How to pre-order Google's Pixel 5, Nest speaker, and Chromecast

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

One week after Amazon rolled out their new line of Echo and Fire TV devices, Google announced slew of new devices, including the much-anticipated Pixel 5. Also new for 2020 is the completely redesigned Nest smart speaker, Nest Audio, and an upgraded Chromecast (now with Google TV). We're just as excited as you are to play with Google's new gadgets, but first to the important details. Here's everything you need to know about Google's new hardware--and how to pre-order before it all sells out. The Pixel 5 comes with wireless and reverse wireless charging, so you can use it to power up your Pixel Buds when you're on-the-go. Brand new to the Pixel lineup is Google's Pixel 5. It's water resistant, comes with 8GB of RAM, and a new ultra-wide lens on the back.


Google unveils Pixel 5, Chromecast and Nest Audio smart speaker

The Guardian

Google has announced four new additions to its own-brand hardware line including two new Pixel smartphones, a new Chromecast and Nest Audio smart speaker. The Pixel 5 is Google's new top phone, which slots in above the well received but heavily delayed Pixel 4a and the new Pixel 4a 5G, which also launches today. Announced during a live-streamed event, the new Pixel 5 replaces the Pixel 4 with a cheaper, simplified design, ditching its face recognition system for the older fingerprint scanner mounted in the back of the device. The new phone has a 6in 90Hz OLED screen with a selfie camera poking through a hole in the top left and a dual-camera setup with wide and ultra-wide lenses on the back, but no optical telephoto zoom camera. Differing from top-spec rivals, the Pixel 5 has Qualcomm's Snapdragon 765G mid-range processor, rather than the Snapdragon 865 used in the latest Samsung and OnePlus phones.


[R] Sparse GPU Kernels for Deep Learning

#artificialintelligence

Scientific workloads have traditionally exploited high levels of sparsity to accelerate computation and reduce memory requirements. While deep neural networks can be made sparse, achieving practical speedups on GPUs is difficult because these applications have relatively moderate levels of sparsity that are not sufficient for existing sparse kernels to outperform their dense counterparts. In this work, we study sparse matrices from deep learning applications and identify favorable properties that can be exploited to accelerate computation. Based on these insights, we develop high-performance GPU kernels for two sparse matrix operations widely applicable in neural networks: sparse matrix-dense matrix multiplication and sampled dense-dense matrix multiplication. Using our kernels, we demonstrate sparse Transformer and MobileNet models that achieve 1.2-2.1x


Language-Generating A.I. Is a Free Speech Nightmare

What in the name of Paypal and/or Palantir did you just say about me, you filthy degenerate? I'll have you know I'm the Crown Prince of Silicon Valley, and I've been involved in numerous successful tech startups, and I have over $1B in liquid funds. I've used that money to promote heterodox positions on human enhancement, control political arenas, and am experimenting with mind uploading. I'm also trained in classical philosophy and was recently ranked the most influential libertarian in the world by Google. You are nothing to me but just another alternative future. I will wipe you out with a precision of simulation the likes of which has never been seen before, mark my words.

10 Best Artificial Intelligence Apps Influencing Human Lives in 2020

#artificialintelligence

There is no surprise that artificial intelligence is taking the world by storm. The technology is increasingly being used across diverse business functions and revolutionizing all aspects of life and work. AI enables computers to learn from a voluminous amount of data to perform menial and complex tasks. Its applications have been of great value for both an organization or an individual, assisting them in doing their work with ease and getting things done on time. As AI is different from rule-based automation solutions and uses machine learning and NLP, this tech is expected to be as important for humans as electricity and the internet.


MARS-Gym: A Gym framework to model, train, and evaluate Recommender Systems for Marketplaces

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Recommender Systems are especially challenging for marketplaces since they must maximize user satisfaction while maintaining the healthiness and fairness of such ecosystems. In this context, we observed a lack of resources to design, train, and evaluate agents that learn by interacting within these environments. For this matter, we propose MARS-Gym, an open-source framework to empower researchers and engineers to quickly build and evaluate Reinforcement Learning agents for recommendations in marketplaces. MARS-Gym addresses the whole development pipeline: data processing, model design and optimization, and multi-sided evaluation. We also provide the implementation of a diverse set of baseline agents, with a metrics-driven analysis of them in the Trivago marketplace dataset, to illustrate how to conduct a holistic assessment using the available metrics of recommendation, off-policy estimation, and fairness. With MARS-Gym, we expect to bridge the gap between academic research and production systems, as well as to facilitate the design of new algorithms and applications.
