Russian scientists present to Putin the nation’s ‘most powerful’ quantum computer

Posted by in categories: computing, encryption, quantum physics

Various reports say the claim is far from true.

Russian scientists are claiming that they have created the most powerful quantum computer in the history of their nation. They even presented the computer to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who visited the exhibition of quantum technology achievements by Rosatom, the State Nuclear Energy Corporation.

But as per a report, the claim is far from true and the computer won’t be breaking modern encryption codes anytime soon.

Apple is quietly working on ‘Apple GPT’ to rival OpenAI

Posted by in categories: mobile phones, robotics/AI

It is believed that Apple is creating its large language model in competition with OpenAI’s GPT-3 and GPT-4, Google’s Bert and LaMDA, Meta’s LLaMa-1 and LLaMa-2, among others.

Whenever Apple launches a new product, its competitors, developers, and starry-eyed consumers take it very seriously. And with the veritable craze over artificial intelligence (AI) tools, it was only a matter of time before the iPhone creator came up with something explosive.

It is believed that Apple is creating its large language model (LLM) in competition with OpenAI’s GPT-3 and GPT-4, Google’s Bert and LaMDA, Meta’s LLaMa-1 and LLaMa-2, among others. It is also being learned that Apple has created a chatbot service… More.

China built 600,000 5G base stations in three months when it took US two years to build 100,000

Posted by in categories: business, internet

The technology is not aimed at streaming high-quality videos but is helping businesses become more competitive.

China built a whopping 600,000 5G base stations in the last three months as it raced to achieve its target of three million before the end of the year, the South China Morning Post.

5G is the terminology used to denote the fifth generation of mobile network technology that can support high-speed broadband internet with low latency. Unlike its predecessors, 5G mobile networks have massive network capacities and can deliver a uniform user experience.

‘World’s largest sundial’ could generate nearly 400,000 kWh of electricity every year

Posted by in categories: solar power, sustainability

The project, called the Arch of Time, will stand 100 feet tall and generate enough solar power every year to offset 40 Texans’ home energy use.

Berlin architect Riccardo Mariano has designed an innovative new project for the city of Houston, Texas, that will generate nearly 400,000 kWh of electricity every year while acting as a public sundial.

The project, named the Arco del Tiempo (Arch of Time), will be a 100-foot-tall triumphal archway that will serve as the gateway to the city’s East End, part of the Second Ward district for the city. It will have a roof covered in photovoltaic modules to produce electricity as well.

New dual-resolution technique opens door for faster drone exploration

Posted by in categories: drones, mapping, robotics/AI

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have developed a new technique that could lead to faster and more efficient drone exploration.

A team of researchers from Carnegie Mellon University has successfully developed a new dual-mapping technique that could help robots explore areas faster and more efficiently. By producing both a site’s high-and low-resolution map, this new technique enables robots to explore areas using only a fraction of the computing power typically needed for a similar task.
