Google has launched a new AI tool that lets you listen to the sounds that famed artist Vassily Kandinsky may have heard as he painted. The experiment explores the artist’s synesthesia, a neurological condition that causes one sense to trigger another. In Kandinsky’s case, he’d see colors and shape when he heard music, and hear music when he painted. The abstract art pioneer tried to evoke the sensation through his... Read more ›

Arachnophobes often cite spiders’ unpredictable movement as the basis of their fear, pointing out how each spindly leg seems to lift, flex, and probe with a menacing degree of autonomy. Perhaps unsettlingly, research conducted by my colleagues and I has revealed that each one of a spider’s legs does indeed enjoy a certain independence from the brain – especially in the complex task of web-building. Our study has shown that... Read more ›

Nothing in life comes for free. Except nobody seems to have told the highland nation of Scotland that. According to figures from UK EV charging infrastructure trackers Zap-Map, Scotland has the most free electric car chargers in the UK… and by a long stretch too. Think of it like this: Scotland has a population of about 5.5 million, the south east of England has a population of about 9 million.... Read more ›

The inherent nature of working in public relations is communicating with the public… hence the term “public.” However, in a strange twist of events, we’re sometimes asked not to communicate (but to also communicate). That can be challenging, but it’s not without merit. This paradox comes into being when there are projects that must remain a secret until launch. The trick here is creating a public relations plan that maintains... Read more ›

I have been living the life of a fool. If I needed to copy and paste something between my iPhone and Mac, I would either email it to myself or use a cloud-synced note app like Evernote. Today though, everything changed: because I discovered there’s an in-built way to copy and paste between Apple devices. This morning I needed to move a bit of text from phone to my computer....

It’s whipping up such a storm that Facebook has decided to make its own version. According to a report from The New York Times, the social network is experimenting with building an audio product that’s akin to Clubhouse. This development comes days after Mark... Read more ›

At first glance, it’s easy to dismiss growth hacking as really just another term for more traditional marketing efforts.

Following Zuckerberg’s promise that Facebook would show less political content in the future, the company has begun testing just that. In a blog post today, the company announced it would begin to “reduce the distribution of political content in News Feed for a small percentage of people in Canada, Brazil, and Indonesia this week,” with the US to follow “in the coming weeks.” The company says it’s using these first...

When Twitter said it had banned Trump, some wondered how permanent the move really was. After all, Twitter long used the justification of “public intestest” when explaining why the president was allowed to remain on the platform after saying things that would get other users banned. Following the Capitol riot, and as Trump would no longer be president just a few days following the ban, the public interest excuse didn’t... Read more ›

And you shall know them by the pollution in their skies: A team of NASA-funded researchers may have developed a new method for sussing out intelligent extraterrestrial life. TL;DR: It’s nitrogen-dioxide. Up front: Finding evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life in an infinite universe is, perhaps, the most monumental undertaking a scientist can endeavor to. In order to narrow the field down from trillions of stars, we need search filters. The... Read more ›

Scientists from the University of Barcelona have developed an AI app called Marlit that detects floating marine litter in aerial photos. The system could help clean up the 8 million tons of plastic trash that enter our oceans every year, harming marine species, human health, tourism, and the climate. The litter is typically assessed by direct observations from boats and planes. But the vast ocean areas and volumes of data... Read more ›

India banned TikTok and 59 other Chinese apps last year. This gave birth to a bunch of other short video apps that have expanded rapidly and receive millions of hits every day. But there’s something else that gained a ton of traffic after the TikTok ban: a picture of a flower on Wikimedia. This image picture received more than 75 million daily hits — almost 20% of Wikimedia’s requests for... Read more ›

I’m an absolute sucker for cute, but ultimately useless, bits of software. With this in mind, may I introduce you to Bird Folder, a delightful macOS extension that names new folders after birds.
