Low-code software can bridge the gap between data scientists and business units

No one in the C-suite cares which coding language is chosen by engineers and data scientists — until the decision affects the bottom line. While many have made a case about why low-code is well-suited for the data scientist, I think there may be an equally strong case to be made for the benefits of the business. Data science is a collaborative art — one that requires a combination of... Read more ›

Google is building a new OS for its next ā€˜innovative AR device’

Some would say Google Glass was just ahead of its time.

In a Sunday interview with Axios on HBO, Bosworth was grilled about misinformation on social media. The Facebook veteran mounted a stern defense of his company. According to Bosworth, it’s not platforms that are responsible for... Read more ›

Despite GPU shipments increasing by 25.7% year-on-year, people are so desperate for the hardware they’re cracking open computers at electronics stores to get at them.

Not all black holes are black — and researchers found more than 75k of the brightest

When the most massive stars die, they collapse to form some of the densest objects known in the Universe: black holes.

Because of this, it’s impossible to directly imageblack holes, making them mysterious and quite perplexing. But our new research has road-tested a way to spot some of the most voracious black...

Looks are half of the appeal of the fashionable wearable, with a sleek frame and flowing lines. The whole setup weighs just 30... Read more ›

Apple’s new AirTags-detecting Android app can’t automatically tell you if you’ve been bugged by a rogue tracker

Update (14/12/2021): Apple has finally released an Android app called Tracker Detector, so you can find rouge AirTags around you, even if you don’t have an iPhone or an iPad. The app uses Apple’s Find My network to detect AirTags and compatible devices, but there’s no background scanning. That means you have to manually open the app and scan for AirTags around.

At least one LGBTQ+ youth between the ages of 13 and 24 attempts suicide every 45 seconds. That’s not the kind of problem you’d usually try to solve with artificial intelligence. Machines aren’t smart enough to take the mental health crisis head-on. Sure, AI-powered therapy bots can be very effective when it comes to augmenting human counseling sessions or reinforcing cognitive behavioral therapy instructions. But, when it comes to mental...
