This Experimental Tech Allows Surgeons to See Through Blood

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-09-04 01:40:57

Invisible Man, eat your heart out. In a first, scientists have just found a way for surgeons to see through blood during a procedure, effectively making it transparent. On Tuesday, Ocutrx Technologies revealed the innovative tool, named HemoLucence. It reportedly uses AI-powered physics to digitally visualize blood as though it were translucent, which should give surgeons a clear view of the tissue beneath while operating. The technology is part of a surgical microscope system that the company

How to Write Compelling Software Release Announcements A release announcement showcases how the user’s experience is better today than it was yesterday. That sounds obvious, but most release announcements seem to forget that there’s a user at all. So many release announcements just enumerate new features in a way that’s totallly divorced from how real people use the software.

Google unveils Gemini CLI, an open-source AI tool for terminals

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-09-04 04:00:00

Google is launching a new agentic AI tool that will put its Gemini AI models closer to where developers are already coding. The company announced on Wednesday the launch of Gemini CLI, an agentic AI tool designed to run locally from your terminal. The new tool connects Google’s Gemini AI models to local codebases, and it allows developers to make natural language requests, such as asking Gemini CLI to explain confusing sections of code, write new features, debug code, or run commands.

Gemini CLI is a free, open source coding agent that brings AI to your terminal

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-04 09:00:04

Some developers prefer to live in the command line interface (CLI), eschewing the flashy graphics and file management features of IDEs. Google's latest AI tool is for those terminal lovers. It's called Gemini CLI, and it shares a lot with Gemini Code Assist, but it works in your terminal environment instead of integrating with an IDE. And perhaps best of all, it's free and open source. Gemini CLI plugs into Gemini 2.5 Pro, Google's most advanced model for coding and simulated reasoning. It can

The US is on the brink of enacting rules for digital assets, with growing bipartisan momentum to modernize our financial system. But amid all the talk about innovation and global competitiveness, one issue has been glaringly absent: financial privacy. As we build the digital infrastructure of the 21st century, we need to talk about not just what’s possible but what’s acceptable.

The axion may help clean up the messy business of dark matter

In recent years, a curious hypothetical particle called the axion, invented to address challenging problems with the strong nuclear force, has emerged as a leading candidate to explain dark matter. Although the potential for axions to explain dark matter has been around for decades, cosmologists have only recently begun to seriously search for them. Not only might they be able to resolve some issues with older hypotheses about dark matter, but they also offer a dizzying array of promising avenue

Assembly Theory of Time

If the lineages are followed back beyond the origin of life on Earth to the origin of the universe, it would be logical to assume that the memory of the universe was lower in the past, which means that the universe's ability to generate objects of high Assembly is limited by its size in time. Some objects are too large in time to come into existence in intervals that are smaller than their assembly index. For complex objects such as computers to exist in our universe, many other objects had to f
