Exploring the Power and Potential of SBC Board Computers

11/30/2024 Guest Post

Key Takeaways: Single Board Computers (SBCs) integrate all essential computing components on a single circuit board, reducing size and power consumption. SBC technology has evolved from DIY projects to commercial use in industries like automotive and healthcare. Popular SBC platforms such as Raspberry Pi and Arduino have fostered a community of creators, educators, and innovators. SBCs are used in diverse applications, including robotics, IoT, smart home systems, and creative art installations. Key performance metrics to consider when selecting an SBC include CPU speed, RAM size, storage options, and connectivity. There…

Artificial intelligence - Wave hitting side of ship

An oceanographer in Canada says that a machine-learning model could predict the “rogue waves”. An oceanographer from the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada, has published new research indicating that artificial intelligence could be used to predict “rogue waves”, a dangerous natural phenomenon that threatens the lives of sailors on the ocean. The waves have baffled scientists working to try to predict them due to the risk they pose to sailors. The new research involves the use of a machine-learning model of artificial intelligence that is able to predict…

Apple doesn’t like the term artificial intelligence, though it does love machine learning

At this year’s WWDC, the company avoided AI as a subject at all, though did reference machine learning. Based on technology trends already taking off at an explosive rate, it was natural to think that artificial intelligence would be a major topic of focus at the WWDC, but that was not exactly the case. Presenters were not at all inclined to discuss AI, though “machine learning” did have its mentions. At no point during the Apple WWDC did presenters bring up artificial intelligence, which appeared to be the exact opposite…

The State of the Internet of Things in 2023

01/10/2023 Guest Post

The State of the Internet of Things in 2023 with each other seemed the next logical step after the explosion of the internet and improvements in both internet speeds and reliability. This reality has not panned out yet, and it might seem that it is doomed. But is it, or have we achieved what we sought to do without realizing it? Big Challenges The biggest challenges to IoT lie in what it intended to do. To ensure the connected world it envisioned, we need to deploy a high level of…

Intel’s FakeCatcher deepfake detector uses blood flow to spot fakes

11/25/202211/23/2022 John Montgallo

The system spots blood flow in the pixels of a video or image to determine whether or not it is real. Intel’s FakeCatcher deepfake detector has achieved a 96 percent accuracy rate in real time by using blood flow in the pixels of an image or video to determine if it is real. Skillfully and believably altered video and images are now all over the internet. Deepfake videos and images are synthetic media that alters a person’s face, voice, or both in order to generate an entirely new falsified image…
