Researchers with the University of California – San Diego have published a study detailing a new cancer treatment that targets malignant tumors without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue. The treatment was used in mice that had cancerous tumors, revealing that a combination of cancer-targeting immune cells and ultrasound is a promising experimental therapy. The study revolves around chimeric antigen receptor … Continue reading

SpaceX’s next mission to the International Space Station will take place on August 28, NASA has confirmed today, with the scheduling coming shortly after rival Boeing failed to launch its Starliner. It’s the 23rd commercial resupply services mission, with SpaceX having the process down to a fine art at this point as it loads up the Dragon spacecraft with supplies … Continue reading
A voluntary recall was issued here in August of 2021 for frozen dog food sold at PetSmart stores in the USA. The specific sort of dogfood included with the recall was made by the Wet Noses Natural Dog Treat Company of Monroe, Washington, and it affects approximately 51,000 packages of frozen dog food. If you’ve purchased Simply Nourish frozen dog … Continue reading
Wikipedia vandalism is hardly a new phenomenon, but one user was able to add swastikas to tens of thousands of articles. Among the pages that were defaced included ones for leaders such as President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Justin Trudeau, Canada’s prime minister. Articles for celebrities including Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck and Madonna were also affected.
The person responsible edited a template that’s used on around 53,000 pages, Gizmodo reported. As such, the vandal defaced pages that are locked and supposed to have greater protection from such attacks. Wikipedia administrators fixed the problem soon after it emerged on Monday morning. The user has been banned indefinitely.
One admin noted that most widely used templates are locked, but it seems that some of them remain editable by anyone, or as in this case, a newish user who makes some good-faith edits first. Admins protected some more common templates in the wake of the vandalism.
The “unacceptable” attack “violates a number of Wikipedia’s policies,” a Wikimedia Foundation spokesperson told Gizmodo. “Most vandalism on Wikipedia is corrected within five minutes, as we saw today.” Even though the site is enormous and ever-evolving, it’s encouraging that administrators are able to detect and resolve major defacement incidents swiftly.
As the live-action adaptation of Y: The Last Man hit reworks and reshuffles, it felt like we’d go months and months without seeing a single glimpse of what the hell the show was actually going to be. Now that we’re less than a month away, however, footage is making a habit of showing up like all those buses you…
If you have an iPhone, chances are you might want to use it with your computer to back up files or import photos. Using an iPhone with a Mac is undoubtedly easier than using it with a PC, because the two work so seamlessly together. You can pick up a task on a Mac that you started on your phone, and soon you’ll be…
Intel has been working on discrete graphics cards for many years and has just announced that its new GPU will arrive on the PC market under the Intel ARC brand name. Don’t Google this quite yet because you’ll likely find Intel Ark instead, which is Intel’s CPU specifications database.
Intel has been on the road to building a discrete GPU product for more than a decade: remember Larrabee 1 and Larrabee 2, two ambitious projects that did not quite make it.
Intel is no stranger to GPUs and ships many of them in the form of graphics units integrated into some CPU products. As such, the company has a lot of experience with graphics standards and drivers. As of late, the integrated graphics have had an excellent performance bump but are not replacing even low-end discrete graphics from AMD or NVIDIA.
The Intel Xe graphics architecture for graphics cards was recently featured in the Intel Xe DG1 card, and its performance was comparable to an NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030, which has about half the speed of a GTX 1060.
Today’s announcement will translate into Intel’s DG2 hardware (codename “alchemist”) hitting the market under the Intel ARC brand in Q1 2022. We don’t know what the performance is like, but this is an essential step for intel as the company seems ready to compete in at least some market segments.
According to the company, the new hardware supports advanced features such as hardware raytracing with AI-based noise reduction and super-sampling. From an API perspective, Intel will offer “full support for DirectX 12”.
For years, the graphics industry had consolidated from about 50 companies when I started working in video games development to a handful today. It’s exciting to have a major company like Intel (re)entering the high-end graphics market, and we’ll have to see what comes out of it.
In the end, GPU metrics to watch are straightforward: absolute performance, performance per Watt, and performance per dollar spent. Let’s see what Intel can do.
