We’ve now had a week with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 and some thoughts have formed. While we’re doing our tests and completing the review, we had a few watercooler thoughts about the new foldable. So here’s our early impressions. Samsung played it too safe with the Galaxy Z Fold5 Once you get to a certain successful point, you can only do so much to improve without risking alienating your existing customers. Samsung made leaps in the four generations of Galaxy Fold leading up to the Z Fold5 – strengthening the build, adding water resistance, and perfecting the ultra-thin glass.…

When a self-driving car is involved in an accident, its data tells the story—which can be essential for crash investigators to determine who or what was at fault, as well as for automakers to apply lessons learned to make their self-driving systems smarter and safer. In 2004, IEEE Standards Association introduced IEEE 1616, setting the ground rules for the types of data, and the amount, collected by automobile event data recorders (cars’ answer to the black boxes in aircraft). In the nearly 20 years since this standard was established, however, vehicles have become more electronics-intensive, with the addition of high-tech…
Today, more than ever before, our world is in a state of technological acceleration. Leaders need all the expert insight they can afford in order to make decisions and enact strategies capable of serving the individuals who depend upon them for guidance. Horasis, an independent, international think tank founded in 2005 by Frank-Jürgen Richter, understands the demand for such insight as it aims to provide the leaders of emerging economies access to ideas built to fuel sustainable innovation. With that said, Horasis’ recent announcement that Sajid Mohamedy, Executive Vice President at Nisum, will be joining the organization’s Advisory Board should come as…
In short, the tentacles of US tech firms are everywhere—vaccines, food, cancer research, psilocybin centers, criminal justice reform, homelessness—the list could reach the moon. (Speaking of the moon, how could we forget commercial spaceflight?) And the AI boom is likely to further expand tech firms’ power and riches. Yet on Capitol Hill, some powerful Republicans are focused on one goal: ensuring American AI dominance.On this front, Rubio generally sees any new regulation as a needless-to-harmful constraint on US technology giants and their AI experiments. One near-universal takeaway from the briefings is that America can’t afford to be number two.“You’re dealing…

Coinbase claims that, because it doesn’t deal in securities, the SEC has no authority over its operations. “Our core argument is simple — we do not offer ‘investment contracts’ as that term has been construed by decades of Supreme Court and other binding precedent,” Coinbase’s chief legal officer Paul Grewal . “By ignoring that precedent, the has violated due process, abused its discretion and abandoned its own earlier interpretations of the securities…

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Just a few years ago, Berkeley engineers showed us how they could easily turn images into a 3D navigable scene using a technology called Neural Radiance Fields, or NeRF. Now, another team of Berkeley researchers has created a development framework to help speed up NeRF projects and make this technology more accessible to others. Led by Angjoo Kanazawa, assistant professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences, the researchers have developed Nerfstudio, a Python framework that provides plug-and-play components for implementing NeRF-based methods, making it easier to collaborate and incorporate NeRF into projects. Kanazawa and her team…
243 After the storm passes and the flood waters subside, there is a new disaster that many Americans must navigate in 2023 – the brave new world of insurance. The headlines are hard to ignore.

And that is leaving homeowners and businessesowners — from Florida to California to Louisiana to Georgia — to rethink if they can afford to not relocate. And those who have been hit by a storm are forced to deal with…

The CEO not only talked about how Amazon Web Services is powering a number of generative AI applications but also the company-wide focus on the new technology. Jassy added that the generative AI initiatives range…
