In a move that could be a model for other U.S. states, Oregon may soon allow cities more leeway to set lower speed limits on dangerous roads - rather than reserving that power for state transportation leaders whose primary interest, historically, has been moving cars as quickly as possible.Following an exhausting 13-year battle, the Beaver State legislature recently modified a law that required cities and counties to individually lobby the Oregon Department of Transportation every time they wanted to lower a speed limit in their communities, essentially giving non-local transportation leaders final say over how fast drivers should travel in places they don't live.

Warrantless searches of US residents' communications by the FBI dropped sharply last year - from about 3.4 million in 2021 to 119,383 in 2022, according to Uncle Sam.But that is still likely tens of thousands more people than should have been caught up in the FBI's domestic surveillance efforts, according to advocates for reform of Section 702 - the legislative instrument that allows warrantless snooping.

In the late 19th century, two men raced to discover as many fossils as possible, and to put them together in recreation of as many dinosaurs as they could.O.C.

In a not-yet-peer-reviewed paper, a team of researchers from Northeastern University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology suggests that large language models (LLM) might be able to learn from their own mistakes - just like humans.Teaching them to do so, they say, might be able to push AI technologies into a new phase of autonomous problem-solving.

Reports published in the past couple of months by various industrial cybersecurity companies provide different numbers when it comes to the vulnerabilities discovered in industrial control system (ICS) products in 2022.SecurityWeek has analyzed the methodologies used by these companies in an effort to understand the discrepancies in numbers and trends.

On Monday, researchers from Microsoft introduced Kosmos-1, a multimodal model that can reportedly analyze images for content, solve visual puzzles, perform visual text recognition, pass visual IQ tests, and understand natural language instructions.The researchers believe multimodal AI-which integrates different modes of input such as text, audio, images, and video-is a key step to building artificial general intelligence (AGI) that can perform general tasks at the level of a human.

Wondering if artificial intelligence will be taking your job anytime soon?We're sure we speak for a lot of folks when we say: same.Considering that AI is literally designed to model human capabilities and thus automate human tasks, it's a fair question - and one that a group of professors from New York University (NYU), Princeton, and the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) may have just helped to shed a little bit of light on in a new paper, aptly titled "How Will Language Modelers like ChatGPT Affect Occupations and Industries?"
Though the paper has yet to be peer-reviewed, the results are fascinating, not to mention ominous - especially, of course, for the folks most at risk.

In 2009, the computer worm Stuxnet crippled hundreds of centrifuges inside Iran's Natanz uranium enrichment plant by targeting the software running on the facility's industrial computers, known as programmable logic controllers.The exploited PLCs were made by the automation giant Siemens and were all models from the company's ubiquitous, long-running SIMATIC S7 product series.
