How old do you look? New app will tell you how "old" you are

0:03 Caloroga Shark Media. My dog is helping me record the podcast today. She's very clingy. It's been reading, so we haven't been going for our long walk. So I think that's what that's about. If I get distracted, and obviously I'm already distracted. That's why. Hi, I hope you're enjoying Memorial the weekend. I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. A new AI tool can predict your biological age from a selfie. I'd be afraid to do this. I just I don't know. I'm always worried about giving my data up. But we could trust the scientists at Mass General Bringham in Boston, right. They've developed an AI two called face Age. It's an algorithm designed to tell patients biological age from a photo. Biological age is considered crucial in helping doctors determine the most appropriate therapy, for example, if a cancer patient is healthy enough to tolerate in an aggressive treatment. Researchers trained face Age using fifty nine thousand photographs of people ages sixty and over who were presumed to be healthy.

1:04 Most of the photos were publicly available on Wikipedia and the IMDb Internet Movie Database. Some came from Utkface, a large scale data set with pictures of people from less than a year old to one hundred and sixteen years old. They then tested it on a group of sixty two hundred cancer patients using photos taken at the start of radiotherapy treatment. The algorithm determined when it came to their health. Cancer patients were, on average, about five years older than their chronological age. The tool found that the older their faces looked, the worst their survival outlook. Using a photo alone, doctors guest right sixty one percent of the time. Given photos and clinical information on the patients, doctors were right about seventy four percent of the time. Provided with face age and medical chart information, the doctor's accuracy reached eighty percent.

1:54 Here's a fun one. Remember actor Wilford Brimley, who looked like super old even when he was young. The developers had face age look at photos of Paul Rudd and Wilford Brinley when they were each fifty. The algorithm thought Paul Rudd was forty three for Wilford Brimley sixty nine. Brimpley did live to be eighty five, though he looked sixty for about forty years. Hey good news for Harvard Law School, they had a copy of the Magna Carta. It turned out to be a real one. That's right. A manuscript once considered an unofficial copy of the Magna Carta is now believed to be a genuine version and quote, one of the world's most valuable documents. Harvard acquired this thing in nineteen forty six for twenty seven dollars and fifty cents. It was tucked away in the library. Everyone was like, yeah, it's copy whatever. Professor David Carpenter from King's College, London began analyzing it after seeing digitized images of it on the website. He explains it is the last Magna Carta and it deserves celebration, not some mere copies, stained and faded, but as an original of one of the most significant documents in world constitutional history, a cornerstone of freedom's past, present, and yet to be one. According to Harvard Documents, HLSMS one seven to two was acquired in nineteen forty six was described in an auction catalog as a copy made in thirteen twenty seven, somewhat rubbed and damn stained. How much is it worth today? Well,

3:25 A twelve ninety seven Magna Carta sold at auction in New York in two thousand and seven for twenty one million dollars. Comedian Sebastian Fowler jumped on a bike. He covered three thousand, three hundred and thirty three miles across eleven states in eighty days. He was on his twenty inch BMX bike loaded with twenty seven kilograms of gear. He did this as part of a cross country comedy tour, and while doing it, raised money for kids to get BMX bikes. He explained, you might laugh at this, but when I thought about riding across America, I figured it was about three thousand miles. I rode my bike downtown from my house in Ocean Beach to downtown on San Diego. That was about ten miles, and I thought, if I do that three hundred times, that's the whole trip, and that's the mentality I went with. He had it out on February twenty fifth, departing Ocean Beach on his Sunday Odyssey BMX bike wearing vans slip on Damn Daniel skate pros and started pedaling east a long Interstate eight. That sounds pretty scary to have a bike on an interstate highway.

4:23 I've been on that road. Fowler says, no one's ever done this trip on a BMX bike. No one's ever gone coast to coast on a BMX bike. And there's a good reason for that, because it's a terrible idea and really hard. Well eighty days later, he pedaled into New York City on May fifteenth. He did have a scary story. One night he was out there, four pairs of green eyes tracked him from the roadside. They were mountain lions. He said, I pulled my knife out and just started screaming like a madman. I unlocked this primal sense of myself that I didn't know existed. But I was also terrified because they knew once the bike light and my headlamp died. Their eyes are a lot better than mine.

If you want to know what time it is, a new atomic clock known as the NISTF four at the Boulder, Colorado campus of the National Institute of Standards and Technology is like super accurate. The clock works on caesium atoms, which, as you know, oscillate between quantum states at a frequency of over nine billion times per second. NISTF four uses lasers to who ball of caesium atoms to near absolute zero, then measures of the frequency of the atoms as they passed through the microwave chamber. As they rise and fall like water in a fountain. The atoms oscillate ticking more than nine billion times per second. How accurate is it? Scientists say if this clock started running one hundred million years ago, it would be off by less than a second. And we've got another loose kangaroo. I don't know what's going out there in America? If you've got a kangaro as a pet, they apparently escape a lot. Irwin, the pet kangaroo, got loose last fall in Colorado. He was young at the time, and he hopped into a bag similar to a mother kangaroo's pouch. Last week or when got out again, he's got bigger. The cop said that bag technique wasn't going to work. How did they catch the kangaroo? Well,

6:49 Officer Sheen is described as a farm boy with animal handling experience, cornered Irwin the kangaroo near a house, snuck up close to him and grabbed him. He carried the cane garoto a police truck's back seat and shut the door. Erwin was taken home to his family. They're not sure how Irwin got out, but the kangaroo's now two, and kangaroo experts tell us by h four or five, kangaroos can grow taller than most men, and we'll weigh two hundred pounds. They can hop much faster than a person runs, and they have a powerful kick. So keep an eye on your kangaroos. And those are your five good news noies for today, all right? I have a good one,
