  • Experts Warn of ‘Enormous’ Growing Threat to the US

    Experts Warn of ‘Enormous’ Growing Threat to the US

    Global public health experts are warning that the United States is not prepared for looming threats posed by tropical and insect-borne viruses.

    At a two-day workshop this week at the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine in Washington, D.C., experts said arboviral threats, or mosquito- and tick-borne viruses, are spreading in non-tropical environments.

     

    Tropical diseases such as malaria, Zika and dengue fever have all seen U.S. transmissions and outbreaks in recent years. Experts said increased globalization and climate change allow the tropical insects and diseases to thrive in southern, eastern and western U.S. states, especially.

     

    The first U.S. cases of malaria in 20 years were reported in June. CDC spokesperson Kate Fowlie noted the response to those cases in Florida and Texas as a pivotal, recent example of halting the spread of a mosquito-transmitted disease.

    “The CDC is working hard with its federal, territorial, state, and local partners to address the growing threat of vector-borne diseases,” Fowlie told Newsweek via email. “One recent example of the importance of this work is when CDC, state and local partners worked successfully together to help prevent ongoing transmission of malaria earlier this year. This effort underscores the importance of supporting efforts to prepare for, prevent and respond to vector-borne diseases.”

     

    “If we don’t do anything, which is basically what we’re doing right now, it’s going to get worse,” Thomas Scott, a medical entomologist and professor emeritus at University of California, Davis, said during the workshop. “The damage from inaction is enormous, it’s unacceptable. It’s unethical.”

     

    National Public Radio (NPR) reported on Friday that the U.S. has lost a lot of its ability to track insects. In 1927, every state had its own entomologist. Currently, only 16 states have an entomologist, according to Erin Staples, a medical epidemiologist with the CDC.

     

    “That means the nation’s ability to monitor viruses like West Nile is sparse. We’re not getting great information because we haven’t maintained our infrastructure,” Staples told the conference.

     

    Officials recently predicted record numbers of dengue fever infections by the end of the year. The chief scientist for the World Health Organization (WHO), Jeremy Farrar, has warned that the disease is expected to begin spreading into other, non-tropical parts of the world, including Europe, North America, and southern regions in Africa.

     

    Developing out of an initial infection with the dengue virus, the disease can result in a high fever, headaches, vomiting, and prominent skin rashes. Also known as “breakbone fever,” dengue fever is also known to result in joint pain and muscle spasms.

  • Say Goodbye to Online Tracking: Chrome’s New Move to Block Websites

    Say Goodbye to Online Tracking: Chrome’s New Move to Block Websites

    In a significant shift, Google Chrome will begin blocking websites from using third-party cookies starting on January 4th. Initially, this change will only affect 1% of users on computers and Android phones, but it will eventually be extended to all Chrome users by the end of 2024. Blocking third-party cookies is a momentous change for the web, as cookies have been widely used to track online behavior. With Chrome being the dominant browser, accounting for 63% of web usage, this move will have a significant impact.

    While major browser competitors like Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, and Brave have already implemented cookie-blocking measures, Google has been more cautious due to concerns about undermining the online advertising industry. However, the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority intervened in 2021, expressing concerns that Google’s blocking of third-party cookies would give an unfair advantage to its own advertising business.

    Cookies have various uses, including remembering language preferences, protecting against fraud, and simplifying site logins. Many of these uses involve first-party cookies rather than third-party cookies set by advertisers or social networks. However, third-party cookies have been known to track users across the web, collecting personal information and selling it to other parties. The removal of third-party cookies will address privacy concerns but may lead to more surreptitious tracking methods like fingerprinting, which identifies characteristics of a user’s computing device.

    Google is actively working on alternatives to replace some of the functionalities offered by cookies. For instance, they are developing a programming interface called Topics to facilitate targeted advertising without tracking website activity. However, other browsers like Safari and Firefox do not currently support this interface. Google aims to strike a balance between privacy and supporting businesses by providing tools for online success while ensuring high-quality content remains freely accessible.

    It’s worth noting that the schedule for implementing these changes has been delayed several times in recent years, but Google remains committed to transitioning away from third-party cookies.

  • Apple Takes Action to Shut Down iMessage Integration on Android

    Apple Takes Action to Shut Down iMessage Integration on Android

    In a surprising turn of events, Apple has effectively shut down Beeper Mini, the innovative app that brought iMessage functionality to Android users. Just last week, we tested Beeper Mini, which promised to transform Android’s green bubbles into iPhone’s blue, signaling a breakthrough in cross-platform messaging. However, Apple’s recent intervention has put a halt to the app’s operations.

    Over the weekend, Beeper Mini subscribers, paying $1.99 monthly, encountered a sudden outage. Users across platforms, including Reddit, reported a persistent error code stating, “Failed to lookup on server: lookup request timed out,” a problem I personally experienced with my Beeper Mini app.

     

    In response, a company representative acknowledged the outage on a Reddit thread and assured users that they were working towards a resolution. Further updates from the developers indicated ongoing efforts to restore iMessage functionality on Android, hinting at possible workarounds.

     

     

     

     

     

    Apple’s intervention indicates a clear stance against iMessage’s presence on Android platforms. Beeper Mini, at its launch, was lauded for emulating iMessage’s end-to-end encryption feature on Android devices. Apple, however, has expressed concerns over privacy and security standards. In a statement to The Verge, Apple’s Senior PR Manager, Nadine Haija, emphasized Apple’s commitment to privacy and security, stating that the company blocked techniques exploiting fake credentials to access iMessage.

