It was a quiet news day at Facebook

The media has been awash with news that researchers working at Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research (FAIR) found it necessary to pull the plug on two chatbots when it was discovered they were communicating in a language only the chatbots could understand...

Movidius: A stick for neural-networks from Intel for $79.

Movidius: A stick for neural-networks from Intel for $79.

After Intel took over the machine-vision specialist company Movidius last year, a low-cost USB stick with hardware for deep learning is now on offer from the company for only $ 79. The Movidius Neural Compute Stick contains an SoC offering computing power of up to 100 Gigaflops which simply plugs into a commercial PC’s USB 3.0 port...

Do I sound human? Ask a machine.

The Turing Test developed by Alan Turing is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to or indistinguishable from a human. In the test human observers decide whether the responses are produced by a bot or human. Could a machine ever be as good at detecting a bot?

Jenga can speed up processing and reduce power... your move.

New cache hierarchy offers more speed and reduces power requirements

Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory have simulated a memory cache system called "Jenga" that creates new cache structures on the fly to optimize memory access for each specific app. This new approach is said to offer increased processing speed by up to 30% with otherwise identical hardware and to reduce energy consumption by up to 85%...

Forest 1.0 for a taste of quantum computing

On June 20, Silicon Valley startup Rigetti Quantum Computing Inc. opened its own wafer fab, dubbed Fab-1, for quantum computing circuits. Fab-1 is located in Fremont CA. Ahead of any real products for quantum computing, Rigetti announced the availability of Forest 1.0, “an application programming interface to an execution environment for quantum/classical computing.” In plain words: an API for quantum computing in the cloud. Forest can be used to simulate how algorithms will work on up to 30 qubits through a virtual machine running in the cloud.

Who's afraid of AI?

Who's afraid of AI?

The idea of Artificial Intelligence or AI is probably as old as modern man, but, according to our trustworthy friend Wikipedia, the field of AI research was born at Dartmouth College in 1956. Earlier attempts on what we now call AI concerned mainly machines capable of executing mathematical operations. Since a few years AI research is booming thanks to for instance the developments in cloud computing and smart devices, and the time has come for a survey to find out what the “common” people knows about AI and how they feel about it.

3D virtual tour of UK early computing goes online

Anyone can now have a 3D virtual tour of two early computing galleries at The National Museum of Computing on Bletchley Park, UK, thanks to the 3D, 360-degree photography application developed by Venue View Virtual Tours. Viewers can move around the galleries looking at the machines and their descriptions with the added bonus of hyperlinks to video and text explanations providing further detail and history of the exhibits.

The Machine has a single memory of 160 terabytes

Even though computers are still getting faster and faster every day, they just can’t keep up with the enormous amounts of data that we produce. The reason for this is that these computers are still based on an architecture that was developed some sixty years ago. In this architecture the processor is the central piece, memory comes second. To solve this problem researchers are working on a new computing paradigm called Memory Driven Computing.

Tearing your hair out or just WannaCry?

Is it over yet? Last weekend, the big story was of course the Ransomware attack that succeeded in infecting, encrypting and crippling around 250,000 PCs worldwide. There was hardly a newspaper or magazine that didn’t run the story but what impact did the attack make in the world of electronics?

But who infected my DVR, and… why?

But who infected my DVR, and… why?

Hajime is the name of a malware — a worm — that is currently infecting thousands of devices connected to the public Internet. The worm mainly targets digital video recorders (DVRs), webcams and routers. According to researchers at Kaspersky Lab, more than 300,000 devices have already been infected world-wide. The worm is unique in several ways, one of them being that nobody seems to know what its purpose is.
