Researchers have developed a contactless method that analyzes a combination of patients’ heart rate data and facial expressions to estimate the pain they’re feeling. No more “on a scale of 1 to 10”. https://spectrum.ieee.org/machine-learning-measure-pain-surgery?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Mastodon-Daily-Pipeline

AI models can't distinguish between users’ beliefs and facts, which could be really detrimental in medical settings where patients could have incorrect beliefs about their medical conditions. All models struggle on tasks involving false beliefs reported in the first-person. https://spectrum.ieee.org/ai-reasoning-failures?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Mastodon-Daily-Pipeline

A new solar panel is here that concentrates the sun’s light onto smaller areas. It extracted about 50 percent more power than previous designs. It’s also cheaper, using less than one-thousandth of the expensive semiconductor materials required by normal panels. https://spectrum.ieee.org/solar-panels-micro-cpv?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Mastodon-Daily-Pipeline

Yesterday, Israeli warplanes struck Iran’s main uranium enrichment facility in Natanz, where Iran has been enriching uranium beyond what is needed for peaceful use. These latest attacks come 15 years after Israel inserted the Stuxnet worm into the software at Natanz, destroying approximately 1,000 centrifuges. Stuxnet is regarded as the first cyberweapon that succeeded in destroying industrial infrastructure in an intelligence operation. https://spectrum.ieee.org/the-real-story-of-stuxnet
