Powerful Falcon Heavy rocket launches largest satellite into orbit after several delays
SpaceX hilariously launched its powerful Falcon Heavy rocket, sending three satellites into deep geostationary orbit. The event is notable because it is only the sixth successful launch of the Falcon Heavy, in contrast to the Falcon 9 rockets, which have been launched regularly (already more than 200 launches).
The Falcon Heavy lifted off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Sunday after several days of weather delays and a last-minute launch delay on April 28. SpaceX did not give a reason.
Sunday’s mission dragged on but was successful, with the three satellites delivered as planned within 13 minutes, starting about 4.5 hours after launch, SpaceX said.
Sunday’s main payload was ViaSat-3 Americas, a 6,400 kg broadband satellite that will be operated by California-based Viasat.
“Viasat-3 is the world’s most powerful satellite and the largest all-electric satellite ever launched into orbit,” SpaceX engineer Atticus Vadera said shortly before launch.
The second satellite was Arcturus, a communications ship that will be operated by San Francisco-based Astranis Space Technologies.
“Despite weighing only 300 kg, the powerful communications satellite is capable of delivering up to 7.5 Gbps of bandwidth to Alaska and the surrounding region,” writes EverydayAstronaut.com.
The third payload was the GS-1 satellite, which will be operated by Washington-based Gravity Space. The main mission of the GS-1 is to provide connectivity for IoT applications, although it will perform other tasks in orbit.

A full-fledged Intel Core, 14.8 mm thick and weighing 1.24 kg at a price of $ 340. Infinix INBook X2 Slim laptop introduced

Infinix’s range has been expanded with the INBook X2 Slim laptop, which, as you might guess from the name, stands out for its thin body.
Indeed, the thickness here is only 14.8 mm, and the novelty weighs only 1.24 kg. And this at a starting price of just $340!
The conditional payment for such characteristics is the platform. The laptop relies on far from the latest 11th generation Intel Core processors, that is, Tiger Lake. In general, they are quite good today, but here it is worth noting that the basic version of the laptop has a Core i3-1154G4, and this is a dual-core model. More expensive modifications already have quad-core Core i5 and Core i7, but then you have to pay a minimum of $ 475.
As for the rest of the parameters, the mobile PC has from 8 to 16 GB of RAM, an SSD from 256 GB to 1 TB, a 15-inch screen with a narrow frame and Full HD resolution, Wi-Fi 5 and 65-watt charging. The set of ports is represented by a pair of USB 3.0, USB-C and an SD card slot.

Still cheaper than any other similar smartphone, but not so revolutionary. Motorola Razr and Razr Plus will be more expensive in the global market than in China

Motorola yesterday introduced foldable smartphones Moto Razr 40 and Moto Razr 40 Ultra, which turned out to be cheaper than all competitors, and the younger model even offers a revolutionary price for this segment at $560. However, these are Chinese prices, and in the global market everything is different, since new items are significantly more expensive there.
To start with, the Moto Razr 40 is called the Razr in the global market, and the Moto Razr 40 Ultra is called the Razr Plus.
In the US, apparently, only the latter will be sold at a price of $1,000. In Europe, they will already ask for 1200 euros for it. The base model Razr will be available in select countries in Europe, Latin America, and Asia, but pricing has not yet been announced. It is expected that it will be around 700-800 euros. It’s still cheaper than other similar smartphones, but not as revolutionary as $560.

OpenAI came up with a remedy for “hallucinations” in neural networks

One of the problems of modern neural networks is their “hallucinations”. This is the name given to data that does not correspond to the real state of affairs, but neural networks generate them along with true facts. And now OpenAI announced that it has come up with a new method for training artificial intelligence models that will help to cope with the “hallucinations” of AI.
“Even the most modern models are prone to false conclusions – they tend to invent facts in moments of uncertainty. These hallucinations are especially critical in areas that require multi-step reasoning, since one logical error is enough to make the whole result wrong.”, write the OpenAI researchers in the report.
The idea of the new method is to change the motivation system for AI. In other words, it is proposed to reward the neural network for each correct step of reasoning, instead of the reward being given for the final correct answer. This will allow the neural network to be more accurate and check the facts.
According to the researchers, the detection and elimination of logical errors in the model, or hallucinations, is an important step towards creating a consistent AGI. [искусственного интеллекта общего назначения]”said Karl Cobbe, staff mathematician at OpenAI. He also clarified that the company has already opened access to the accompanying data set of 800,000 labels that were used to train the neural network as part of the study.
At the same time, the problem is far from being solved, and experts say that the company has not yet opened all the information on this study. Thus, the risk of AI “hallucinations” remains relevant for the time being.
