The AI Trick That Could Make You INDISPENSABLE at Work

When you start a new job there is a lot to learn. There are projects, clients, and processes that are likely to be new to you. You may have been pointed at the employee handbook and maybe even given a mentor. But you probably still have more questions than answers for the first few months. As trite as the phrase “drinking from a firehose” may have become, it is a pretty accurate description of those first eight or 10 weeks.

Why These STARS Keep Getting Torn Apart But Won't DIE

Astronomers have found stars that repeatedly skim past supermassive black holes, surviving each encounter while producing a new burst of light. In some systems, those flares mysteriously fade with every return. Researchers now think the key may be stars that were already spinning extremely fast before being captured. That rapid rotation could explain both the fading flares and how the stars ended up in such extraordinarily tight black hole orbits.

The CREATURE That Lives 400 Years Without AGING
