Tesla ditches radar sensors on self-driving systems. Photo: Getty Images No company in the auto industry can attract as much attention as Tesla, on the one hand because of CEO Elon Musk’s controversial statements, on the other hand, because Tesla regularly makes “unusual” decisions. “. At the end of May, Tesla once again became the focus of public opinion, and this time not because of a “brake failure”, but a configuration change. Recently, Tesla announced that starting in May, Model 3 and Model Y in North America will no longer be equipped with sensor radar, cancel the millimeter wave radar in front of the vehicle and only use the camera as a receiver. data collection of automatic driving systems. This means that Tesla is poised to be the first car company to deploy a “pure vision” autonomous driving solution. Meanwhile, other self-driving car manufacturers are integrating radar, LiDAR and cameras in autonomous driving systems. In fact, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has always been adamant against LiDAR, even repeatedly criticizing LiDAR in public. He thinks this is an expensive, unnecessary technology. Even Elon Musk has called those who believe in LiDAR technology “stupid” and car manufacturers using LiDAR technology will never achieve success. So, why is Musk so adamantly “disliked” LiDAR and even all radars, and only favors a camera technology solution? To clear this up, we may need a basic understanding of autopilot schematics. Camera and LiDAR To build a set of automated driving system solutions, the automatic driving algorithm is of course inseparable. In order to achieve calculations, sufficient information is required first. During driving, the vehicle’s information collection source is the large and small sensors on the body of the vehicle. Among them, to realize autonomous driving, the most important sensors are the camera and LiDAR (must add millimeter wave radar and ultrasonic sensor, of course). Therefore, the autonomous driving system is divided into camera-based vision array and LiDAR array. “Camera-based vision” uses a high-definition camera incorporating an image recognition algorithm, while LiDAR to ensure system stability. The camera array, or pure visual diagram, is essentially a complete simulation of the state of a person driving a car, first seeing the image with the “eye (camera)”, then transmitting it to the “brain (processor)” for processing and judgment, and then give the action “Legs (steering mechanism)”. In addition to Tesla, Chinese companies including Jikrypton and Baidu have also adopted pure vision solutions. LiDAR technology uses a laser to measure distances and build a 3D map of an object, by emitting and receiving the laser’s feedback and then analyzing that data to produce the desired results. Many Chinese car companies including Xiaopeng, Weilai, BAIC ARCFOX, and many other new products also announced this solution. Which solution is better? The advantage of the “pure vision” solution is that the video data captured by the camera is the closest to the real world perceived by the human eye, and also the closest to the form of human driving. At the same time, with LiDAR prices currently very high, a pure vision solution using only the camera should be easier to control costs. Tesla’s pure vision algorithm analysis is already very strong. In addition, the image obtained by the camera is well suited for object identification and classification, in case the algorithms are excellent, it can remove confounding items and enable automatic learning during driving. car. However, as a visual algorithm similar to the human eye, the camera is easily affected by light, in harsh weather or poor lighting conditions, it is easy to cause misjudgment. Previously, when AutoPilot was turned on, Tesla models accidentally braked automatically when going over an overpass or under a normal bridge, due to the algorithm using a sudden ball in the camera as an obstacle. Rendering a 3D environment map drawn by LiDAR Compared with pure vision solution, the advantages of LiDAR solution are longer monitoring distance, higher accuracy, more sensitive response speed and unaffected by ambient light. LiDAR’s three-dimensional information processing, object size calculation, and movement speed are more efficient. However, LiDAR has problems such as weak object recognition, high cost, and accuracy in extreme weather conditions such as rain and snow. Therefore, LiDAR must be used in conjunction with other sensors to ensure safe driving. In addition, the collection of large amounts of data requires high computing power of the processor, which equates to an increase in the cost of the media processor. Theoretically, the combination of camera-based vision and LiDAR is a relatively complete solution today, but after combining many factors such as existing technology and product cost, it is too difficult to use. use a “third solution” that