Google lets you move music around its smart speakers with 'Stream Transfer' feature
Using voice assistants is part of the company's Made at McDonald's campaign, meant to amplify the opportunities a career at the company can create. Google has a new way for you to move music around the room. Just say "Hey, Google" to start a song on one speaker and finish it on another. The company calls the new tool "Stream Transfer," and it's rolling out today. The idea is that you would say, "Hey, Google, play Happy by Pharrell Williams," and the song would begin playing on your Google Home speaker.
A fictional robotic velociraptor's AI brain and nervous system - WebSystemer.no
On screen, the grey skinned velociraptor twitches and spasms, trying to hurl itself to its feet under the command to rise. A thousand parallel iterations live in their simple digital worlds, trying to find a path to standing up. One manages, briefly, then collapses again. Hundreds of the iterations are abandoned, and the ones that were closest spawned again into a thousand dreams of a standing robotic dinosaur. Eventually, one succeeds in lunging to its feet and staying erect. The neural net that learned to stand survives. The rest disappear into the ether. This article continues the exploration that David Clement and I are making into machine learning via Plastic Dinosaur, a robotic velociraptor guided by neural nets. It's a fictional exercise to introduce and play with concepts of robotics and machine learning, and to explore aspects of where machine learning is today.
