Mixing Covid-19 Vaccines Raises Antibodies, Study Finds
Mixing Covid vaccines produces as much or more antibodies as using the same shot as a booster, according to preliminary results of a widely awaited U.S. government-sponsored trial. Today, FDA advisers begin meeting to debate whether people who got the Covid-19 vaccines made by Moderna Inc. and Johnson & Johnson should receive booster shots.

Facebook Building AI That Sees, hears, And 'Understands' Everything We Do
The social media giant reportedly wants to train its artificial intelligence to understand the world just like humans do, by feeding it video recordings from augmented reality glasses
Facebook wants to build an artificial intelligence that learns to understand the world like humans—by watching our every move.
The tech giant has announced plans to teach AI to 'understand and interact with the world like we do' in first person. It hopes to do this by using video and audio from augmented reality (AR) glasses like its new high-tech Ray-Bans.
"AI typically learns from photos and videos captured in third-person, but next-generation AI will need to learn from videos that show the world from the center of action," the company said.
It went on: "AI that understands the world from this point of view could unlock a new era of immersive experiences." Read More

WEF: You Can Now Live Forever. (Your AI-Powered Twin, That Is)
Mind Bank Ai is the newest entrant in an ambitious idea: using AI to create a kind of immortality.
It’s January 17, 2020 — the world has yet to change; Wuhan locks down six days later — and Emil Jimenez is on a train from Vienna to Prague. His daughter, then four years old, inadvertently activates Siri while playing pony games on her iPad.
“She’s like, ‘Daddy,’ y’know, ‘what is this?’” Jimenez tells me on a video call from the Czech Republic. Jimenez tells her it’s Siri, and encourages her to talk to the digital assistant.
Her first question is if Siri has a mother.
From there, she peppers the artificial intelligence with the kinds of questions kids ask — do you like ice cream? do you like toys? — and, by the end of their conversation, tells Siri she loves it, that she’s her best friend.
Jimenez, who has a background in psychology, sees this heartwarming interaction and is struck by how quickly and seamlessly his daughter formed a relationship with the AI — we usually ring Siri when we need something, even if it’s a laugh. Read More

COVID-19: Lateral Flow Tests Are More Accurate Than Previously Thought, Researchers Find
The tests will detect most people at risk of transmitting COVID-19 and are a reliable public health tool in stopping the spread of the virus, UCL researchers have found.
The peer-reviewed paper, published on Thursday in Clinical Epidemiology, found that the tests will detect most people at risk of transmitting COVID-19. The report also said the tests are a reliable public health tool in stopping the spread of the virus.
The researchers used a new formula to show that lateral flow tests (LFTs) are likely more than 80% effective at detecting any level of infection. They are also more than 90% effective at detecting those who are most infectious when using the test, the researchers found. Read More
