That's not entirely accurate. Telomeres shorten with age but cancers generally are triggered by mutations or defects much further in the DNA away from the telomeres. So one hypothesis is that telomeres shrink with age which causes runa

Gonna need a source on that one. As much as I despise Elon Musk, the cost per kg to LEO has gone down a lot in recent years thanks to spacex.

Statistically most would be. Assad's regime were Shiites (~13% of the population) and the HTS are Sunni (74% of the population). This doesn't necessarily mean they are better but at the very least of two very theistic groups, the

I was linking the proposers day video not as a direct answer but rather to try and show how that specific aspect is connected to all the other research going on on this topic as well. And they even mentioned in that video that TA2 is the pa

Yep. I worded it a bit awkwardly but that was what I was getting at. And mostly I was trying to make the distinction between damage within the "eyeball" vs more comprehensive damage further up the optic nerve as that distinction w

So the short TLDR answer is that they are only working on one part of this. There are 30+ teams who were awarded funding and are working on the THEA project across the US [1]. Those teams are each working on aspects of one of the three diff

These are all different projects awarded by ARPA-H as part of their THEA project [1]. They are all aimed at the same end goal but they have different approaches and specific focuses. Generally with ARPA and DARPA projects the best way to ge

So it's a bit of an open question exactly what causes glaucoma. Optic nerve degeneration is one of the potential causes but nerve damage within the eye due to decreased blood flow or due to increased intraocular pressure are both possi

The colliquial "x86 License" is the AMD-Intel Patent cross-licensing agreement. i.e. All patents related to x86 or any extensions of the ISA are automatically cross-licensed between the companies. While in the past the ISA patent

Unfortunately rights to the x86_64 license expire on the event of transfer of either company to a new owner.

Also noting that you can occassionally get a "tortiose shell" esque male cat via a pretty rare process known as chimerism. i.e. two or more different embryos merge in the womb resulting in different parts of the body being formed

What do they do that Nvidia doesn't (and that Nvidia would care about)? They already do networking, photonics, GPUs, high speed interconnects, and CPUs. They are planning on selling their FPGAs (the Altera acquisition) to Lattice. The

Specifically what it looks like they are pursuing is an SoC built around an FPGA that is optimised for runtime reconfiguration speed and presumably with an ISA extension to request and then later release configurations.

Android Auto works well for me on Graphene (Pixel 9 Pro) but I obv can't make GPay work given that it relies on the OS having Google's blessing and they are actively hostile to GOS as a project.
