Healthcare providers in Australia face unique challenges online, including strict AHPRA compliance rules and small teams with limited time. Social media is the tool to bridge those gaps. With the right strategy and platform, you can effectively connect to your local community, share credible health education and strengthen patient trust. Plus, a strategic approach to social media for healthcare can reduce daily workloads. This is how Australian healthcare providers can extend the reach of their social media customer service to educate, engage and build trust with patients, even in remote locations. Why social media matters for rural healthcare In Australia,…

[Submitted on 2 Jul 2025 (v1), last revised 19 Dec 2025 (this version, v4)] View a PDF of the paper titled SpecCLIP: Aligning and Translating Spectroscopic Measurements for Stars, by Xiaosheng Zhao and 8 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have transformed natural language understanding through vast datasets and large-scale parameterization. Inspired by this success, we present SpecCLIP, a foundation model framework that extends LLM-inspired methodologies to stellar spectral analysis. Stellar spectra, akin to structured language, encode rich physical and chemical information about stars. By training foundation models on large-scale spectral datasets, our…

The US Food and Drug Administration today approved a pill version of the blockbuster anti-obesity drug Wegovy. Made by Novo Nordisk, the pill is taken once a day. The company’s original version of Wegovy is a weekly injection. Both drugs contain the same active ingredient, semaglutide.“This allows patients with obesity who want to lose weight to have a choice between a once weekly injection or a daily tablet,” says Martin Holst Lange, chief scientific officer at Novo Nordisk.With the soaring popularity of injectable GLP-1 drugs for weight loss, Novo Nordisk and other pharmaceutical companies have been racing to make effective…

It was exactly a decade ago, on December 21, that SpaceX entered the record books by becoming the first organization to recover an orbital-class rocket by landing it vertically back on Earth. Coming seven years after the idea was first mooted by SpaceX chief Elon Musk, and following four failed landing attempts, a Falcon 9 booster returned to Cape Canaveral in Florida just minutes after deploying 11 Orbcomm OG2 communications satellites, remaining intact as it settled upright on the ground. You can watch the remarkable moment via the video player embedded at the top of this page. The breakthrough saw…

of this series, we will talk about deep learning. And when people talk about deep learning, we immediately think of these images of deep neural networks architectures, with many layers, neurons, and parameters. In practice, the real shift introduced by deep learning is elsewhere. It is about learning data representations. In this article, we focus on text embeddings, explain their role in the machine learning landscape, and show how they can be understood and explored in Excel. 1. Classic Machine earning vs. Deep learning We will discuss, in this part, why embedding is introduced. 1.1 Where does deep learning fit?…

One of the greatest benefits of using Zapier to automate your work is that you don’t need to use code. You can build Zaps (our word for automated workflows), forms, agents, chatbots, and tables without knowing any programming language. There may come a time, however, when you need to do something a little more advanced. Perhaps you know exactly what you want to automate, but Zapier’s existing actions or triggers can’t make it happen. Or maybe you’re getting information from App A, but it’s not in the right format for App B, and it would take lots of steps to get…

Even as OpenAI works to harden its Atlas AI browser against cyberattacks, the company admits that prompt injections, a type of attack that manipulates AI agents to follow malicious instructions often hidden in web pages or emails, is a risk that’s not going away anytime soon — raising questions about how safely AI agents can operate on the open web.  “Prompt injection, much like scams and social engineering on the web, is unlikely to ever be fully ‘solved,’” OpenAI wrote in a Monday blog post detailing how the firm is beefing up Atlas’ armor to combat the unceasing attacks. The…
