Humans have employed AI to identify what’s in photos, create artificial faces, and even play video games . For the first time, AI has created a sport. Nvidia and a design agency called AKQA fed neural networks data about sports that already exist, and they . It’s called Speedgate, and it’s a mix of rugby, field hockey, soccer, and more. The team started with the rules for 400 of the world’s most popular sports — that’s more than 7,300 individual rules. That data passed through a recurrent neural network and a deep convolutional generative adversarial network. A recurrent neural network uses connections between the individual nodes to process sequences of inputs in time.
Killer is the first company out the door with new products based on Intel’s AX200. This is a major step forward for Killer — the company has faced criticism in the past over the reliability of some of its drivers and products. A switch to Intel hardware and driver stacks several years ago have solved many of these problems. This is Killer’s second iteration of its technology on Intel’s driver and hardware stack. Killer’s AX1650 is built on Intel’s AX200, which means the Killer AX165 packs the same goodies and capabilities as that solution would. The chip includes features like Killer’s Advanced Stream Detection, the Killer Intelligence Engine, and its own prioritization engine.

Paris’ iconic cathedral, Notre Dame, is burning. Construction began on the church in 1163; it was declared finished in 1345. While it’s been damaged and neglected at various points in its 800+ year history, the core of the building has always remained intact. The fire today could threaten that record. As of this writing, the cathedral spire and roof had already collapsed and significant damage was known to have been done to the inside of the church. The stone portions of the building may survive more-or-less undamaged, but the artifacts contained within, the stained glass, the organ that dates to 1738, and the various reliquaries could be a complete loss.
It’s possible some unknown group of hackers has been looking at your Microsoft email. has cautioned users of Outlook, MSN, and Hotmail email accounts that unidentified individuals gained access to an internal customer support account. That allowed them to view data in a large number of user accounts. The issue has been corrected, but it’s not clear how long the breach went undetected or exactly what the attackers could see. A source reached out to Motherboard several weeks ago with information about the breach, claiming that they’d accessed customer emails via leaked credentials for the Microsoft customer support portal.
For most of the time they’ve existed, it’s been difficult to examine FreeSync and G-Sync in a side-by-side equivalent configuration. The problem is, there have been so many variables to account for, making a declaration as to which is the better product has been intrinsically difficult. A new seeks to answer this question by putting two new monitors from the same company — AOC — head to head. The AOC Agon AG241QG is a new 24-inch G-Sync panel, while the AOC Agon AG241QX is a FreeSync panel. Both are TN panels running at 2560×1440. FreeSync support runs to 144Hz, while G-Sync runs to 165Hz.
It is not a matter of if but when a dangerously large asteroid ends up on a collision course for Earth, and NASA wants to be ready. The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) has been in development for several years, and now it’s got a real launch date with the awarding of a contract to SpaceX. DART will head into space to blast an asteroid in June 2021 aboard a Falcon 9 rocket. DART, which is part of NASA’s planetary defense research initiative, is under development at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. One of the most promising proposals to deflect an asteroid is with a kinetic impactor.
