The second-round draft Mars One selected as an astronaut candidate in 1058

 

Some time ago, a project was launched Mars One. Its purpose is to create a human settlement on Mars. And, for the astronauts is no option to return to Earth.

This year, representatives of Mars One project began with the selection of candidates for a flight to Mars. Total organizers spent about 200 thousand applications, of which only 1,058 were selected persons. They represent 107 different countries. In the second round of selection included 297 people from the U.S., 62 – from India, 52 – from Russia. Among the candidates, men constitute 55% of women – 45%. Throughout 2014-2015, the selection will continue, and on the number of applicants will be only a few dozen people. But this selection of the best candidates will not end. In 2025, Mars is planned to send a small group of astronauts, consisting of 4 people. This will be preceded by several preliminary shipments transport ships with residential units and the necessary equipment.

Note Mars One project on private colonization of Mars is some skepticism. This is mainly due to the intention of organizing a television show of the conquest of the red planet. The whole process is planned to be televised. Currently, negotiations are underway with several studios.

Modern DNA tests for end-users do not give accurate results

Original experiment conducted Peykoff journalist Kira (Kira Peikoff) of The New York Times . She applied to three different companies (23andme, Genetic Testing Laboratories and Pathway Genomics), which offer services for DNA tests directly to consumers. And get very different results.

Thus, according to the company 23andme, Cyrus Peykoff has increased risk of developing psoriasis. Throughout his life, the probability of occurrence of the disease was 20.2%. At the same time test Genetic Testing Laboratories shows that Kira Peykoff risk of psoriasis throughout life is only 2% – significantly less than the average. Pathway Genomics company felt that the risk of developing psoriasis is average. The probability of occurrence of rheumatoid arthritis is 8.2% by 23andme versions and only 2.6% by Genetic Testing Laboratories. In addition, both companies have identified her risk of developing diabetes type. In this case one of the companies described it as a minor (under the probability of disease 15.7%), and the second – the average (with a probability of 10.3%). Obvious is the difference in approach to the interpretation of results. Release 23andme, the likelihood of obesity is 59%, and according to the Genetic Testing Laboratories – 30%.

The likelihood of developing coronary heart disease is 26% according to 23andme and 29% according to Genetic Testing Laboratories. These values ​​are close to the average results. At the same time, Pathway Genomics marked risk of developing the disease as above average.

In 2014, the first may appear self-learning computer systems

According to the resource The New York Times , in 2014, we should expect the first commercial samples of a new type of computer chips. They can not only perform automated tasks that now require painstaking programming, but also be able to learn from their mistakes.

Currently, the major technology companies are working on computer systems, based on the biological nervous system, particularly the ability of neurons to respond to stimuli and communicate with other neurons. This allows the computer to collect new information when performing tasks and appropriately adapt to the situation on the basis of signal change. In the future, these developments will make it possible to create a new generation of artificial intelligence systems that can perform some of the functions inherent in the people, see, speak, hear, move, influence and control. Because of this it will be possible to move forward significantly when performing tasks such as face recognition and voice navigation and planning. At the moment they are still at the initial level.

According to the researchers, this approach will facilitate the opportunity for robots to safely navigate in the real world. But it is too early to talk about the implementation of thinking or consciousness into computers.