integrates these two major solutions. Tesla’s trade-off The cost of LiDAR is much higher than high quality cameras. In fact, abandoning LiDAR, and even now abandoning millimeter wave radar, one of the key reasons Tesla made such a choice was to achieve lower costs. After all, the cost of LiDAR is very high, the price of this technology in the early days started at 100,000 USD, but now with the development of the electronics industry, its price has decreased but basically remains the same. maintained at several tens of thousands of dollars. However, compared to high-definition cameras, the price of only a few hundred dollars is still much higher. However, besides cost, Tesla also has technical trade-offs. First of all, LiDAR does not determine the specific nature of the object, so it is easy to cause wrong judgment. For example, if a large plastic bag appears in front of the vehicle, the camera solution may recognize it as a plastic bag and ignore it, but LiDAR will judge it as an obstruction and stop the vehicle. Second, millimeter wave radar also has many limitations. The detection range of millimeter wave radar is directly limited if the band is weak. It cannot identify pedestrians nor accurately model all surrounding obstacles. At the same time, due to the large amount of data obtained, it will also consume precious computing power of the processor. Finally, for Tesla, the best company in imaging solutions, they have invested heavily in imaging algorithms. To give up the large accumulation so far, and turn to another path, in terms of input – output ratio, it can be said that it is not worth it. Tesla is loyal to a completely camera-based vision solution Tesla Vsion camera system. On Tesla’s official North American website, during the introduction of Full Self-Driving FSD, the performance information of the millimeter wave radar was removed and only the image sensor and ultrasound. At the same time, Tesla also released the driver monitoring system on May 28. The Model 3 and Model Y vehicle cameras can monitor the driver’s behavior when the Autopilot system is activated, detecting and reminding the driver to keep his or her attention. Tesla states that “camera data will be stored in the vehicle, and the system will not send the data back to the company unless the user gives permission to share the data”. In addition, Tesla’s FSD V9.0 autopilot system will also be officially launched this year. According to Musk’s earlier statement, the FSD algorithm has been “refactored” to achieve pure vision through 8 cameras around the body, while effectively solving the previous “brake failure” problem. Tesla also warned that Autopilot and FSD systems would be less effective during this technical adjustment period. “During a short period of transition, Tesla Vision vehicles may experience some limitations or inactivity, such as Autosteer being limited to a top speed of 120.7 km/h. , Smart Summon (if equipped) and Emergency Lane Avoidance may be disabled during delivery,” Tesla’s announcement reads. Whether LiDAR will win the market with a secure advantage in the future, or a camera-based vision algorithm dominates the market with a lower cost advantage, the answer is still unclear. However, judging from the information currently available, Tesla will choose to stick with a pure vision solution.

The new digital currency Chia consumes a lot of hard drives. Photo: Guardian The Guardian (UK) reported that American businessman Bram Cohen created a digital currency called Chia. Accordingly, Chia aims to be more advanced than Bitcoin and Ethereum in reducing the energy consumed to mine. Cryptocurrency mining often depends on high power consuming computers to handle complex algorithms. However, Chia requires the user to spend a large amount of control to form and store any number of numbers. Given the fact that the price of cryptocurrencies has skyrocketed in recent times, the demand for hard drives specifically for Chia mining has also skyrocketed. A type of semiconductor drive (SSD) called NVMe, which is used to generate random numbers, is also highly sought after. Over the past week, the prices of hard drives and NVMe have been on an uphill trend. One point worth noting is that SSDs are inherently limited in number. Digital currency expert David Gerard told the Guardian: “Instead of consuming power, Chia gobbles up SSDs at a special rate.” According to CoinMarketCap on May 26, in the last 24 hours, there was 50 million USD worth of Chia traded, quite modest compared to 50 billion USD of Bitcoin. However, Chia’s potential keeps the demand for hard drives still on the rise. In the past, graphics cards, which have been an important element of video games and artificial intelligence research, have also fallen into sharp shortages due to demand from Ethereum miners. In another development, on May 26, Iran issued a ban on Bitcoin mining to prevent power shortages.

