Sylvester Stallone wants his daughters, Sistine, Scarlet and Sophia, to be ready for anything. In new clips from the second season of their Paramount reality series, "The Family Stallone," Stallone spoke about his two eldest daughters, Sophia and Sistine, moving to New York, calling it "traumatic" as he recalled his own experiences with robbery, car accidents, and more. "Since you guys have moved to New York, it's made me very uneasy. You know I'm paranoid anyway because I have a responsibility as a father to do everything I can," he told them early in the episode. The girls then joked about him being "the most paranoid person on the planet," with the youngest daughter Scarlet saying "he is crazy!"

Anyone who attends a media event in the technology space does their own reporting, draws their own conclusions. And we all shared the same experiences in a small bubble on Maui. But yes, a few years of struggling to convince the world that Windows on Arm (Qualcomm) could work, Qualcomm seems to be back on track in laptops, thanks to the Oryon CPU and the Snapdragon X Elite chip. Reporters (I, among them) headed to Maui with concerns that it would happen yet again. Qualcomm projected a sense of confidence in eye-popping numbers that could double Intel's performance in various categories.

When watching Tesla's humanoid Optimus robot debut at AI Day 2022, it's entirely fair to be skeptical about the company's ultra-ambitious plans. The prototype robot's shuffling gait paled to the exciting parkour and flips of Boston Dynamics' Atlas, and Tesla has missed many deadlines bringing its full self-driving technology to its cars. But I was at the AI Day event, and I'm here to advise you not to dismiss Tesla's sci-fi inspired vision. The company revealed abundant evidence that it's thinking deeply about a bipedal robot and the artificial intelligence technology needed to make it useful. And much of Tesla's track record of genuine achievements in electric vehicle engineering and manufacturing apply to Optimus.

You're at the wheel of your car but you're exhausted. Your shoulders start to sag, your neck begins to droop, your eyelids slide down. As your head pitches forward, you swerve off the road and speed through a field, crashing into a tree. But what if your car's monitoring system recognised the tell-tale signs of drowsiness and prompted you to pull off the road and park instead? The European Commission has legislated that from this year, new vehicles be fitted with systems to catch distracted and sleepy drivers to help avert accidents.

Artificial intelligence (AI) gained unprecedented attention within the hedge fund community in recent years. However, AI is not some new kid on the block. In fact, its roots go as far back as the 1940s when Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts first introduced the neural network. Today, it finds widespread use in applications from identifying images, speech, natural language processing to robotics and more. Similarly, the use of AI techniques for trading or investment is not a new idea either. But it was not successful in any big way in the earlier attempts. So why is everyone so excited about using AI for investments again? From my own lens, I attribute this to a confluence of technology advances and changing market dynamics. Our technology have improved by leaps and bounds over the years. My first encounter with a PC was an 8-bit Apple machine with a monochrome CRT monitor running on MS DOS. Then came machines with more powerful Intel processors.

If you want to understand what's happening with artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity, look no further than this week's news. On Monday, Palo Alto Networks introduced Magnifier, a behavioral analytics solution that uses structured and unstructured machine learning to model network behavior and improve threat detection. Additionally, Google's parent company, Alphabet, announced Chronicle, a cybersecurity intelligence platform that throws massive amounts of storage, processing power, and advanced analytics at cybersecurity data to accelerate the search and discovery of needles in a rapidly growing haystack. So, cybersecurity suppliers are innovating to bring AI-based cybersecurity products to market in a big way. OK, but is there demand for these types of advanced analytics products and services?

It is a far cry from the slick ads and flawless photography of Apple's latest products. Bonhams is set to auction an ad for Apple's first machine, the Apple-1. Handwritten by Steve Jobs, it offers a bare circuit board for the machine and a manual for $75, which Jobs declares'a real deal'. An instead of slick marketing images, there are Polaroids of bare circuits boards.

We have arrived at the time of year where everyone becomes obsessed with finding a Black Friday bargain. The National Retail Federation (NRF) revealed in their survey that retailers should expect more than 164 million consumers who are planning to shop over the five-day Thanksgiving weekend in the US alone. TV reporters and journalists will be eager to broadcast the darker side of human nature on Black Friday to fill the sadly familiar narrative. Will we once again shake our heads in disbelief at the sight of bargain hunters queuing for hours and wrestling fellow shoppers to the ground to get their hands on a shiny new TV? However, the annual shopping event is no longer just about buying a new tech gadget, and in many cases, it's the technology behind the scenes that is the real deal on display.

Rather than creating a whole 3D model, the agency has crafted a photorealistic version of the presenters and simply animated their facial features. Michael Wooldridge, a Professor at the University of Oxford, said the result is mixed. He explained: "It's quite difficult to watch for more than a few minutes. It's very flat, very single-paced, it's not got rhythm, pace or emphasis. "If you're just looking at animation you've completely lost that connection to an anchor." Noel Sharkey, a robotics professor at the University of Sheffield, was slightly more impressed. He said it was a "good first effort.

The number of undergraduate degrees in statistics has tripled in the past decade, and as a statistics professor, I can tell you that it isn't because freshmen love statistics. Way back in 2009, economist Hal Varian of Google dubbed statistician the "next sexy job." Since then, statistician, data scientist and actuary have topped various "best jobs" lists. Not to mention the enthusiastic press coverage of industry applications: Machine learning!Big data! But is it good advice?
