• Neuralink and Tesla have an AI problem that Elon’s money can’t solve

  07-12-2021 23:25
  
  Elon Musk’s problems are bigger and more important than yours. While most of us are consumed with our day-to-day activities, Musk has been anointed by a higher power to save us all from ourselves. He’s here to ensure we eliminate car accidents, make traffic a thing of the past, solve autism (his words, not mine), connect human brains to machines, fill the night sky with satellites so everyone can have internet access, and colonize Mars. He doesn’t exactly know how we

• NASA unveils new weapon in the war on asteroids: An Earth-loving algorithm

  07-12-2021 18:57
  
  It’s been 66 million long years since an asteroid erased the dinosaurs — and astronomers are getting antsy. In the last few months, they’ve warned that space rocks as big as the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building, and the Great Pyramid of Giza could all miss Earth by just millions of miles. In response, NASA is resorting to increasingly desperate measures. After simulating catastrophe impacts and slapping asteroids with spaceships, the agency on Monday unveiled its most o

• UK bets on hydrogen for net-zero aviation, but will its plan work?

  07-12-2021 18:40
  
  As part of UK’s FlyZero initiative, the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) unveiled on Monday a concept aircraft with ambitions as high as the skies  it’s gonna fly to. It’s a midsize commercial plane, able to carry 279 passengers, and designed for transatlantic flights with one refueling stop or no stop at all. Okay, nothing remarkable here.

• We were told our cars would ‘talk’ to our smart homes — what happened?

  07-12-2021 17:31
  
  When I first started writing about IoT in 2013, device makers promised a world where IoT would seamlessly facilitate a machine-to-machine connection between the smart gadgets in our lives, including our smart home. Made possible by machine learning, our devices would become instinctual in the way they spoke to each other and responsive — with no human interaction. One of the most significant examples touted at the time was car-to-smart home solutions. In this concept, our car and home wou

  Earlier this month, we saw Android issue an important update. The update enables Android users to use their mobile to lock, unlock, and even start a compatible car. The most interesting factor is the use of Ultra Wideband technology.  In reality, we’ve been able to start our cars remotely using products like Viper’s Smart Start since 2009. Apple tech could lock, unlock and start your car with an iPhone or Apple Watch using NFC since 2020. Teslas have had the

  07-12-2021 13:55
  
  Mark Zuckerberg might be looking out for a shiny future in the metaverse, but the company’s past mistakes continue to haunt him. Amidst the ongoing Rohingya genocide in Myanmar, a number of refugees from the community currently based in the US and UK have sued Meta to the tune of $150 billion, for failing to clamp down on hate speech against the minority group. Before we look at the allegations against the company, a quick recap of what happened. Background In 2017, the Burmese military f

• Does having an European HQ still matter in a ‘remote’ world? Absolutely

  07-12-2021 11:31
  
  Nearly every company has had to adjust to a distributed working model since the pandemic hit, with workers now dispersed to a wide range of locations and time zones. One unexpected benefit of this massive paradigm shift is that startups today are better prepared than before to adapt to the demands of becoming a global organization, including those that I invest into as a General Partner at Frontline X, a growth-stage fund for US companies expanding to Europe.

• How to make all your WhatsApp messages self-destruct by default

  07-12-2021 01:46
  
  It was just last year that WhatsApp added the option to let your messages disappear automatically, but the company has expanded the feature in a big way. Rather than forcing you to manually enable disappearing messages for each individual chat, WhatsApp now lets you default to disappearing messages for all new one-on-one chats. Moreover, the company is giving you a good deal more flexibility on timing. While previously you could only set messages to disappear after 7 days, now WhatsApp provides

• The Google Pixel’s new Snapchat shortcut kinda feels like bloatware

  07-12-2021 00:27
  
  There are two main reasons many Android enthusiasts have gravitated toward Google Pixel phones over the years. The first is probably the phone line’s standout cameras. The second is getting the ‘pure’ Android and Google services experience, free of the bloatware and unnecessary features found on so many other devices. That’s why Google’s latest Pixel feature drop, which adds a quick-access shortcut to Snapchat, has me scratching my head a little bit. It’s a s
