Why Zelenskyy’s ‘selfie videos’ are helping Ukraine win the PR war against Russia

It seems straight out of an action movie: As the capital city becomes a war zone, the defiant president looks into the camera and delivers a clear and compelling message: “I am here. We will not lay down any weapons.” That’s exactly what Ukrainian President and onetime actor Volodymyr Zelenskyy did on Feb. 25, 2022, in a selfie-style video viewed 3 million times within an hour – part of an...

Polestar’s new concept car has a companion drone to film your rides

You could take a photo or video with your phone, but what... Read more â€ș

Stop obsessing over Elizabeth Holmes’ voice — it’s sexist

There is a scene in Hulu’s new series, “The Dropout,” where Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, wearing a white blouse, stands in front of a mirror and practices saying, “This is an inspiring step forward.” With each iteration, her voice deepens. As the world has learned about Theranos’ web of deception – whether through John Carreyrou’s bestselling book, “Bad Blood,” Apple’s podcast series “The Dropout” or Hulu’s streaming series of the...

Future cities could be 3D printed — and greener

3D printed concrete may lead to a shift in architecture and construction. Because it can be used to produce new shapes and forms that current technologies struggle with, it may change the centuries-old processes and procedures that are still used to construct buildings, resulting in lower costs and saved time. However, concrete has a significant environmental impact. Vast quantities of natural sand are currently used to meet the world’s insatiable... Read more â€ș

Are ebikes good for your health? Hell yeah they are

Whenever I mention ebikes to the kind of people who wear a lot of lycra, the most common response is an eye roll. They might not say it, but they equate a motor-assisted bike with “cheating.” In other words, it’s not proper exercise. But if we look at an ebike in terms of fitness compared to a regular bike, is it cheating? Can it get you — and keep —... Read more â€ș

SWIFT’s Russia ban is symbolic — and that’s why it’s so important

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is horrifying. Western leaders, fearing a broader war, are responding primarily with economic sanctions. A prominent economic sanction has been Russia’s exclusion from the international payments messaging system SWIFT, presented as a powerful means of undermining its economy. But for a payments expert such as myself, this is something of a myth. Yes, SWIFT messaging systems are a critical part of international economic activity. They provide... Read more â€ș

Tech loves to talk ‘diversity,’ but some firms are actually moving backwards

The U.S.tech sector is growing 10 times faster and has wages twice as high as the rest of the economy. This industry also wins the race for high profits and stock returns. At the same time, the tech sector’s professional, managerial and executive labor forces are overwhelmingly white and male. It is not surprising, then, that the field is under a great deal of pressure to diversify its labor force.... Read more â€ș

Secretive algorithm will now determine Uber driver pay in many cities

By Dara Kerr Uber has quietly changed the way it pays drivers in several major cities across the U.S., using a new feature it’s calling “Upfront Fares.” Instead of paying drivers for trips based on just time and distance, it’s now using an algorithm “based on several factors” to calculate the fare. What all of those factors are is unclear. Uber has long used an upfront pricing algorithm to determine... Read more â€ș

Earlier this month, hundreds of motorists were stuck in a winter storm on Interstate 95 in Virginia, U.S., some without food or water for more than 24 hours.

Reinforcement learning: How rewards create intelligent machines

In June 2021, scientists at the AI lab DeepMind made a controversial claim. The researchers suggested that we could reach artificial general intelligence (AGI) using one single approach: reinforcement learning. They titled their paper on the subject: “Reward is Enough.” The team argued that AGI could emerge through an incentive mechanism known as a reward function. “We hypothesize that intelligence, and its associated abilities, can be understood as subserving the...

A rocket crashing into the moon is a good thing for physics

On March 4, 2022, a lonely, spent rocket booster will smack into the surface of the Moon at nearly 6,000 mph. Once the dust has settled, NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will move into position to get an up-close view of the smoldering crater and hopefully shed some light on the mysterious physics of planetary impacts. As a planetary scientist who studies the Moon, I view this unplanned impact as an... Read more â€ș

A spate of cyber attacks has affected Ukraine’s digital systems since Russia’s invasion began.

Last week Ukraine called on its citizens to take to their keyboards and defend the country against Russia’s cyber threat. At the same time, a campaign was underway among the hacktivist collective Anonymous, calling on its global army... Read more â€ș
