Boston Dynamics has released a new video that demonstrates the operation of their humanoid robot Atlas.
Atlas shows off its new capabilities by performing tasks without human control. In a simulated industrial environment, the robot autonomously moves motor parts and manages sequences of actions using advanced machine learning technology and sensors to detect and manipulate objects.
Atlas is able to respond dynamically to changes in the environment, allowing it to adapt to different situations. For example, if a part does not fit, the robot adjusts its actions in real time. This makes it more versatile than other robots, such as Tesla Optimus, which depend on remote control.

The Morgan Library and Museum in New York City has discovered a previously unknown waltz by Frédéric Chopin.
Museum curator Robinson McClellan found a yellowed sheet of music with a short piece of music for 24 bars (48 including repetition) signed with the famous composer's surname.
An analysis of the paper and ink, as well as a study of the composition's handwriting and musical style, confirmed that it was a forgotten waltz by Chopin, written between 1830 and 1835, when the composer was about 20 years old. The duration of the waltz is about 80 seconds, which is shorter than waltzes written by Chopin in earlier years.
The discovery was the first of its kind in more than half a century. Chopin, born in 1810, was a piano virtuoso and left behind some 250 works.

An unusual story happened to a girl who, while watching the series "Family Therapy", discovered that the characters live in her own apartment. The most interesting thing is that she claims that she does not remember that filming was ever carried out in her apartment.
Such situations are not uncommon in the film industry - location managers often look for suitable apartments for filming through real estate agencies or even through ads. The owner can get the same amount for one shooting day as for a month of regular rent. Perhaps the apartment was rented by the previous owners or through intermediaries, which explains why the current owner is not aware of the filming.
But it still gave me goosebumps.

Vacancies in Antarctica attract attention with their high salaries and unique working conditions. For example, a job as a shift worker offers earnings of about $2000 per week. However, such income will have to be paid for with health - working conditions are very hard: the temperature can drop to -60°C, and there is practically no daylight hours.
Working in Antarctica requires not only physical endurance, but also psychological stability. The watch lasts for six consecutive months, and it is practically impossible to leave the station before the end of the contract.

Noctiluca scintillans are unicellular organisms belonging to the class Dinoflagellates. These microorganisms are known for their ability to bioluminesce, which results in a spectacular glow of the sea during dark hours, especially in warm coastal waters.
Nightshades are widely distributed around the world and are most commonly found in warm waters where phytoplankton are abundant. They are an important part of the marine ecosystem and form a significant part of the zooplankton.
