That’s what video game console and handheld modder Obirux did: they created a reimagined original Game Boy handheld that retains the aesthetic language of the 1989 model but reoriented it as a horizontally handled system akin to the Sega Game Gear, original GBA, and many modern handheld systems, including the Nintendo Switch (via Gizmodo). This creation is named the Game Boy DMG-0B “Prototype,” a homage to the original model number of the Game Boy…

Scientists have developed a computer model capable of predicting crime that is about to occur up to a week before it takes place. Data scientists and social scientists at the University of Chicago have developed an algorithm that relies on public data to predict future violent and property crimes with 90 percent accuracy. Using a separate model, the researchers were also able to determine that there is a heavy bias in police response to these crimes, based on the socioeconomic status of neighbourhoods where the crime was…

A new algorithm forecasts crime by learning patterns in time and geographic locations from public data on violent and property crimes. It can predict future crimes one week in advance with about 90% accuracy.A new computer model uses publicly available data to predict crime accurately in eight cities in the U.S., while revealing increased police response in wealthy neighborhoods at the expense of less advantaged areas.Advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning have sparked interest from governments that…
