These are all welcome improvements, and my colleague Callum, at... Read more ›

I’ve tested a fair few JBL bookshelf speakers here at TNW. The JBL L82 Classic paired a retro aesthetic with acoustics that emphasized an expansive soundstage, while the HDI-1600 was a more modern take on speaker design with a deep horn/waveguide for focused, sharp imaging. Well, what if you want both a retro design and a horn-type sound? JBL has a hi-fi speaker for you too: the $2,000 JBL 4309.... Read more ›

The Big Apple versus The Big Orange. The City of Dreams versus The City of Angels. I’m referring, of course, to the ongoing rivalry between New York City and Los Angeles. Hilarious “survey” videos and talk shows will give you one picture of the cities.

A Belgian artist has devised a novel way to catch misbehaving politicians: automatically tagging the rogues who use their phones at work. Dries Depoorter is using AI to monitor YouTube videos of Flemish government meetings. When the stream starts, his software uses machine learning to find phones in the footage, and facial recognition to identify politicians using the devices. Videos of the distracted lawmakers are then posted to the Twitter... Read more ›

Four days after the Jan. 6 insurrection on Capitol Hill, a member of the “Not My President” Facebook group wrote in a post, “remember, our founding fathers were seen as terrorist [sic] and traitors.” A fellow group member commented, “I’ll fight for what’s right, this corruption has to be stopped immediately.” Three months later, Facebook recommended the group to at least three people, despite Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s repeated promise...

Today’s world of software development is different from the proprietary software of years past. Open source enables speed, agility, and flexibility. APIs connect disparate processes into ecosystems of solutions that easily plug into each other and speak a shared language. While software development itself is now extremely collaborative, I’d say the process of hiring and upskilling talent in this world is just the opposite. It’s fragmented with siloed teams and...

Last week, GitHub launched a new AI-powered tool called Copilot that’s meant to help developers out by suggesting snippets of code automatically. The tool was developed in conjunction with OpenAI by training the system on publically available source code of different projects. On paper, this feels like any other AI project’s training method. But several people took to Twitter criticizing GitHub’s move and calling it a copyright violation. “I’m leaving... Read more ›
