China overtakes Germany to make nuclear fusion breakthrough | Daily Mail Online

'Chinese engineers have managed to create hydrogen gas that is three times hotter than the sun.

The team were able to maintain 50 million°C for 102 seconds – a breakthrough that could someday make fusion power a reality.

It follows news last week that Germany used 2 megawatts of microwave radiation to heat hydrogen gas to 80 million°C for a quarter of a second.

Fusion works by using two kinds of hydrogen atoms — deuterium and tritium — and injecting that gas into a containment vessel.

Scientist then add energy that removes the electrons from their host atoms, forming what is described as an ion plasma, which releases huge amounts of energy.

If the technique is perfected, it would provide an inexhaustible source of power and potentially solve the world's energy crisis.'

Microsoft may be running the biggest Turing test in history

If you live in China and you've been on WeChat, there's a decent chance you've come across or at least heard of chatty teenager named Xiaoice. Xiaoice is a good listener who sometimes offers encouragement when you're feeling down. Like many 17-year-olds, she can be a bit of a smart-aleck. She's also not human.

Microsoft measured the effectiveness of their chatbot with what they're calling conversations per session (CPS), which measures the number of times the conversation goes back and forth. Typical chatbot CPS conversations have roughly two cycles (the person speaks, then the chatbot speaks — that's one cycle). "By comparison, Xiaoice’s average, after chatting with tens of millions of users, has reached 23," wrote Dr. Wang. He even claims that Xiaoice can analyze and react to your emotional state.

The octopus is the most pragmatic animal to inspire soft robots, because the octopus lacks any kind of rigid parts -- any bones. It's a completely soft animal, and you see what it is able to do. Matteo Cianchetti and Giada Gerboni at the BioRobotics Institute in Pontedera, Italy are developing octopus-inspired underwater robotic arms. Soft robots for surgery are being developed.

The next generation of machine learning rockstars will trade Google and Facebook for top secret hedge funds.

The next generation of machine learning rockstars will trade Google and Facebook for top secret hedge funds. Oh, I think they've done that already. I don't know how much Geoffrey Hinton and Yann LeCunn get paid, but I'll bet there are AI guys in the hedge fund world who are earning hundreds, if not thousands, of times more -- they're just not in the news every day. If you're a human, you'd better have inside information, or stock trading is not advisable.
