    Scientists grow cells on a robotic skeleton (The Verge) https://www.theverge.com/2022/5/26/23142769/tissue-engineering-growing-cells-mobile-robot-skeleton
    The team has shown that it is certainly possible to grow cells in robotic bones. Now, they just need to figure out if it's worth their time. In the paper, though, the researchers took some optimistic guesses about the work's potential. They believe that in the future, detailed scans of patients could be used to create perfect joint replicas of their bodies, allowing tissues such as tendons to be grown in simulated human bodies for surgery.

    How to make the universe think for us (Quanta magazine)
    https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-to-make-the-universe-think-for-us-20220531/
    Physicists are building neural networks out of vibrations, voltages and lasers, and they believe the future of computing lies in harnessing the complex physical behavior of the universe. Physicist McMahon and a group of like-minded physicists espouse an unconventional approach: letting the universe process the data for us, McMahon argues, "that many physical systems can naturally perform certain computations more efficiently or faster than computers." He Take wind tunnels, for example: When engineers design an airplane, they might digitize the blueprints and then spend hours on a supercomputer simulating the flow of air around the wings. Alternatively, they could put the craft in a wind tunnel to see if it could fly. From a computational standpoint, a wind tunnel can instantly "calculate" the interaction of an aircraft wing with the air.
    TSMC grabs the 2nm crown! ASML's strongest lithography machine blessing, mass production in 2025 (Xinzhiyuan)
    https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/FH_xoZx4LVLoQqHE8fSIlw
    On June 16, at the 2022 North American Technology Forum, TSMC officially announced that it will launch the next-generation advanced process N2, which is the 2nm process. It is said that TSMC N2 will use GAAFET (Gate All Around Transistor) technology and will start mass production in 2025. N2 has a significant improvement in performance and efficacy, but the transistor density may appear to have little effect in the context of the 2025 era. As a brand-new chip manufacturing process platform, the core innovation of the N2 process lies in two points: Nanosheet and backside power rail. Both of these points are designed to improve chip performance per unit energy consumption.
    The father of Keras: The human brain consumes less energy than a light bulb, why is it "hanging" all AI? (New Wisdom)
    https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/Aj1xUcnnl7ygE7OygT9QvQ
    Francois Chollet, a well-known Google researcher and founder of the Keras framework, tweeted about the inefficiency of the human brain. He said that the operating power of the human brain is only about 15w, which is not comparable to ordinary light bulbs. Although there are 90 billion neurons, no more than 1 billion are activated at the same time, which is less than 2%. Therefore, from a global perspective, the operation efficiency of the human brain is very low.

    Four-year AI VP Jerome Pesenti also said he would leave in mid-June, a day after Sheryl Sandberg announced she would step down as Meta's chief operating officer later this year. Meta, which is striving to turn to the Metaverse, announced another major news: the entire AI department has been reorganized, the original Facebook AI Research Institute FAIR will be merged into the core department of the Metaverse, Reality Labs, and the responsible AI research team will join the Meta social impact team.
    Meta Digital Man 2 is here! Say goodbye to VR headsets, just swipe your iPhone (Xinzhiyuan)
    As long as a smartphone with a frontal depth sensor (such as an iPhone with FaceID function) swipes directly (dozens of swipes to be exact), a realistic avatar can be generated. First keep your face expressionless, scan once, and then make a variety of different expressions, up to 65 different expressions are supported. According to Meta, it takes an average of 3-4 minutes to complete an expression scan with a mobile phone. “I would say that a big challenge for the next decade is whether we can achieve remote Avatar interactions that are indistinguishable from face-to-face interactions,” said Yaser Sheikh, one of the project leaders.

    https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/MdL1h16ifU2--UamIAKW_A
    At the 2022 Consensus (consensus conference), Twitter and Block founder Jack Dorsey announced that Block's Bitcoin division, TBD, is developing a Web5 standard that replaces Web3. This technology will allow users to control their own data and will not leak it to others. any third party. According to TBD, “We strongly believe in a decentralized future that will return ownership and control of finances, data and identities to users. Guided by this vision, TBD is building the infrastructure to help everyone access and participate in the global economy. .” It is reported that Web5 will be built on the basis of Bitcoin and will operate without any other tokens.
