Kimi K2 is a powerful AI language model with 1 trillion parameters, designed to understand very long texts and perform complex tasks like coding, reasoning, and using tools autonomously. It excels at writing and debugging code, solving math and science problems, and managing multi-step workflows by calling external tools or APIs automatically. You can access it via an easy-to-use API or deploy it on popular platforms. This means you get a smart assistant that not only answers questions but also acts to complete tasks, making your work faster and more efficient, especially for coding and research projects.

#Ethiopia's #Afar Rift provides glimpse into life and death 100,000 years ago
The study of ancient cultures around Ethiopia during the Middle Stone Age (MSA) time period is important for understanding how some of the first Homo sapiens lived and eventually left Africa. Unfortunately, there are not many well-preserved, open-air archaeological sites from the MSA, especially with both human fossils and artifacts. The Middle Awash study area in Ethiopia, however, is one of the few areas with a well-preserved treasure trove of artifacts capable of painting a picture of early human life in Ethiopia. A new study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reports on some fascinating findings from this region, giving clues into what life—and death—might have been like.
Life in the Afar Rift
Around 1,800 piece-plotted stone artifacts larger than a centimeter were found, along with 132 animal remains.

AFAR: перспективы и опасности космического туризма
Зачем люди летают в космос? Космонавты и учёные - понятно, они двигают наш прогресс и понимание Вселенной вперёд. Но какая мотивация посетить орбиту у "простого" человека, который отдаёт миллионы долларов за несколько часов наблюдения нашей планеты с огромной высоты? На самом деле многие считают, что в этот момент на путешественника снисходит некое озарение, позволяющее по-новому взглянуть на свою жизнь и существование на Земле в целом. Так ли это? И стоит ли подобный опыт всех усилий? А может быть подобное просветление самообман, и заскучавшим от избытка удовольствий богачам просто хочется чего-то совсем необычного?
"Известно, что актер Уильям Шатнер сказал Джеффу Безосу после полета на корабле Blue Origin, что увидеть космос — все равно что увидеть смерть. «Там внизу синева, а наверху чернота… Это смерть? Это и есть смерть?» — вопрошал Шатнер. Рассматривая тонкость атмосферы, защищающей жизнь на Земле, на фоне необъятности Вселенной, Шатнер был поражен тем, насколько хрупкая оболочка обозначает разницу между человеческим существованием и его отсутствием".

News: Outreach vaccination, screening campaign reaches conflict-hit, remote communities in #Ethiopia
Health teams deployed under the SLL program have identified and vaccinated more than 3,000 zero-dose children in remote areas, with recent campaigns reaching over 40,000 children across #Afar, #Amhara, #Oromia, and #Tigray regions.
The intervention is also addressing Ethiopia’s large population of “zero-dose” children, estimated at 3.9 million, who have not received routine vaccinations due to conflict, geographic isolation, and limited healthcare access.
