HBO is only available in the US. So what if you’re not within US borders? You’ll run into geoblocks, because HBO traces IP addresses and restricts viewers from other countries. Don’t worry. You’re here for a reason and I’m here to help. If you’re outside the US, you can still enjoy The New Pope by using a VPN. How, you ask? With a VPN, you’re able to choose a US server, which tricks HBO’s geoblocking technology into believing that’s your actual location, and you bypass geo-restricted content like The New Pope easily....

My wife and I had been debating about whether to adopt a cat. There wasn’t complete agreement. Or any, really. Suddenly, I received an email whose subject line was so promising: “A lifelike robot cat powered by AI, because why not?” Why not, indeed? Everything will soon be robotic, to one extent or another. Even our very selves. Why not see what it’s like to live with a being that is, according to its makers, “a lifelike pet designed to offset loneliness for the elderly and provide companionship for couples, children, and families....

CodeFlare was built on Ray, an open-source technology from UC Berkeley. It builds on Ray with specific elements that make it easier to scale workflows. Using a Python-based interface for pipelines, CodeFlare makes it easier to integrate, parallelize and share data. This helps unify pipeline workflows across multiple platforms without requiring data scientists to learn a new workflow language. While IBM says CodeFlare pipelines run easily on its new serverless platform IBM Cloud Code Engine and Red Hat OpenShift, developers can deploy it just about anywhere....

The former will focus on high-performance computing and also graphics technology, while the latter will “drive Intel’s vision for software,” the company said. Former VMware CTO Greg Lavender will head the new software unit, while Raja Koduri, an intel vice president who has been running the company’s GPU strategy, will become head of the Accelerated Computing unit. In addition, Intel said veteran networking business unit Sandra Rivera, will run the company’s data center products, including Xeon chips and field-programmable gate arrays....

The new authority should help SpaceX meet “the growing user demands that now require connectivity while on the move,” wrote FCC International Bureau Chief Tom Sullivan in the approval, “whether driving an RV across the country, moving a freighter from Europe to a U.S. port, or while on a domestic or international flight.” Earlier this year, Starlink began selling Starlink for RVs, but the service wasn’t designed to work on the move....

While many people will focus on the new features, what’s also interesting is how the iPhone 14 fits in with Apple’s wider strategy – something that’s pretty clear when you look at some of the data. SEE: iPhone 14 Pro vs. iPhone 13 Pro: Is the newest iPhone worth the upgrade? Right now, it seems that Apple’s strategy of focusing the high end of the smartphone market continues to work: according to data from tech analysts Canalys, Apple has extended its dominance at the top of the market in recent years....

Companies are pouring billions into projects to upgrade their processes, and in some cases their entire business models, with digital technologies. But not all of those projects are ending in success. A study polling 500 IT decision makers at some of UK’s largest organisations, commissioned by software company Citrix, has found that 85% of them believe past experiences with major digital transformation projects are important, noting that the experience gained from former projects impacted how they viewed and approached similar initiatives today....

The average adult can, with relative ease, perceive a doorknob, reach out and grasp it, turn it, and open the door. The same task is still incredibly hard to engineer for even the most sophisticated robotic armatures using cutting-edge deep learning AI approaches. By contrast, and equally surprising, machines have surpassed scientists’ expectations at tasks that are hard for a human. After about 500 years of development by humans of the game of chess, a machine built by DeepMind called AlphaZero was able, in a matter of a couple of years, to develop to a point where it could defeat all human grandmasters, and also beat them at an even older game, Go....

Bringing those world’s together has been a five-decade career. “It’s matching the algorithmic characteristics of more mathematical things with the practicalities of the hardware, you’re trying to exploit that architecture to get the highest performance possible,” Dongarra explained in an interview with ZDNet via Zoom. Wednesday, that career was celebrated by The Association for Computing Machinery, which awarded Dongarra its highest honor, the 2021 ACM Turing award, for “major contributions of lasting importance,” the computing industry’s equivalent of the Nobel....

Microsoft promises the new method for updating Microsoft 365 apps will mean “zero notifications, zero disruptions” to users and will reduce the need for forced updates. “Update under lock” tries to shut down Office apps when its safe to do so and then apply a pending update. It then restores closed apps to their previous state. All this should happen in seconds, according to Microsoft. SEE: Four ways to get noticed in the changing world of work This should be useful when an employee leaves an incomplete Office document open overnight but locks their device until returning to finish it the next day....