Instagram used to be a place where you could find community and discover your passion for photography. Since 2017, however, I’ve noticed a change as the platform transitions to algorithmically sorting photos in news feeds. This change causes the images displayed to be related to the characters or issues that the user is interested in. This is the reason photographers are no longer interested in this application even though it used to be a place to incubate their passion. The original Instagram app. Photo: Techradar. Before Instagram, photography forums and platforms like Flickr and Tumblr used to be a place to connect photo lovers with each other. These communities are run by forum administrators or members. And most of all, without any intervention of algorithms like today. The Algorithms Behind Instagram Instagram has billions of users every month, so it’s impossible to control the huge amount of content posted every day. According to the Omnicore , up to 95 million images are shared every day on this app. Instagram has used algorithms instead of human factors to control and decide which content should be shown priority. Specifically, only posts with your personal photos or special moments will be prioritized by Instagram. It seems that this algorithm is “Facebookizing” Instagram. Users reflect on Instagram’s new algorithm, asking the app to bring back the chronological display of photos. Photo: Techradar. I tried posting an old photo of myself on Instagram with my birthday message. Surprisingly, this photo got the most engagement of anything I’ve posted in the past 12 months. The artworks of these photographers will now be difficult to reach their Instagram followers. On average, only 5-10% of followers interact and comment on each photographer’s post. Specifically, you will get 150-300 interactions for every 3,000 followers you have, or even less. According to Instagram, their algorithm has not changed, if you want to get a lot of likes, then work hard to interact with other accounts. A rival shopping and copying app Instagram seems to be obsessed with competing in the market by copying the competition. The proof is after the success of TikTok with the total number of app downloads increasing by 800% from the beginning of 2018 to the end of 2019. Not long after that, Instagram responded by launching the Reels function in August 2020. At the same time, TikTok launched e-commerce support on each of its videos. On December 10, 2020, Instagram announced that a shopping feature was integrated into Reels similar to what TikTok did. Instagram’s shopping feature and Snapchat’s Instagram stories feature were copied from Snapchat. Photo: Techradar. Facebook is also adding Instagram features to its platform. Stories on Instagram can now also appear on Facebook, and more than that Facebook is preparing to test the Reels feature. There are still many other options It looks like Twitter and TikTok are benefiting from users who are frustrated that Instagram is slowly becoming Facebook. Twitter is a suitable platform for photographers while still carrying the same values ​​​​as the photography forums of the past. Additionally, Twitter has just launched a 4K photo feature on its mobile app. Facebook allows users to cross-share Reels from Instagram. Photo: Techradar. Besides, video content creators on TikTok are encroaching on Youtube with popular “how-to” videos. Instagram needs change If possible, Instagram should give users the choice of showing photos in the news feed between appearing in chronological order or by interaction between accounts. Next are the paid plans, with these users will not be affected by the advertising of third parties. In addition, Instagram should have more premium plans for businesses and celebrities that come with benefits like sales and advertising.

The shoe is controlled by an artificial intelligence called InnoMake. Photo: Tec-Innovation According to Oddity Central (UK), called InnoMake, this smart shoe aims to become a modern alternative to the decades-old walking stick, which millions of blind people around the world use. the world is dependent on to travel as safely as possible. The shoe is now equipped with sensors that detect obstacles and warn the user through vibrations and audible alerts on smartphones with Bluetooth connectivity. This sounds very impressive already! However, the company is working on a much more advanced version of the shoe. It is integrating both the camera and artificial intelligence (AI) to not only detect an obstacle, but also know what it is. Photo: Tec-Innovation The shoe model is now equipped with sensors to detect obstacles. Photo: Tec-Innovation The company Tec-Innovation has partnered with the University of Graz in Austria to develop cutting-edge learning algorithms that analyze information from sensors and cameras built into InnoMake shoes. From there, the shoe can determine if the area has obstructions and is safe to walk through. It even distinguishes many different types of obstacles. “It not only warns me that I’m facing an obstacle, but gives information about that type of obstruction as well. Because knowing whether the obstacle is a wall, car, or ladder makes all the difference.” big,” said Markus Raffer, one of the founders of Tec-Innovation. Surprisingly, Raffer is also a blind person. Shoes can distinguish different types of obstructions. Photo: Tec-Innovation “Ultrasonic sensors at the toe of the shoe can detect obstacles up to 4 meters away. The user of the shoe will be alerted by a vibration mechanism and an audible signal. It works very well and has helped me a lot,” added Mr. Raffer. The current version of the InnoMake shoe is on sale on the company’s website for $3,850 per pair. While it doesn’t yet have a camera function as the company continues to work on it, the shoe is still an impressive piece of technology, possessing advanced modes and algorithms that make it as easy to use as possible. Rich is integrated with both camera and artificial intelligence (AI). Photo: Tec-Innovation Tec-Innovation’s website says users can make changes in real time using buttons on the back of the shoe. The operating range can be increased to 4 meters at the touch of a button. “You can activate smart mode, which automatically pauses when you sit. You can also use InnoMake as a scanner to gather information about your surroundings through every step,” the company said. said. This advanced system is integrated in the toe cap, which is water and dust resistant. It’s powered by a super-durable battery that can last up to a week, depending on how often you use it. The battery can be fully charged in 3 hours using a USB cable. The shoes are water and dust resistant. Photo: Tec-Innovation The next step for Tec-Innovation is to use the data collected by its system to create an all-view navigation map for the visually impaired. “At the current stage, only shoe wearers benefit from the data it collects as they walk. It would be better if this data was used for others as a navigation aid as well. “, explains computer scientist Friedrich Fraundorfer.

