It’s no great secret that Grand Theft Auto: Trilogy – Definitive Edition had a very poor launch back in November 2021. With a litany of bugs, poor performance, and unpopular changes made to in-game signs, visuals, and more, it was one of the most controversial releases RockStar has delivered. Now that the entire trilogy is available on iPhone via Netflix, it’s thankfully a significantly better experience. If you’re looking for an easy way to play one of the most widely acclaimed sandbox titles of all time, you can now…

The Netflix Games catalog continues to grow, as the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is out now on the platform at no extra cost to subscribers.Alternatively, the games within the collection--GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas--are available for individual purchase for $20 each on iOS and Android.

And what does that mean when it does come? A new study provides a possible answer—the drying Salton Sea, about 150 miles southeast of L.A., and…

It’s a riddle that has both blessed California and still raises worries for the future: Why hasn’t L.A. seen a big San Andreas earthquake in generations? And what does that mean when it does come?A new study provides a possible answer — the drying Salton Sea, about 150 miles southeast of L.A., and the lack of sudden, major floodwaters funneling into it since it formed more than a century ago.But one thing is certain. The drought of earthquakes on the San Andreas fault will not last. A drying Salton Sea may be helping…

Running the medical imaging framework at scale on an enterprise ML platformBy Harmke Alkemade and Andreas Kopp3D Brain Tumor Segmentation (Image via Shutterstock under license to Andreas Kopp)We like to thank Brad Genereaux, Prerna Dogra, Kristopher Kersten, Ahmed Harouni, and Wenqi Li from NVIDIA and the MONAI team for their active support in the development of this asset.Since December 2021, we have released several examples to support Medical Imaging with Azure Machine Learning, and the response we received was…

Comparing normal distributions and their metricsImage by authorA fundamental part of statistics depends on normal distributions, which makes sense considering almost all distributions converge to a normal distribution due to the central limit theorem.If you have taken a statistics 101 course, you should be familiar with a t-test and know that it compares two normal distributions to each other. However, you might not have gone into depth about the 4 metrics I cover down below (and especially how they’re visualized) since…

Testing the capabilities of Stable Diffusion with WordnetImage created by the author with Stable DiffusionCurrent models for the generation of synthetic images from text input are not only able to generate very realistic-looking photos but also to handle a large number of different objects. In the paper “Evaluating a Synthetic Image Dataset Generated with Stable Diffusion”, we use the “Stable Diffusion” model to investigate which objects and types are represented so realistically that a subsequent image classification…

An extended application to create charts with commands in natural language using CodeXThe interface / Image by the authorIn a previous article, I presented a prototype of a method that allows the creation of information graphs and plots using instructions in natural language. In this article, I would like to give an extended and revised version and show the results of a study with users alongside some examples.The work was presented at the 26th International Conference Information Visualisation (IV) on 19–22 July 2022 at…

Collaborative Machine Learning without Sharing DataBy Harmke Alkemade and Andreas KoppFederated Learning on medical images (source: Shutterstock)In December 2021 we published several assets to support Medical Imaging with Azure Machine Learning. The great interest and numerous inquiries have surprised us very much. It once again makes clear that AI applications are becoming increasingly important in medical practice.With Federated Learning, we are today introducing an exciting new addition to our portfolio, which has…

However, some segments of the San Andreas Fault (SAF) instead are…
