The macbook pro 16" and iMac (pro) will probably come out next summer. According to rumors the next SoC will double the amount of cores. While this probably won't translate to a 2x speed up it will be significant. At first the tradeoff will be more GPU ram for slower speeds compared to Nvidia but I expect Apple to catch up quickly. Their current Neural Engine, which is an ASIC on the M1, has 11 tflops.

In a year where Radio City is shuttered by the pandemic, Netflix's Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey is the closest thing we have to a big Christmas spectacular. It's a cross between The Greatest Showman and Cats, bundled in shiny Christmas wrapping paper, with none other than John Legend as one of the minds behind the many songs packed into its two hours. At the center of that festive mishmash is an inventor named Jeronicus Jangle, a sentient doll, and a robot that, like Tinkerbell, is powered by belief. However, unlike Cats, David E. Talbert's movie is a coherent, compelling story that doesn't require booze or any other form of pre-gaming to be fully enjoyed. It's the filmic equivalent of the high that comes from eating way too many candy canes and drinking way too much hot chocolate.

Creative individuals push the boundaries of what's possible. They do this with original ideas and unique perspectives on the world around them. Creatives, more often than not, also rely on advancements in technology to help them bring their visions to life. If you're a photographer, filmmaker, content creator or anyone else who works in visual media, you can take your creativity to new heights with a pair of eyes in the sky. Luckily for you, that's exactly what you get with this roundup of drones.

Ratings can determine a film's appeal to consumers and the size of its potential audience. Thus, they have an impact on a film's bottom line. Typically, humans do the tedious task of manually rating a movie based on viewing the movie and making decisions on the presence of violence, drug abuse, and sexual content.

Artificial Intelligence is showing its tremendous effect in various industries, markets, and services. Moreover, the creative industry and the art world have not been able to use this technology fully. However, two experts devised a platform for further reference. Using the latest technology, they allow creators, expert film designers, and video creators from the movie and music industries to use artificial intelligence algorithms in their work. It is Runway, a platform that integrates machine learning and the benefits of artificial intelligence for innovation.

In September 2019, four researchers wrote to the publisher Wiley to "respectfully ask" that it immediately retract a scientific paper. The study, published in 2018, had trained algorithms to distinguish faces of Uyghur people, a predominantly Muslim minority ethnic group in China, from those of Korean and Tibetan ethnicity1. China had already been internationally condemned for its heavy surveillance and mass detentions of Uyghurs in camps in the northwestern province of Xinjiang -- which the government says are re-education centres aimed at quelling a terrorist movement. According to media reports, authorities in Xinjiang have used surveillance cameras equipped with software attuned to Uyghur faces. As a result, many researchers found it disturbing that academics had tried to build such algorithms -- and that a US journal had published a research paper on the topic. And the 2018 study wasn't the only one: journals from publishers including Springer Nature, Elsevier and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) had also published peer-reviewed papers that describe using facial recognition to identify Uyghurs and members of other Chinese minority groups. The complaint, which launched an ongoing investigation, was one foray in a growing push by some scientists and human-rights activists to get the scientific community to take a firmer stance against unethical facial-recognition research.

The Star Wars brand has been extended to a creative, block-based platform -- and no, we're not talking about Lego this time. The Star Wars DLC pack is available now in Minecraft, featuring a new map, skin pack, texture set, mobs and item reskins, a fresh UI, and original soundtrack and sound effects. It also unlocks ridable vehicles like speeders and X-Wings. The Star Wars Minecraft bundle includes characters and locations from A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and The Mandalorian. It features 12 planet dioramas connected by Hyperspace travel, including Tatooine, Endor, Hoth, Nevarro and Sorgan.

Addressing climate change is everyone's responsibility and AI has the potential to make a significant impact, yet only a fraction of organizations are actively using this technology to its full potential,

Not only do these not work, but even if they did, what difference would it make? AI can't determine facts in real time so these systems either search for human-curated keywords and phrases or just compare the website publishing the questionable article to a human-curated list of bad news actors. Much like pornography, most of us know it when we see it. Unlike porn however, nobody in big tech or the publishing industry seems to be interested in censoring fake news.