The software helps to record the thoughts in the brain into writing on the computer. The combination of mental effort and modern technology has allowed a motionless man (T5) to communicate by text at a speed comparable to that of healthy colleagues texting. on smartphone. Study participant (T5) almost lost all mobility below the neck because of a spinal cord injury in 2007. The scientists placed two brain-computer interface chips, each about the same size. an aspirin pill, on the left side of T5’s brain. Each chip has 100 electrodes that pick up signals from trigger neurons in the motor cortex, an area on the outermost surface of the brain that governs hand movements. Those neural signals are sent over wires to a computer, where artificial intelligence algorithms decode the signal and infer the T5’s intended hand and finger movements. Algorithms were designed in Stanford’s Neural Prosthetic Translation Lab. T5 generated text at a rate of about 18 words per minute (the average person can say about 23 words per minute on a smartphone). Even, T5 then reached a record of 40 characters per minute. The study was published online May 12, 2021 in the journal Nature. It offers hope to hundreds of thousands of Americans and millions around the globe, who have lost the ability to use their upper limbs or speak due to spinal cord injury, stroke or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

In their paper in the journal IEEE Trans Transaction on Biomedical Engineering, the team presented the results of trials on two men with spinal cord injury aged 35 and 63. The system works by connecting a signal generator on the user’s head to an electrode relay in the cortex, through the connection port like wired systems. From there, the tester can move, click and type on the computer keyboard with his or her brain. Transmitter connects to a relay located in the brain cortex, helping people to use wireless computers. Photo: BrainGate. In the test, both candidates were able to achieve typing speed and click accuracy on par with a wired system. At the same time, they can use the system continuously for up to 24 hours at home. “The signals are recorded and transmitted with the same fidelity as a wired system, meaning we can use the same decoding algorithms that we have,” said John Simeral, who leads the team. used with conventional wired equipment ”. “The only difference is that we are no longer physically tied to the devices, which opens up new possibilities for future research,” Simeral added. “With this system, we are able to look at brain activity at home, over the long term, in a way that was previously almost impossible,” said Leigh Hochberg, another team member. This gives us more opportunities to create algorithms that allow people with paralysis to move and work. ” According to the Mashable, The aforementioned study is a significant step forward in the field of neural communication, in which the human brain is directly connected to the computer. Recently, big names in the tech world like Facebook and Elon Musk have also expressed interest in this area. Simple device is placed on top of research candidate. Photo: Radiofiji. In 2020, Elon Musk’s startup Neuralink introduced a pig named Gertrude, with a computer chip implanted in the brain. Or, as before, in 2021, the company also succeeds in implanting a chip into the monkey brain so that the animal can play video games. However, Brown University’s first human study demonstrates that the technology can be used wirelessly, and it wouldn’t be surprising if we find wearable devices that allow people with disabilities to communicate with them. continue and work better in the future.

