The PocketGuitar is the way to becoming a guitar god even when you don’t have your guitar

TLDR: The PocketGuitar Bluetooth-Enabled AI Guitar is like playing and practicing on a real guitar
but without the guitar. If you’re ready to learn to play the guitar, you know it won’t just happen overnight. In fact, it won’t just happen, period. It’ll only happen with lots and lots and lots of hard work. Experts suggest young players practice a bare minimum of 15 minutes each day. Hub Guitar estimates that... Read more â€ș

EVs can tow too! Here’s how much it’ll affect your range though

You don’t see many electric cars towing caravans, do you? On one hand, EVs make great towing machines. They can be quite weighty, so stability is never an issue. They have tonnes of torque, so pulling a load is never a struggle. But there’s one issue, range. Attaching a trailer that’s heavy and ruins the car’s aerodynamics can have a dramatic impact on how far you can actually drive. But... Read more â€ș

Can we teach AI how to code? Welcome to IBM’s Project CodeNet

IBM’s AI research division has released a 14-million-sample dataset to develop machine learning models that can help in programming tasks. Called Project CodeNet, the dataset takes its name after ImageNet, the famous repository of labeled photos that triggered a revolution in computer vision and deep learning. While there’s a scant chance that machine learning models built on the CodeNet dataset will make human programmers redundant, there’s reason to be hopeful... Read more â€ș

Google Photos’ unlimited storage is ending on June 1— what can you do about it?

Google Photos‘ unlimited storage plan for your “high-quality” photos is ending next month. Last November, the company made the announcement without specifying any reason like if it’s running out of server space, or just want to sell you a Google One subscription for extra storage. You might be angry that Google is killing off another super handy feature. But there are no free lunches. So what are your options? We’ll... Read more â€ș

Why on earth do test cars have those weird-looking wraps?

Welcome to SHIFT Basics, a collection of tips, explainers, guides, and advice to keep you up to speed with mobility tech. Whenever a new model hits the road for testing, car nerds are always keen to get a first look. But as much as you might want to, automakers sure don’t want you to see everything.

At last! Google’s Nest Thermostat will play nicely with Siri and Alexa

I love my cute lil’ Nest Thermostat — it makes my home feel like a spaceship. But there’s one thing that’s stopped me from feeling total futuristic vibes: its integration with other voice-activated assistants. Yeah, the Nest works wonderfully with Google Home, but Apple’s Siri or Amazon’s Alexa? You’d have more luck speaking to a potato. But this might change very soon. In a blog post published this week, Google... Read more â€ș

China landed its Mars rover on the first try — here’s what’s next

Planetary scientist Roberto Orosei told Nature China is “doing in a single go what NASA took decades to do”, while astrophysicist Jonathon McDowell... Read more â€ș

Facebook said it would stop recommending anti-vaccine groups. It didn’t.

Facebook broadcast a sweeping pledge in a Feb. 8 blog post: It would remove false claims about vaccines from its platform. The declaration followed a series of promises over the preceding months to curb bogus health information on its site, particularly misinformation surrounding the pandemic. This included a commitment in September to stop recommending “health groups” in order to halt the practice of people turning to fellow Facebook users instead... Read more â€ș

New superstring theory says black holes may be portals to other universes

We don’t know very much about our universe. We’re fairly certain it exists, but we don’t know how it got here, how long it’s been here, or how big it is. Heck, we don’t even know if our universe is unique. Ever since Albert Einstein came up with the theory of relativity and other scientists realized that classical physics and quantum mechanics don’t really line up, we’ve been trying to...

TNW spoke to Intel research scientist Stephen Richter to find out more about their technique — and the potential to productionize the method. The cornerstone of the... Read more â€ș

Scientists: NASA better hurry up and put people on the Moon, bad space weather’s coming

Outer space is so often called a “cold void” that it’s easy to forget there’s weather up there too. You won’t see any thunderstorms or tornadoes in space, but our sun’s been cycling through various “seasons” for millions of years and scientists think they’ve figured out how to predict “extreme” weather events in our neck of the universe. A team of researchers from the University of Reading today published research... Read more â€ș

Here’s how Apple can improve the AirPods Max — you’re welcome, Tim

Apple’s AirPods Max have really grown on me. When they were announced at the end of last year, I was broadly sceptical. Yes, I thought they’d be good, but in no way would be worth their $550 price tag. As some nobody with a guitar once said though, “times are a-changin’.” While I still wouldn’t put the AirPods Max on the top of my over-ear Bluetooth headphone tree (currently, that... Read more â€ș
