Did you know that Physical Activity can Protect you from Chronic Pain?

Posted by in category: futurism

The researchers found that the ability to tolerate pain played a role in this apparent protective effect.

That explains why being active could lower the risk of having severe chronic pain, whether or not it was widespread throughout the body.

“This suggests that physical activity increases our ability to tolerate pain and may be one of the ways in which activity helps to reduce the risk of severe chronic pain,” says Årnes.

MIT’s New AI Model Predicts Human Behavior With Uncanny Accuracy

Posted by in categories: futurism, robotics/AI

A new technique can be used to predict the actions of human or AI agents who behave suboptimally while working toward unknown goals.

MIT and other researchers developed a framework that models irrational or suboptimal behavior of a human or AI agent, based on their computational constraints. Their technique can help predict an agent’s future actions, for instance, in chess matches.

To build AI systems that can collaborate effectively with humans, it helps to have a good model of human behavior to start with. But humans tend to behave suboptimally when making decisions.

Bostrom’s Deep Utopia

Posted by in categories: futurism, robotics/AI

Robin Hanson comments on Nick Bostrom’s new tome 
 has a great cover with a number of interesting questions and a subtitle that hints that it might address the meaning of life in a future where AI and robots can do everything. But alas, after much build up and anticipation, he leaves that question unanswered, with an abrupt oops, out of time on page 427. 
 He tries to address meaty topics like, what keeps life interesting? What is our purpose and meaning when the struggle is gone? Can fulfillment get full? But in each case, the pedagogy is more of a survey of all possible answers versus the much more difficult task of making specific predictions. (More)

Light show in living cells: New method allows simultaneous fluorescent labeling of many proteins

Posted by in category: futurism

Observing proteins precisely within cells is extremely important for many branches of research but has been a significant technical challenge—especially in living cells, as the required fluorescent labeling had to be individually attached to each protein.
