Here’s how neuroscience can protect AI from cyberattacks

Here’s how neuroscience can protect AI from cyberattacks Convolutional neural networks The main architecture used in computer vision today isconvolutional neural networks(CNN). When stacked on top of each other, multiple convolutional layers can be trained to learn and extract hierarchical features from images. Lower layers find general patterns such as corners and edges, and higher layers gradually become adept at finding more specific things such as objects and people. In comparison to the traditional fully connected networks, ConvNets have proven to be both more robust and computationally efficient....

Here’s how OpenAI’s magical DALL-E image generator works

Here’s how OpenAI’s magical DALL-E image generator works What is DALL·E and what can it do? In July, DALL·E’s creator, the company OpenAI, released a similarly huge model called GPT-3 that wowed the world withits ability to generate human-like text, including Op Eds, poems, sonnets, and even computer code. DALL·E is a natural extension of GPT-3 that parses text prompts and then responds not with words but in pictures. In one example from OpenAI’s blog, for example, the model renders images from the prompt “a living room with two white armchairs and a painting of the colosseum....

Here’s how researchers found coronavirus in a cat — but don’t panic

Here’s how researchers found coronavirus in a cat — but don’t panic Searching for coronavirus in UK cats In early May, my colleagues and I were given ethical approval to retrospectively test cats for SARS-CoV-2 and work soon began screening routine respiratory samples taken from cats throughout the UK. We alsolaunched an appealto veterinary surgeons asking for samples from suspect cases. After screening hundreds of samples, this collaborative effort eventually resulted in the detection of a cat with SARS-CoV-2 in the south of England, which had been sampled in mid-May....

Here’s how the Mercedes EQXX concept can boast 1,000km of range

Mercedes’ EQXX concept vehicle is definitely a looker, but what’s really striking about it is its very,very, long range. Specifically, the automaker claims its EV is good for 1,000km on a single charge — that’s enough to take you from Paris to London, for instance. And back. According to Mercedes, EQXX’s whopping rangeis the result of efficiency-optimizing innovations, starting with a new proprietary drivetrain that delivers 95% of the battery’s power directly to the wheels....

Here’s how the Pixel 6’s Google Tensor challenges other Android CPUs

The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro we officiallyrevealedtoday. Alongside them, we got some confirmation about the phone’s fascinating new Google TensorSoC— and how it’s different from anything else currently out there. There are few key ways Google is differentiating itself. One of the most peculiar, as predicted byleaks, is the arrangement of CPU cores. Some background:Current flagship Android processors like the Exynos 2100 and Snapdragon 888 use three types of cores....
