WE FINALLY KNOW A LITTLE MORE ABOUT AMAZON'S SUPER-SECRET SATELLITES

Amazon finally launched the first production satellites for its Kuiper broadband network last week. The company has been secretive about the project since it was unveiled in 2019. The designs of the satellites remain unknown, but a fuzzy video released by Amazon on Friday revealed enough to make out their trapezoidal shape. The mass of each Kuiper satellite is estimated to be somewhere between 1,185 and 1,259 pounds.

FUTUREHOUSE RELEASES AI TOOLS IT CLAIMS CAN ACCELERATE SCIENCE

FutureHouse has launched four AI tools (Crow, Falcon, Owl, and Phoenix) designed to support scientific work. Crow can search scientific literature and answer questions about it, Falcon can conduct deeper literature searches, Owl looks for previous work in a given subject area, and Phoenix uses tools to help plan chemistry experiments. The Eric Schmidt-backed nonprofit aims to build an 'AI scientist' within the next decade. Its tools still make mistakes, which may make scientists wary of endorsing them for serious work.
