| Tesla accused of violating federal law over ‘mass layoffs’ at Gigafactory Posted: 21 Jun 2022 10:55 AM PDT  Two former Tesla employees have filed a lawsuit claiming the company violated federal law for failing to provide 60 days' notice for a mass layoff. The lawsuit, which was filed on Sunday, follows the news that Tesla plans on laying off hourly workers, after Tesla CEO Elon Musk initially stated that the hourly workers were likely to be unaffected by the layoffs. The lawsuit was filed by John Lynch and Daxton Hartsfield, both of whom worked at Tesla's Gigafactory in Sparks, Nevada, when the layoffs began in early June. The two former employees allege they were among "more than 500" Gigafactory employees who were terminated. According... |
| Posted: 21 Jun 2022 10:25 AM PDT  Amazon has named a new CEO of its retail arm just weeks after the previous CEO announced he would be resigning. Doug Herrington, a 17-year company vet, is set to become CEO of Amazon's worldwide stores business, Amazon leader Andy Jassy announced in an email posted to the company's website. Herrington has a lot of experience in Amazon's consumer business, as noted in Jassy's email; Herrington "joined the company in 2005 to build out our Consumables business, launched AmazonFresh in 2007, and in 2015, took on leading all of our North American Consumer business," Jassy wrote. But he'll have a tough road ahead, as Amazon's growth has slowed after surging during the pandemic, and according to a recent Wall Street Journal report, Jassy has... |
| Microsoft to retire controversial facial recognition tool that claims to identify emotion Posted: 21 Jun 2022 10:10 AM PDT  Microsoft is phasing out public access to a number of AI-powered facial analysis tools — including one that claims to identify a subject's emotion from videos and pictures. Such "emotion recognition" tools have been criticized by experts. They say not only do facial expressions that are thought to be universal differ across different populations but that it is unscientific to equate external displays of emotion with internal feelings. "Companies can say whatever they want, but the data are clear," Lisa Feldman Barrett, a professor of psychology at Northeastern University who conducted a review into the subject of AI-powered emotion recognition, told The Verge in 2019. "They can detect a scowl, but that's not the same thing as detecting... |
| Microsoft, Meta, and others are founding a metaverse open standards group Posted: 21 Jun 2022 10:07 AM PDT  Microsoft, Epic Games, Meta, and 33 other companies and organizations have formed a standards group for "metaverse" tech. The Metaverse Standards Forum is supposed to foster open, interoperable standards for augmented and virtual reality, geospatial, and 3D tech. According to a press release, the Metaverse Standards Forum will focus on "pragmatic, action-based projects" like hackathons and prototyping tools for supporting common standards. It's also interested in developing "consistent terminology" for the space — where many players can't even agree on what a "metaverse" is. In addition to the companies above, the group's founding members include major pre-metaverse entities like the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Nvidia, Qualcomm,... |

| GitHub’s AI-powered Copilot will help you write code for $10 a month Posted: 21 Jun 2022 09:28 AM PDT  Microsoft-owned GitHub is launching its Copilot AI tool today, which helps suggest lines of code to developers inside their code editor. GitHub originally teamed up with OpenAI last year to launch a preview of Copilot, and it's generally available to all developers today. Priced at $10 per month or $100 a year, GitHub Copilot is capable of suggesting the next line of code as developers type in an integrated development environment (IDE) like Visual Studio Code, Neovim, and JetBrains IDEs. Copilot can suggest complete methods and complex algorithms alongside boilerplate code and assistance with unit testing. More than 1.2 million developers signed up to use the GitHub Copilot preview over the past 12 months, and it will remain a free... |
| Facebook and Instagram won’t take a cut from creators’ revenues until 2024 Posted: 21 Jun 2022 09:07 AM PDT  Creators on Facebook and Instagram won't have to share a cut of their revenue with the platforms until 2024. Meta previously said it would hold off on revenue sharing until 2023. In a post today, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a slew of monetization updates for Facebook and Instagram, including the news of the revenue-sharing extension. Creators make money on the platforms through fan subscriptions, paid events, badges, and other methods, and the companies are adding more and more ways for creators to make money in an attempt to lure them away from platforms like TikTok. With one new feature, creators on Facebook with subscribers on other platforms will be able to give those fans access to subscriber-only groups, according to the... |
| South Korea hits a space race milestone with latest rocket launch Posted: 21 Jun 2022 08:57 AM PDT  For the first time in its history, South Korea has successfully launched a satellite into orbit on a domestically built rocket. The Nuri rocket lifted off at 4PM local time today from the Naro Space Center in Goheung. The launch could help South Korea gain footing in the growing global space industry and potentially bolster the nation's national defense arsenal with future spy satellites. Nuri's payload today included a set of satellites that officials say have no military purposes. The rocket placed a 357-pound performance verification satellite into orbit about 435 miles (700 km) above our planet. The performance verification satellite is now poised to help South Korea launch more satellites. While in orbit, the satellite will test an... |
| Take a leisurely drive through automotive history in Ford’s newly digitized archive Posted: 21 Jun 2022 08:40 AM PDT  Ford is officially 119 years old, and in celebration, the Blue Oval is launching an online archive so car enthusiasts can sift through its long and storied past. The Ford Heritage Vault is a digital database that contains more than 5,000 curated photographs and product brochures from Ford and Lincoln vehicles, spanning from the company's founding in 1903 to its centennial in 2003. The vault allows anyone to view and download the images for "personal use, free of charge," Ford says. The automaker will update the archive with more automotive ephemera over time, so the vault will only grow in size. "We're opening up in a way we've never done before," said Ted Ryan, Ford archive and heritage brand manager, in a statement. "Our archives... |