     

    Apple also raised concerns about potential risks like metadata exposure and increased vulnerability to spam and phishing attacks. This clampdown not only disrupts Beeper Mini’s operations but also casts a negative light on its methods.

     

    The debate over this move is heated, with figures like US Senator Elizabeth Warren criticizing big tech companies for protecting profits at the expense of competition. For a brief period, Beeper Mini achieved a seamless cross-platform messaging experience, a feat long desired by users of both ecosystems.

     

    Despite this setback, the aspiration for a cross-platform iMessage remains strong. However, Apple’s strategic interest in keeping iMessage exclusive to its ecosystem is evident. iMessage is a significant unique selling point, particularly in the US market, and Apple appears determined to maintain this advantage.

     

    Developers like Beeper and earlier attempts by other companies continue to push the boundaries, but Apple’s firm stance poses significant challenges. For now, Apple’s nod towards cross-platform messaging extends only to adopting Rich Communication Services (RCS), which, while an improvement, still distinguishes between Android and iOS messages.

     

    The future might hold an official iMessage app for Android from Apple, possibly even a paid version. Until then, the green and blue bubble divide persists, with group chat dynamics continuing to highlight the differences in messaging platforms. The dream of a unified messaging experience across Android and iOS, free from color-coded messages, remains just that – a dream, at least for now.

    The model is available in three versions: Gemini Ultra, the most extensive version; Gemini Pro, a medium-sized variant; and Gemini Nano, a smaller and more efficient model. Google’s chatbot Bard, akin to ChatGPT, will be powered by Gemini Pro. The Nano version is set to operate on Google’s Pixel 8 Pro phone.

     

    Public reaction to Gemini has been varied, with some users reporting impressive results and others noting occasional inaccuracies. Melanie Mitchell, an AI researcher at the Santa Fe Institute, acknowledged Gemini’s sophistication but questioned whether it significantly surpasses GPT-4’s capabilities.

     

    Gemini belongs to a family of multimodal large language models and is a successor to previous models like LaMDA and PaLM 2. Its architecture is based on decoder-only Transformers, optimized for efficient training and inference on Tensor Processing Units (TPUs). It can handle inputs of varying resolutions, from images to video sequences, and even audio, which is processed into a sequence of tokens.

     

    Prior to its release, the Gemini team conducted thorough model impact assessments to identify societal benefits and potential risks. These assessments informed the development of model policies guiding the model’s evaluation and development. Rigorous evaluations were conducted to align Gemini with these policies and address key risk areas.

     

    To mitigate potential safety issues and reduce instances of hallucination, the team implemented data layer adjustments, instruction tuning, and methods like attribution, closed-book response generation, and hedging. In line with Executive Order 14110 by President Joe Biden, Google has committed to sharing Gemini Ultra’s testing results with the U.S. federal government.

  • How Ancient Mosquitoes are Changing Our Understanding of History

    How Ancient Mosquitoes are Changing Our Understanding of History

    Mosquitoes, the tiny insects responsible for spreading diseases like malaria and Zika fever, have been a menace to humanity for centuries. However, recent discoveries have shed light on their evolutionary history, thanks to the unearthing of ancient fossils. These extraordinary findings have provided scientists with valuable insights into the development of mosquitoes and their blood-feeding behavior. In this article, we delve into the fascinating world of these ancient bloodsuckers and explore the surprising secrets they hold.

    Key Points Reworked:

    Ancient Male Mosquitoes with Female-Like Mouthparts:

    Researchers have unearthed the oldest-known mosquito fossils, dating back 130 million years.

    Surprisingly, these fossils belonged to male mosquitoes with elongated mouthparts similar to those found in females.

    This discovery challenges previous assumptions about the exclusive blood-feeding nature of female mosquitoes.

    Evolutionary Clues from Amber-Preserved Mosquitoes:

    The fossilized mosquitoes were found trapped in amber near Hammana, Lebanon.

    Their well-preserved anatomy revealed sharp, triangle-shaped jaws and tooth-like structures.

    Scientists speculate that mosquitoes evolved from non-blood-consuming insects and initially used their mouthparts to extract nutritious fluids from plants.

    Additional Points:

    Plant Evolution and Feeding Differences:

    The expansion of flowering plants during the same era may have influenced the feeding habits of mosquitoes.

    Male and female mosquitoes likely shared a bloodsucking behavior during their early evolution.

    Over time, males lost their ability to feed on blood, resulting in the distinct feeding pattern seen today.

    Ancient Origins and Extensive Species:

    While these fossils are the oldest evidence of mosquitoes, molecular studies suggest they appeared even earlier, around 200 to 145 million years ago.

    Mosquitoes are a diverse group, with over 3,500 known species worldwide, excluding Antarctica.

    Several species are notorious for transmitting diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, dengue, and Zika fever.

    New Insights or Angles:

    The discovery of male mosquitoes with female-like mouthparts challenges traditional notions of sexual dimorphism in blood-feeding insects.

    The role of plant evolution in shaping mosquito feeding behaviors provides a unique perspective on the interplay between organisms and their environment.

    The ancient fossils of male mosquitoes with female-like mouthparts have unlocked significant insights into the evolutionary history of these disease-carrying insects. By examining these well-preserved specimens, researchers have pieced together a narrative of how mosquitoes may have transitioned from plant feeders to bloodsuckers. This newfound knowledge not only deepens our understanding of mosquito biology but also highlights the intricate connection between organisms and their ever-changing ecosystems. As scientists continue to explore the secrets hidden within ancient amber, we inch closer to unraveling the mysteries of our planet’s past.
