Assassin’s Creed Game Is Free

Image
The Ancient Egypt. Pyramid of Khufu, Sphinx of Giza, Lighthouse of Alexandria.  Assassin’s Creed Origins  is free-to-play on UPLAY. If you missed it now’s your chance.  The popular stealth-action brought players to Ancient Egypt. Cleopatra plays a role, as does Julius Caesar. Play as a man named Bayek. A quest to avenge their son, Khemu. I haven't finished the game yet so I rather stop spoiling. Origins  did more to overhaul the gameplay. The gear system is as robust as  Destiny 2  or  Borderlands 3 . Set on a staggeringly large map. Origins offered up  an entire country  for sneaking and stabbing. The true draw of  Origins  with all  Assassin’s Creed  games is the historical tourism of the Nile and Mediterranean coast.  Origins  introduced the Discovery Tour with combat and missions are disabled. Replaced with historian-guided tours of famous relics. Assass...

Spot, the 4-legged Robot

Image
This android has been the center of attention since a Boston Dynamics released a prototype video 10 years ago, showing the world that it was possible for a robot to autonomously recover from ice slides, kicks, and even make its way back onto its feet from a fall. Spot is a quadruped robot built to handle a myriad of tasks, whether it be surveying a multi-floor building, it can climb stairs, it can get back up if it falls, or even help COVID-19 patients at local hospital, and for a commercial or industrial application that can benefit from the use of a four-legged robot. Simply pick up its Android-based controller and work using the on-screen menus and joysticks. If battery is fully charged, Spot can be piloted for up to 90 minutes at a time. Each mission first requires the operator to record a path for Spot by picking up the controller and piloting it through an environment. Boston Dynamics plans to add complete remote functionality, that could soon pilot Spot across the glo...

Supercomputers are the scientists' best friend to stop COVID-19

Image
Supercomputers are being used to predict the spread of the virus, to optimize contact tracing, to allocate resources and provide decisions for physicians to design vaccines and rapid testing tools, and to understand sneezes. The largest number of COVID-19 supercomputing projects involves designing drugs. Likely to take several effective drugs to treat the disease and allow researchers to take a rational approach and aim to selectively muzzle proteins that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, needs for its life cycle. The University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, uses a supercomputer to discover drugs. Building three-dimensional virtual models of biological molecules like the proteins used by cells and viruses, and simulate how various chemical compounds interact with those proteins and test thousands of compounds to find the ones that “dock” with a target protein. The compounds that fit, lock-and-key style, with the protein are pot...
