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.

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.

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...

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 ›

European cities are constantly making mobility greener, but there’s one issue they still haven’t tackled: making it gender-neutral. Yup, gender can be a big factor in mobility. It’s been shown that women and men have very different travel needs and patterns, but this hasn’t really been considered in mobility plans of city governments — until now. Cities in Europe now increasingly consider the gendered effects of transport policies and use... Read more ›
