| What it’s like to watch an IBM AI successfully debate humans Posted: 18 Jun 2018 08:15 PM PDT  At a small event in San Francisco last night, IBM hosted two debate club-style discussions between two humans and an AI called "Project Debater." The goal was for the AI to engage in a series of reasoned arguments according to some pretty standard rules of debate: no awareness of the debate topic ahead of time, no pre-canned responses. Each side gave a four-minute introductory speech, a four-minute rebuttal to the other's arguments, and a two-minute closing statement. Project Debater held its own. It looks like a huge leap beyond that other splashy demonstration we all remember from IBM, when Watson mopped the floor with its competition at Jeopardy. IBM's AI demonstration today was built on that foundation, it had many corpuses of data... |
| Senate votes to reinstate ZTE ban that’s nearly shut down the company Posted: 18 Jun 2018 05:14 PM PDT  The US Senate has voted to reinstate a ban on ZTE that prevents the Chinese telecom company from buying US components and using US software. But it's still not clear if the reversal will make it into law: it has to clear a conference with the House, and then avoid a veto from President Trump, who advocated for cutting a deal that would lift the ban. ZTE was hit with the trade ban by the US Commerce Department in April after failing to following through with a punishment for violating sanctions on Iran and North Korea. That ban essentially shut down ZTE, which relies on US parts like Qualcomm processors. Shortly thereafter, Trump said he would cut a deal to revive the company, and a deal was reached — with additional penalties that the... |
| Elon Musk emailed all of Tesla about attempted ‘sabotage’ by an employee Posted: 18 Jun 2018 04:29 PM PDT  Tesla CEO Elon Musk emailed his entire company just before midnight last night saying that an employee had been caught conducting "damaging sabotage to our operations," according to CNBC, which obtained the email. The employee was allegedly found to have made "direct code changes" to Tesla's manufacturing system and sent "large amounts of highly sensitive" data to third parties. The employee has already been questioned by Tesla, and Musk says it's continuing to investigate whether the employee was working with others. In his email, Musk questioned whether "Wall Street short-sellers," "oil & gas companies," or "the multitude of big gas/diesel car company competitors" may have been involved. "If they're willing to cheat so much about... |
| Airbnb founders call Trump’s family separation policy ‘heartless, cruel, and immoral’ Posted: 18 Jun 2018 04:08 PM PDT  Airbnb co-founders Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia, and Nathan Blecharczyk have issued a joint statement this afternoon condemning President Donald Trump's policy of separating immigrant parents from their children at the US-Mexico border. The statement, issued publicly on Twitter, is both a plain and harsh rebuke of the Trump administration's policy, which has caused nationwide outcry as stories about and photos of distraught children and parents being forcibly taken away from one another have dominated the news. "Ripping children from the arms of their parents is heartless, cruel, immoral and counter to American values of belonging," the statement reads. "The US government needs to stop this injustice and reunite these families. We are a... |
| China bans ASMR videos citing ‘vulgar and pornographic content’ Posted: 18 Jun 2018 03:10 PM PDT  After an announcement posted on June 8th, China's anti-pornography office has cracked down on ASMR videos on video streaming platforms, telling services to "thoroughly clean up vulgar and pornographic ASMR content." Since then, ASMR videos have disappeared from all major Chinese streaming platforms. ASMR, which stands for autonomous sensory meridian response, refers to the sounds of people whispering, tapping or stroking a microphone, or eating foods to create a sense of relaxation for their audiences. While some ASMR videos involve sexual content and dress by hosts, the community at large has often pushed back against that association. In a 2015 paper that studied ASMR media consumers in the United States and Western Europe, researchers... |
| Fortnite fans broke into prop cars to get llamas hidden by Epic Games Posted: 18 Jun 2018 03:00 PM PDT  Epic Games, makers of hit battle royale game Fortnite, threw an impressive party during last week's big E3 gaming convention. The developers didn't just want to throw a rager: they wanted to celebrate the fiction of the game in a real-world setting. The plan was to immerse fans in the candy-coated world of Fortnite at an event held at the LA Memorial Coliseum, where they could drink a version of in-game restorative item "Slurp Juice" or chill in a firepit named after the game's "cozy campfire." Attendees were also given a "battle pass" that they could fill up with stickers for completing tasks like taking a picture or talking with costumed characters — including five rare stickers that would grant party-goers special prizes like... |
| This unlicensed Harry Potter battery pack makes a bad pun out of an even worse product Posted: 18 Jun 2018 02:17 PM PDT  If you've read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — which I generally assume is most of the global population — you're probably familiar with the Elder Wand, a powerful wand wielded by both Dumbledore and the dark wizard Voldemort over the course of the series. The CELLder Wand is not the Elder Wand. Where one is a fictional, legendary magical artifact of ultimate power, the CELLder wand is a Kickstarter campaign for a possibly fictional hunk of plastic that surrounds a fairly ordinary 3,200 mAh USB battery pack. I'm going to be honest here: I am an extremely dedicated Harry Potter fan, and I can't fathom ever wanting this. As a replica wand, it's awful — made of plastic and not wood, overly large and chunky, and with tiered... |
| Tronc to change name back to Tribune Publishing after years of ridicule Posted: 18 Jun 2018 01:42 PM PDT  Newspaper publisher and ostensible online media company Tronc has acknowledged how silly its name is and will be changing it back to Tribune Publishing, according to a report from the New York Post. The name change took place back in 2016 as part of a broad rebranding of the Chicago-based business, which at the time was grappling with its outdated business model, lackluster public image, and its inability to adapt to a media landscape increasingly less dependent on traditional newspaper publishing. The change was also a way for Tronc to differentiate itself from the Tribune Media company from which it was spun off. The Tronc name was widely ridiculed at the time as an out-of-touch way to modernize the look and feel of a company partly... |
| Microsoft says it’s ‘dismayed’ by child separations after criticism over ICE contract Posted: 18 Jun 2018 01:09 PM PDT  After facing criticism for working with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Microsoft said in a statement today that the company was "dismayed" by the Trump administration's policy of separating families, but it did not address its work with the agency directly. Social media users recently turned up a January blog post, in which Microsoft discussed working with ICE on government cloud services. The company declined to answer questions on its exact relationship with the agency, but the blog post said working "with Azure Government enabl[ed] [ICE] to process data on edge devices or utilize deep learning capabilities to accelerate facial recognition and identification." The Trump... |
| PUBG creators fight back against asset flipping controversy Posted: 18 Jun 2018 12:23 PM PDT  "Asset flipping" is a contentious term for video game fans, who often use it to refer to bad games that are cobbled together using pre-made assets. On Steam, asset flipping has been a genuine problem in the past due to a lack of safety measures for preventing garbage from getting on the storefront. But the discussion around asset flipping has apparently given people the wrong idea of how games are made, judging by a recent controversy with the gritty battle royale game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Making wholly original video game assets such as 3D models is a time-consuming and expensive practice that even big game development companies can't always swing. As such, many developers end up outsourcing work to other countries, or... |