Using this algorithm, Chia mining does not consume too much power because only the hard drive is free. Chia’s network has now mobilized more than 2,700 PiB (1 PiB = 1125.9 TB) of available hard drive space. Very quickly, Chia caught the attention of Amazon and launched a virtual money mining service in the cloud exclusively for the China region. The Amazon website also shows how to set up a cloud service to create a Split wallet, create a space, and how to mine in just 5 minutes. Dong Chia is being traded on a number of small exchanges with a large fluctuation range. Dong Chia started the validation process and allowed mining on March 19, a process known as the mainnet. At that time, Chinese miners flocked to e-commerce sites to buy hard drives and sold these items out of stock, mainly in the super-hard drive segment of 10 TB or more. And after about two months, Chia was officially listed on May 4 last with the virtual currency code XCH, starting price 1,700 USD. But immediately this currency must witness selling momentum causing it to drop in value to only $ 700 before recovering around $ 900 mark. Over time, with the Bitcoin fever, new virtual currencies are constantly appearing and being pumped, making it worth fluctuating up and down. The volatility of the virtual currency market is part of the reason that many countries are afraid of Bitcoin in general and virtual currencies in particular. Phuong Nguyen (According to CoinDesk)

This comes from TikTok’s “for you” tag suggestion algorithm. This algorithm will suggest videos that users might be interested in and are growing well. TikTok’s proposed algorithm is out of control “There are two factors for this algorithm to be successful: it is responsive to user preferences and high engagement. Sensational and controversial content will become a rapidly growing group without strict censorship ”, Pham Thien Trang, writer and founder of Story Maker. TikTok’s algorithm can make anyone famous overnight. Photo: Getty. In fact, TikTok’s censorship team is not working very well. Prohibited videos, violating the content policy of this social network are posted and appear in the tag “for you”. Content from gambling site advertising, regional discrimination, violence, hostile language, sneaky footage … all appeared with millions of views. HuyVu channel ****** posted dozens of videos about himself, but only around a few tens of thousands of views. But with the content of sneaking a male shampoo shop, this channel has 3 consecutive videos with 1.8 million, 3.5 million and 5.6 million views. Also with secretly filmed contents, the Chinese **** channel has just been established for a few weeks and has only posted only 5 videos. However, a video of which secretly filmed the hostesses of a karaoke bar reached nearly 1 million views. This shows that TikTok’s algorithm ignores the problem that these videos are sneaky content, invading the privacy of others. Sacrificing privacy, TikTok pampered viewers’ curious “interests”. In addition, erotic content is also available on TikTok. A close-up video of round one on Jessie **** reached nearly 15 million hits in less than a week. Meanwhile, other videos with non-infringing content of this channel only reach maximum 100,000 views. Other videos such as burning money, hair removal, debt collection … have also reached millions of views, even though this is not a channel for celebrities. From the examples above, users may find TikTok’s role in moderation quite fuzzy. Meanwhile, the platform’s proposed algorithm is too powerful enough to turn dirty content from an unknown channel into a phenomenon overnight. How TikTok encourages users to “create” content “My newly created channel has a very fast growth rate. I think I am supported by TikTok. At the beginning, my account instructed me to cook about the first 3 videos with a huge increase in views. I took it as a signal. good and do the same content. However, later access only reaches less than 10%, ”said Minh Chau, a student at a university in Ho Chi Minh City. Not only does this happen with individual TikTok channels, many of the early news channels’ views spiked to several million. However, when the number of videos started to increase, this number was only around a few tens of thousands. Videos of dangerous actions without protective tools attracted 8 million views on TikTok. Take the example of the Duc Thung channel ***. in the first 18 videos, this channel has moderate engagement. However, the video that violates TikTok’s content policy about risky behavior reached 8.2 million views. Specifically, the man in the video walks on a wire, without protective tools. According to TikTok’s policy, this social network prohibits users from posting videos that are risky or dangerous, done in an unprofessional setting or without the necessary skills and safety measures. “We do not allow content that describes, promotes, normalizes or celebrates such behavior, including amateur performances or dangerous challenges,” policy TikTok writes. Since that 8.2 million views video, Duc Thung **** account continued to post risky videos that violated TikTok’s policies. The more risky the video, the more it can