Agency reports 235 ransomware attacks on Canadian targets this year, half of which were key infrastructure providers.
The James Webb Space Telescope is confirmed for the target launch date of December 24, at 7:20 a.m. EST.
Late on December 17, teams at the launch site successfully completed encapsulation of the observatory inside the Ariane 5 rocket that will launch it to space. Webb’s final launch readiness review will be held on Tuesday, December 21 and, if successful, roll-out is planned for Wednesday, December 22.
In August, NASA released beautiful footage captured by Perseverance rover of Deimos, the smaller of Mars’ two moons.
We suggest an interpretation of quantum mechanics, inspired by the ideas of Aharonov et al. of a time-symmetric description of quantum theory. We show that a special final boundary condition for the Universe, may be consistently defined as to determine single classical-like measurement outcomes, thus solving the “measurement problem”. No other deviation is made from standard quantum mechanics, and the resulting theory is deterministic (in a two-time sense) and local. Quantum mechanical probabilities are recovered in general, but are eliminated from the description of any single measurement. We call this the Two-time interpretation of quantum mechanics. We analyze ideal measurements, showing how the quantum superposition is, in effect, dynamically reduced to a single classical state via a “two-time decoherence” process.
In this paper we present the two-state vector formalism of quantum mechanics. It is a time-symmetrized approach to standard quantum theory particularly helpful for the analysis of experiments performed on pre-and post-selected ensembles. Several peculiar effects which naturally arise in this approach are considered. In particular, the concept of “weak measurements’’ (standard measurements with weakening of the interaction) is discussed in depth revealing a very unusual but consistent picture. Also, a design of a gedanken experiment which implements a kind of quantum “time machine’’ is described. The issue of time-symmetry in the context of the two-state vector formalism is clarified.
Datasets in AI and machine learning contain many flaws. Some might be fixable, according to experts — given enough time and resources.
Now their company, Sanas, is testing out artificial intelligence-powered software that aims to eliminate miscommunication by changing people’s accents in real time. A call center worker in the Philippines, for example, could speak normally into the microphone and end up sounding more like someone from Kansas to a customer on the other end.
Call centers, the startup’s founders say, are only the beginning. The company’s website touts its plans as “Speech, Reimagined.”
Eventually, they hope the app they’re developing will be used by a variety of industries and individuals. It could help doctors better understand patients, they say, or help grandchildren better understand their grandparents.
He rules Twitter, the EV market and the commercial space race. Where can Time’s Person of the Year even go in 2022?
Yiran Sherry’s waters broke while the family was stuck in traffic. With contractions increasing rapidly and traffic barely moving, the couple realized they were not going to make it in time.
Keating Sherry placed the vehicle on autopilot after setting the navigation system to the hospital, 20 minutes away in the western suburb of Paoli.
He said he laid one hand gently on the car’s steering wheel as he attended to his wife.
During NeurIPS 2021, seven quantum computer scientists from Amazon came together to discuss the current state of quantum computing, some of the biggest challenges facing the field, and what the future might hold.
