Scientists have demonstrated the first human use of a wireless brain-computer interface, a potential breakthrough for people with paralysis. While traditional BCIs are tethered to users via cables, the new system — called BrainGate — replaces the cords with a small transmitter affixed atop a users’ head. The unit then connects to an electrode array implanted in the brain’s motor cortex. In a clinical trial, two participants with paralysis used... Read more ›

Yesterday, South Korean tech company LG announced that it’s stepping away from smartphone manufacturing. The firm was one of the first adopters of Android, and came out with a device running the Cupcake version in 2009. While LG made some solid phones over the years, its mounting losses forced the company to throw in the towel. We might not see any LG-branded phone in the future, so let’s take a... Read more ›

Tribute bands are great because even if you might not be able to see your favorite artists live, they recreate that magic to some extent. But what if that tribute band is an AI? Over The Bridge, a Canada-based non-profit that helps musicians with mental health, has started a new AI-powered project called Lost Tapes of the 27 Club. The organization is using machine learning to break down songs of... Read more ›

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Uber is thinking about stopping its drivers from being able to see the destinations and potential prices of ride requests. Yet again, it shows the ride-hailing Übermensch doesn’t really prioritize its drivers. It’s classic poor form from Uber, and I’m going to explain why. As the Chronicle points out, last year, Uber began letting its drivers see ride destinations and pricing information before accepting... Read more ›

Over the long weekend reports emerged of an alleged data breach, impacting half a billion Facebook users from 106 countries. And while this figure is staggering, there’s more to the story than 533 million sets of data. This breach once again highlights how many of the systems we use aren’t designed to adequately protect our information from cyber criminals. Nor is it always straightforward to figure out whether your data... Read more ›

One of the hardest processes for business leaders to control, encountered by every growing organization, is how to scale successfully. I’ve found this is even harder when scaling tech teams. Investing in the right places at the right time can be pivotal to the future of the business, as time and again these teams are the nucleus of value creation. I’ve heard it said — seen it attempted — that... Read more ›

Yahoo Answers is shutting down. Meh. I had forgotten about its existence up until today, when the site announced that it’s wrapping up all operations by May 4. On its FAQ page, Yahoo Answers said that if you want to post questions or answers, you have until 4/20 to do so. I think the admins couldn’t resist that joke. If you want to download your data, including your answers and... Read more ›

I’m not sure what podcasts Elon Musk listens to. But I hope he caught Kara Swisher’s “Sway” today, because it definitely concerns him. Apple CEO Tim Cook joined Swisher and the two discussed, among other things, the mysterious Apple Car. Details are scarce and I’ll be right up front: Cook didn’t give away anything big or make any firm statements. But he did dance around the topic enough to leave... Read more ›

For many people, one of the few good things about this pandemic has been the ability to work from home. The past year has shown both employees and employers that many jobs can be done effectively from home. In fact, the desire to keep work from home has been so strong that it appears a significant majority of people would rather turn down a $30,000 salary increase than lose the... Read more ›

I’ve reviewed two of JBL‘s hi-fi speakers before, the L82 and L100 Classic — speakers I enjoyed for their great sound and retro aesthetics. Over the past month or two, I’ve been able to test one of the company’s more forward-looking speakers, the $1,800 HDI-1600. After putting it through its paces in my living room and the test bench, it’s clear the HDI deserves its spot in the crowded $2,000... Read more ›

Emotion recognition AI is bunk. Don’t get me wrong, AI that recognizes human sentiment and emotion can be very useful. For example, it can help identify when drivers are falling asleep behind the wheel. But what it cannot do, is discern how a human being is actually feeling by the expression on their face. You don’t have to take my word for it, you can try it yourself here. Dovetail... Read more ›

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is set to launch later this year and the scientific community is buzzing with anticipation. Some scientists are excited at the prospect of ‘traveling through time’ to discover the origin story of our universe, while others hope it’ll help us connect the dots between classical and quantum physics. But at least one researcher believes the JWST could be a harbinger of ill tidings. In... Read more ›

TLDR: The 2021 Complete Microsoft Azure Certification Prep Bundle explores how to build and manage a complete Azure cloud network and earn key Azure credentials in the process. Artificial intelligence. For most, those words immediately conjure images that are straight out of science fiction. The HAL 9000. The Terminator. Replicants. For the masses, AI is as far removed from daily life as walking the dog is from a trip to... Read more ›

When I need a quick calculation, I fire up the Mac calculator, get it done, and don’t think about it much. But for complex calculations such as currency conversations or splitting bills, I reach for a couple of tools online. Last week, I stumbled upon this minimal calculator called Numi. The best feature about it is you can simply type calculations in sentences to get your results, like ’50 INR... Read more ›

One of the largest crypto exchanges in the US, Coinbase, announced last week that it’s planning to go public on April 14. The firm said that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has accepted its S-1 registration statement and it’ll have the ticker symbol of COIN, which is pretty cool. We’re happy to announce that earlier today, the SEC declared our S-1 registration statement effective and that we expect our... Read more ›
