Where Money, Investing, and Technology Meet
When we look very closely at images generated by neural networks, we often see a strange checkerboard pattern of artifacts. It’s more obvious in some cases than others, but a large fraction of recent models exhibit this behavior. Mysteriously, the checkerboard pattern tends to be most prominent in images with strong colors. What’s going on? […]
Interest rates are coming down for the first time in three years. For those with a mortgage, this is welcome news, whilst those with savings are forced to consider whether their term deposits still make sense. But what impact do interest rate moves have on stock market investments? Given most of our superannuation is invested […]

from the cops-now-being-taunted-by-robots dept Despite being the somewhat crispied face of (extremely limited) unrest in Los Angeles in response to ICE activity, Waymo hasn’t suddenly decided it’s time to get snitchin’. In fact, it’s chosen to go the other direction, as Riley McDermid reports for Gizmodo: Waymo co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana recently emphasized that the company will challenge, […]
Let’s start with generating new strokes based on your handwriting input Neural networks are an extremely successful approach to machine learning, but it’s tricky to understand why they behave the way they do. This has sparked a lot of interest and effort around trying to understand and visualize them, which we think is so far […]
Whether you’re chasing cinematic landscapes or just want to snap the ultimate selfie from above, finding the best drone comes down to knowing what kind of flying experience you’re after. From compact foldable options you can slip into a backpack to advanced models that shoot silky-smooth 4K footage, today’s drones come packed with features that […]
—Jessica Hamzelou Earlier this week, my editor forwarded me a video of the leaders of Russia and China talking about immortality. “These days at 70 years old you are still a child,” China’s Xi Jinping, 72, was translated as saying. “With the developments of biotechnology, human organs can be continuously transplanted, and people can live […]
Shares of Oklo have skyrocketed by 1,000% over the last year. The companies that have so far benefited the most during the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution straddle the line between hardware and software. Yet as AI applications grow increasingly complex, the conversation is beginning to expand beyond chips, data centers, and algorithms. The need for […]
Are you still managing your real estate services through a personal Facebook profile? If so, you’re potentially missing out on a plethora of benefits that could take your business to the next level. The problem lies in the limitations personal profiles offer, with restrictions on follower count, lack of access to critical advertising tools, and […]
I know it can feel like a unicorn, but most bug reports do, in fact, contain steps to reproduce the error (or repro steps). As wonderful as it is to have those, the process of walking through and validating everything is still tedious. In a perfect world, we’d have end-to-end or acceptance tests that could […]
