Analysis of the meteorite Northwest Africa 12264 suggests that planets in the outer Solar System may have formed as quickly as those closer to the Sun, challenging previous models that proposed delayed formation due to icy conditions, and indicating a need to revise our understanding of planetary formation timelines.
Mark Cuban, billionaire entrepreneur and owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, shares a mantra he learned from basketball legend Dirk Nowitzki: "How you do anything is how you do everything." Cuban believes this mantra applies to all fields and emphasizes the importance of effort and attention to detail in order to differentiate oneself. He has instilled this lesson in his professional and personal life, as well as in his children. Research shows that practice and repetition lead to proficiency and mastery. Cuban's own success can be attributed to his relentless effort and determination throughout his entrepreneurial journey.
Samsung is reportedly working with gaming companies such as Epic Games and Krafton to develop exclusive and optimized games for its Galaxy Z Fold lineup. The move is aimed at adding more foldable-specific content and differentiating itself from Chinese brands in the foldable phone market. Samsung Research has formed a Gaming Task Force team in multiple countries to collaborate with gaming firms and create immersive gaming experiences on foldable devices. The company believes that exclusive apps and games will drive adoption of foldable phones, with sales expected to increase by 37.7% this year.
A new leak of iPhone 15 Pro cases reveals a different placement for power and volume buttons, and a larger cutout for the USB-C port. The cases also feature an "action" button that replaces the "Mute" switch, allowing users to pre-select an action. The Pro and Non-Pro models will have fewer differences this year, with all four models featuring the Dynamic Island and a 48MP primary camera. However, key differences remain in battery capacity, display refresh rates, and application processors. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 15 lineup in September.
Building a startup powered by AI or generative AI is cool, but it's not enough. Founders and investors need to run through a few litmus test questions when evaluating the next generative AI company. They should focus on building a product that users love and is defensible in something other than AI. They should also consider the correctness spectrum, differentiate their AI pipeline, and evaluate teams at AI startups. Good infrastructure engineers are some of the best production ML engineers, and startups don't need as many people as they think.
Neural crest cells, a type of stem cell, have been found to retain their flexibility even after they have become visibly differentiated, according to new research from the University of Bath. This finding has significant implications for regenerative medicine, as it suggests that neural crest stem cells have immense potential as treatments to replace and repair damaged body tissue in many parts of the body. The study also reconciles a long-standing debate among biologists over the nature of neural crest cell differentiation, showing that these cells are choosing their fate in a much more dynamic, mobile way than previously thought.
After years of consolidation efforts to compete with Facebook and Google for digital advertising dollars, many digital media companies have abandoned the strategy to concentrate on differentiation and building core brand strength. The decline in BuzzFeed shares, a failed sales process from Vice, the collapse of special purpose acquisition companies, and a choppy advertising market have made digital media executives rethink their companies' futures. Companies such as BuzzFeed, Vox, and BDG are now trying to find an enduring relevancy amid a myriad of information and entertainment options. While executives may be making strategy decisions with a sharper eye toward the consumer, the problem of finding an exit for investors remains.
