  26-08-2021 19:57 via thenextweb.com

And the point is to flip a common paradigm on its head in order to discover new methods of training AI. Up front: Most research in the pursuit-evasion genre of AI and game theory involves teaching machines to explore spaces. Since m

• These open-ear headphones deliver premium sound while never compromising your safety

  26-08-2021 16:00 via thenextweb.com
  
  TLDR: The Allegro Directional Audio Open-Ear Headphones wrap around the ears, but never block sound, all while serving up brilliant audio quality. Headphones used to be crafted almost specifically to block out the world. Unfortunately, we discovered that blissful audio cocoon can lead to some tragic conclusions. That bubble has now metastasized into twalking, with pedestrians wearing headphones or earbuds, eyes locked on smartphone screens, shockingly unaware of what’s happening around th

While it was mostly about conceptual ideas and providing a “sensor platform” to developers, we never got to hear more about it — until now. A new product manual, first spotted by Protocol, describes what this prototype device might look like and what it’s meant to do. The hardware is codenamed Gemini EVT (engineering valuation test), and it doesn’t have an in-bu

  26-08-2021 02:57 via thenextweb.com
  
  I read several thousand pages of books every year, but I’m not the type of person who feels attached to physical books. I’ve been fully immersed in Amazon’s Kindle ecosystem for years now, sometimes reading on my phone, sometimes on my laptop, and sometimes listening through Audible. Getting an e-reader that wasn’t a Kindle never really occurred to me. And then I tried the Boox Note Air. It does almost everything a Kindle Oasis does, but it also supports a surprisingly u
