iOS 11 release date: When the new iPhone software will be released, and how to get hold of it early

The Independent - Tech

But you can get your hands on it a lot earlier. The new operating system will bring with it a range of new features, for both new iPhones and iPads and old ones. Those include new ways of syncing messages between phones, and payment services so that people can pay each other from within messages. And Siri is getting a major upgrade too – getting more powers and a far more natural voice. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.


What Theresa May needs to do if she's going to regulate the internet

The Independent - Tech

Theresa May fiercely criticised technology companies in the wake of the London Bridge terror attack, but can't expect to achieve anything by making "one-sided" appeals, says a cybersecurity expert. She accused tech firms of providing terrorists with "safe spaces" online, and has called for the internet to be regulated. However, Ms May needs to ensure the protection of citizens' rights, before attempting to point the finger of blame at others.

Tekken 7 review: The king has returned

The Independent - Tech

Street Fighter V, Injustice 2, the upcoming ARMS -- there's no shortage of excellent fighter games available on this generation's consoles. Now, the king has returned. For many gamers, the Tekken series will no doubt hold a special place, particularly the third -- released on Playstation for the home market -- which quickly became one of the console's best-selling and reviewed games. Further instalments have never quite reached those same heights, often becoming overly complicated, the cast of characters being less loveable. The main story, concerning the Mishima family, has also become increasingly confusing, something of a deterrent for those looking to further into the game.


A Research to Engineering Workflow

@machinelearnbot

Keeping one section per file makes it easy for multiple people to work on separate sections simultaneously and avoid merge conflicts. Some people prefer to write the full paper after major experiments are complete. I personally like to write a paper more as a summary of the current ideas and, as with the idea itself, it is continually revised as experiments proceed.


IBM and Samsung build one of the smallest computer chips

Daily Mail - Science & tech

IBM, working with Samsung and GlobalFoundries, has built the world's first five-nanometre silicon chip. The tiny chip could have a range of uses, including in artificial intelligence (AI) systems, virtual reality and mobile devices. Power savings could also mean that batteries in smartphones and other mobile products will last three times longer than today's devices. IBM, working with Samsung and GlobalFoundries, has built the world's first five-nanometre silicon chip. The groundbreaking research will enable finger-nail sized chips with 30 billion transistors.


Physicists squeeze extra data from superfast X-ray probes using machine learning

Chemical reactions could be probed in even greater detail using a method invented by Imperial researchers that better characterises ultrafast X-rays. X-rays can be used to investigate the structures of, and reactions between, molecules on very small scales and at high speed. To do this, scientists use free electron lasers (FELs) to create a train of X-ray pulses. This allows researchers to probe some of the fundamental processes in chemistry and biology – such as the mechanisms of photosynthesis and the reactions of amino acids, which are the building blocks of life. However, FELs are inherently unstable, meaning the properties of the resulting X-rays can vary from one pulse to the next.


Personalizing Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Tech companies and start-ups are spending a lot of time these days developing products, refining machine learning and adding personalization capabilities to their smart gadgets. "Almost every product can benefit from AI (Artificial Intelligence), lighting, purification, cleaning--everything that you see in a room needs AI," James Dyson, founder of British tech giant Dyson, said at the launch of their new research facility in Singapore in February. AI is being used everywhere--from headphones, speakers and toothbrushes to robots. Chances are, your next tech purchase could be very intelligent. Kuri, developed by US-based Mayfield Robotics, uses an army of cameras and sensors to roam around your home. It will avoid all obstacles, such as furniture, and its speakers and microphones will allow you to check on parents, children, pets, and home safety in general, from anywhere in the world through your phone.


Apple reveals iOS 11 won't work on older iPhones and iPads

The Independent - Tech

A number of current iPhone and iPad owners won't be able to use the next version of Apple's mobile operating system. The company announced iOS 11 at its latest developer conference, teasing its plans for the future of the iPhone. However, it's now been confirmed that several of the company's devices aren't in line for the big update. That means these devices will be stuck on iOS 10, the current version of the operating system, which will stop receiving important security and performance updates from Apple, leaving them potentially vulnerable to bugs and glitches. If you own an iPhone 5, iPhone 5C or fourth-generation iPad, now's the time to consider either upgrading to a newer model or switching to another platform, like Android or Windows.


iOS 11: Apple iPhones will stop people receiving texts while they are driving

The Independent - Tech

Your iPhone is going to start hiding messages, for your own good. Apple has announced that iOS 11 will introduce a special mode – "Do Not Disturb for Driving" – that will look to stop people getting distracted by messages from their phone. The update will come in the new software, released this autumn, and is intended to avoid people endangering themselves and other road users by looking at their mobile. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.

We need to talk about how artificial intelligence can manipulate humans

#artificialintelligence

We have all read about artificial intelligence becoming smarter than us, a future in which we become like pets and can only hope AI will be benevolent. My experience watching tens of millions of interactions between humans and artificial conversational agents, or bots, has convinced me there are far more immediate risks--as well as tremendous opportunities. From 2007 to 2014 I was CEO of Cognea, which offered a platform to rapidly build complex virtual agents, using a combination of structured and deep learning. It was used by tens of thousands of developers, including half a dozen Fortune 100 companies, and acquired by IBM Watson in 2014. As I studied how people interacted with the tens of thousands of agents built on our platform, it became clear that humans are far more willing than most people realize to form a relationship with AI software.
