Alphabet Jigsaw (formerly Google Ideas) officially unveiled this morning their new tool for fighting toxic speech online, appropriately called Perspective. Powered by a deep learning model trained on more than 17 million manually reviewed reader comments provided by the New York Times, the model assigns a score to a given passage of text, rating it on a scale from 0 to 100% similar to statements that human reviewers have previously rated as "toxic." What makes this new approach from Google so different than past approaches is that it largely focuses on language rather than ideas: for the most part you can express your thoughts freely and without fear of censorship as long as you express them clinically and clearly, while if you resort to emotional diatribes and name calling, regardless of what you talk about, you will be flagged. What does this tell us about the future of toxic speech online and the notion of machines guiding humans to a more "perfect" humanity? One of the great challenges in filtering out "toxic" speech online is first defining what precisely counts as "toxic" and then determining how to remove such speech without infringing on people's ability to freely express their ideas.

After what feels like months of waiting, Nintendo's newest console - the Nintendo Switch - is almost here. The console makers have very kindly sent The Independent a console before release, the above video showing our unboxing. A few notes: the Switch is the first console to be charged by a standard cable, the USB-C, a new form of USB port that is gradually growing in popularity. Second, the Joy-Con controllers do not charge through the included grip. Instead, users will have to buy a separate, chargeable grip.

"We put in cameras and robots and obtained valuable images, though they were partial . . . "We first need to know the situation of the debris." Last month, the utility inserted a 10.5-meter rod with a camera on its tip into a hole in the No. 2 reactor's primary containment vessel and discovered black lumps sticking to the grating directly underneath the suspended pressure vessel, which holds the core. Tepco claims it is still unsure whether the lumps are really melted fuel that burned through the bottom of the pressure vessel. Although it is still years away from actually trying to remove the fuel, Tepco, the government and related parties are planning to decide on a basic strategy this summer and go into more detail next year.

Insurance companies will need to offer two types of protection for self-driving cars in the UK, to cover times when the vehicle is driving itself and times when a human driver is in control, according to government proposals. The plans, which are detailed in the Vehicle Technology and Aviation Bill, enable drivers involved in an accident to claim compensation if the incident took place when their car was driving autonomously. Under the rules, insurers would be able to try to recover their costs from the vehicle manufacturers.

The Centre Valbio research station, a modern building of stone and glass set in the jungled hills at the edge of Madagascar's Ranomafana National Park, was starting to look like the third season of The Wire. Big tackboards lined the walls, each one covered with dozens of pinned-up photographs. Some images were grouped together in families, while others floated alone, unconnected. It was 2012, and Rachel Jacobs was using Detective McNulty-style tactics to sort out the associations in a very different kind of crew: the park's population of red-bellied lemurs. A biological anthropologist, Jacobs was studying how color vision evolved in lemurs, which meant keeping track of more than 100 animals.
