China's MGI Tech said it would press ahead with the US rollout of its gene sequencing machines as it was "completely different" from its former parent group, which has been blacklisted in the US. Shenzhen-based MGI was a subsidiary of BGI — parts of which are subject to US trade restrictions over concerns about the security of Americans' genetic data — before it was spun out and listed on the Shanghai stock exchange in 2022.

The Great Computing Stagnation, an article published on Exponential View, explores the idea that technological progress in computing has slowed down considerably in recent years. The author argues that the rapid advancements in computer performance, which characterized the previous decades, have slowed to a crawl. This stagnation is not only reflected in hardware but also in software and algorithms, resulting in a decrease in productivity growth across different sectors of the economy.

Chinese scientists have successfully built a hypersonic generator that could power future weapons, according to reports from state media. The generator is capable of producing high-speed airflow that could potentially be used to power hypersonic missiles, which are becoming increasingly popular among militaries around the world due to their ability to travel at supersonic speeds and evade conventional defense systems. The generator is reportedly powered by a "supersonic combustion ramjet" (scramjet) engine, which can reach speeds of up to Mach 15, or roughly 18,000 kilometers per hour. This makes it significantly faster than traditional jet engines, which are typically limited to speeds of around Mach 3. To read more, use the button below to open the original external article.

According to a recent report by CleanTechnica, the US could significantly reduce its energy requirements by up to 50% by utilizing heat pumps to provide heating and cooling to buildings. The report highlights that heat pumps have the potential to provide an efficient and cost-effective way of meeting the energy needs of buildings, particularly in areas where there is a high demand for heating and cooling. Heat pumps work by extracting heat from the air or ground and using it to provide warmth during the colder months, and conversely, extracting heat from buildings during the hotter months to provide cooling. The technology is already widely used in many countries, but the US has been slow to adopt this technology, despite its potential to significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.

The potential implications of large language models (LLMs) such as Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs) on the U.S. labor market have been investigated by experts, who have focused on the increased capabilities arising from LLM-powered software compared to LLMs on their own. The findings of this study suggest that around 80% of the U.S. workforce could have at least 10% of their work tasks affected by the introduction of LLMs, while approximately 19% of workers may see at least 50% of their tasks impacted. The projected effects span all wage levels, with higher-income jobs potentially facing greater exposure to LLM capabilities and LLM-powered software. This implies that the impacts of LLMs will not be restricted to industries with higher recent productivity growth. To read more, use the button below to open the original external article.
