A Concept of Possibility for Real-World Events
This paper offers a new concept of {\it possibility} as an alternative to the now-a-days standard concept originally introduced by L.A. Zadeh in 1978. This new version was inspired by the original but, formally, has nothing in common with it other than that they both adopt the Łukasiewicz multivalent interpretation of the logical connectives. Moreover, rather than seeking to provide a general notion of possibility, this focuses specifically on the possibility of a real-world event. An event is…

Mercedes’ New Concept Car Looks Straight Out of ’90s Batman Cartoons
Mercedes' new concept car can drive itself and even has solar paint—but the coolest thing about it is that it looks like an old-school Batmobile.

‘TrueAnon,’ the Lefty Podcast, Takes Listeners Down Rabbit Holes
On the left-leaning podcast “TrueAnon,” three friends take a true-crime approach to subjects often thought too risky for liberals to touch.

How AGI became the most consequential conspiracy theory of our time
The idea that machines will be as smart as—or smarter than—humans has hijacked an entire industry. But look closely and you’ll see it’s a myth that persists for many of the same reasons conspiracies do.

Self-Image Multiplicity in a Concave Cylindrical Mirror
Concave mirrors are fundamental optical elements, yet some easily observed behaviors are rarely addressed in standard textbooks, such as the formation of multiple reflected images. Here we investigate self-imaging -- where the observer is also the observed object -- using a concave cylindrical mirror. We predict the number of self-images visible from different observation points and classify space into regions by image count. We then test these predictions with an inexpensive stainless-steel co…

Semantic Analysis of SNOMED CT Concept Co-occurrences in Clinical Documentation using MIMIC-IV
Clinical notes contain rich clinical narratives but their unstructured format poses challenges for large-scale analysis. Standardized terminologies such as SNOMED CT improve interoperability, yet understanding how concepts relate through co-occurrence and semantic similarity remains underexplored. In this study, we leverage the MIMIC-IV database to investigate the relationship between SNOMED CT concept co-occurrence patterns and embedding-based semantic similarity. Using Normalized Pointwise Mu…

Futuristic eye implant bypasses cornea to beam images straight to retina #Intra-

Futuristic eye implant bypasses cornea to beam images straight to retina
A tiny implant that beams images straight to the retina, bypassing a damaged cornea altogether, could give sight back to millions living with corneal blindness – no donor tissue required. Human trials may be underway in as little as two years.

Advancing the Concept Maturity Level of the Servicing Architecture for Habitable Worlds Observer
This paper advances the concept maturity level (CML) of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) servicing architecture. Since servicing has occurred on other missions, this paper argues that the current CML is 2. To advance to CML 3, option spaces must be established for trade studies. We introduce the three space ages and the argument that we are on the cusp of a new revolutionary era. Servicing is only part of that coming change and the other elements of the future space age are introduced. Th…
