This is a very interesting development in Exosuits.
Pretty soon soldiers will be wall-running just like in #Titanfall https://boingboing.net/2019/08/16/exoskeleton-shorts-that-amplif.html

The Sensitivity Conjecture solved.
This article is a good start to inform others that there are other types of intelligence that are overlooked. https://www.techquila.co.in/the-nine-types-of-intelligence/
From my point of view, this list is still lacking. I think it lacks something about Spirituality, Wisdom, emotional, hustle -- these are still not recognized.

Would you drink camel milk?
I would. I tried soy and oat milk, and goat milk, so I'm open to other kinds of milk :)
Hmm...I was just visiting MIT the other day, and they come up with this:
Gen, A New AI Programming Language That Thrives On Automation, Flexibility And Speed
This kinda makes sense. I noticed that my reliance now on Google maps for driving directions has made my memory of roads and routes poorer than when I used actual maps back then, pre-internet days.

Another LoL about that horns growing on kids' skulls. it's not true, that's why i LoL'd the first time. But it is funny because i have teenage kids! Oh mine have horns for sure! Hahah! :D https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/06/debunked-the-absurd-story-about-smartphones-causing-kids-to-sprout-horns/
Lol! I'm not surprised!
Horns are growing on young people's skulls. Phone use is to blame, research suggests.
Mobile technology has transformed the way we live - how we read, work, communicate, shop and date. But we already know this. What we have not yet grasped is the way the tiny machines in front of us are remolding our skeletons, possibly altering not just the behaviors we exhibit but the bodies we inhabit. New research in biomechanics suggests that young people are developing hornlike spikes at the back of their skulls - bone spurs caused by the forward tilt of the head, which shifts weight from the spine to the muscles at the back of the head, causing bone growth in the connecting tendons and ligaments. The weight transfer that causes the buildup can be compared to the way the skin thickens into a callus as a response to pressure or abrasion. The result is a hook or hornlike feature jutting out from the skull...
