Latias And Latios Coming To 'Pokémon GO' Today

For the past few weeks, trainers in Pokémon GO have been battling Lugia, the Pokémon Silver mascot and the first Legendary Bird introduced to the game way back when the world was young. Lugia is retiring once more and the game is returning from its foray into the past to bring us Latios and Latia, available today. The two will be available until June 5, but not at the same time -- like the Legendary Beasts from back in the fall, Latios and Latia will be working with a regional rotation. From now until May 8, Latios will be available in North America, South America, and Africa, whereas Latias will be available in Europe and Asia/Pacific. On May 8 they'll switch until both fly away for good. 

Latios and Latias are Psychic and Dragon-types, so expect the always-popular Tyranitar to making a strong appearance with its Super-effective Bite fast attack. I can't say I'm a huge fan of the airplane-like design, but someone out there must like it. Sounds like sort of a shame to pummel them into submission, to be honest, but that's the brutal logic of the world of Pokémon. In other news, Pokémon GO just introduced a quest system, and it's a breath of fresh air for anyone that's been having a hard time with the structure-less endgame. If you haven't played in a long time, it's a great time to let the game steer your re-entry a little bit, and today and tomorrow are even better. There's always a fresh round of interest when new Legendaries are released, so you've got a much better shot at finding random groups showing up at the steel blue Legendary Raid eggs -- just show up close to the end of the egg timer for your best chance.

AI Outperforms Students in Real-World “Turing Test”

 Artificial intelligence has achieved a significant milestone by outperforming students in a real-world Turing Test. This event highlights the AI's advanced capabilities in generating human-like responses that are indistinguishable from those of actual humans. Key Points: Turing Test: The Turing Test, named after Alan Turing, is a measure of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human. In this test, evaluators interact with both humans and AI without knowing which is which and attempt to identify them based on their responses. AI Performance: The AI not only matched but surpassed the students' ability to produce coherent and contextually appropriate responses. This was achieved through sophisticated natural language processing and machine learning techniques. Implications: The success of AI in this test indicates a leap forward in conversational AI, with potential applications in customer service, educatio...

Stanford Engineers a Pocket-Sized Titanium-Sapphire Super Laser

Stanford researchers have unveiled a remarkable advancement in laser technology with the development of a pocket-sized titanium-sapphire laser. This innovation is poised to revolutionize fields that rely on high-precision lasers. Traditional titanium-sapphire lasers are known for their broad tunability and high peak power, but they are typically large and cumbersome, limiting their use to laboratory settings. Key Features and Applications: Size and Portability: The new design miniaturizes the laser without compromising its performance, making it portable and more versatile. Medical Diagnostics: The compact size allows for easier integration into medical devices, potentially improving diagnostic tools used for detecting diseases at an early stage. Environmental Sensing: Portable lasers can be deployed in the field to monitor environmental conditions, pollutants, and other critical factors with high accuracy. Precision Measurements: The laser's high precision and tunability make ...
