• This teensy Chinese EV outsold Tesla last month — and it’s cheaper than some ebikes

  25-02-2021 15:10 via thenextweb.com
  
  Over in the US, General Motors has made its statement of intent, pledging to go electric and remove tail-pipe emissions from its light passenger vehicles by 2035. It looks like GM still has a way to go before we see its electric dreams realized on English-speaking shores. However, if we turn our gaze to China, GM is already helping to produce electric vehicles, and it turns out, the fruit of its labor is outselling Tesla, by a long way — last month at least. Let me introduce you to the Wu

  25-02-2021 11:56 via thenextweb.com
  
  Is Clubhouse all you hear about recently? The pandemic gave us a new way to communicate, and everybody seems to be crazy into it. To me, Clubhouse feels like LinkedIn mixed with Facebook and Skype without those irritating algorithms. But why did it get so hot so fast? Insider’s Shona Ghosh says “It’s insider-y vibe fuels desperation rather than cool,” and I second it. Its core strength is the need not to miss out on great opportunities.

• NASA’s TESS found 3 exoplanets orbiting a young sun-like star

  25-02-2021 10:14 via thenextweb.com
  
  Roughly 400 light years from Earth, a young star named TOI 451 travels within a river of stars. An international team of astronomers has now found three previously unknown exoplanets orbiting that star. The Pisces-Eridanus stream of stars was only recently discovered — at the end of 2018 — despite stretching across one-third of the sky. Stars within this stream average only around 3% of the age of our own solar system. “This system checks a lot of boxes for astronomers. I

In just the last few years, it’s brought us virtual assistants that understand language, autonomous vehicles, new drug discoveries, AI-based triage for medical scans, handwriting recognition and more.  One thing that machine learning shouldn’t be changing is the climate.  The issue relates to how machine learning is developed.

  A lot of my colleagues are serious gamers, but I’m a basic human who enjoys a lot of silly arcade games. I was happy when Google‘s Area 120 team announced GameSnacks last year— a project to bring lightweight HTML5 games to low-powered Android devices. This was a way for many users with low connectivity to enjoy some casual games. At the time of launch, you could either go to the project’s site to play these games, or Indonesia’s GoJek app where it was integrat

• EVs will get hit by new taxes, and I’m not sure what we can do about it

  24-02-2021 13:20 via thenextweb.com

This isn’t surprising when we consider that more than 50% of petrol’s cost is duty an