reach more people. However, after only a few months, the access of this channel no longer reaches the number of millions. The contents walking on the rope started to be boring, the person turned to balance on the wooden post after receiving the comment “it is too boring”. Video “new format” attracted 8 million views immediately. “Unlike YouTube, account holders on TikTok do not need to work every day to get more subscribers and views. TikTok channel owners only need to know how to refresh themselves in many ways. interaction is higher than the rest of the content, “shared Huu Nhat, a content creator in Ho Chi Minh City. In the case of Duc Thung **** channel, video views are directly proportional to the danger this account takes. The moderator role is vacant “The propagation algorithm and user preference is not wrong. However, TikTok needs to strengthen censorship if it does not want the algorithm to abide the large content scandals that may occur in the future”, Minh Analysis by Phuong, communication expert from SeaEvent. According to Mr. Phuong, the fact that TikTok is directing channel owners to more attractive content, but leaving censorship blank could push the company to content scandals and crises such as Facebook and YouTube. In June 2020, a family fell into tears just because of a 15-second video on TikTok. Accordingly, the account @Vu_n *** posted a video with the content “the groom in Binh Phuoc holding the bride running straight into the house despite the family’s obstruction”. According to the account holder above, because the bride is pregnant before the wedding, the mother-in-law is not allowed to enter the front door. The groom did not want his wife to lose, so he arbitrarily carried the bride to the main door. Before being removed from TikTok, the above video attracted thousands of shares, interactions and hundreds of comments. The false 15-second video once affected a family in Binh Phuoc. In the comment section, many opinions are reviled by the groom’s family because they believe that pregnant daughter-in-law is not allowed to enter the front door, which deserves condemnation. However, the above video was confirmed by the groom’s family to be false. Talk to Zing Bui Tam, the groom’s cousin, said that on the wedding day, seeing that his daughter-in-law wearing high heels and wedding dress was difficult to walk, so the groom’s mother asked his son to take his wife into the house so he wouldn’t fall. However, because the groom goes too fast, the mother stops her. According to TikTok’s content policy, the above video violates the section of misinformation that affects others. “We remove false information that could harm an individual’s health or the broader public safety,” says TikTok content policy. However, until the press received a question, the video was still available on TikTok. This shows that the platform’s censorship layer is in serious trouble. “The misleading short video format and the terrible spread of TikTok put this platform in danger of becoming an information bomb if not strictly censored,” said Tuan Kiet, Production Director from the company Kites Entertainment said. Video distinguishes regions, promoting gambling rampant TikTok Videos of violence, discrimination, and spirituality still appear on TikTok for many months without being removed even though they violate the platform’s policy on bad content.

Facebook will ask questions for users to choose what content they want to display on the New Feed or not. Photo: Facebook Facebook’s current mechanism is to prioritize displaying content from related things like friends, groups, and followed pages. The content displayed on the New Feed is based on how often you engage with the content or your friend’s choice of roles to get more content. However, this doesn’t mean that all of the content they post on Facebook wants to see. Many false information, sensational and divisive content to attract users to interact to increase the ability to make money or is provocative. This new Facebook algorithm will also be changed to recognize the date from the beginning of the feed. In addition, Facebook will ask users questions about different topics and see if they want to show up. This new mechanism will help show more content that people are interested in, topics that users reply that they do not want to see will be less visible. The change to the algorithm is partly affected by the violent events at the Capitol on January 16. Facebook has failed to control and prevent provocative content on its platform. Content like this should be controlled, limited and displayed according to the needs of users on the New Feed. This trial is only for a small group and it should kick off in the next month. However, one thing is not sure whether it will be applied globally or not only gender in a survey, but it is certain that this change will give users the choice of information to be displayed. display on your New Feed.

Mark Zuckerberg has started experimenting with more sound platforms in recent times as the trend gets stronger. A few weeks ago, he announced a shopping-related partnership with Shopify on Clubhouse, the popular audio social network recently.

