The willingness to try new foods is sexually desirable, study claims
If you're hoping to be successful on a dinner date, be more adventurous when choosing from the restaurant menu, a new study suggests. Researchers in Pennsylvania have found that people who are open to try new foods are perceived as more sexually desirable and less sexually restricted. Meanwhile, a reluctance to try new foods โ known as'food neophobia' โ and sticking to the safe option on the menu is perceived as something of a turn-off. A willingness to engage in trying something new at the dining table could be a'cue' for a willingness to have an intimate experience with someone new as well, the experts suggest. Interestingly, this pattern is specific to willingness to try new foods, not general willingness to try other new things, like hobbies, music or TV shows, they report.
Google banning 'sugar dating' apps as part of new changes coming to Play Store
Google has banned "sugar dating" apps as part of a broad range of changes to its Play Store rules. Such apps allow people to find others to engage in "compensated sexual relationships", as Google puts it, wherein one party will pay someone to date them. Such apps and sites have become popular across the internet. There are a host of apps on the store with the name "Sugar Daddy", for instnace, and many more with more specific names. Many of them are explicit about what they are aiming to do, with one named Spoil offering to help people "find other wealthy sugar daddies who are looking for a discreet arrangement, and you can also meet other attractive girls who are looking for generous men", as PhoneArena notes.

9 Examples of Machine Learning in Action
The term "machine learning" makes it sound like computers will solve problems for us without much human guidance. But, some fascinating careers are paving the way for artificial intelligence to help us all out in our daily lives and at work. Machine Learning Engineers and Data Scientists that specialize in machine learning get to work in pretty diverse industries. That's one of the best things about a career in programming or data science -- you can take those skills just about anywhere. It also means that you can work in a field that excites you or one in which you feel like you're making a positive contribution.
MONDAY MINDSET: How Artificial Intelligence is Changing Business in 2021 - Austin Technology Council
In 2021, Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer merely a genre of cult Sci-Fi movies. Without many of us even noticing, AI has become an integral part of our everyday lives. Alexa, Siri, Cortana), we are surrounded by AI, even if we don't always realize it. In today's blog, let's review some of the most important examples of AI in business. Artificial intelligence is the "simulation of human intelligence," usually using some form of machine processing and learning designed to emulate the human brain.
Northern accents are dying out and could DISAPPEAR BY 2066
From the approachable Geordie dialect to the instantly recognisable Liverpool lilt, many of England's most distinctive accents are from the north. But a new study has warned that northern accents could all but disappear in just 45 years. Using physics modelling, researchers from the Universities of Portsmouth and Cambridge predicted how accents are likely to change across England by 2066. Their findings suggest that northern accents could be replaced with'posh' south eastern pronunciations. However, certain north-south differences are predicted to remain - we will continue to disagree about the pronunciation of bath', according to the researchers.
Harnessing the benefits of AI
Google search, Facebook news feed, Amazon product recommendations are obvious examples of digital services used by billions of consumers everyday that successfully leverage Machine Learning (ML)ยน. In fact you could say that the stellar growth these companies have experienced over the last decade or more just would not be possible without it. The internet giants have each conquered specific segments of consumers' daily digital lives and are now an ever-present habit for billions of people around the world. Google enables people to discover knowledge and information about products, places and things. Facebook enables people to engage with friends who have similar interests and stories.
How to build your own AI-powered voice assistant
Ever wondered how Google assistant and Siri can speak with us exactly like humans. This is the magic of Deep Learning. So without wasting time let's jump directly to the topic. The above diagram will help you to get an overview of how the process happens inside the voice assistant. First I will explain each process in-depth and in the end, I will summarise the entire process with the help of an example.
Music Genre Classification using Machine Learning
What is powering the onslaught of Artificial Intelligence in every industry across the world? In very simple words, you teach the machine how to derive results. The results purely depend on algorithms used and the data that is poured to train/teach the machine. Machine learning is being used to power recommendation systems, audio/video classification software, autonomous driving, and many more industrial processes. There are 97 million songs in the world, now these are just the songs that are documented.
