Meet the wild new Snapdragon laptop built for agentic AI: '100 times faster than human thought' Details of the new Horizon Pro laptop aren't wholly known, but it was unveiled at Qualcomm's Snapdragon Summit. Humain has unveiled the Horizon Pro PC, a laptop powered by agentic AI and a Snapdragon chip that the company claims "can operate 100 times faster than human thought." The laptop, powered by a first-generation Snapdragon X Elite processor from Qualcomm, was shown using Windows 11 at the Snapdragon Technology Summit, hosted by Qualcomm in Maui. Humain chief executive Tareq Amin said that the Humain One software would officially launch on October 27 at Saudia Arabia's Future Investment Initiative, an investment conference hosted in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.


Sanders charges U.S. drone strike that killed Afghan children was 'unacceptable'

FOX News

Fox News anchor Bret Baier offers analysis on that and other breaking news stories, on'Your World'. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont is calling the U.S. drone strike in Afghanistan that mistakenly killed seven children "unacceptable." The comments by Sanders, the progressive champion and runner up to now-President Biden in the race for the 2020 Democratic nomination, comes in the wake of an acknowledgment by the Pentagon that the attack was a "tragic mistake." At the time of the August 29 attack, the Pentagon said the strike had targeted an Islamic State suicide bomber amid the U.S. led evacuation of Americans and Afghan allies at Kabul's international airport, during the final days of the U.S. withdrawal from the warn torn Central Asian nation. The head of U.S. Central Command, Marine Corps General Frank McKenzie, the head of the U.S. Central Command, said that at the time he was confident the drone strike took out averted an imminent threat to U.S. forces at the airport. But reports of civilian causalities quickly emerged and U.S. military leaders later concluded that the strike killed 10 civilians, including seven children.


'Horizon' upgrade mess seals the deal: PlayStation 5 title upgrades will be $10

Washington Post - Technology News

These various upgrades raise the question: Just how valuable are the lines of codes that distinguish a PS4 or PS5 version of otherwise the exact same content? It's not a question customers should be expected to answer, especially this early in the console generation. For now, Sony has an answer: That'll be $10. The remaining questions include how developers will now address that $10 value attached to upgrading to a PS5 version, and whether that consistency and price is reasonable enough to keep players of both PS4 and PS5 happy.

The robotics work programme implements the robotics strategy developed by SPARC, the Public-Private Partnership for Robotics in Europe (see the Strategic Research Agenda). EuRobotics regularly publishes video interviews with projects, so that you can find out more about their activities. The project aims at aligning roboticists' visions of a future with robots with empirically-based knowledge of human needs and societal concerns through a new proximity-based human-machine ethics that take into account how individuals and community connect with robot technologies. At the core of these guidelines is the concept of collaborative learning, which permeates all aspects of REELER and will guide future SSH-ICT research. Integrating the recommendations of the REELER Roadmap for responsible and ethical learning in robotics in future robot design processes will enable the European robotics community to addresses human needs and societal concerns.

A Target Classification Decision Aid

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

A submarine's sonar team is responsible for detecting, localising and classifying targets using information provided by the platform's sensor suite. The information used to make these assessments is typically uncertain and/or incomplete and is likely to require a measure of confidence in its reliability. Moreover, improvements in sensor and communication technology are resulting in increased amounts of on-platform and off-platform information available for evaluation. This proliferation of imprecise information increases the risk of overwhelming the operator. To assist the task of localisation and classification a concept demonstration decision aid (Horizon), based on evidential reasoning, has been developed. Horizon is an information fusion software package for representing and fusing imprecise information about the state of the world, expressed across suitable frames of reference. The Horizon software is currently at prototype stage.
