We all have known people who go to extreme lengths to take selfies anywhere. But being adventurous for selfies could lead to fatal accidents, and to prevent that, an Indian district is strictly banning selfies — especially at tourist spots. The district of Dang, situated in the western state of Gujarat, is home to Saputara hills — a famous tourist attraction. According to a report from the Times of India,... Read more ›

We have the technology to send rovers to Mars and explore the deepest parts of the ocean, but it can still take days and multitudes of paperwork just to move to a new city, start your own business, or do any other task that requires multiple government. These are the small moments in life that turn well-adjusted individuals into the psychopaths of the future. While even the most traditional industries... Read more ›

Another day, another controversy surrounding Twitter India. This time, the company has goofed up the country’s map by showing the northern region of Jammu & Kashmir, as well as Ladakh, as a separate country altogether. The map first appeared on the company’s career page under the “Tweep Life” section, which describes the employee experience at Twitter. After severe criticism from users, the social network corrected the map. You can see... Read more ›

PastBook, a startup out of Amsterdam, is bringing its web-to-print photobook service to iOS. Thanks to some nifty AI integrations, it looks and feels a lot like something Google would make. And that’s a good thing. We’re closing in on a generation who’ve grown in up in a world where photography is almost exclusively a digital medium. But there’s no substitute for artful prints, family photo albums, and the aesthetics... Read more ›

Microsoft‘s Xbox Cloud Gaming, also known as xCloud, has slowly been expanding its reach, starting out as an Android app and recently making its way to PCs and Apple devices via the browser. So far, PC and iOS access has been limited to a few users with invites, but that’s changing today. All Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members can now stream games using practically any modern device. Microsoft says xCloud... Read more ›

It was just a few days ago that Microsoft announced Windows 11, but the company is now ready to let enthusiasts give the OS a test drive — including that fancy new design. Luckily, this build seems to be a fair bit more fleshed out than the sluggish, incomplete leak that made its way to the web prior to the official announcement. Here are some of the most notable updates... Read more ›

The World Health Organization today issued its first-ever report on the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare. The report is 165 pages cover-to-cover and it provides a summary assessment of the current state of AI in healthcare while also laying out several opportunities and challenges. Most of what the report covers boils down to six “guiding principles for [AI’s] design and use.” Per a WHO blog post, these include: Protecting... Read more ›

Deep neural networks have gained fame for their capability to process visual information. And in the past few years, they have become a key component of many computer vision applications. Among the key problems neural networks can solve is detecting and localizing objects in images. Object detection is used in many different domains, including autonomous driving, video surveillance, and healthcare. In this post, I will briefly review the deep learning... Read more ›

Have you heard? Apple‘s considering making iPads with bigger screens. The rumor comes from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who wrote about it in his Power On newsletter. Currently, the largest iPad the company sells is the 12.9-inch Pro, a goddamn beautiful machine with a gorgeous new mini-LED screen known as the Liquid Retina XDR. In terms of portable devices, the 16-inch MacBook is the largest screen Apple makes. I’d assume the... Read more ›

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. To you, the book is made up of a range of sensory appearances. But you also expect the book has its own independent existence behind those appearances. So when you put... Read more ›

TLDR: The SyncPen 2 Smart Pen and Notebook lets you write handwritten notes and doodles, save them as digital files, or convert handwriting into editable text. Notetaking is not done with a pair of thumbs. Sure, you can open up the Notes app on your phone and string a couple of words together for safekeeping. But honest-to-goodness notetaking really happens the old fashioned way — with a pad of paper... Read more ›

TLDR: While big cloud storage spaces usually cost hundreds per month, Polar Backup is offering unlimited cloud storage for a year at over 60 percent off its regular price. That blast of realization that a file you wanted to keep is gone from your system is a soul-crushing moment. And while it’s easy to accidentally throw something away absent-mindedly, it isn’t always operator error at fault. Over 140,000 hard drives... Read more ›

All hail the French Revo… no, sorry, “Renaulution!” That’s what the Renault Group is calling its electric vehicle strengthening strategy, which has nothing to do with the “liberty, equality, fraternity” motto, but with the design and production of EV batteries. Today, the Group announced two major partnerships that will significantly enhance its efficiency and competitiveness in the EV market. Envision AESC Firstly, the Renault Group is teaming up with Chinese... Read more ›

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 ›

Normal human beings think of running, going to the gym, and putting a cap on those beer bottles when it comes to losing weight. But scientists are thinking about this whole thing differently. They want you to shut your trap, so you can stop hogging on those fries — literally. A bunch of researchers from the University of Otago and the UK have teamed up to come up with a... Read more ›

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. On Friday June 25, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) released its eagerly awaited unclassified intelligence report, titled “Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena”. The document is a brief nine-page version... Read more ›

Friends, lovers, and enemies, today is a special day: Elon Musk is turning 50. Yes, everyone’s favorite insanely rich manchild is now half a century old. Clap. I SAID CLAP. To put this into some context, Musk is now double the average life expectancy of a man in 18th century Prussia. And, lord, he’s used that time well, hasn’t he? I mean, have you checked out his Twitter? Inspirational stuff... Read more ›

The iPhone 12 series had its share of camera improvements, including ProRAW and a LiDAR sensor for Pro models. However, the overall imaging quality didn’t see as much of an improvement as in the iPhone 11 over the iPhone Xs. This year, Apple is planning to switch things up with its camera set up and introduce autofocus in the ultra-wide-angle sensor. According to renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the company...

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 ›

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 ›
