One thing you wouldn’t use wood for is making windows. Instead, we rely on glass and plastic, which are transparent and, when toughened, can give structural support. But buildings lose a lot of heat through glass, and while light can bring some heat through the material, it’s not a good insulator. This is why we need double glazing. Wood, on the other hand, is highly insulating but it’s not transparent....

Science doesn’t know why humans are more intelligent than spiders, monkeys, or birds. It has nothing but unsubstantiated theories to offer us when we wonder why a sunset can bring us to tears but a butterfly doesn’t know Miles Davis from the sound of thunder. Whatever is happening inside our heads isn’t the same as what occurs in other creatures’. The busiest, most complex part of the human brain is the cerebral cortex....

Yet, in the midst of this downturn, Waabi, a Toronto-based self-driving car startup, has just come out of stealth with an insane amount of $83.5 million in a Series A funding round led by Khosla Ventures, with additional participation from Uber, 8VC, Radical Ventures, OMERS Ventures, BDC, and Aurora Innovation. The company’s financial backers also include Geoffrey Hinton, Fei-Fei Li, Peter Abbeel, and Sanja Fidler, artificial intelligence scientists with great influence in the academia and applied AI community....

Michael Daniel, the cybersecurity coordinator for the Obama administration, told the committee in August 2016 that Russians had “attempted to intrude in all 50 states.” The suspicion was confirmed by an intelligence report in 2018. This was echoed in a joint report published in April by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security, which stated Russian hackers may have tried to infiltrate all US states in the run-up to the 2016 elections....

It was created because its co-founders wanted to fulfill the need to build a platform that would enable users to write decentralized applications and use the Ethereum blockchain as a world computer. Ethereum has been credited with making smart contracts a key part of the blockchain conversation and showing the world how blockchain technology can be used far beyond the applications of just cryptocurrency. [Read: Ethereum had a less than stellar Q3, intense 6 months ahead as ETH 2....

To that end, California-based startup OneD Battery Sciences has produced silicon nanowires that can be fused directly onto the commercial graphite particles found in the anodes of batteries. The impact? Potentially tripling the energy density of the anode, reducing charging times, and lowering the overall cost of the battery. Why silicon could be a game changer According to research by the PNNL Laboratory, silicon has a theoretical energy capacity 10 times higher than that of graphite, and can absorb lithium-ions much faster during charging — reducing the duration of the process....

Sofa Summit is organized by Smartly.io, and it’s the world’s largest social advertising event. Lasting for almost 15 hours and running from January 27-28, Sofa Summit features over 50 sessions, as well as networking opportunities and a closing party. In other words, you can have the full conference experience from the same place you do your movie-watching, Netflix binging, and online shopping: the comfort of your own sofa. The best part?...

— Digital Foundry (@digitalfoundry) March 18, 2020 The presentation itself was absolutely dry and technical, as befits a presentation originally set to play at the Game Developer’s Conference. PS5 architect Mark Cerny waxed poetic about the specifics of the PS5’s internals to a Mystery Science Theater 3000-style overlay of shadow figures, in a droning tone that sounded like a sleep paralysis demon’s idea of ASMR. If you want to read the full details about what’s under the PS5’s hood, check out Digital Foundry’s breakdown here....

In other words, Sony has a pretty great streak going on. So I was excited to see leaks of the new WH-1000XM5 begin to pop up. Leaked images of the new headphones posted by The Walkman Blog show a design that departs significantly from Sony’s usual aesthetic. Behold: Someone on Reddit also posted an image of what appears to be a retail unit, seemingly confirming the design and a few specifications....

Bezos’s aerospace firm, Blue Origin, turned up the temperature on Monday, by filing a protest against NASA’s choice of Musk’s SpaceX for a mission to the Moon. Earlier this month, NASA awarded SpaceX a $2.9 billion contract to build a lunar lander. Blue Origin and defense contractor Duentics had also submitted proposals for the project. NASA had been expected to choose two of the three firms, to ensure they had a backup and a healthy dose of competition....

Since the rise of AOL, Gmail and others, you’ve been able to get a free email address almost anywhere you turn for years. However, that privilege comes with a few trade-offs of its own. No matter who handles your email services, you’re very likely, though often unknowingly, allowing them into your life. They can track you and your activities as well as read your emails in exchange for that free service....

But Python is not the only option for programming machine learning applications. There’s a growing community of developers who are using JavaScript to run machine learning models. While JavaScript is not a replacement for the rich Python machine learning landscape (yet), there are several good reasons to have JavaScript machine learning skills. Here are four. Most machine learning applications rely on client-server architectures. Users must send their data where the machine learning models are running....

BMW isn’t shifting to all-electric drivetrains in one fell swoop, the iX3 is built on a platform that shares a lot of components with its combustion engined brothers and sisters. As a result the iX3 looks a lot like its petrol and diesel counterparts. But there are a few subtle styling cues that help tell the world that it’s an electric breed of the popular sports activity vehicle. [Read: The upcoming Fisker Ocean EV might end up being a VW underneath] Despite numerous leaks earlier this year, let’s take a closer look at the official thing....

Hail another victory for drones. In Nebraska, investigators with the Nebraska State Patrol are launching drones to fly over vehicle accident sites. Authorities say the drones use state of the art mapping technology to create the best possible visual representation of a crash scene and cut investigative and road closure times to less than half of what they were before. You might not trick it out to be its own little aerial CSI unit, but once you get your hands on the controls of a craft like this 4K HD Drone Quadcopter ($112....
