Last updated: August 16th, 2022 at 09:11 UTC+02:00 Google is rolling out some new updates for Google Meet on the web. The update essentially improves the background effect accuracy and performance. Previously, the backgrounds on Google Meet weren’t accurate, and you could see patches of background getting washed off when a background effect was applied. Now, with the new update, Google has improved the accuracy of these effects. This results in better foreground separation and the application of accurate background…

Image via Marvel Studios When it comes to adaptations, it is likely that your favourite book or comic book characters aren’t going to look exactly the same on the big screen as they did in your mind or on paper. That was the case for Thor: Love and Thunder villain Gorr the God Butcher, who had some changes made to his character design for the MCU film. Thanks to visual artist Jackson Sze, however, we can see what a more comic book accurate version of the character might have looked like. Sze is a visual…

How scikit-learn’s cross_val_score makes this critical process easyImage credit: RONDAE productions on pexelsWe’ve previously talked about how to ensure that your machine learning algorithm is well trained, and performs well at making predictions for a given dataset. This is a very important part of the process: If a machine learning algorithm doesn’t match the data set well, then the predictions are likely to be garbage, which means that your algorithm won’t accomplish what you need it to do.As discussed in that previous…

One of the biggest challenges at the beginning of the novel coronavirus pandemic was ensuring aggressive testing of vast populations in several countries across the world. With time, new testing techniques were developed to ease the process. And since the COVID-19 pandemic is very much still there, a team of engineers at MIT and Harvard University has designed a small device that can detect and report SARS-CoV-2 from a saliva sample within an hour. The study also demonstrates that the test is as accurate as a PCR test.The…

Image segmentation can provide more accurate descriptions of the objectives than picture classification Accurate annotations have been provided by computer vision datasets, which are the foundation for many Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, for many years. They have performed admirably enough to satisfy the demands of machine perception systems. However, AI has reached a stage where it required precise outputs from computer vision models in order to enable delicate human-machine interaction and immersive…

via Marvel Studios Marvel‘s desperation to be funny isn’t funny anymore, but pointing out Marvel’s desperation to be funny is hilarious! Case in point: @LeCinephiles’ 10-second clip of an exasperated Homelander from The Boys, captioned with “a marvel movie going 17 seconds without a joke.” The tweet has over 5,500 retweets and 55,000 likes at the time of this writing.

via Marvel Studios Christian Bale doesn’t seem like the type of person who would go viral on a regular basis, but the Academy Award winner and method actor has accomplished the feat several times over in recent weeks, thanks to his involvement in Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster Thor: Love and Thunder as the villainous Gorr the God Butcher. Christopher Nolan’s Batman first gained inadvertently hilarious attention when he was asked for his thoughts on entering the MCU, to which he revealed that he had to…

When facial recognition technology fails, the potential for disgrace is not all that we are faced with Facial recognition is a contentious technique. Although many of us have heard tales of AI mistaking humans for animals, that is only the beginning. We’re just starting to understand how law enforcement uses artificial intelligence to spot criminals. However, when technology fails, the potential for disgrace is not all that we are faced with. One American citizen was wrongly suspected of taking a pair of…

Additive manufacturing is one of the most important technological advances of the 21st century. It's revolutionized the way we build everything from airplanes and wind turbines to medical implants and nano-machinery — not to mention the tidal wave of creativity unleashed once the tech made its way into the maker community. In Cosplay: A History, veteran cosplayer and 501st Legion member, Andrew Liptak explores the theatrical origins of the craft and its evolution from costuming enthusiasm to full-fledged fandom. Liptak…

FIFA has announced that semi-automated offside technology will be used at the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar starting on November 21, offering a support tool for the video match officials and the on-field officials to help them make faster, more accurate and more reproducible offside decisions on the biggest stage of all.Following the successful use of VAR technology at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, FIFA President Gianni Infantino declared in The Vision 2020-23 that FIFA would strive to harness the full potential of…
