That’s impressive. Volvo’s not the only company that relies on Zuul. Others include BMW, GoDaddy, Workday, and NTT Group. Why with so many continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) programs such as Jenkins, CircleCI, and TeamCity, it is no surprise that Zuul is so popular with Fortune 500 companies. Mark Collier, OpenInfra’s COO, explained, “Zuul became a marquee CI/CD project because it grew out of both the needs of the OpenStack project being so massive and the need for testing changes in it....

By combining machine vision with learning capabilities, roboticists are opening a wide range of new possibilities like vision-based drones, robotic harvesting, robotic sorting in recycling, and warehouse pick and place. We’re finally at the inflection point: The moment where these applications are becoming good enough to provide real value in semi-structured environments where traditional robots could never succeed. To discuss this exciting moment and how it’s going to change the world we live in fundamentally, I connected with Pieter Abbeel, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, where he is also the director of the Berkeley Robot Learning Lab and co-director of the Berkeley AI Research lab....

However, you can get around this geo-blocking with a VPN. The problem isnot all VPNs are up to the task. Many of them may slow down your connection which gives you a frustrating streaming experience with a lot of buffering. I tested all the major VPNs on the market and made a list of the best VPNs for watching DIRECTV. My favorite is ExpressVPN, which I found to be the best value VPN for streaming DirectTV....

Ultimaker PVA Removal Station Supports are a necessary but frustrating element of additive manufacturing. When it comes to filament printers, the molten filament string can span only so much distance before it droops or falls. In the case of resin printers which generally print upside down, objects that need to hang over empty space need supports to hang from. One advanced way of dealing with supports in FDM printing is to use a dual filament printer....

We don’t really articulate what we know, in other words. The signature achievement of artificial intelligence in the past two decades is classifying pictures of cats and dogs, among other things, by assigning them to categories. But AI programs never explain how they “know” what they supposedly “know.” They are the proverbial black box. A recent innovation from Google’s AI researchers seeks to provide an answer as to how AI knows such things....

You shouldn’t try. It’s far too hard and human beings are far too capricious, hyprocritical and plain infuriating. Still, some time in the past, a Samsung customer expressed their thoughts about the (then) new Galaxy Z Fold 2 and I have a feeling the company kept it imprinted on its soul. Leaping to the people’s forum, Reddit, the customer – handle flamo-damo – offered: “This is the worst phone I’ve owned....

Air Force careers in cyber and IT The Air Force uses alphanumeric codes called Air Force Specialty Codes, or AFSCs, to categorize and identify military jobs....

Alibaba has been under fire from Chinese regulators. China’s government has been reining in its tech giants and many of them have been whacked in the US market. For the first quarter, Alibaba reported revenue of RMB205.74 billion ($31.86 billion), up 34% from a year ago. Net income was RMB45.14 billion ($6.99 billion) and non-GAAP earnings were $6.46 billion. On an adjusted basis, the company earned 16.60 yuan per share....

The preferred method for gaining targets is spear phishing, with the group sending around 5,000 emails a day, and setting up similar domains with different TLDs – such as using example.co for example.com users – in an effort to fool those on the receiving end. It also began with fake personas, but recently started ripping publicly available data from sites like RocketReach and CrunchBase to impersonate users. The group also used public file-sharing sites including TransferNow, TransferXL, WeTransfer, or OneDrive to pass payloads onto users and make it harder for defenders to detect, since the sites are legitimate....

Other tech companies are similarly pushing back plans to open their offices as Covid-19 cases once again surge. Earlier this week, Microsoft said it was once again pushing back the earliest date for the full opening of its US worksites to October 4. Google is also extending its voluntary work-from-home policy through late October. Both Google and Microsoft will start requiring workers to be vaccinated before coming into the office....

The results land after strong results from Intel, which is expanding its foundry business. AMD is benefiting from gaining share in the data center as well as PCs. The company reported second quarter earnings of 58 cents a share on revenue of $3.85 billion, up 99% from a year ago. Non-GAAP earnings were 63 cents a share. Wall Street was expecting AMD to report second quarter revenue of $3.62 billion with non-GAAP earnings of 54 cents a share....

The Instinct MI200 delivers up to a 4.9x boost in high-performance computing than existing data center GPUs, AMD says. The company also claims it’s the fastest for AI training, delivering up to 1.2x higher peak flops for mixed-precision performance. The accelerator contains 58 billion transistors produced with 6nm technology. This allows for up to 220 compute units, which increases compute density by over 80% compared to the MI100. It’s also the world’s first GPU with 128GB of HBM2E memory....

Instead, the update focuses on privacy improvements, such as limiting which photos an app has access to. With the second developer preview, Google is adding even more privacy features to Android 13. Apps are now required to request permission in order to send notifications. While not a direct privacy feature, it’s certainly one that’s long overdue on Android. Even apps that haven’t been updated to Android 13’s runtime will have a system dialog, making notification permissions a staple feature of Android 13, regardless of how old the app is....

Along with patches in iOS 16.3 and macOS Ventura this week, Apple released a rare patch in the iOS 12.5.7 update to protect iOS devices that couldn’t upgrade to iOS 15 when it was released in September 2021. These include the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, and iPod touch (6th generation). The update addresses a bug that can be exploited remotely to gain arbitrary code execution on an affected iPhone or iPad just by leading a victim’s browser to a maliciously crafted web page or web content....

Interest in this accessory surprises me because this isn’t a particularly new bit of kit. Debuting in December 2020, a lot of water has gone under the tech bridge since it was first released. I’m putting the renewed interest down to there being more people now who own both a MagSafe-enabled iPhone and an Apple Watch. That said, it is, in my opinion, the best iPhone and Apple Watch wireless charger around....
