A team of physicists at MIT recently published a mind-blowing research paper detailing their successful efforts to use entanglement and ‘quantum time-reversal’ to create sensors capable of incredibly deep measurements. That sounds like a lot of science jargon, but the gist is that this could potentially lead to a legitimate ‘dark matter detector,’ and that’s something that could revolutionize humanity’s understanding of literally everything. Up front: Physics is a moving... Read more ›

A new report finds that North American streets are getting deadlier for pedestrians. Research by Smart Growth America and the National Complete Streets Coalition reveals that, in 2020, over 6,500 people were struck and killed by cars while walking. That averages out to 18 people a day — and a deadly 4.5% increase from 2019. To make matters worse, the burden is not shared equally among pedestrians. Black and Native-American... Read more ›

Maxime Ingrao, security researcher at cybersecurity company Evina, has discovered a new malware family that can infect Android apps on Google Play. It’s named Autolycos — from the homonymous Greek mythological figure, known for his mastery in thievery and deceit. And that’s exactly what the malware does. Since June 2021, Ingrao has identified eight infected apps on Play Store — downloaded over three million times. Found new family of malware... Read more ›

Elon Musk’s itchy Twitter fingers have got him in trouble again. The latest backlash to the billionaire’s tweets has come from Twitter itself. After Musk revealed plans to terminate his $44 billion bid for the company, the social media platform sued the tycoon. The lawsuit accuses Musk of breaching the terms of the deal — and uses his tweets as evidence. The filing features no fewer than 13 tweets from... Read more ›

A study published earlier this week by Surge AI appears to lay bare one of the biggest problems plaguing the AI industry: bullshit, exploitative data-labeling practices. Last year, Google built a dataset called “GoEmotions.” It was billed as a “fine-grained emotion dataset” — basically a ready-to-train-on dataset for building AI that can recognize emotional sentiment in text. Per a Google blog post: In “GoEmotions: A Dataset of Fine-Grained Emotions”, we... Read more ›

In a world rife with opposing views, let’s draw attention to something we can all agree on: if I show you my pen, and then hide it behind my back, my pen still exists – even though you can’t see it anymore. We can all agree it still exists, and probably has the same shape and color it did before it went behind my back. This is just common sense.... Read more ›

Uber has had a controversial history since its founding in 2009, from violent conflicts among drivers to a secret software allegedly used to evade law enforcement. Now, a leak of over 124,000 documents dubbed the Uber files shows the extent to which the firm under co-founder and former CEO Travis Kalanick capitalized on that chaos to expand across 40 countries. My research explores the relationship between Uber and the state.... Read more ›

This week, a new report prepared for the UK Department for Transport found that electric vehicles are greener across their lifecycle than their gas-fueled internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts. Specifically, lifecycle modeling analysis found that a typical battery electric car is estimated to save up to 65% more greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than a conventional petrol car. But is the research a win for electric vehicle manufacturing or a starting... Read more ›

Whether we like it or not, ad subscriptions for Netflix are coming — and they’ll be powered by Microsoft. On Wednesday, the streaming platform named Microsoft as its global advertising technology and sales partner. This is what Peter Gregs, Netflix’s COO and CPO, has to say about it: Microsoft has the proven ability to support all our advertising needs as we work together to build a new ad-supported offering.

The first full-color images from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have been released — and they’re absolutely breathtaking. That’s because the telescope has yielded the deepest and sharpest infrared photos of the early universe to date. Webb is the largest and most powerful telescope ever launched into space — a promising successor to the famous Hubble Telescope. Here’s are the top three differences between the two telescopes, as per... Read more ›

Slack and Duolingo’s latest survey found that 57% of global respondents believe messages are “incomplete” without an emoji. But nearly the same percentage also admits that they’ve been caught unaware of specific emoji having multiple meanings. While it’s normally safe to misinterpret an emoji in your personal life, things can get much more complicated in the workplace. Think about it. Even emoji that seem pretty straightforward can often be misinterpreted,... Read more ›

A language model bigger than GPT-3 has arrived with a bold ambition: freeing AI from Big Tech’s clutches. Named BLOOM, the large language model (LLM) promises a similar performance to Silicon Valley’s leading systems — but with a radically different approach to access. While tech giants tend to keep their vaunted LLMs hidden from the public, BLOOM is available to anyone and free. It’s also multilingual — unlike Google’s LaMDA... Read more ›

The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently published the first round of winners in its six-year-long competition to determine which algorithms will protect our data from the threat of quantum decryption. Three of the four winning entries were designed in tandem with IBM. And the person who wrote the fourth has since been hired by Big Blue. I spoke to Scott Crowder, vice president of IBM Quantum,...

On Friday, NASA released the first full-color image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) — the largest and most powerful telescope ever launched into space. Thanks to its massive mirror and the ability to see at the infrared part of the spectrum, it can look back billions of years to capture the faint, red-shifted light from the very beginning of the universe. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, the... Read more ›

About eight or ten years ago, I was excited about smart fabric and connected textiles — especially about what the next generation could be once the materials evolved. Now, Microsoft’s got me excited again, and, well, skeptical. This week, the tech giant published a filed patent, called “Smart fabric that recognizes objects and touch input.” In other words, Microsoft is developing fabric that can recognize and identify objects nearby. So... Read more ›

The first full-color picture from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has just been released — and it’s inspiring. According to the space agency, it’s the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the early, distant universe to this date. Behold: Credit: ESA/NASA/STSCI Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, the picture shows the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago. As per NASA, the combined mass of... Read more ›

Interviews can be tricky. You always want to put your best foot forward. So, naturally, you prepare examples of your key skills, prepare some case studies to talk through, plan a nice outfit, and always be punctual. But sometimes one simple question can throw things completely off course. Often that question is, “Why did you leave your last job?” Of course, there are lots of reasons why you might be...
