"Anti-selfie»: how the Poparazzi app opens up a "new era" for social media

- мая 31, 2021

"Anti-selfie»: how the Poparazzi app opens up a "new era" for social media Poparazzi is a new social network that has gained popularity just three days after launching in the US. Paparazzi users try on the role of paparazzi and take photos of their friends. At the same time, you can't crop, edit, caption, or apply filters to the photo — it must be natural. As many analysts say, Poparazzi is a "new era" for social networks. The service is based on the idea of "anti-selfie" - users should imitate the paparazzi and take photos exclusively of other people without the use of filters and photo editors. The app does not allow the user to use the front-facing camera, make captions for the publication, and crop the photo. Also, the number of subscribers is not visible in the service, but there is a number of views. A user's profile consists of two sections: photos taken by the user and photos taken by other users.

In the UK, passenger planes want to replace airships And all this for the sake of environmental friendliness

- мая 31, 2021

In the UK, passenger planes want to replace airships And all this for the sake of environmental friendliness The network has information about the plans of the British startup Hybrid Air Vehicles. The company wants to replace passenger planes with airships with a capacity of 100 people. They can be used at least for short-distance flights. It is reported that Hybrid Air Vehicles has set itself such an unusual goal, wanting to reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere. According to The Guardian, representatives of the startup are sure that the airship is ideal for flights from city to city within one country. Also, this type of transport may be appropriate when traveling between neighboring countries. The speed of flights will not suffer much. So, if by plane the journey from Liverpool to Belfast across the Irish Sea takes about 4.5 hours (taking into account the check-in time), then in the case of an airship, the same distance will be covered in 5 hours and 20 minutes.

Japan will send a robot transformer to the Moon The 8-centimeter robot weighs only a quarter of a kilogram and it is not difficult to "throw" it to the moon So far, little is known about the Japanese space robot-it is still under development. According to the images and data provided in the JAXA press release, the design is a sphere with a diameter of 80 mm, which should move on the lunar surface on two wheels. "The transformable lunar robot will be ultra-compact and ultra-light, which will allow you to move in harsh lunar conditions," JAXA said. The tiny size of the robot and its small weight of 250 grams make it much easier to deliver it to the moon. Therefore, it is expected that such devices will be actively used in future lunar research missions.

The Morpheus processor cannot be hacked – it changes its architecture dozens of times per second

- мая 31, 2021

The Morpheus processor cannot be hacked – it changes its architecture dozens of times per second In 2017, the defense agency DARPA sponsored the University of Michigan for $3.6 million to work on the "Morpheus"computer processor project. Three years later, it was ready and large-scale tests began with the involvement of accredited hackers and information security specialists. Of the 525 participants, none managed to crack the chip because it changed its architecture every 0.1 seconds. The concept turned out to be fully functional, none of the experienced specialists were able to find an approach to this form of protection. The downside was a 10% slowdown in the processor compared to its counterparts, but DARPA believes that this is an acceptable price for reliability and security. The further development of the project will be the adaptation of its technologies for cloud storage.

- мая 31, 2021

Google develops Starline - a system for 3D video calls with the effect of full presence The goal of the project is to add the effect of almost complete presence to video calls, when subscribers who are thousands of kilometers away from each other communicate as if through glass, while being in the same room. The project combines three key technologies – creating a 3D model of the subscriber, compressing data during transmission in real time, and visualizing the 3D image and voice at the other end of the"wire". From the video published by Google, it follows that this system consists of several cameras, sensors and a large display located inside the stand. So far, Starline operates only in a few offices of the company, but by the end of the year, corporate demo samples will be installed.

Insiders revealed the design of the new Apple smartphone The appearance of the new generation of iPhone, recreated on the basis of information leaks, is revealed on the Web. The upcoming iPhone 13 Pro features a significantly reduced screen cutout. Allegedly, in Cupertino, they still listened to users who consider the "bangs" an archaic solution against the background of the diversity in the world of Android smartphones. Externally, the case will resemble the current iPhone 12 Pro-a glossy coating of metal ends, frosted glass back panel and sharp corners. But the design of the camera unit will change, which will smoothly pass into the cover of the smartphone. But its three sensors, according to insiders, will retain a resolution of 12 MP. The main sensor is credited with a light-sensitive lens with an f/1.5 aperture with seven plastic lenses. The pro version of the iPhone 13 will receive an LTPO display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz.

The idea of robots whose roles can dig underground settlements on Mars is proposed

- мая 31, 2021

The idea of robots, swarms of which can dig underground settlements on Mars, is proposed A team of researchers from the Delft University of Technology has proposed a plan to build residential settlements in the depths of Mars. For excavations, scientists suggest using swarms of robots. Underground settlements, according to scientists, will protect people from micrometeorites, radiation and other potential hazards. The settlement process will involve excavating the regolith and printing elements of the new habitat on a 3D printer. For the construction on Mars, the university's robotics laboratory chose the shape of a spiral going deep into the Earth. This design will be stable, safe and will take up a minimum of space. The researchers have only prepared a demonstration of the technology so far; additional work and funding is required for the idea to become the concept of a real mission. The university believes that if successful, robot swarms and 3D-printed habitats will play a ke...

The brain implant allows you to feel the object that the roboruk takes

- мая 31, 2021

A team at the University of Pittsburgh conducted a two — year study in which a young man who was paralyzed from the neck down learned how to control a robot arm using brain implants. Now scientists have added sensory feedback to the implant, which allows you to feel everything that the robot hand touches. Tests showed that the sense of touch dramatically increased the performance of the subject. The average time to complete the sequence of actions of lifting-moving-throwing an object decreased, and in about half of the cases, the difference was statistically significant. During the time it took the participant to complete nine tasks with the sensor system turned off, he was able to complete more than a dozen with the active system. The experiments have so far been conducted with only one participant, and the team will have to scale the study to multiple subjects.
