Humans are intrinsically connected to the environment, and, on most of the planet, their impact on the Earth is easily seen. But what about the corners of the ocean that are shrouded in darkness and almost impossible to visit? This lack of accessibility creates a disconnect between us and marine ecosystems. Despite having the necessary technology, the ocean mostly remains a mystery – we have more detailed maps of the surface of Mars, Venus and the moon than we do of the deep seafloor of our home planet. Consequently,…

Treating pain in the brain isn't easy – what with it being essential for everything we think and do – but a newly developed, non-invasive method of using ultrasound is showing particular promise, as outlined in a published study.Researchers from the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine used tightly focused beams of ultrasound, aimed at one particular part of the brain, to reduce the perception of pain and some of its related effects (such as heart rate changes).While this approach is still in the early stages, the…

Nowadays, deep learning can be everywhere, from groundbreaking AI companies to the voice assistant in your smartphone.Here are just a few of the most popular deep-learning applications:ChatGPTOpenAI's chatbot uses deep learning and is one of the largest deep-learning models available. ChatGPT uses OpenAI's 3.5 version of a generative pre-trained transformer (GPT 3.5), which touts 175 billion parameters. The neural network that makes ChatGPT so efficient is trained to learn patterns and relationships in language. Also: How…

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor sold more than 500,000 copies in its first week on sale, and now developer Funday Games is outlining its plans for the weeks and months ahead.The auto-shooter takes aspects fans of the co-op FPS Deep Rock Galactic have come to love, like dwarves, mining, and killing truck loads of alien bugs, and combines it with the rewarding auto-shooting and roguelite elements of Vampire Survivors. That appears to be a winning combination, with developer Funday Games saying the game's early…

Here’s an existential sci-fi wearing its influences and its supposed humour really heavily, as if entering some super-gravitational force field. It is adapted by screenwriter Colby Day from the absurdist Czech novel Spaceman of Bohemia and directed by Johan Renck, who has lately worked mostly on television, notably on the Chernobyl drama series. The resulting Netflix movie is a lifeless space oddity about a commercially sponsored Czech mission to the stars, whose astronaut has to repeat the ad slogans in his radio contact…

This is today’s edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what’s going on in the world of technology. Meet the divers trying to figure out how deep humans can go Two hundred thirty meters into one of the deepest underwater caves on Earth, Richard “Harry” Harris knew that not far ahead of him was a 15-meter drop leading to a place no human being had seen before. Getting there had taken two helicopters, three weeks of test dives, two tons of…

The others were amazed. Some were perturbed. “Everybody has to make this decision for themself,” Stone told me. “The Pearse Resurgence is not a place to experiment. When you go in there, you should be using gear and techniques that you know are going to work at that depth. You don’t want to be doing physiological experiments at 300 meters’ depth. That’s what killed all of the other divers who went beyond 200 meters’ depth. So my advice to Harry and anybody else who wants to play this game is the same as what I gave…

The country’s largest carmaker, Maruti Suzuki, is also India’s leading hybrid car manufacturer.

If this UK-Canadian thriller has a wind-hardened snowcrust of malice, it’s somewhat less dense under the surface – though still an enjoyable punt from the digital-release ranks. Amiable but downtrodden waitress Ana (Nina Bergman) has her bacon saved by chance diner David (Allen Leech) when her abusive husband Vincent (Yan Tual) comes calling. Eerily calm in the face of having his dessert desecrated and a potential shanking, David drives off unharmed. But, redneck to the core, Vincent tailgates him; skidding into a snow…

How to Use Deep Learning to Process and Analyze Audio Data for Various Tasks and Domains Audio data is a type of unstructured data that contains information about sound waves, such as frequency, amplitude, and phase. Audio data can be used for various applications, such as speech recognition, music generation, noise reduction, and audio classification. However, audio data is also complex and noisy, which makes it challenging to process and analyze. Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, leverages…
