| Duolingo interprets 2021, with TikTok and Squid Game inspiring users to learn new languages Posted: 05 Dec 2021 09:01 PM PST  Language learning app Duolingo said its phrase of the year is "I am mentally exhausted," which appears as part of its Japanese course and does seem to nicely sum up 2021. Like Spotify and Apple, Duolingo is giving users a look back at the year that was. Starting today, anyone who completed at least 10 Duolingo lessons in 2021 can get a personalized look at what kind of language learner they are, based on when they practice their lessons, how many courses they've taken, and how many hours they spent learning on the app. In its 2021 language report and survey, Duolingo said the top five languages learned on the app... |
| A humanoid robot makes eerily lifelike facial expressions Posted: 05 Dec 2021 03:23 PM PST  Engineered Arts, a UK-based designer and manufacturer of humanoid robots, recently showed off one of its most lifelike creations in a video posted on YouTube. The robot, called Ameca, is shown making a series of incredibly human-like facial expressions. At the start of the video, Ameca appears to "wake up," as its face conveys a mix of confusion and frustration when it opens its eyes. But when Ameca starts looking at its hands and arms, the robot opens its mouth and raises its brows in what it looks like is amazement. The end of the video shows Ameca smiling and holding a welcoming hand out towards the viewer — if that's how you want to interpret that gesture. S... |
| Clearview AI is closer to getting a US patent for its facial recognition technology Posted: 05 Dec 2021 02:10 PM PST  Clearview AI is on track to receive a US patent for its facial recognition technology, according to a report from Politico. The company was reportedly sent a "notice of allowance" by the US Patent and Trademark Office, which means that once it pays the required administration fees, its patent will be officially approved. Clearview AI builds its facial recognition database using images of people that it scrapes across social media (and the internet in general), a practice that has the company steeped in controversy. The company's patent application details its use of a "web crawler" to acquire images, even noting that "online photos associated with a person's account may help to create additional records of facial recognition data... |
| Posted: 05 Dec 2021 01:34 PM PST  Update December 5th, 4:30PM ET: Per IGN's Taylor Lyles and an updated message on the Walmart Gamer Drop splash page, the event won't have the new consoles you're probably looking for, despite featuring them prominently in the artwork. The post below has been updated to reflect this. Walmart has announced a new Gamer Drop event coming to select stores on December 11th, where the retailer is promising to have the "latest gaming titles and consoles." It's billing it as a holiday shopping event, complete with discounts and exclusive gear. The posted circular on Walmart's website prominently features the major consoles, including the Nintendo Switch OLED Model, Xbox Series X / S, and both models of the PlayStation 5 with the note of... |
| The Verizon app might be collecting your browsing history and more Posted: 05 Dec 2021 10:47 AM PST  The My Verizon app might be collecting information about your browsing history, location, apps, and your contacts, all in the name of helping the company "understand your interests," first spotted by Input. The program, which Verizon appears to automatically opt customers into, is called Verizon Custom Experience and lays buried in the privacy settings on the app. The program introduces two different options that appear in the app, Custom Experience and Custom Experience Plus, each of which varies in terms of invasiveness. Verizon provides additional information about both settings within the app, as well as on a FAQ page on its website. It appears that the Custom Experience option is a stripped-down version of Custom Experience Plus,... |
| New trailers: Station Eleven, The Matrix Resurrections, The Book of Boba Fett, and more Posted: 05 Dec 2021 09:45 AM PST  I finally finished The Beatles: Get Back, and even though it meandered a lot, I found myself wanting more. The Wall Street Journal's Jason Gay nicely captures what it felt like to watch this 50-year old footage as a fan, like we were all kinda just hanging out with John, Paul, George, and Ringo as they worked on new material. Highly recommend watching, it will make you question some of the prevailing narratives about the Fab Four (like the widely held belief that they were at each other's throats constantly as the band neared its breakup). Also! We got some late-breaking news Saturday about the sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. It's going to be titled Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and will actually be a two-parter,... |
| An interactive Doja Cat music video can introduce you to programming Posted: 05 Dec 2021 08:16 AM PST  Girls Who Code, the nonprofit organization that aims to get more women and girls interested in the field of computer science, has debuted what it calls the "first ever" codable music video. The organization partnered with Doja Cat, transforming her new music video for Woman into an interactive experience.
You can try out the experience for yourself at Dojacode.com, where you'll be greeted by a futuristic image of Doja Cat that becomes pixelated as you drag your mouse over the screen. On the next... |
| Fortnite: Chapter 3 is now live with new island, Spider-Man, and plenty more changes Posted: 05 Dec 2021 07:14 AM PST  And then there were three. After a dramatic live event on Saturday, Fortnite is moving on to Chapter 3, which introduces some big changes for the battle royale. This morning developer Epic launched season 1 of the new chapter, called "Flipped," and the most dramatic change is the shift to a fresh, snow-covered island, one that features weather conditions, along with new locations like Sanctuary — which appears to play a large part in Fortnite lore — and the Daily Bugle. Those who pick up the new battle pass will also be able to get their hands on characters like Spider-Man and (eventually) The Foundation, voiced by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. You can get the full run-down of the battle pass right here: (It's been a busy weekend for... |
| eBay accidentally suspended ‘a small number’ of users Posted: 05 Dec 2021 06:38 AM PST  eBay inadvertently suspended an unspecified number of users on December 3rd. The platform has since acknowledged the incident, noting that users who were accidentally suspended have received a notification so they can resolve the issue. Users across social media began reporting that they've been suspended from eBay on Friday, despite not knowingly breaking any rules on the platform. An entire Reddit thread on r/ebay is dedicated to the issue, and although the original post has since been deleted, dozens of other users have added their own experiences to the thread. One user describes their own account of the situation, much of which is echoed by other comments:

| Posted: 04 Dec 2021 05:16 PM PST  The first trailer for the highly anticipated sequel to the animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse just dropped, revealing both the title — Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One) — and the surprise that the upcoming adventures of Miles Morales will actually be a two-part affair. The first-look trailer picks up right where the last Spider-Verse movie left off: with Miles (Shameik Moore) lying in bed, before a portal to Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld) and her universe opens. From there, it seems like Across the Spider-Verse (Part One) is going to be trying to one-up the already stellar animation of the original film, with Miles bouncing across multiple animated universes in a variety of art styles as he dukes it out with... |
