Safari's'Siri Suggested Websites' feature has been serving up links to conspiracy theories. If users typed a term like'Pizzagate' into Apple's browser, the feature would point users in the direction of a video titled'Pizzagate, Biggest Scandal Ever' by conspiracy theorist David Seaman, according to BuzzFeed. The issue, which occurred for other popular (and debunked) conspiracy theories, has since been resolved by Apple. Safari's'Siri Suggested Websites' has been serving up links to conspiracy theories. If users type'Pizzagate' into the browser, it would point them to a YouTube video promoting the theory MailOnline has reached out to Apple for comment.

Evaluating the computational reproducibility of data analysis pipelines has become a critical issue. It is, however, a cumbersome process for analyses that involve data from large populations of subjects, due to their computational and storage requirements. We present a method to predict the computational reproducibility of data analysis pipelines in large population studies. We formulate the problem as a collaborative filtering process, with constraints on the construction of the training set. We propose 6 different strategies to build the training set, which we evaluate on 2 datasets, a synthetic one modeling a population with a growing number of subject types, and a real one obtained with neuroinformatics pipelines. Results show that one sampling method, "Random File Numbers (Uniform)" is able to predict computational reproducibility with a good accuracy. We also analyze the relevance of including file and subject biases in the collaborative filtering model. We conclude that the proposed method is able to speedup reproducibility evaluations substantially, with a reduced accuracy loss.

From virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa, to chatbots created by Facebook and Drift, AI is having a significant impact on the lives of consumers. A study from Statista showed that the number of consumers using virtual assistants worldwide is expected to exceed one billion in 2018. Additionally, a 2018 survey by Accenture projected that 37 percent of U.S. consumers will own a digital voice assistant (DVA) device by the end of 2018. It is readily apparent how AI-powered technology is making inroads into everyday life through DVAs and other consumer products, but AI is also having a transformative effect on an industry that impacts virtually all consumers and businesses: banking. Here are five ways that AI is already transforming the banking industry.

Let me preface this review by revealing a few facts about myself. I am male, aged 75 years old, and more tech savvy than most people my age, but if you can use a modern computer, and own one, you should have not problem using this device. IT IS SO FAR, MIRACULOUS, and intriguing! I bought mine about a week ago, and waited till a couple days ago to jump in with "both feet" and set it up. Even though I once did computer tech support for Dell computers, It was a long time ago now, and a lot of tech has evolved since then, and i have the same fear of new things as most people my age, though admittedly higher skills.

Of all the new technologies that have come into existence in recent years like blockchain, augmented reality, and virtual reality, one has had a bigger impact than most: voice technology. Thanks to developments in artificial intelligence (AI) voice tech has become one of the most exciting and accessible forms of new tech. Now, one in 10 people in the UK own a smart speaker, with smart assistants being the major draw. Take Google's smart assistant, named the Google Assistant for example. You can use it to help you buy products from Argos, tell you the weather across the world and it can even play games with your children.

Amazon announced so many new hardware products last week that it's hard to know which one will respond the next time you shout "Alexa!" in your house. Perhaps not surprisingly, the Alexa-equipped microwave sucked up a lot of the (electromagnetic) air in the room: not only does the $60 microwave work indirectly with Alexa, but it knows when you're running out of popcorn. But the most interesting home product to emerge from the pile of Echo products last week wasn't the microwave. It was the new Echo Show. It's a glimpse of Amazon's vision for the TV of the future--whether that's streaming video, over-the-air television, or casual games played on a large screen.

Not to be outdone by Amazon's deluge of hardware announcements last week, set-top box maker Roku is readying two new, low-cost streaming video boxes. Along with the new hardware, Roku is going to work with Google Assistant voice control to make it easier for users to find all the streaming content available for bingeing. Roku said in a briefing last week that it's adding two new 4K streaming boxes: the Roku Premiere and Roku Premiere . These boxes have a similar form factor to Roku's Express line; they're tiny pieces of hardware, much smaller than the remote they ship with, and are so lightweight they come with a strip of tape so you can stick them to your entertainment console. But these tiny Rokus stream 4K HDR video, pack quad-core processors, and come with updated firmware that the company says contributes to a smoother streaming experience.

Yale and August are no stranger to the smart lock; both companies have done various versions of it before, often with the assistance of third parties like Google's Assistant or Amazon's Alexa. Today, however, the two are actually coming together -- thanks to the purchase last year -- to come up with a new line of keypad smart locks that they say is one of the most secure on the market. What's especially intriguing is that it's compatible with three personal assistants -- Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant -- so you can choose whichever suits your fancy without having to commit to one. The two new models are the Assure Lock SL, which is a touchscreen keypad, and the Assure Lock Touchscreen that also has a regular key access. The look of the new locks look a lot like the Nest x Yale models, which makes sense since they're made by the same company.

Robot vacuums equipped with mapping offer a host of advantages over sensor-driven models. Their high price tags, however, can be a deterrent, especially if you're not yet sold on automating this household chore. Enter the Ecovacs Deebot 901, which fills a needed niche. It's a robot vacuum with premium features like floor mapping and Google Home and Amazon Alexa voice control, yet it's priced for more modest budgets. It measures 13.9 x 13.9 x 3.3 inches, with about an inch or so of its overall height coming from the LDS (laser distance sensor) turret that sits atop the vacuum's rear.

The Indian edition of dating app Tinder is trialing a new feature which gives women an additional level of scrutiny and security before they allow men to start messaging conversations, with a view to rolling the function out globally. The'My Move' feature allows women to choose in their settings that only they can start a conversation with a male match after both have approved each other with Tinder's swiping function. Normally, the app gives both parties to a successful match - where both have swiped yes on the other's photograph - the right to text each other immediately. The'My Move' feature allows women to choose in their settings that only they can start a conversation with a male match after both have approved each other with Tinder's swiping function. Tinder has been testing the function in India for several months and plans to spread it worldwide if the full rollout proves successful.
