The global memory shortage due to rapid AI data center expansion is hitting everyone, even the biggest tech companies in the world.
Case in point: Sony is suspending orders for almost all SD card sales from both vendors and consumers, per PetaPixel. The announcement was made on Sony's Japanese website, and explicitly blamed the lack of available memory as a reason why it can't fulfill SD card orders for the time being. | |

Scientists have used pig semen to develop eye drops that can stop tumour growth in the retina and preserve vision, a study1 in mice shows. The work is published today in Science Advances.
It is hoped that the drops could be developed to treat children with retinoblastoma, a cancer of the retina. The condition is typically treated with injections of drugs into the eye, chemotherapy or laser therapy, all of which can damage non-cancerous parts of the eye. Yu Zhang and colleagues at Shenyang Pharmaceutical University in China wanted to develop a method that could penetrate the barrier around the retina and deliver the drugs without causing any unnecessary damage. | |

Staring up from the base at the high walls of the Montana Bowl, a backcountry ski zone in Revelstoke, British Columbia, feels like gazing upon a deadly cathedral. My eyes naturally gravitate to the dangerous bits, but I realize they're pinballing around wildly, because it's almost all dangerous bits. Front and center is a zone they call Bar Fight, a series of increasingly terrifying cliffs and choke points. The terrain to the west is more inviting, but it's riddled with huge man-made jumps, some of which require a perfect landing in order to avoid becoming mush on a tree. There are two fresh debris fields, evidence of small, naturally occurring avalanches.
My overwhelming thought is that I can't believe they're about to hold a snowboarding contest on that stunning monstrosity. | |

Whales have high levels of cognition and complex social lives, but studying this massive marine species has been challenging. Maalouf et al. used high-density drone imaging and advanced network analyses to reveal the dynamics of a sperm whale birth in the Caribbean. They found that other females assisted the mother, including those that were in different kin and social groups and were only distantly related to her. Such assisted births have thus far only been seen in primates. This observation confirms the suspected social complexity of whales and suggests that modern observational tools are likely to continue to reveal the secrets of other species that are difficult to study. | |

When Oudone Lothirath was in immigration detention in January, he missed four out of five chemotherapy sessions he had scheduled in his fight against aggressive lymphoma.
While Lothirath expected to eventually die of the disease, he had hoped to live as long as possible with treatment. But a scan last month showed the cancer had spread into his bone marrow.
“I was in shock, seeing those little dots,” he said of the scan. “When I was down in Texas, I didn’t get no medical attention, nothing.”
His fight for release was easier than other immigrants. His friend and personal care assistant, Christina Vilay, presented a letter from M Health Fairview explaining he would “succumb” without ongoing chemotherapy. Without the need for a lawsuit, ICE agreed to fly Lothirath back to Minnesota after spending 10 days in custody.
“Shockingly enough, they let him out, but I think it’s because they just knew if he stayed, he would have died in their custody,” Vilay said. | |
