"Dimension 404" has been compared to "Black Mirror," but it seems the two shows may have more differences than similarities. "Dimension 404" and "Black Mirror" were both inspired by "The Twilight Zone," and they both tackle issues related to technology. For this reason, the two shows have been compared to each other, but they have a distinct difference. For one, Hulu's new science fiction drama is not as dark as Netflix's show. "Dimension 404" aims to give a lighter take on the science-fiction-horror genre.

Facebook's latest feature makes it easier for you to work out which of your friends tend to stalk your updates online. At the end of March, the social network introduced Stories, a feature that lets you share pictures and short videos that automatically disappear after 24 hours. However – also like Snapchat – Facebook Stories keeps track of the friends who have viewed your updates, gathering their names in a list that only you can see. It's the first time the site has provided such insight to users. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on what you use the site for), this doesn't extend to things like profile visits and photos.

Lord Martin Rees says machines could take over from humans within a few centuries and go on to enjoy billions of years of supremacy. The Astronomer Royal and Emeritus Professor of Cosmology and Astrophysics at the University of Cambridge pointed out that we still don't understand the origins of life, but will likely learn more about it over the next ten to 20 years. However, he believes that that alien intelligence, if it does exist, could be electronic and nothing like humans. 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. The giant human-like robot bears a striking resemblance to the military robots starring in the movie'Avatar' and is claimed as a world first by its creators from a South Korean robotic company Waseda University's saxophonist robot WAS-5, developed by professor Atsuo Takanishi and Kaptain Rock playing one string light saber guitar perform jam session A man looks at an exhibit entitled'Mimus' a giant industrial robot which has been reprogrammed to interact with humans during a photocall at the new Design Museum in South Kensington, London Electrification Guru Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart talks about the electric Jaguar I-PACE concept SUV before it was unveiled before the Los Angeles Auto Show in Los Angeles, California, U.S The Jaguar I-PACE Concept car is the start of a new era for Jaguar.

The Big Data Industry Summit 2016 was held in Guiyang, Guizhou province, on May 25, 2016. A special statistical modeling competition was going on in a well-decorated office in northwestern Beijing. The participants were a line of secretaries, human resource officers and marketing and public relations staff who knew nothing about the basics of coding and computer programming. They were all employees of 4Paradigm, a three-year-old startup founded by Baidu Inc's former principal IT architect and backed by global venture capital powerhouse Sequoia Capital. The company has been dubbed by investors the Chinese answer to the US big data firm Palantir.

The relationship may have faded long ago, but the intimate images you shared have not. If you're lucky, your ex deleted them. If you're not, the photos have sprouted up online. Victims of such non-consensual posts, often referred to as "revenge porn," now have some help in preventing their spread: On Wednesday, Facebook announced new artificial intelligence tools designed to keep such content, once flagged, off its site for good. "It's wrong, it's hurtful, and if you report it to us, we will now use AI and image recognition to prevent it from being shared across all of our platforms," Mark Zuckerberg, the social network's founder and chief executive, said in a Facebook post.

OITA – With forestry workers growing older, Oita Prefecture has embarked on a "smart forestry" initiative to reduce workloads, partly through the use of drones. Forests cover 72 percent of the prefecture, with most of them cultivated plantations. Despite the use of mechanization for cutting down trees, planting still involves hard physical work, including climbing mountain slopes while carrying nursery trees weighing up to 30 kg. Forestry association workers are currently the local industry's main workforce, but 44 percent of them are 60 or older. Young people are reluctant to join their ranks, due partly to the physical labor.

Google has finally released the technical details of its its Tensor Process Unit (TPU) ASIC. Surprisingly, at its core, you find something that sounds like its inspired by the heart and not the brain. It's called a "Systolic Array" and this computational device contains 256 x 256 8bit multiply-add computational units. A systolic array is not a new thing, it was described way back in 1982 by Kung from CMU in "Why Systolic Architectures?" Just to get myself dated, I still recall a time when Systolic machines were all the rage. Unlike other computational devices that treats scalar or vectors as primitives, Google's TPU treats matrices as primitives.

The Amazon Fire TV Stick has just been treated to an upgrade, pushing the best cheap streaming device on the market even further ahead of the competition. It was launched in the US some time ago, but has only just come to the UK, and brings with it a number of improvements that make it well worth buying, even if you already own an Amazon Fire TV Stick. Its headline feature is support for Alexa, Amazon's excellent voice assistant. This doesn't just enable users to track down TV shows, films and apps much, much faster than ever just by speaking to the voice-controlled remote, but also to accurately control playback without having to fiddle with any buttons. 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.

Fifty billion connected devices and still no winning protocols standards. HTTP, WebSockets, MQTT, and CoAP seem to be leading in the IoT protocol race at the moment but many more protocols are getting introduced on a regular basis. Each protocol has its pros and cons depending on the nature of the communications. Does there really need to be only one protocol to rule them all? In his session at @ThingsExpo, Chris Matthieu, co-founder and CTO of Octoblu, walked through how Octoblu solved this problem by building an open source, cross-protocol IoT M2M instant messaging platform utilized by thousands of users and companies to allow disparate devices to communicate seamlessly with each other and other platforms.

Google Home has just launched in the UK, and it's immediately offered a glimpse into an extremely bright future. It's a direct rival to the much-lauded Amazon Echo, and is designed to provide users with help around the house. Inside the box, you'll find a power cable, instructions and the Google Home device itself. For such an alien-looking thing, it's actually really easy to set up. All you need to do is plug it into your mains and hook it up to your home Wi-Fi network and Google account via the free Google Home app on your phone.
