Neural NetworksAn explanation of cGAN architecture with a detailed Python exampleConditional Generative Adversarial Network. Image by author.Have you experimented with Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) yet? If so, you may have encountered a situation where you wanted your GAN to generate a specific type of data but did not have sufficient control over GANs outputs.For example, assume you used a broad spectrum of flower images to train a GAN capable of producing fake pictures of flowers. While you can use your model…

The batteries in your mobile devices continue to be disappointingly limiting, but at least the technology in chargers continues to rapidly evolve so you can quickly top up your gear when you find a power outlet. Anker’s new GaNPrime chargers now promise up to 150W of power delivery from a relatively small brick, giving you enough capacity to charge multiple devices at higher speeds.Last week, Anker announced it had teamed up with two companies, Infineon and Navitas, to help develop a new line-up of higher-watt gallium…

Anker has just unveiled the next generation of Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology with a series of powerful new chargers that can keep up with even your most power-hungry mobile devices on the go while still letting you travel light. The company’s new lineup of GaNPrime chargers offers power levels from 65 watts to 150 watts while coming in at up to 53% smaller than most other chargers. And thanks to the new PowerIQ 4.0 feature enabled by the latest advancements in GaN technology, Anker’s multiport GaNPrime chargers…

has revealed its third-gen gallium nitride () chargers, just over a year after the previous batch. The company is branding the new lineup of power bricks and portable chargers as GaNPrime. Anker said it worked with several partners to create products that last longer and are more sustainable. It claims the GaNPrime is the "most intelligent, most powerful and greenest multi-device charging system ever created." The GaNPrime chargers boast the latest version of Anker's PowerIQ tech, which can detect the power needs of each…

Razer Blade 14 gaming laptop, Razer Raptor 27 (2021), and Razer USB-C 130W GaN Charger were announced at E3 2021 during the company's keynote. The Razer Blade 14 is a slim gaming laptop that uses AMD's latest Ryzen 5000 series CPU and Nvidia's latest GeForce RTX 30 series GPUs. The Razer Raptor 27 (2021) gets an FPS upgrade and now supports 165Hz refresh rate. The Razer USB-C 130W GaN Charger comes with up to 130W maximum output in a compact form factor.Razer Blade 14, Razer Raptor 27 (2021), Razer USB-C 130W GaN Charger:…

In the past few years, you’ve probably heard a lot about Gallium Nitride or GaN for short, when it comes to chargers. Many companies that make chargers and sell them on Amazon, have been using GaN for quite some time. And now bigger companies, like Apple are getting involved.But the big question is, what is Gallium Nitride? And are GaN chargers better than the traditional Silicon chargers that we all know and love? We’re going to answer those questions and a bit more in this article. So here’s everything you need to know…

Neural NetworksAn overview of DCGAN architecture with a step-by-step guide to building it with Keras / TensorflowImage by 52Hertz from PixabayData Scientists use Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for a wide range of tasks, with image generation being one of the most common. A particular type of GAN known as DCGAN (Deep Convolutional GAN) has been created specifically for this.In this article, I will explain DCGANs and show you how to build one in Python using Keras/Tensorflow libraries. Then, we will use it to…

How hard can it be to teach a machine to generate a single pointPhoto by Jonathan Borba on UnsplashThis article describes the creation of a Generator — Discriminator pair, that would be consistent and robust (more or less). What’s more, I aimed to get a specific Discriminator function, which would ensure the Generator’s consistent learning (see plot below).The task for the simplest GAN would be to generate a point. A single number, say “1.” The Generator would be a single neuron with one weight and one bias value. Thus,…

At CES 2022, Anker announced an addition to its Nano II USB-C charger lineup with this more powerful version sporting two USB-C ports capable of outputting up to 100W, plus an old school USB-A charging port. Now the $79 Anker Nano II 100W (also known as the Anker 736 charger) has popped up for sale on Amazon (via MacRumors), although it is already showing sold-out. The Nano II chargers use the company’s second-generation version of gallium nitride-based components that replace older charger’s silicon components to pump…
