After successful tests of three subcomponents by the British company, now comes the hardest part: putting it all together.
We’ve officially come full circle.
But the site’s cybersecurity measures appear to be lacking.
Several other Nifty Gateway users reported that their accounts had been hacked. “My entire account was just hacked and the person who got in wasn’t even booted after changing my password?!” one user wrote in a tweet.
According to a Nifty spokesperson who spoke to Motherboard, the company was aware of the fraudulent activity. The company claims the affected users didn’t have two-factor authentication turned on and that “access was obtained via valid account credentials.”
Japan’s space agency wants to keep the satellite’s cameras out of military hands.
An unusual geopolitical situation is brewing aboard the International Space Station. Prior to the military coup in Myanmar earlier this year, Japan’s space agency JAXA had been collaborating with the country to build microsatellites that it planned to deploy in partnership with Myanmar’s government.
Now, JAXA has no idea what to do with the pair of 50-kilogram satellites, according to SlashGear. And while Japanese scientists hope to bring the agriculture and fishery-monitoring satellites to life, they’re currently holding them on the ISS instead of deploying them out of fear they might be misused for military purposes — a striking example of real-world geopolitics spilling over into space.
After the military coup in Myanmar, Teppei Kasai, the Asia program director for the group Human Rights Watch noted that it would be relatively straightforward to use the satellites’ Earth-facing cameras for military or surveillance purposes, according to SlashGear.
With powerful engines, near-photorealistic graphics, and the ability to build incredible, immersive worlds, it’s hard to imagine what the next big technological advance in gaming might be.
Based on a recent tweet by Neuralink co-founder and President Max Hodak, the word might not even apply. In it, he hinted — vaguely, to be fair — that whatever forms of entertainment get programmed into neural implants and brain-computer interfaces will represent a paradigm shift that moves beyond the current terminology.
“We’re gonna need a better term than ‘video game’ once we start programming for more of the sensorium,” Hodak tweeted.
Working with the Navajo Nation NASA is naming landmarks and discoveries by the Perseverance rover using the Native American language.
The idea of using light for computation is far from new, dating back to the 1950s. But electronic computing proved more practical to develop and commercialize. In the 1980s, Bell Labs tried to create a general purpose light-based chip, but it failed due to the difficulty of building a working optical transistor.
Lightmatter says its chips can be dropped into an existing data center and work with most major AI software. Later this year the company plans to launch a new technology for connecting chips, including those made by other companies, using its photonic technology. Light is widely used to shuttle information between computers, using fiber-optic cables.
Harris argues that AI will hit a wall in the next few years because of rising costs and energy use, and because of engineering constraints on the horizon. As engineers try to cram more transistors into a chip to speed up performance, chips may get too hot to manage.
WASHINGTON — Stefanie Tompkins on March 15 assumed the top post at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
Tompkins is DARPA’s 23rd director.
She is a former military intelligence officer in the U.S. Army and previously worked at DARPA for nearly a decade. From 2007 until 2017 Tompkins served as program manager and deputy director of the agency’s Strategic Technology Office, DARPA chief of staff, as director of the Defense Sciences Office and as the acting deputy director of the agency.
The cryptomining protections have been bypassed using Nvidia’s own drivers.
Nvidia’s latest beta drivers unlock RTX 3060 Ethereum cryptocurrency mining. This is likely a mistake from Nvidia, as the company was trying to nerf mining performance with the RTX 3060.
The proposed bill would ban trading, mining, and even holding cryptocurrencies.
