Don’t worry, it doesn’t track sales or expose users. It helps scientists better understand how substance abusers feel and what terms they’re using to describe their experiences. The relationship between mental health and substance abuse is well-studied in clinical environments, but how users discuss and interact with one another in the real world remains beyond the realm of most scientific studies. According to the team’s paper: The team developed an AI to crawl three popular cryptomarkets where drugs are sold in order to determine nuanced information about what people were searching for and purchasing....
The Spanish city of Málaga has launched an autonomous electric bus service – the first project of its kind in Europe. Looping around an eight-kilometer stretch of the city six times a day, the 60-seater bus is equipped with sensors and cameras that use artificial intelligence to improve its decisions based on data recorded along the route. There is a driver at the wheel to take control if necessary, as Spanish law does not currently allow vehicles to operate without one....
Almost a decade ago, serial entrepreneur Jamie Siminoff couldn’t find any investors to bite on his latest big idea: a home doorbell with a camera to see who was on your doorstep. Kickstarter offered too many problems and Siminoff even famously struck out in front of the sharks on the hit show Shark Tank. No one can guarantee you a billion-dollar success story like Siminoff’s, but the power of Shopify as the world’s most dominant ecommerce platform is unquestioned....
That way, customers will be able to browse a vehicle’s features and functionalities from the comfort of their couch. The company promises to deliver full 360-degree exterior and interior views, as well as the opportunity to ask questions via text message or email. In partnership with media agency PHD, the virtual car showroom will house Skoda’s first fully electric vehicle, the ENYAQ iV. Skoda is lagging behind most automakers when it comes to EV production, so it makes sense to stir the hype of its first electric car with out-of-the-box marketing strategies....
Frustrated office bods and remote workers have taken to Twitter to bellyache about the disruption, although, at the time of writing, the Slack Status page is reporting all normal (albeit stating that they’re looking into an issue). — ??????? (@JessicaCregg) July 29, 2019 — Esther Zuckerman (@ezwrites) July 29, 2019 — Justin Duino (@jaduino) July 29, 2019 “some customers” = literally everyone “degrading performance” = it’s not working at all “having troubling accessing their workspaces” = lol you can’t even log in “we’ll let you know as soon as we have more news to share” = omg what’s happening https://t....
So…what have you been putting off? Time to settle it, once and for all. Whether it’s weeding the front yard, cleaning out the gutters or just whipping the mower over the lawn more regularly, there are always a handful of home maintenance projects on everyone’s to-do list. Of course, inside the house is really no different…but those tasks aren’t always quite as visible as overgrown landscaping. So while you’ve got some time indoors these days, this might be a good time to attack five important tasks you’ve probably been putting off....
After several months of global social distancing, it’s easy for this new way of interacting with the world (or non-interacting) to feel cold and antiseptic. But social distancing doesn’t have to signal the end of interpersonal connections and human warmth. Even if our use of masks and six feet of personal space extends indefinitely, most of us will still always feel compelled to reach out, learn more, and engage with the world around us....
In my new book based on the sociological research I conducted at three middle schools before the COVID-19 pandemic, I explain how even if all students could get the same hardware and software, it would fail to even the academic playing field. I saw many technologies used in unequal ways. And I observed teachers responding differently to students’ digital skills depending on the race, or ethnicity, and economic status of most of their students....
It found that the freight cycles deliver on average 1.61 times faster than those delivered by van. For the study, Active Travel Academy partnered with climate change charity Possible to compare GPS data taken by Pedal Me cargo bikes in London with vans used for parcel delivery on different routes. In the 98 days of work sampled, Pedal Me helped save a total of 3,896 Kg of CO2 and over 5....
He added companies like Google can’t just build technology without regulation: In 2018, Google published its AI principles outlining its moral values in the field. These guidelines were also formed after the company faced severe backlash for chasing a contract to develop AI tools for the US military. [Read: Alphabet joins the trillion-dollar club] As my colleague Tristan Greene had noted at that time, these principles talked little about being transparent or taking responsibility for models or algorithms the company developed....
According to a new report published by Washington, DC-based digital forensics firm Volexity, the community has been been at the receiving end of a large-scale surveillance operation via “strategically compromised websites” affecting mobile devices running not just iOS, but also Android. This indicates that the campaign targeting Uyghurs was far broader in scope than Google initially disclosed. “The systematic targeting and compromise websites that are run by and cater to Uyghurs make it clear they are the primary targets,” the report said....
Estonia’s capital Tallinn is introducing a digital transport model which it says can forecast and analyze the city’s mobility needs to improve urban planning. The tool includes data on 130,000 different road sections across the city which are constantly updated, and takes into account the movement of cars, public transport, lorries and pedestrians. It can also distinguish between 12 different types of road users or user groups, including students, workers and pensioners, and also takes into account complex movement patterns such as whether a person takes children to school on the way to work....
Tesla has been a vocal champion for the pure vision-based approach to autonomous driving, and in this year’s Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), its chief AI scientist Andrej Karpathy explained why. Speaking at CVPR 2021 Workshop on Autonomous Driving, Karpathy, who has been leading Tesla’s self-driving efforts in the past years, detailed how the company is developing deep learning systems that only need video input to make sense of the car’s surroundings....
It’s so keen in fact, that it’s not only banned the sale of new combustion engine vehicles, but is carrying out “behavioral science messaging trials” to find the best words and phrases to encourage drivers to make the switch. Before we get to the winning phrase, here’s a breakdown of what the UK government did. Starting on March 6, 2020, the UK government started displaying messages to people who had just renewed their vehicle tax online....
