Greece has everything

Chekhov A.P.
Chekhov A.P.

Phraseologism: Greece has everything.

Meaning: We have everything (especially in cases where there is a special need for something that the speaker has) (jokingly ironic).

Origin: The expression is a quote from A.P. Chekhov's vaudeville "Wedding", where one of the characters - a Greek confectioner - boastfully says: "Everything is in Greece."

Random phraseology:

Crocodile tears.

Meaning:

Feigned sadness, insincere regrets.

Origin:

The expression arose in Russian as a result of a literal translation of the complex German word "Krokodilstranen". The appearance of the corresponding formation in the German language is associated with the belief that when a crocodile devours a victim, it sheds tears (cf. in the Alphabet Book of the XNUMXth century: "Korkodil, a water beast ... When you have a man to eat, then he cries and sobs, but the food does not stop").

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Artificial intelligence will be able to approach the capabilities of the human brain 04.05.2019

Researchers at Purdue University have developed technology to use magnetic radiation to program and train robots, self-driving cars and aircraft.

It will allow artificial intelligence to more effectively receive and process information, generalize the received data and independently draw conclusions about the objects surrounding the device, identify their properties and differences.

"Our neural networks mimic certain activities of the human brain and perform calculations using the connections of synapses and neurons, just like the human brain," said Kaushik Roy, professor of computer and electrical engineering at Purdue University.

A group of researchers proposed a fundamentally new learning algorithm based on the biological processes of regulating the strength of connections between neurons (Spike-timing-dependent plasticity), which were experimentally discovered in the hippocampus of a laboratory rat. Magnetic radiation in the technology is used to control the state of magnetization of neurons, which allows you to influence the energy efficiency of AI, the speed of processing and compressing the amount of data.

"We have created a simpler neural network that can be used to solve complex problems and optimize processes such as building schedules and routes," Roy said.
