Robots could help to detect mental wellbeing issues in children, study finds
Cambridge University researchers had a child-sized humanoid robot complete a series of questionnaires with 28 children aged between eight and 13 to assess mental wellbeing.
They found that the youngsters were willing to confide in the robot, sometimes sharing information that they had not yet shared via online or in-person questionnaires.

Robots Chop a Few Bucks off the Price of Lunch at This Fully Automated Restaurant
Even before labor shortages and supply chain issues began plaguing the economy, the food service industry was bringing in robots. From flipping burgers to making pizzas , automation has been taking over a variety of food preparation tasks.
The restaurant is located in an outdoor food court in San Francisco's Mission Bay neighborhood, alongside similar businesses. The similar businesses are namely food trucks, which is probably a more accurate label for Mezli than "restaurant," except for the important detail that it's not a truck.

Supply chain firm NFI inks $10M deal to deploy Boston Dynamics’ Stretch robots – ...
I admit to having my doubts when Boston Dynamics announced it was getting into the already crowded warehouse/logistics field. One could certainly make the case that Stretch is a bit over-engineered and ultimately a bit of overkill for most situations.
That said, a second big firm has put down a sizable order for the ‘bots. It's a strong vote of confidence for what is still a new system. New Jersey-based supply chain firm NFI has agreed to order $10 million worth of Stretches for its U.S. warehouses.

Why one Harvard scientist believes alien technology may be sitting on the ocean floor | Salon.com
In 2019, a cigar-shaped object known as ' Oumuamua was spotted zipping through the inner solar system and, peculiarly, speeding up while making its exit, seemingly in defiance of the physics of a quotidian asteroid.
Now, Loeb has a new provocative hypothesis, one that relates to a mysterious meteoroid that became known to Earth-dwellers several years before 'Oumuamua.

Saturn’s Rings Are Disappearing – Now. Powered by Northrop Grumman
Other than Earth, Saturn might be the most easily recognizable planet in our solar system. Its rings have mesmerized since Galileo observed them more than 400 years ago.
On its own, Saturn would make an impression. It’s the second-largest planet in the solar system, after Jupiter. That size makes it the farthest planet from Earth that can still be seen with the naked eye.
There are some caveats to this idea, of course. For one thing, it assumes that the way in which the planets formed in our Solar System is applicable to worlds around binary stars. Ample research suggests that Earth-sized worlds might have a hard time even forming in chaotic two-star systems.
Is Pluto a planet? Here's what changed to make it a dwarf planet.
IAU members also concurred that dwarf planets and planets are two distinct classifications. They determined the Solar System contains eight planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Dwarf planets are smaller planets that do not meet all three categories of a planet. According to NASA, they are round in shape and orbit the sun, but don't clear their orbital path.
JWST reveals young star that may be about to give birth to a planet | New Scientist

Soul Hackers 2: how to recruit demons | Digital Trends
Shin Megami Tensei games, whether it be the main series or any of the numerous spin-offs, all center around battling and collecting demons. Sometimes compared to the Pokemon franchise, SMT's demons do have a lot in common with that series in terms of how they function.
Recruiting demons in Soul Hackers 2 is a very different process than how fans of the Persona series know it to be. In that game, you enter into demon negotiations where you talk with demons to try and lure them to your side, often costing some cash, while fighting them.
FBI: Hackers Are Exploiting DeFi Bugs to Steal Funds - Infosecurity Magazine
Cyber-criminals are increasingly exploiting bugs in decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms to steal investor funds, the FBI has warned.
In a Public Service Announcement (PSA) yesterday, the Feds claimed that vulnerabilities in smart contract code have been targeted in several ways, including:
Hackers hide malware in James Webb telescope images
The malware is written in Golang, a programming language that is gaining popularity among cybercriminals because it is cross-platform (Windows, Linux, Mac) and offers increased resistance to reverse engineering and analysis.
In the recent campaign discovered by researchers at Securonix, the threat actor drops payloads that are currently not marked as malicious by antivirus engines on the VirusTotal scanning platform.
Montenegro cyberattack: Russian hackers blamed for infrastructure hack
Montenegro issued a warning over a massive ongoing cyberattack against government services and key public infrastructure including power plants and water supplies.
The Montenegrin Agency for National Security (ANB) said the country had been caught up in a "hybrid war", with Russia using state-backed hackers to bring down infrastructure.
Microsoft Excel attacks fall out of fashion with hackers
"The prominent malware distributed via malicious Excel 4.0 macros was QakBot and Emotet. QakBot switched to a complex infection chain using HTML smuggling and DLL side-loading, which we highlight later in this report."
With Excel macros turned off by default, the researchers found that many of the larger malware groups had to find other ways of infecting machines with more complicated methods. The above-mentioned Qakbot was one extreme example.
OODA Loop - Russian hackers gain powerful 'MagicWeb' authentication bypass
Nobelium, a highly active Russian threat actor, has a new technique for bypassing authentication, according to Microsoft.
The US and the UK believe that the hackers are operating on behalf of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) due to the high-profile nature of its attacks. The threat actor is known for attacks against the supply chain, particularly the SolarWinds attack that targeted 18,000 customers.
