Does a chair exist if nobody sits on it? Relational quantum mechanics says ‘NO!’

Imagine you sit down and pick up your favorite book. You look at the image on the front cover, run your fingers across the smooth book sleeve, and smell that familiar book smell as you flick through the pages.

Reinforcement learning could be the link between AI and human-level intelligence

Last week, I wrote an analysis of “Reward Is Enough,” a paper by scientists at DeepMind. As the title suggests, the researchers hypothesize that the right reward is all you need to create the abilities associated with intelligence, such as perception, motor functions, and language. This is in contrast with AI systems that try to replicate specific functions of natural intelligence such as classifying images, navigating physical environments, or completing... Read more

This gadget ‘helps’ you lose weight by wiring your jaw shut

Pentagon report says UFOs can’t be explained, so what now?

A report from the US task force dedicated to investigating UFOs — or, in the official jargon, UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) — has neither confirmed nor rejected the idea such sightings could indicate alien visits to Earth.

Fiido D11 review: This folding ebike has good looks, low weight, and solid range

Electric bikes are my favorite way of getting around New York City, and they’re even more convenient when they can fold. Bikes can cut through traffic, the motor makes it easier to keep up with cars without sweating, and the ability to fold allows you to take the bike indoors, on a cab, or on public transportation. Unfortunately, the folding design often means you get a wimpy battery, a heavy... Read more

How a 70s schoolteacher invented C, one of the most influential coding languages

If you thought that C is the kind of language that only 60-year-old white men know, think again. Yeah, it’s the dinosaur among today’s programming languages. But it’s still alive and kicking in more areas than you’d think. For one, Unix is written in C. Originally written in assembly, the Unix kernel was rewritten in C back in 1973. This made Unix a lot more portable across different machines, and... Read more

Venus’ massively cracked surface suggests it experiences quakes — and could be active

The big idea Much of the brittle, upper crust of Venus is broken into fragments that jostle and move – and the slow churning of Venus’ mantle beneath the surface might be responsible. My colleagues and I arrived at this finding using decades-old radar data to explore how the surface of Venus interacts with the interior of the planet. We describe it in a new study published in the Proceedings... Read more

‘Scambaiting’ is racist and dangerous, so let’s stop celebrating it

Fraud has reached “epidemic” levels in the UK over the past 12 months, costing up to £190 billion a year and constituting what the Royal United Services Institute has called a “national security threat” in need of an urgent institutional response. But it’s clear that the police are struggling to keep pace with fraudsters. A 2018 Which? report found that an estimated 96% of fraud cases reported to Action Fraud... Read more
