Google's Debug project is seeking EPA approval to release millions of sterile male mosquitoes in New Jersey, California and Florida to reduce disease-spreading populations.

SpaceX IPO debuts in US markets, Musk becomes world's first trillionaire SpaceX has debuted on US markets with a market valuation of more than $2 trillion, minting CEO Elon Musk as the world's first trillionaire. Shares opened on Friday at $150 per share, marking a 11 percent increase from the initial public offering (IPO) price of $135, valuing the company at $1.96 trillion and putting the aerospace company on track to become the sixth-largest company in the United States. The company sold $75bn in shares, immediately valuing it at $1.77 trillion. The IPO was oversubscribed four times higher than was otherwise expected, according to the Reuters news agency. Of the institutional investors allocated, according to Bloomberg News, as much as 70 percent went to what are called long-only investments -- a strategy in which holders buy assets based on the expectation that their value will grow over time -- and sovereign wealth funds, including those from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait as well.

Nvidia GeForce Now is offering significant discounts on yearly subscriptions, with the Ultimate tier reduced to $130 annually, saving $70. PCWorld highlights this limited-time promotion runs until July 8th, making cloud gaming more accessible for budget-conscious users. The service enables streaming PC games from existing libraries on various devices without requiring powerful hardware. Nvidia's GeForce Now streaming service is a great way to make use of a big Steam library without needing a beefy gaming PC. That's becoming a much more appealing option, as prices for RAM and storage become untenable ( thanks, in no small part, to Nvidia). If you're thinking about signing up, Nvidia is offering up to $70 off a yearly subscription, but only for the next month or so. The "Summer Sale" brings the price of the Ultimate tier down to $130 for a year, and the Performance tier down to $65.

They swear they haven't peeked at the closely guarded secret and that they'll keep the cryptographic competition going. On a blustery March day, the artist Jim Sanborn received visitors at his studio on an isolated island in the Chesapeake Bay. The visitors sat him down in front of a laptop, and he typed in a secret message. They compressed the message using a unique hash function, sent that to the cloud, and wiped the laptop clean. Sanborn hoped that this action would set him free.

Why Real-Life Disclosure Day Will Look Nothing Like Steven Spielberg's New Movie Previous landmark scientific discoveries like the Higgs boson provide a better template for what it will take to confirm whether aliens have made contact with Earth. Steven Spielberg's new film imagines the moment 8 billion humans find out that we are not alone in the universe. The movie, which opens in US theaters on June 12, is a fictional account of the government cover-up and subsequent "disclosure" of evidence that aliens have contacted Earth. The UFO community has been chasing that type of cinematic big reveal for 80 years. But it's more likely that monumental scientific discoveries, like the detection of the Higgs boson in 2012 and the confirmation of gravitational waves in 2016, are a better guideline for how real-world disclosure is likely to play out: through long-running research and with verifiable results.

This work introduces a novel approach, Pairwise Epistemic Estimators (PairEpEsts), for epistemic uncertainty estimation in ensemble models for regression tasks using pairwise-distance estimators (PaiDEs). By utilizing the pairwise distances between model components, PaiDEs establish bounds on entropy. We leverage this capability to enhance the performance of Bayesian Active Learning by Disagreement (BALD). Notably, unlike sample-based Monte Carlo estimators, PairEpEsts can estimate epistemic uncertainty up to 100 times faster and demonstrate superior performance in higher dimensions. To validate our approach, we conducted a varied series of regression experiments on commonly used benchmarks: 1D sinusoidal data,,,, and, demonstrating PairEpEsts' advantage over baselines in high-dimensional regression active learning.

SpaceX to list on US stock market at $1.77tn valuation in largest ever debut IPO for Elon Musk's company comes in what is predicted to be a banner year for public offerings of AI companies SpaceX will become publicly traded on Friday after nearly two and a half decades as a private company. Executives are slated to ring the bell on Wall Street with the rocket ship maker's historic stock market debut. If all goes to plan, the company's initial public offering (IPO) will mint a valuation of $1.77tn - earning it the designation of the world's largest ever IPO. Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of SpaceX, has a large stake in the company as majority shareholder, so if investors' enthusiasm validates the eye-popping valuation, he would take the title of the world's first-ever trillionaire. Musk is also the CEO of Tesla, which is valued at $1.2tn.

It's how the company has worked from the start. Brian Manning encountered SpaceX's culture of extreme ownership from day one as an engineer at the rocket maker . After a one-hour onboarding session a decade ago, he got his first assignment: Design a small part by the next day. "The way I looked at it is having very clear responsibility, autonomy, and accountability," says Manning, who aced the task and spent about two years at the company. "Rather than hiring people and telling them how to do it, they give people full ownership to make things happen."
