According to performance art group Project Veritas, CNN employee Cary Poarch came forward earlier this year with hundreds of hours of video he secretly recorded inside the network. This whistle-blower, we’re to believe, began working at CNN two years ago in an idealistic time when he had no clue the network was a left-leaning outlet. He claims getting the job was “a dream come true.” Then he found out that some of the employees, including the network President, didn’t like Trump....

— Larry Hryb (@majornelson) February 12, 2020 The news comes after months of Project xCloud being available on Android and other devices. Microsoft is currently reaching out to those who registered for xCloud, who can then join the preview app via Apple’s Testflight program. All you need is a Microsoft account, an iPhone or iPad running iOS 13, and a Bluetooth-enabled Xbox controller (though Microsoft also encourages everyone to get its branded controller clips too)....

The big G told 9to5Google that the Apple TV app is now available for the entire “Android TV OS ecosystem” starting today. That includes streaming devices such as the Mi TV Stick and Box and the TiVO Stream 4K. This revelation came after Nvidia announced at the Computex virtual conference this week that the Apple TVapp was arriving to its Shield TV streaming box. An executive from Xiaomi India confirmed that the app is coming to its entire lineup of TVs....

Well, it finally happened. After years of knocking on the door, Python is now the world’s most popular programming language. Dutch firm Tiobe has charted the popularity of all coding disciplines for over 20 years, featuring two decades of Java and C controlling the top of the survey leaderboard. But after years of steady ascension, Python finally toppled the king this month, earning the top spot in the Tiobe rankings....

Luckily, the public have spoken and Musk has promised to step down after embarrassingly being voted out in his own poll. But what can we learn from this and what kind of leader does Twitter need moving forward? Twitter might instead benefit from a more thoughtful and caring approach to leadership. Research shows compassionate leaders boost staff morale and productivity, not to mention projecting a more positive image of an organisation and its brand to the world....

The big idea here is real-time speech synthesis for vocal prosthesis. But the implications could go much further. Up front: Birdsong is a complex form of communication that involves rhythm, pitch, and, most importantly, learned behaviors. According to the researchers, teaching an AI to understand these songs is a valuable step in training systems that can replace biological human vocalizations: But translating vocalizations in real-time is no easy challenge. Current state-of-the art systems are slow compared to our natural thought-to-speech patterns....

CyberMDX, which focuses primarily on medical cybersecurity, states that if successfully exploited, the hole could allow an attacker to interfere the operation of these sophisticated medical machines, thereby posing a risk to patients. The vulnerability was discovered in GE’s Aestiva anesthesia delivery equipment, as well as in models 7100 and 7900 of the GE Aespire. CyberMDX states that if used, an attacker could use this vulnerability to silence alarms and tamper with logs....

That’s how I felt when Dali, the venerable Danish speaker manufacturer, offered to let me try its new IO-6 headphones. The company has been building speakers since 1983, but it’s largely focused on European markets, and it’s never made headphones of any sort before (let alone of the noise-canceling variety). And at $500 a pair when many great options start at $300 or $400, the IO-6 had better be very good....

A report from the Korea Herald has given us some sense about the price tag of these devices. The company is pricing the Z Fold 3 at 1.99 million won ($1,740) and the Z Flip 3 at 1.28 million won ($1,112). In comparison, Samsung released the Z Fold 2 at $1,999 and the Z Flip at $1,379 — 17% and 22% higher than the rumored price of the new foldable....

A paper posted by the research team suggests that while traditionally researchers have used a large number of images to create a talking head model, a new technique can achieve it by few, or potentially even one image. In a video, engineer Egor Zakharov, explains that although it’s possible to create a model through a single image, training it through multiple images “leads to higher realism and better identity preservation....

Well, in a strange case of an anti-wish occurring, Samsung has just announced an expanded roll-out of its perspective-shifting TV, the Sero. Thanks for that. Now, we covered Samsung’s Sero briefly here as part of a news story on the company’s fresh devices, but I feel there’s a bit more to be said about this so-called ‘TikTok’ TV. First though, a little bit more information. Samsung’s Sero (which means ‘vertical’ in Korean) is a 43-inch device which sits on an unremovable stand....

Companies accumulate mountains of data from their customers. But manually organizing and using that data to, for example, figure out why a certain sweatshirt may have appealed to customers over a similar style would require an army of analysts and thousands of work-hours. SAS programming is how industries from banking and finance to healthcare and retail crunch their numbers and pull important useable information from that data in a fast, efficient manner....

Welcome to another edition of Bitcoin Today, where I, Satoshi Nakaboto, tell you what’s been going on with Bitcoin in the past 24 hours. As Baudriallard used to say: Success is just a product of your motivation! Bitcoin price We closed the day, February 10 2020, at a price of $9,856. That’s a notable 2.55 percent decline in 24 hours, or -$258.94. It was the lowest closing price in two days....

Welcome to another edition of Bitcoin Today, where I, Satoshi Nakaboto, tell you what’s been going on with Bitcoin in the past 24 hours. As Sloterdijk used to say: Money makes the world go around! Bitcoin price We closed the day, August 19 2020, at a price of $11,758. That’s a minor 1.93 percent decline in 24 hours, or -$232.59. It was the lowest closing price in six days. We’re still 41 percent below Bitcoin’s all-time high of $20,089 (December 17 2017)....

Cancer researcher Matt Dun, of the University of Newcastle in Australia, recently finished a three-year long study indicating a specific modified strain of cannabis is destructive to certain types of cancer cells while remaining harmless to the human body’s own cells. According to a press release from the University of Newcastle: The strain in question, named Eve, was modified to contain less than 1% of the expected amount of “THC,” the compound associated with the feeling of getting high on cannabis, while simultaneously having a very high amount of CBD....

Nuclear fusion has, traditionally, been used as the core scientific principle behind thermonuclear warheads. But the same technology that powers our weapons of mass destruction could, theoretically, be harnessed to power our cities. This would be the first fusion reactor capable of producing more energy than it takes to operate. If we can build and operate fusion reactors safely, we could almost certainly solve the global energy crisis for good....

When did the simple act of watching TV get so complicated? You probably never thought you’d be flummoxed by the process of checking in on your favorite TV shows or movies, but in the age of streaming, that can be a more involved procedure than we ever thought possible. Are you logged into the correct portal? Does it connect to the right streaming device? And the big one — which freakin’ streaming service is it stupid show on, again?...

Problem was, qualifying for the program required users to put their old devices in a new ‘Recycle Mode’ which would permanently prevent the devices from working. This did not go over well. While it seemed like a fairly innocuous move at first glance, it meant that users were limited in how they could dispose of the device. Sonos has now decided to do away with the controversial program, according to The Verge, allowing users to get rid of the speakers however they see fit....

The culinary arts have been around for as long as there’s been people with appetites. Sony AI would be hard-pressed to find a field with more ubiquitious coverage than gastronomy. Per the Sony AI website: Sony AI describes this initiative as a method by which it can provide tools and resources to aid chefs in the creation of new culinary creations and in engaging with their fans. And, yes, fans is definitely the right word....
