What makes this so odd is that these creatures are typically found at depths of 650 to 6,500 feet below the ocean’s surface, inhabiting the deep sea region known as the bathypelagic zone or “midnight zone”.
NVIDIA engineers have developed an AI-powered neural network capable of generating ultra realistic virtual characters in real-time. Technically speaking, a neural network-based simulation super-resolution framework that can efficiently and realistically enhance a facial performance produced by a low-cost, real-time physics-based simulation.
We know the Tesla Cybertruck can take a full bullets, but how well does it fare in accidents? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) put the Cybertruck through several front / side crash protection and rollover risk tests to find out.

Astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy captured this 400-megapixel photo of the Andromeda Galaxy using two 12-inch telescopes, with one of them being set up at a remote location in central Texas, far from light pollution. That one worked for about three months shooting around the phases of the Moon when skies were darkest, and when the galaxy was highest in the sky for maximum clarity.

Featuring a brilliant 8.12″ LTPO OLED main screen with FHD+ resolution, 2,100 nits of brightness, as well as a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate, along with a 6.62″ LTPO OLED external screen.
We’ve come a long way since the 1986 Chevrolet Navlab, and Stellantis’ STLA AutoDrive proves it. This Hands-Free and Eyes-Off (SAE Level 3) technology can be used at speeds of up to 37 mph, even at night and in adverse weather conditions.
At $369, the DJI RS4 Mini may only weigh in at less than 2-pounds (890 grams), but it can support cameras and smartphones that weigh up to 4.4-pounds (2 kilograms). Second generation auto-axis technology lets creators unlock the gimbal’s three-axis locks in just one second, thus speeding up the filming, transition, and storage processes.
