Valve co-founder says brain-computer interfaces will let you ‘edit’ your feelings
Jan 26, 2021 | 17:40 pm
Read more...
The head of video games giant Valve says future brain-computer interfaces could change how players feel. Gabe Newell believes BCIs will soon create superior experiences to what we can perceive through our eyes and ears alone. “But that’s not where it gets weird,” he told New Zealand’s 1 News. “Where it gets weird is when who you are becomes editable through a BCI.” Newell envisions the devices detecting a gamer’s emotions and then adjusting the settings to modify their mood — like ramping up the difficulty when they’re getting bored. But they could also be applied to everyday aspects of our lives, from turning…[…] -
Lightkey helps write faster emails by basically doing the writing for you
Jan 26, 2021 | 17:30 pm
Read more...
TLDR: Lightkey Pro studies how you write, then predicts what you’ll write next up to 12 words so you can add it to your emails and documents with just a click. There’s a reason answering emails starts to feel like shoveling snow during a Minnesota January. The moment you think you’re finished, you turn around and another dump has erased all your past work and you get to do it all over again. Digging out from an email avalanche can feel just as repetitive, often forcing you to write the same lines and include the same information in email after…[…] -
Deep learning models DON’T need to be black boxes — here’s how
Jan 26, 2021 | 16:00 pm
Read more...
Deep neural networks can perform wonderful feats thanks to their extremely large and complicated web of parameters. But their complexity is also their curse: The inner workings of neural networks are often a mystery — even to their creators. This is a challenge that has been troubling the artificial intelligence community since deep learning started to become popular in the early 2010s. In tandem with the expansion of deep learning in various domains and applications, there has been a growing interest in developing techniques that try to explain neural networks by examining their results and learned parameters. But these explanations are often erroneous and misleading, and…[…] -
Want to drive a hydrogen EV in the US? Move to California
Jan 26, 2021 | 15:03 pm
Read more...
A new partnership between future fuel firms, PowerTap Hydrogen Fuelling and the Andretti Group, could be bringing 100 new hydrogen filling pumps to gas stations across the US. The deal, announced earlier today, will begin by fitting hydrogen pumps to 39 Andretti-owned filling stations in California. So, that sucks if you don’t live in California and want to get a hydrogen car. Once these 39 locations are complete, other Andretti locations across the rest of the US will be retrofitted with the company’s hydrogen dispensing pumps. PowerTap Hydrogen has ambitions to install more than 500 hydrogen filling stations across the…[…] -
Opal cuts off your apps’ internet access to help you stop doomscrolling
Jan 26, 2021 | 14:00 pm
Read more...
The coronavirus pandemic has had us spend more time on our phones. Last year gave birth to doomscrolling and it was hard to take your eyes off the screen. Now a new app called Opal has a novel approach to disconnecting your apps from the internet to help you save some time from mindless hours of browsing. The iOS app uses a custom VPN to manage all these connections. So, once you start a session on Opal, you’d be able to open the app, but you won’t be able to refresh your feed. This is an interesting approach, and it kinda…[…] -
Google unveils privacy-friendly AI cookie killer
Jan 26, 2021 | 13:06 pm
Read more...
Third-party cookies might have a tasty name, but they can be pretty poisonous when they’re quietly tracking your online behavior. A new Google machine learning initiative aims to replace the rancid cookies with a privacy-first alternative. The search giant calls the system Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC). FLoC (pronounced “flock”) allows businesses to send ads to groups of potential customers rather than specific individuals. The system uses machine learning algorithms to create clusters of people with similar browsing habits. All the data analyzed by the algorithms — including your web history — is kept private on the browser and not uploaded anywhere else.…[…] -

Jan 26, 2021 | 13:00 pm

I use a 2017 MacBook Air with 128GB of internal memory. So, between photo samples, apps, and other downloads, I don’t have much space and I constantly need to delete stuff. A lot of times, I have duplicate files, especially photos and videos, and it’s a pain to detect and remove them manually. Thankfully, a tool like Gemini II from MacPaw helps me find and clear duplicate files. Now, the app is getting a new update that automatically detects identical files and helps you remove them. In the previous version, you had to manually scan your Mac to get duplicates…[…] -
Help kill the ‘Bernie sitting’ meme with this easy-to-use image generator
Jan 26, 2021 | 12:22 pm
Read more...
If you’re even slightly ‘online,’ the Bernie sitting meme has been unmissable. It hit fever pitch just before the weekend — and that means one thing: it’s now passé. The internet moves so quickly that a few days of popularity is a practically an epoch. But just because the Bernie sitting meme is over, doesn’t mean it’s dead. Far from it. To paraphrase an excellent tweet, we’ll soon enter its ‘mom phase.’ You know, that terrible time in a meme’s lifecycle where your relatives post it on Facebook with captions like “LOL IM DED,” “HAHA,” and “SOCIALISM IS CANCER.” There’s…[…] -

3 reasons why almost every VC investor passed on Zoom
Jan 26, 2021 | 10:04 am
Read more...
We now live in a Zoom world. Since founding the now-iconic video-conferencing company in 2011, Eric Yuan has elevated Zoom to one of the most successful SaaS businesses in recent history. With 400,000 paying customers, $600+ million in quarterly revenue, and a market cap north of $100 billion, Zoom is ubiquitous in post-pandemic 2020. But when Yuan was raising his Series A round back in 2012, dozens of institutional venture capital firms — including those focused on early-stage, cloud, and mobile deals — passed on Zoom. Why, and what can investors and entrepreneurs learn from these reasons? Zoom’s early days…[…] -
