Frequently called cognitive computing or machine learning, artificial intelligence is essentially computers executing tasks customarily performed by individuals. In basic terms, AI innovation works by applying a measure of test information and results, beforehand inspected by an expert, to a cognitive system. The system is then ready to use information at rapid rates to deliver a speedier and more precise outcome. AI displays its own set of risks – including innovation or algorithm errors, and inaccurate applications. This basic structure has lead to a global anxiety about automation. Artificially intelligent robots could replace law enforcement, could be the next big…
We’ve discussed the Hyperloop extensively in the past. The broadband of transportation was ‘open-sourced’ by Elon Musk, allowing multiple companies to compete for the same technology. Hyperloop One is one of them, and it is set to redefine commute for Indians by bringing it to the country. Quick Recap Hyperloop is an altogether new ‘mode’ of transportation – a category of its own, much like aircrafts and ships and road vehicles. It is land based travel at air based speed, with the capacity that of a train for the price of a bus ticket. While it does sound like a flight of fancy…

There are two kinds of photography. One, where you intend to show what something looks like exactly, and the other – which is art. Art has no rules. But I strongly feel the art of photography should be limited to the piece of art that you produce through your lens and through the photoshop software tools. While it’s clear that photo-manipulation in photojournalism or field where you claim the originality of the photographs is strictly unethical, how ethical is it for photography as an art form? With the fast changing world of technology, the definition of photography is changing. Earlier, photography used…
With faster smartphones, and access to faster mobile data, it has become much easier for music lovers to dig up information on any song they hear around them, with just a touch of a button on music ID apps. SoundHound and Shazam are top two contenders in this space. Shazam released in 2002 and was bought by Apple in 2018 while SoundHound came later in 2005, both having originated from the United States. We compared these music-recognition or music identification apps on several grounds for you to find out which one fits your needs if you’re ever torn on picking…
“…Cause we are all made of stars” aren’t just lyrics to Moby’s song. There’s some scientific reality to them as well. You may have been one of of those kids who was told people become stars when they die. Science probably doesn’t think that’s true. But I can assure you that it’s legitimate the other way around. Stars became us after they died. Sounds bizarre if you don’t have an astrophysics background, but this is accurate. Carl Sagan, an American astronomer, cosmologist and astrophysicist, dived into a lengthy explanation in his TV series “Cosmos” in the early 1980s. What is the “star stuff” Carl talks about?…
Big cities are familiar with traffic congestion. Ask the people from such urban areas how traffic congestion has affected their personal lifestyle. And congestion isn’t unique to developing economies or poorly planned urban areas – you’re going to hate traffic in Delhi or Mumbai, and you’re going to hate traffic in New York too. Elon Musk, who happens to spit out world changing ideas as frequently as on random trips to the washroom, is now frustrated with congestion to the point that he’s almost serious about doing something about it. He suggests underground tunnels. Lots of them. Traffic is driving me nuts.…
