Led by Zhang Dong, an associate professor at Northwestern Polytechnical University's aeronautics school, a team has created an advanced AI combat system. This system can communicate instructions to the flight controller in plain language, supported by data and visuals like charts.

Additionally, it can explain the importance of each instruction within the ongoing combat scenario, detailing the maneuvers required and the tactical reasoning behind them.

Zhang's team discovered that this technology provides a fresh way for human pilots to engage with AI. For example, in a post-simulation review, an experienced pilot can spot the reasons behind the AI's mistakes. Through effective feedback, the AI learns from human input and avoids making similar errors in future battles.

Zhang's team discovered that AI capable of heartfelt communication can achieve almost perfect success rates with just 20,000 rounds of combat training. On the other hand, traditional "black box" AI needs around 50,000 rounds to reach a 90% success rate and faces challenges in further improvement.

Zhang's team has currently used the technology in ground simulators only. However, they expressed in a peer-reviewed paper published on April 12 in the Chinese academic journal, Acta Aeronautica et Astronautica Sinica, that they plan to expand its use to more realistic air combat settings in the future.

Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan have found a way to make hydrogen fuel more affordable. They mixed a little manganese with much rarer iridium, a costly metal usually used for making hydrogen.

This combination led to a remarkable 95% decrease in the amount of iridium needed. Cutting down this amount of iridium, the primary catalyst, doesn't noticeably impact hydrogen production.

This finding tackles the problem of iridium shortage, which makes producing hydrogen fuel more cost-effective. As this breakthrough progresses, it could lead to using hydrogen fuel on a larger scale as a green option to fossil fuels, using plentiful resources like water.

An XEJet Airlines aircraft from Abuja skidded off runway 18L at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja Lagoson Saturday, May 11. The XeJet E145 aircraft with registration number, 5NBZZ, at about 11.29 a.m. veered off the runway into the grass verge at the point of landing.

The aircraft had 52 passengers and three crew members.

Men of the airport fire and rescue teams were on ground to help in the evacuation of the passengers after the aircraft veered off the runway.

The Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) has confirmed the incident. In a statement released, the NSIB said the bureau’s ‘Go Team’ had been deployed to the scene for evacuation of passengers and crew members

The runway 18L is currently closed to traffic.

Recall that a Dana Air flight skidded off the Lagos airport runway, leading to the diversion of other flights to the international airport on April 23.

To commemorate its 25th anniversary, the iconic Nokia 3210 has made a comeback, delighting those nostalgic for simpler times.

HMD, the company behind Nokia phones, has reintroduced this "cultural icon" in response to increasing demand for less complicated devices to facilitate digital detoxes. The updated 3210 now boasts a two-megapixel camera, supports 4G calling, and retains the beloved classic game Snake, all available for £74.99.

Lars Silberbauer, HMD's chief marketing officer, remarked, "The Nokia 3210, a cultural icon, is back at the forefront of the global dumbphone trend as consumers seek to balance their screen time usage with a digital detox. The Nokia 3210 embodies simplicity, enabling consumers to be fully present. Forget dumbphone; this is 2024's fun phone."

Ben Wood, mobile phone expert and founder of the Mobile Phone Museum, reflected on the model's significance: "The original Nokia 3210 holds a special place in the hearts of many consumers as one of the best-selling mobile phones of all time. It's the perfect product to reimagine for the modern era given its strong heritage and iconic design."

Nigerians in X share stories of how some men went to the extreme just to sleep with a lady who proved hard to get

At the flashy Beijing Auto Show, Dongfeng showcased their version of the Cybertruck. It might not go into production, but Chinese carmakers often create unusual vehicles, so this electric truck could show up on roads soon.

The truck seems to use Dongfeng's electric platform, boasting an impressive 1,305 horsepower, surpassing even Tesla's top CyberBeast model.

Dongfeng's designers clearly drew inspiration from the Cybertruck. Their version has smoother edges than Tesla's and likely doesn't use stainless steel for the body panels. It features an LED light bar upfront that can show different images, a lit-up logo, and a tough skid plate. Plus, it has a small front trunk (frunk).

Checking out the truck from the side reveals cool stuff. It's got rear doors that open uniquely, retractable steps, sleek wheel covers, and tough tires. And at the back, Dongfeng showed off a tent that pops out from the bed, keeping the Cybertruck vibes going. Inside, you'll find a square steering wheel and displays stretching across the dashboard. The seats look wild, with what seems like carbon fiber on the backrests.

The heart of men is extremely wicked.
