Sun Microsystems acquired the firm in 2008, which Oracle saved from bankruptcy in 2010. MySQL is an essential technology for web servers and remotely managed applications. MariaDB can function as a drop-in replacement for MySQL in many cases. For this reason, database experts are expressing concerns about where Oracle is going with the project. They were disappointed when MySQL 9.0 came out earlier this month. Meanwhile, Oracle designed vector store and other innovations related to generative AI technology for its cloud-based products....

Productivity booster or job killer? People adept with this tool are in high demand and often well-compensated. Microsoft hasdevelopeda framework called SpreadsheetLLM that uses large language models for analyzing and interpreting spreadsheet data. It solves this by serializing data andincorporatingcell addresses, values, and formats into a data stream. The tool includes a component that compresses spreadsheets for LLMs. SpreadsheetLLM does have some limitations in its current form. For example, it ignores cell background colors, which may convey some meaning to the sheet....

Brittany Brown from NASA’s communications team initially pitched the idea of a collaboration to Miss E’s team. Brown said both space exploration and the hip-hop artist’s art have been about “pushing boundaries.” Elliott was over the moon about the interplanetary premiere of her 1997 smash hit. YOOO this is crazy! Similarly, NASA’s DSN has spent over 60 years communicating with robotic explorers venturing beyond Earth’s bounds. The stunt is more than just a one-off novelty act....

That may change as research from the Mount Sinai Health System and the City of Hope continues to progress. “There is nothing like this available to patients right now.” This enzyme normally maintains quiescence in adult human beta cells, essentially putting the brakes on beta cell proliferation. By inhibiting DYRK1A, harmineremovesthese brakes, allowing beta cells to proliferate. GLP1 receptor agonists work in conjunction with harmine to further stimulate beta cell proliferation....

The mission is already underway. It is also RMS’s first expedition since 2010. Recording new sea life and inspecting the Titan’s debris field are on the team’s to-do list. Each vehicle has an array of cameras and lighting to capture brilliant life-like images in 65K resolution. The tech aboard the vessels has had a decade to advance since the team’s previous mission. The expedition is not entirely hands-off, however. Featured on TechSpot

We loved the ROG Azoth Wireless Keyboard, awarding it a score of 90 in ourreviewlast year. As you would expect from that massive price, TheROG Azoth Extremeoffers plenty of features. The keyboard comes with ROG NX Mechanical Switches (Snow or Storm). As with the standard Azoth, both the switches and ROG PBT doubleshot keycaps are hot-swappable. Asus says the keyboard offers a massive 1,600 hours of battery life, too. Asus says this upgrades the keyboard polling rate to true 8000 Hz in both wired and wireless mode....

The researchers tested the system using 60 volunteers and an indoor driving simulator. Each person drove at different levels of inebriation: sober, low, and severe. At that point, it might be too late to prevent an accident. Steering interactions, event logs, and screen recordings of driving behavior can also be incorporated. NHTSA statistics show that about 37 people in the US die in drunk-driving crashes every day. In 2022, 13,524 people died in alcohol-impaired driving traffic deaths....

Many of these companies are forming relationships with airlines interested in offering their customers this service. The latest airline to move into this space is Southwest Airlines, partnering with eVTOL manufacturer Archer Aviation. The two have signed a memorandum of understanding todevelopoperational concepts for electric air taxi networks. Midnight is designed to fly up to 100 miles but is optimized for short flights of roughly 20 miles. However, it is a significantadvancegiven Southwest’s broad reach across the US....

The first stage landed on a drone ship in the Pacific Ocean without incident. SpaceX said a liquid oxygen leak developed on the second stage, preventing it from completing its second burn. All 20 satellites were expected to reenter Earth’s atmosphere and burn up before reaching the ground. Harvard astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell has sinceconfirmedthat each and every satellite was indeed destroyed on July 12. SpaceX said the event is areminderof how technically challenging spaceflight is....

The agency likely achieved this using hacking tools such as those from Cellebrite. The Israeli company’s products are widely used by law enforcement agencies to unlock phones and extract their data. The FBI never revealed the make or model of Crooks' handset. This was after Apple had refused a judge’s order to help the FBI unlock the phone. Another company that provides mobile equipment extraction tools is Grayshift. Featured on TechSpot
