Not every startup collapse is an FTX or Theranos. They don’t all burn so brightly and explode so spectacularly. More often than not, there won’t be some high-profile court case and prison time. Amanda Seyfried isn’t going to play you in the made for Hulu movie. The story of most startup failures is far less exciting. The timing isn’t right, funding dries up, runways run out. Of late, a lot of macroeconomic factors have come into play, as well. These past few years have been especially brutal for startup land.…

It's not a legal requirement, anthropologist Natasha Raheja writes in a new ethnographic study she conducted at this…

Caterpillars with a notoriously painful sting may have evolved their venom with help from ancient microbes, according to a new study led by scientists from the University of Queensland in Australia.Their analysis has uncovered signs that a process known as horizontal gene transfer may have allowed sequences for toxins to jump from bacteria to the insect some time in their evolutionary past.While the caterpillar's venom remains largely shrouded in mystery, researchers say its molecular secrets could turn out to be…

It doesn't look like much: a fuzzy gray scene, a fuzzy white blob in the center, a smaller, fainter fuzzy blob moving from left to right across the scene.What you're looking at, though, is a marvel of science and engineering. It's the view from the camera of a robotic orbiter named Mars Express, peering back towards its homeworld across a vast gulf of 300 million kilometers (186.4 million miles).That white blob is the Sun. And the fainter, smaller blob is Earth and the Moon, moving across the sky.A sequence of four…

Thankfully, this condition is usually benign, and his tongue eventually returned to normal.Cecilia Rose Gooding on the Writers Strike | io9 InterviewThe strange case was detailed earlier this month in the New England Journal of Medicine. The authors are doctors from the Wright–Patterson Medical Center in Ohio, which serves military personnel at…

This article explains what is fuzzy logic, robotics & future of artificial intelligence in detail In this article, we will learn in short about the fuzzy logic concept and robotics in artificial intelligence. Also, check out the future scope of artificial intelligence.   Fuzzy Logic in Artificial Intelligence The logical output is produced by fuzzy logic systems in response to uncertain, disorderly, deformed, and incomplete fuzzy inputs. Artificially intelligent fuzzy logic is a method of problem-solving that…

Matching text where there’s no perfect matchPhoto by Lucas Santos on UnsplashThe real world is not perfect.People use different forms of the same piece of information. Even well-established systems use different standards. You’d have seen city names misspelled, like “Santana” instead of “Santa Ana” or “St. Louie” instead of “St. Louis.”When working with real-world data, this is inevitable. Thus we must ensure that the data we take to the next steps in our pipeline are standardized.We can tackle this problem with Fuzzy…

Using machine learning, a team of researchers has enhanced the first image ever taken of a distant black hole. Importantly, the newly updated image shows the full resolution of the telescope array for the very first time.What Is Carbon Capture? With Gizmodo’s Molly Taft | TechmodoBlack holes are some of the most massive objects in the universe. Their gravitational pull is so intense that light cannot escape their event horizons, hence the blackness at the center of the above image. You’re not actually seeing the black…

Seth Macfarlane’s production company, Fuzzy Door, has launched a new technology division and hired former Siri CMO, Faith Sedlin, as its president, according to an announcement on Tuesday. In the role, Sedlin will oversee all operations for the new division, including the company’s production tool, ViewScreen. Created on MacFarlane’s request, ViewScreen allows for the visualization of virtual assets in real time and has been used on shooting/editing virtual lead characters on Hulu’s “The Orville: New Horizons”…

Effortless data deduplication at scale.Photo by Sangga Rima Roman Selia on UnsplashIn today’s data-driven world, the importance of high-quality data to build quality systems cannot be overstated.The availability of reliable data is highly critical for teams to make informed decisions, develop effective strategies, and gain valuable insights.However, at times, the quality of this data gets compromised by various factors, one of which is the presence of fuzzy duplicates.A set of records are fuzzy duplicates when they look…
