MUST READ

Just a mere two days after introducing the RTX 2000 Ada GPU, Nvidia is in the spotlight again with 'Chat with RTX.' The AI assistant utilizes the capabilities of newer Nvidia graphics cards, specifically the RTX 30 or 40 series.

Its stand-out abilities include analyzing YouTube videos and dense documents, saving its users a huge amount of time. That said, it is not without its limitations. According to sources, setting it up demands a bit of patience, and it can be a resource-intensive application.

The U.S. military is exploring the development of acoustic sensors to counter drone threats. Drawing inspiration from Ukrainian prototypes used to locate and track Russian drones, these sensors could offer crucial early-warning systems for U.S. personnel, enhancing defenses against long-range kamikaze drones, particularly in regions like the Middle East.

MagicLab, an innovative startup specializing in humanoid robots, has unveiled an interesting video showcasing their latest creation, MagicBot. Its miniature high-torque servo actuators combined with sensitive multi-dimensional pressure sensors enable it to impressively roast marshmallows, perform magic tricks and even bust a move on the dance floor.
