Data nerds, computer geeks, science morons, Iâm speaking to you. Itâs the ever-prevailing clichĂ©: the antisocial introverts who spend their days hacking away at some nerdy project that nobody understands. The freaks that push the frontiers of tech every day but still canât keep up with the Kardashians. The clichĂ© goes further. If techies lack basic human skills like communicating effectively or cracking a funny joke, then they wonât make... Read more âș

We rely on experts all the time. If you need financial advice, you ask an expert. If you are sick, you visit a doctor, and as a juror you may listen to an expert witness. In the future, however, artificial intelligence (AI) might replace many of these people. In forensic science, the expert witness plays a vital role. Lawyers seek them out for their analysis and opinion on specialist evidence.... Read more âș

Super Mario 64 is the first videogame I can remember really playing seriously, and at the time its 3D world and movement was a technological marvel. Now you can play one of Nintendoâs best from pretty much any modern Bowser browser â as if it were something as basic as Pong or Tetris. Thatâs technology for you. Someone managed to stick what appears to be a complete version of Mario... Read more âș

Soulja Boy made a stunning announcement to his legions of adoring fans on Wednesday. âI am now the owner of Atari,â the rapper revealed on Instagram.

Letâs just dive right in. Tesla held its much-ballyhooed âAI Dayâ yesterday which, as Shiftâs Cate Lawrence pointed out earlier, was little more than a job fair. There were, however, a couple of interesting reveals. The good news was the companyâs new AI chips. According to the supposed specifications and obligatory hyperbole, Teslaâs AI chips will be the worldâs most powerful. Itâs at least plausible that the AI team at... Read more âș

Facebookâs âspecial announcementâ of a new VR meeting app was curiously timed. It arrived on the same day that the Federal Trade Commission made a fresh attempt to force the company to sell Instagram and WhatsApp. The FTC filed an antitrust complaint on Thursday that alleges Facebook used an illegal buy-or-bury scheme to maintain its market dominance. The US competition regulator argues that Facebook repeatedly failed to develop meaningful innovations... Read more âș

Smartphones always seem to run out of juice at the worst time. Luckily though, thereâs an easy fix: use an age-old body modification scarring ritual to sear a permanent information conduit into your soft skin. Or at least thatâs what one young Italian dude seems to believe. Earlier this week, tattoo artist Gabriele Pellerone tattooed a QR code of the clientâs official EU covid certificate on their upper arm, Il... Read more âș

Remember that time when you wanted to share a tweet with two people and accidentally created a group? Yep. To share a tweet with two people, you had to share with one of them first, and repeat the process again. It was annoying. Thankfully, the social network is fixing it with a new DM feature. The firm said last night that itâs rolling out a new feature to its iOS... Read more âș

Over the past year, weâve seen how dramatically misinformation can impact the lives of people, communities and entire countries. In a bid to better understand how misinformation spreads online, Twitter has started an experimental trial in Australia, the United States and South Korea, allowing users to flag content they deem misleading. Users in these countries can now flag tweets as misinformation through the same process by which other harmful content... Read more âș

On Thursday Tesla held Tesla AI day. If you were looking for a great big product showcase by the automaker, youâd be left disappointed. Beyond anything else, it was a job fair. Remember those days where you turn up to some event, put on a nametag, and talk to people sitting at tables about why you should work for their company? Well, Tesla did just this following a bunch of... Read more âș

Swiss researchers at the University of Applied Sciences GraubĂŒnden this week claimed a new world record for calculating the number of digits of pi â a staggering 62.8 trillion figures. By my estimate, if these digits were printed out they would fill every book in the British Library ten times over. The researchersâ feat of arithmetic took 108 days and 9 hours to complete, and dwarfs the previous record of... Read more âș

One of the hottest trends in the startup ecosystem is product-led growth (PLG). The PLG approach to introducing a solution to the market is focused on the end-user. Initially, many B2B founders viewed PLG as more of a go-to-market motion where providing a freemium offering would enable a company to be product-led. However, this is not enough. End-users arenât simply the people who use the product and decide whether to... Read more âș

Elon Musk has done it again! The âTechnokingâ of Tesla has announced another product that billionaires fantasize about: humanoids. At the companyâs AI day, he revealed that the car-making firm is making a prototype humanoid, and itâll be called Tesla Bot â the internal codename of the bot will be Optimus. Shocking. Musk claimed that Tesla is âarguably the biggest robotics companyâ because its cars are âsemi-sentient robots on wheels.â... Read more âș

A team of scientists in Beijing have discovered novel inferences concerning the learned fear response in humans. Relax, this is a good thing. Learned fear is a condition that scientists donât know a whole lot about. The human brain is mysterious and the fear response is believed to occur in parts of if that are incredibly difficult to scan with non-invasive measuring devices. Up front: You canât just slap an...

As with Tumblr, Iâve never really used OnlyFans. But you donât have to be on the platforms to recognize the obvious thing both apps have in common: banning porn is a dumb idea. OnlyFans today announced (via Bloomberg) that it will bar creators from posting sexually explicit content starting in October. While some nude photos and videos will still be allowed, the move comes off as misguided at best and... Read more âș

One of the most iconic scenes of the Star Wars film franchise is the moment lovable droid R2D2 rolls up to Obi Wan Kenobi and offers him a virtual reality helmet. Oh you donât remember that scene? Itâs the one where Kenobi fiddles with the straps of his headset for three full minutes on screen before mumbling âhang on, itâs blurry. Wait. What am I supposed to be seeing? Is... Read more âș
