In a groundbreaking move, Epic Systems has announced plans to shift all its customers to a new government-backed medical records exchange by the end of the next year. This decision comes as part of the company’s commitment to the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA), which aims to establish a secure platform for sharing
Cognitive flexibility, the ability to quickly switch between different thoughts and mental concepts, is a valuable human capability. This ability enables multitasking, rapid skill acquisition, and adaptation to new situations. While artificial intelligence (AI) systems have advanced in recent decades, they still lack the flexibility seen in humans. Researchers are now exploring how neural circuits
On Wednesday, GitHub faced a major setback when its website and various services were affected by significant issues. The company quickly took action by rolling back changes to its database infrastructure, which were identified as the root cause of the problem. Thankfully, GitHub has reported that its services are now back to being fully operational.
Valve has been vocal about their intentions to extend the availability of SteamOS beyond the Steam Deck, their handheld gaming device. Recent beta updates have hinted at the inclusion of support for other gaming devices, such as the Asus ROG Ally. According to The Verge, Valve has confirmed that they are actively working on bringing
YouTube has recently announced plans to increase the number of longer ad breaks within its Connected TV experiences in order to provide viewers with bigger blocks of uninterrupted content.