Using computational tools, researchers can virtually open a complicated folded letter from 1697. These are complex techniques to help recipients detect if a message has been tampered with. To date, scientists say letters over 300 years old can be read without opening. Read letters using algorithm During research at the Vatican Secret Archives, conservator Janaa Dambrogio at the MIT Library (Massachusetts Institute of Technology in America) unearthed Renaissance letters with strange cuts and angles. . She found these were signs that they were initially locked with a sliding paper slot and sealed with wax. Such letters cannot be opened without tearing the letter – which helps the recipient to see if the letter has been read or not. After studying 250,000 ancient letters, Dambrogio and her colleagues invented the first system for classifying key-lettering techniques. This is a type of periodic table based on how to crease pages. “Mail lock is 10 thousand years old technology and since people try to secure their mail, gradually they have come to know the key features of mail lock” – Ms. Dambrogio said. Until now, scientists have only read these letters by cutting them out and often corrupting the letters. Although such work naturally focuses on the content of the letter, it is also important to research the letter lock. Dambrogio and her colleagues have devised a way to both read the locked letter’s text without opening it, while at the same time reconstructing the intricate folds and gaps used to fix it. “This is an interesting and pretty big contribution over the decades to the search for artifacts that have barely been opened yet,” said computer scientist Brent Seales at the University of Kentucky. He is not involved in this study. The scientists investigated the Brienne Collection – a postmaster’s chest containing more than 3,000 unsent letters, of which 577 were never opened. Letters sent from all over Europe to the Dutch city of The Hague between 1680 and 1706, the era when Salem witch trials unfold, Newton revealed his law of motion and gravity. King Louis XIV moved the court to Versailles. First, the researchers analyzed four envelopes by scanning high-resolution X-rays to create 3D models of the letter. They then use a new algorithm to identify and separate different layers of folded letters and recognize the written text. In the end, the algorithm virtually unfolds the letters, not only making the handwriting visible, but also records the crease patterns so that the researchers can re-create the step-by-step letter locking process. Scientists use technology to read locked letters dating back centuries. Open up many research directions Scientists have found a way to read the letter without breaking its seal or opening it in any way. Using highly sensitive X-ray scanners and computer algorithms, researchers can read these sealed letters. The new strategy above helps scientists read the text in unopened messages for the first time. For example, an unopened letter is from a man named Jacques Sennacques, dated 31/7/1679 to his cousin Pierre Le Pers – a French businessman in The Hague. Perhaps this letter was intended to obtain a certified copy of the death certificate of a relative, Dainel Le Pers, regarding the inheritance issue. The scientists detailed their findings in the recent Nature Communications journal. This new technique will also work for other collections of unsent mail around the world. For example, “there are so many old origami art pieces that the way they were created has never been recorded,” said study co-author Erik Demaine, a computer scientist at MIT – “The idea of ​​scanning them so they can replicate the way they are folded is really interesting.” The historian Howard Hotson at the University of St Anne in Oxford, UK was not involved in the study, however he stressed that future research on locked letters could shed light on cultural patterns and patterns. global technology exchange “because sophisticated mail locking techniques have been transferred from one country, sector or continent to the respective places over the long period in which it is used”. Scientists are making their technology and open source available for others to use and possibly improve. “We see this as the starting point for many future research directions,” said co-author of the study, algorithm engineer Amanda Ghasaei at Adobe Research in San Francisco.

Insider Instagram representatives apologized when the system suggested these keywords to people recovering from eating disorders. Cristina Criddle, a spokesperson for the app, told BBC indicates that the above error is now fixed. Having struggled with an eating disorder, Victoria Spence said that the keyword Instagram suggested could hurt newcomers. “To help people discover what they’re interested in, we’ve rolled out a new way to search on Instagram by suggesting keywords as they move to the search bar. Those suggestions, as well as ourselves. search results, limited to common interests, “a Facebook spokesperson – which owns Instagram – said in a statement to Insider . “Losing weight” should not be one of the keywords to suggest, this person added. “We’ve taken steps to prevent these terms from appearing. We apologize for causing any confusion.” Instagram says it doesn’t allow content that encourages eating disorders to appear and deletes posts as soon as it detects them. Users are allowed to talk about recovery from the disorder, but the hashtags associated with it begin with #thinspo , #proana and #anabuddy blocked. The social network also said that posts promoting super speed weight loss products were also banned. According to Dr. Bryony Bamford, Clinical Director at The London Center for Eating Disorders and Body Image, the damage happened when a user saw a keyword on Instagram. “Many people with eating disorders or recovery may be affected by useless messages they see on social media. Diet or weight loss keywords can trigger awareness of the disorder. “After recovery is a time when they are extremely vulnerable, exposure to the above factors has the risk of causing the disease again,” she said. How Instagram recommends search keywords to users. Victoria Spence, an influencer once suffering from an eating disorder, regularly shares articles about her recovery. Spence says she doesn’t believe Instagram promoting diet content is an algorithmic mistake. “Instagram is a platform to advertise, and the diet food industry is a multibillion-pound giant. The problem with content promotion revolves around ‘appetite suppression’ and ‘planning.’ Weight loss ‘on a platform with a large number of young users shows that they are normalizing diets and celebrating weight loss methods’. Spence argues that Instagram needs to improve the algorithm for diet posts to be pushed down. “The question is whether they really care about users or value profit more as businesses,” she said.

Redefining “authentic photography”
