Google’s School time feature is coming to Android smartphones

Google is support for its School time feature to more hardware. School time allows parents to limit functionalities on a child's devices during predetermined hours. That might be the time they are in classes or for any period where an adult wants to limit screen time. Parents will be able to use the Family Link parental controls app to set School time hours on their kids' select Android phones, tablets and Samsung Galaxy Watches. However, Google hasn't shared any further specifics about which devices in those categories will receive this update. The tool was originally launched on the Fitbit Ace…

Stability AI speeds up 3D image generation with Stable Fast 3D

Stability AI speeds up 3D image generation with Stable Fast 3D

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More Not all that long ago, it used to be hard, really hard to generate 3D images. It was a process that involved complex wireframes, complicated software and beefy hardware. Today that’s no longer the case. Stability AI today announced a new generative AI technology called Stable Fast 3D to rapidly generate 3D images from a single image. Oh, and it’s fast too. According to Stability AI, the new model can generate a 3D image in half a second. This represents a…

Photos capture the moment Americans released in a historic prisoner swap touch down on US soil

Photos capture the moment Americans released in a historic prisoner swap touch down on US soil

The Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, former US Marine Paul Whelan, and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty journalist Alsu Kumasheva touched down at Joint Base Andrews on Thursday night.The trio were greeted by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris after being freed from detention in Russia as part of a massive multi-country prisoner swap, the largest exchange in post-Soviet history.Whelan was the first to disembark on Thursday. The Marine veteran was arrested and jailed by Russia in 2018 on espionage charges.Whelan's brother, David, previously expressed disappointment after Whelan wasn't included in a 2022 prison swap, which saw the…

Evaluating Transfer Learning in Deep Learning Models for Classification on a Custom Wildlife Dataset: Can YOLOv8 Surpass Other Architectures?

Evaluating Transfer Learning in Deep Learning Models for Classification on a Custom Wildlife Dataset: Can YOLOv8 Surpass Other Architectures?

arXiv:2408.00002v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Biodiversity plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem. However, poaching and unintentional human activities contribute to the decline in the population of many species. Hence, active monitoring is required to preserve these endangered species. Current human-led monitoring techniques are prone to errors and are labor-intensive. Therefore, we study the application of deep learning methods like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and transfer learning, which can aid in automating the process of monitoring endangered species. For this, we create our custom dataset utilizing trustworthy online databases like iNaturalist and ZooChat. To choose the…

Gemma 2: Improving Open Language Models at a Practical Size

Gemma 2: Improving Open Language Models at a Practical Size

arXiv:2408.00118v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this work, we introduce Gemma 2, a new addition to the Gemma family of lightweight, state-of-the-art open models, ranging in scale from 2 billion to 27 billion parameters. In this new version, we apply several known technical modifications to the Transformer architecture, such as interleaving local-global attentions (Beltagy et al., 2020a) and group-query attention (Ainslie et al., 2023). We also train the 2B and 9B models with knowledge distillation (Hinton et al., 2015) instead of next token prediction. The resulting models deliver the best performance for their size, and even offer competitive alternatives to…

Intel plans to lay off 15% of workforce — at least 15,000 people

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More Intel announced that it will lay off 15% of its workforce as part of a broad $10 billion cost-reduction program. Chief among these cost cuts is an announcement it would cut 15% of its staff by the end of 2024. The company said it had 125,300 employees as of June 29, and so that could mean 18,795 layoffs. (A spokesperson said the number is great than 15,000). The big chipmaker made the announcement as it posted lackluster earnings today. Second-quarter revenue…

Zelenskyy says Russia is giving up on Kharkiv, months after Moscow tried to blow open the war’s northeastern front

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Wednesday that Russia has moved its focus away from Kharkiv and to the eastern front, with fighting intensifying near the city of Pokrovsk.In an interview with French media, Zelenskyy said Russian forces are now "throwing everything they have" at Pokrovsk."The main objective today, after their failure to capture Kharkiv, which we understand is no longer feasible, has shifted," said Zelenskyy, according to a translation by Ukrainian outlet Pravda."Their primary focus is no longer the entire east, though Sloviansk is not excluded," he added, referring to a city in northern Donetsk that borders the Kharkiv…
