DESIGN A GRAPHQL SCHEMA SO GOOD, IT'LL MAKE REST APIS CRY

The first step to building a well-designed GraphQL schema is to identify the core types in your domain, like Company and JobListing, and then define the relationships between these types. Next, plan query and mutation operations that clients can perform on your API, such as creating or updating job listings. Finally, document your schema thoroughly and use tools to visualize the relationships in your schema.

The upcoming larger text-only version of Meta's Llama 3 model will be available in the EU.

RESEARCHERS TRACK INDIVIDUAL NEURONS AS THEY RESPOND TO WORDS

A recent study into the mechanism of human language comprehension aimed to figure out if there was any structure to the neuronal response to language. It involved playing recorded sets of words to patients who had implants that monitored the activity of neurons located in their left prefrontal cortex, the area of the brain largely responsible for processing language. The study found that the neurons' responses changed based on context - neurons in certain areas would light up if the patient heard specific words. Words presented with context elicited a stronger response compared to when the context was not available.

'SUPERMODEL GRANNY' DRUG EXTENDS LIFE IN ANIMALS

Researchers have discovered a drug that increases the life spans of laboratory animals by nearly 25%. It works by lowering levels of a protein called interleukin-11, which is associated with higher levels of inflammation and other factors that control the pace of aging. Mice with decreased interleukin-11 had lower levels of cancer, improved muscle function, were leaner, had healthier fur, and scored better on many measures of frailty. The drug is already being tested in people, but it is unknown whether it will have the same anti-aging effect.

THE PITFALLS OF IN-APP BROWSERS

In-app browsers have limited functionality, privacy and security concerns, inconsistent UI/UX, and worse performance than normal browsers. Businesses use in-app browsers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks by injecting arbitrary JavaScript code and intercepting network traffic. This allows them to watch what users are doing within their in-app browsers. Websites can detect when in-app browsers are being used and offer links to users to open them in the default browser instead.
