Spotify will now notify you immediately about new releases

When music streaming apps started offering their services in India, Rdio (RIP) was my top choice because it offered a list of new releases with multiple filters. This helped me keep track of new albums from artists that I loved. Now, Spotify is rolling out a similar feature that will help you keep track of all the new releases from your favorite artists. This feature, called What’s New, is accessible... Read more

The 8 best and worst decisions I made in my first year as a CMO

On average, CMOs have 40 months to prove their effectiveness. When it comes to startups, the figure is half that: you either bring explosive growth or get replaced. CMOs in SaaS companies must understand both the market and the audience, shape positioning, and support unit economics. They are also responsible for brand awareness, acquisition and retention, product launches, customer loyalty, and about a million other things. The story of Admixer’s... Read more

Intel will shake chips up by building Qualcomm’s future processors

I’ve always thought of Qualcomm as one of Intel‘s biggest rivals, what with its dominance of the non-Apple mobile market and its increasing presence in the PC space. But as it turns out, the companies are teaming up in a major new partnership for the years to come: Intel will manufacture future Qualcomm chips.

Lying, corrupt, anti-American cops are running amok with AI

Hundreds of thousands of law enforcement agents in the US have the authority to use blackbox AI to conduct unethical surveillance, generate evidence, and circumvent our Fourth Amendment protections. And there’s little reason to believe anyone’s going to do anything about it. The problem is that blackbox AI systems are a goldmine for startups, big tech, and politicians. And, since the general public is ignorant about what they do or... Read more

Watch a basketball robot show NBA stars how to shot

As the US men’s basketball team limped to a first Olympics loss since 2004, a robot gave them a lesson in elite-level shooting. The six-foot-ten machine rolled onto the court during half-time of the US‘ defeat to France and started swishing jump shots like a red-hot Steph Curry. Known as CUE, the droid was developed by Toyota engineers as a demonstration of machine learning. The bot uses inbuilt sensors and... Read more

Leak: Microsoft’s Surface Duo 2 is shaping up to be a phone you might actually want

Microsoft’s Surface Duo was an awesome idea with unfortunate execution. I can personally see the use for a dual-screen phone without the durability concerns of a flexible screen, but reviewers found the device to be too weak, too expensive, and too buggy at launch to be worth recommending to most people. But perhaps one of its biggest sins was the lack of a competitive camera. There was no camera on... Read more

What is entanglement in quantum physics? We’ll explain in under 5 minutes

Quantum computers, quantum cryptography, and quantum (insert name here) are often in the news these days.

Einstein called entanglement “spooky action at a distance,” a name that has stuck and become increasingly popular. Beyond just building better quantum computers, understanding and harnessing entanglement is also useful in other ways. For example,... Read more

Sexual predators are targeting vulnerable teens through online ‘anorexia coaching’

There’s no shortage of people online looking to exploit and manipulate the vulnerable among us. One such group is anorexia coaches, or “anacoaches”. They are typically middle-aged, male sexual predators who go online to find impressionable young people to exploit under the guise of providing weight-loss “coaching”. I have been researching how anacoaches operate. I’ve found they are facilitated by flaws within social media algorithms, as well as large numbers... Read more

Now, for the first time, we have been able to view the interior of one, thanks to NASA’s Mars InSight probe. The probe, which landed in 2018, is equipped with a solar-powered lander bristling with equipment, including a seismometer (a very sensitive vibration detector).... Read more
