by slashing the price of the 512GB model in Snow by some 36%, which equates to $400 in savings. Quite amazingly, this mouth-watering deal is still live. As one of the best Android phones, this puppy gives you plenty of value for money. Then again, this particular storage model can typically set you back some $1,099, making it a tough sell for shoppers on a budget. But at 36% off, the…

While Cupertino’s giant quarterly results exceeded analysts’ expectations, its…
We’re so obsessed with the Oppo Find X7 Ultra’s photography achievements that we almost forgot there’ll be another variant of the camera-centric champion: the Oppo Find X7 Ultra Satellite Version.Speculations about a satellite connectivity version emerged as early as November 2023, and now, three months later, they leave the rumor realm and enter reality.Details about the Oppo Find X7 Ultra Satellite Version were spotted on the Wireless Power Consortium platform (via 91mobiles).Of course, the satellite-enabled device will share most of the features with its non-satellite sibling, but not all. The Satellite Version could bring different charging speeds to the table…

The hype surrounding the new Galaxy S24 lineup is going strong, but do you know what? Interest in the older generation isn’t deteriorating, either! What testifies to this statement is Walmart’s audaciously generous discount on the vanilla Galaxy S23. In case you missed it, the merchant slashed prices for the 256GB model by $244 a few weeks ago, and, as you might have guessed, this super awesome deal is still up for grabs. Given that you can get this particular storage version for way over $800 at retailers like Best Buy and Amazon at the time of writing, we feelthis…
Commercially released all the way back in 2021, the “standard” Beats Studio Buds are technically far from the best wireless earbuds hardcore Apple fans can buy in 2024. But if you can’t afford the newer and undeniably better Studio Buds+ or Fit Pro, let alone the AirPods Pro 2, you’ll probably be more than pleased with the objectively great value offered by this “outdated” model on a relatively tight budget.That’s especially true if you can get the non-Plus and non-Pro-branded Studio Buds at a nice discount over their $149.95 list price, which just so happens to be the case right…
(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction! That’s what iPhone 15 Pro users are humming these days. In fact, they’ve been humming like that for many months now – in late October 2023, we told you about the iPhone 15 Pro having the worst user-generated reviews of any premium iPhone model yet.Now, the iPhone 15 Pro gets even less love from the public, according to the newest information (via 9to5Mac). The vanilla iPhone 15, however, is getting more love. That’s something. I’m sure folks over at Cupertino were hoping for the exact opposite phenomenon, but here we are, living in the strangest…
