  09-06-2020 20:44 via thenextweb.com
  
  Twitter is bringing back verification, that process that gives people those little blue check marks next to their names. Supposedly the new process will have clearer guidelines as to who or what qualifies for verification, as that was always somewhat obscure before. The info comes from the ever-reliable Jane Wong on Twitter, who showed screenshots of an updated settings menu that includes the words “request verification.” There’s a new section on the Account menu in the settin

  In a sickening abortion of leadership, impeached US President Donald Trump today issued a reprehensible attack on a US citizen who was assaulted by police during a peaceful protest.

Researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory made the discovery while developing neural networks that learn in a similar way as a human brain.  They found that the artificial brains became unstable after continuous periods of unsupervised dictionary training. This technique involves classifying objects without comparing them to existing examples,

  The COVID-19 pandemic, an unprecedented event in modern history, continues to leave its mark on societies and economies around the world. We have learned many lessons so far, the most poignant one being that we weren’t prepared for this. The impact on the global economy has been devastating. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) says the global economy will shrink by 3%, the worst decline since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Many advanced economies, including the US, UK, Canada,

  Microsoft’s AI news editor might be new to its job, but it’s already proven it can match its human rivals in one common skill: an inability to distinguish between people of color. According to The Guardian, Microsoft software used to replace the human journalists running news site MSN.com confused two mixed-race members of British pop group Little Mix. In an MSN.com article headlined “Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall says she faced horrific racism at school”, the software

In an age where manufacturers strive to see just how small they can make their products, the first thing you’ll probably notice about the Urbanears Rålis Bluetooth Speaker is that it’s…not small.

  Apple has updated Siri to support Black Lives Matter, an unequivocally good thing.

  Kepler-160, a Sun-like star 3,000 light years from Earth, is accompanied by at least a handful of planets, including one world that may look something like home. Roughly twice as large as Earth, but half as massive, the planet KOI-456.04 orbits its local star once every 378 days (just under two weeks longer than a year on Earth). A newly-discovered planet, KOI-456.04, may be almost twice as large as Earth, but with half the mass, potentially allowing it to hold onto an extensive atmosphere. Loc

• How to cancel the subscriptions you’ve purchased on your iPhone

  Apple offers you the ability to subscribe to multiple services through the App Store payment system, which is convenient. But suppose you want to cancel a subscription? Here’s how it works. When HBO Max first launched, its payment options were very finicky. For some reason, the only payment option that would work was via the app — and since I have an iPhone as my primary device, that meant the payment was through Apple. Thing is, one of my roommates already has HBO Now, and was gran

• Here’s 5 ways to use AI as a ‘bad apple detector’ for cops

  09-06-2020 00:46 via thenextweb.com
  
  When an apple begins to rot it creates a chemical called ethylene. If that apple happens to be in a barrel with a bunch of other apples, and the rotting causes its skin to break, the ethylene will immediately cause the other apples to start rotting. That’s why the proverb “one bad apple spoils the bunch” is meant as a warning. If you find one bad apple, all the apples around it are already rotting. Obviously, the smartest thing to do is to locate, isolate, and remove bad
