NASA UFO commission begins its work
This Monday, October 24, the first-of-its-kind commission on the study of UFOs, organized by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), began its work. NASA announced the creation of such a group back in June of this year, and in August it was promised that the formation of a group of 15-17 world-class scientists would be completed in October. And so it happened: a team of 16, assembled without much solemnity, began to investigate what they call “unidentified aerial phenomena,” writes Reuters. The group prefers not to use the term UFO, as it has long been associated with ideas about flying saucers and alien spacecraft. Now it is important to focus on the observation of phenomena in the air, which cannot be identified as aircraft or known natural phenomena, scientists say. Moreover, NASA has already emphasized: there is no evidence that unidentified aerial phenomena by their nature are of extraterrestrial origin.
The commission, as planned, was headed by American astrophysicist David Spergel. Other members include Anamaria Berea of the SETI (Search for Intelligence Life) project to search for and possibly make contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, retired NASA astronaut and test pilot Scott Kelly, ocean biologist from University of Rhode Island Paula Bontempi and UC San Diego astrophysicist Shelley Wright. It’s hard to say if scientists will be able to find anything interesting, as they will focus solely on unclassified observations and other data collected by the government and the commercial sector. For example, the Pentagon has previously released videos of mysterious flying objects demonstrating speed and maneuverability beyond known aviation technology. At the same time, the observed objects were devoid of any visible power plants or flight control systems. What it was – scientists have to find out. The group will spend 9 months on its research, and its first report is due to be published in mid-2023.

Lenovo’s first AI laptop will be very quiet, but not always. Details about Xiaoxin Pro AI Ultrabook 2024
Lenovo has published a teaser dedicated to its first AI laptop – Xiaoxin Pro AI Ultrabook 2024. One of the main features of the device will be low noise level.
The image shows the cooling system of the Xiaoxin Pro AI Ultrabook 2024. Everything here is pretty standard for a model that does not have a dGPU: two heat pipes and two fans. The creators say that the minimum noise level of the system will be only 17 dBA, and this is really low. But there is a nuance: we are talking about noise at the minimum fan speed in energy saving mode. And although Lenovo says that the laptop’s performance in this mode will be high, it will still be far from what the Core Ultra processor can show in maximum performance mode.
The official premiere of the new product, apparently, will take place this week – immediately after Intel introduces the CPU Core Ultra. Lenovo Xiaoxin Pro AI Ultrabook 2024 will receive 32 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD, an 84 Wh battery (the predecessor has 75 Wh) and support for 100-watt charging.

The iPhone 16 and Galaxy S24 lines will not receive an increase in RAM compared to their predecessors, despite the hype around AI
Samsung smartphones from the Galaxy S24 line and devices from the iPhone 16 line will likely retain the same RAM options that current models currently have.
Analysts at Mizuho Securities, cited by insider Revegnus, say that the growing demand for AI should, in theory, contribute to the growth of RAM in smartphones. We previously reported that thanks to the emphasis on AI, manufacturers may begin to actively equip their smartphones with 16-24 GB of RAM.
However, a significant increase in memory prices, as well as the still missing scenarios for local AI that will run directly on smartphones, will lead to the fact that next year manufacturers will not actively increase the amount of memory. In particular, Samsung and Apple can leave everything as it is now.
This means that the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will each receive 6 GB of RAM, and the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will each receive 8 GB. Samsung’s new generation flagships will have 8 or 12 GB of RAM.
It is likely that other manufacturers will not rush to increase volumes, and this, in turn, may slow down the development of local AI on smartphones.

Samsung today introduced not only the Galaxy A15, but also the Galaxy A25. This model is built on the proprietary SoC Exynos 1280, and its design feature is the so-called “button island”. This is the elevation of the side frame in the area of the power and volume keys.
Galaxy A25 received an AMOLED screen with a diagonal of 6.5 inches, Full HD+ resolution, frame rate of 120 Hz and maximum brightness of 1000 cd/sq.m. Interestingly, unlike the younger model, there are versions with both 8 GB and 6 GB of RAM (the Galaxy A15 has strictly 8 GB), the flash memory capacity is only 128 GB.
The main camera of the Galaxy A25 has three sensors with a resolution of 50, 8 and 2 megapixels. The main module has optical stabilization. Front camera with 13 megapixel sensor.
The battery capacity is 5000 mAh, and supports 25 W wired charging. One UI 6.0 out of the box is used as the shell. Dimensions and weight of the smartphone are 161 x 76.5 x 8.3 mm and 197 grams. Price: $270.
