Whats big, good for your brain, and about to land in Spain? Thats right,TNW Valencia! On March 30th and 31st in 2023, were bringing our world famous tech event to Espana. So… why Valencia? Easy: its Spains fastest-growing entrepreneurial ecosystem. On top of that, it has the countrys highest number of startups per capita. You feel pretty silly for asking now, dont you? If you want to discover whats next in tech, its the place to be....
What about the data we generate as content and art? Its certainly not legal to copy someone elses work and then present it as your own. Can GDPR or any other EU-centered policies protect this kind of content? As it turns out, like most things in the machine learning world, it depends on the data. 40% off TNW Conference! The only way to teach an AI to imitate humans is to expose it to human-generated data....
The problem is: no one knows about it. The question is, where do you start? You need more than a business card to get started in the big wide business world. Think: a logo, website, and popping social media presence. Are you panicking because you dont have a full time designer yet? ), you gotta find a benchmark. What are your competitors doing? How about your customers? Whats your markets unique approach to branding?...
Up front:Atomic clocks have been in popular use since the 1950s. The Oxford teams experiment involved a relatively new wrinkle to the formula called an optical atomic clock. This allows scientists to make more robust measurements. But entangled clocks are, theoretically, capable of much greater accuracy. Quick take:The potential implications for this research are humongous. And, best of all, theres not much downside to pursuing this research. Also tagged with
The future is becoming less car-centric. But in Germany, the autobahn runs a whopping 13,000 kilometers. Lets take a look. But you cant take a nap. 40% off TNW Conference! The technology is currently exclusive to Germany. But Mercedes aims to get regulatory approval in California and Nevada later this year. Since 2019, Germany hastrialed power linesfor electric trucks on three patches of the autobahn. This enables selecttrucks to recharge their batterieswhile driving at full speed....
The ancient art of origami could have a future inspace. The program will use technology designed byStilfold, a Swedish startup thats pioneered a manufacturing process called industrial origami. The technique uses robotic arms to fold sheets of steel over curves to form complex and lightweight shapes. Stilfoldpreviously used the approach to buildan electric scooter. 40% off TNW Conference! In addition, the method doesnt require any stamping or welding. Stilfold co-founder Jonas Nyvang envisions unfolding vehicles and food storage facilities in outer space....
The end of summer also sounded the end of Germanys9 public transport ticket a tenth of its usual price. Unsurprisingly popular with commuters, it left people wondering what was next. This week the Berlin Senate has announced its plan to secure funds for reduced-price BVG tickets. Did the 9 ticket get people out of their cars? 40% off TNW Conference! A whopping one in five buyers had never used public transport before....
In the age of Google, we all naturally turn to the internet when were facing a challenge. For years, weve listened to the same advice. Weve all heard the horror stories. An HR manager found pictures from your second cousins stag weekend and rescinded the companys job offer. 40% off TNW Conference! But is this really still necessary? Unfortunately, it might be. A few weeks ago, Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin made headlines across the globe....
Thedigital platform economyhas exploded in the last few years. According to European Commission figures, over28 million people in the EU work through digital labor platformstoday. By 2025, their number is expected to reach 43 million. Workforce digitalization, whichaccelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic, has radically changed the European labor market. For some people, that meansinsecure contracts and stressful working conditions. While others are fortunate enough to freely embrace platform work as a way ofescaping the 9-to-5and increasing economic opportunities....
For this reason, researchers have been employing advanced machine learning algorithms to accurately predict calendar ageing. It’s free, every week, in your inbox. How do the algorithms work? Both algorithms were chosen for their ability to yield reliable results, but they differ significantly in their operation. XGBoostis a decision tree-based, state-of-the-art supervisedmachine learningalgorithm thats widely used in regression or classification problems. Simply put, the smaller the MAPE value, the higher the prediction accuracy....
When it comes to mobility, the future is electric, and that means a lot of batteries. Unfortunately, batteries can potentially catch fire or explode, causing fast, ferocious fires. But we might have a solution or several solutions. Today Im focusing on prevention. TheThermarestordevice offers preventative maintenance. The equipment monitors detection points and detects heat. It’s free, every week, in your inbox. If it detects abnormal heat (exceeding 80C), it isolates the power and removes the ignition source....
It’s free, every week, in your inbox. And, outside of simulations, anything can happen. Agents have to deal with gravity, unexpectedly slippery surfaces, and unplanned interference from other agents. As the AI starts its training, its barely able to move its physics-based humanoid avatar around the field. Our work constitutes a complete demonstration of learned integrated decision-making at multiple scales in a multiagent setting. Quick take:This work is pretty rad....
Scientists have tappedneuromorphic computingto keeprobotslearning about new objects after theyve been deployed. IntelLabs has developed one of the most notable architectures in the field: theLoihineuromorphic chip. It’s free, every week, in your inbox. Intel Labs this week unveiled another app. The new neuromorphic approach aims to overcomes these limitations. The researchers first implemented an SNN on Loihi. This architecturelocalizes learning to a single layer of plastic synapses. It also accounts for different views of objects by adding new neurons on demand....
