by IndustryTrends October 2, 2022 The gaming industry is bursting with countless genres of games. You can easily spend the whole day switching to playing action-adventure, simulation, shooting, role-playing, sports, or even real-time strategy games. Unfortunately, they cannot make you rich.Here’s how you could make generate some extra income with Ethereum (ETH), Axie Infinity (AXIE) and Metacryp (MTCR).Ethereum lays the foundation.When Ethereum (ETH) launched in July 2015, it was the first blockchain network in the…

via 20th Century Fox Even though it ranked as one of the 10 highest-grossing releases of the year 2000 after netting an impressive $291 million at the box office, time hasn’t really softened a lot of people’s opinions on What Lies Beneath. These days, the supernatural thriller can be found boasting a Rotten Tomatoes score of just 47 percent, with the user rating ever so slightly higher (but still not great) at 58 percent. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the film itself has nothing to do with what…

A red-headed woman stands on the moon, her face obscured. Her naked body looks like it belongs on a poster you’d find on a hormonal teenager’s bedroom wall — that is, until you reach her torso, where three arms spit out of her shoulders. AI-powered systems like Stable Diffusion, which translate text prompts into pictures, have been used by brands and artists to create concept images, award-winning (albeit controversial) prints and full-blown marketing campaigns. But some users, intent on exploring the systems’…

Carnatic Music features rich recurrent patterns from a few building blocks — making it a rich playground to explore AI based music generation. Let’s see how LSTM can generate new basic compositionsCarnatic music is one of 2 Indian classical music forms (the other being Hindustani music). Unlike in Western classical music where compositions are set to a particular key (e.g. Beethoven’s Symphony №5 in C minor) and features multiple modes; Carnatic music compositions are mostly set to a single distinct mode, known as a Raga.…

Clean energy accounted for more than two-thirds of the new US electrical generating capacity added during the first six months of 2022, according to data recently released by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Wind (5,722 megawatts) and solar (3,895 MW) provided 67.01% of the 14,352 MW in utility-scale (that is, greater than 1 MW) capacity that came online during the first half of 2022. Additional capacity was provided by geothermal (26 MW), hydropower (7 MW), and biomass (2 MW). The balance came…

Harvesting wind energy is an important part of the renewables mix, but when those huge turbine blades reach the end of their working lives, they could end up as waste in landfill. Siemens Gamesa has developed a recyclable blade that can be used to create new products when its wind-catching days are done.Though other wind turbine components, such as towers and nacelles, can already be recycled, the composite materials used to manufacture the huge blades in commercial wind farm installations have proven more of a challenge,…

Credit: Stanford Graduate School of Business In 1924, a cartel of lightbulb manufacturers including General Electric and Philips agreed to artificially limit the lifespan of their products to about 1,000 hours, down from 2,500. The scandal, revealed decades later, came to epitomize the linear consumption model of making, consuming, and then discarding products that took hold during the Industrial Revolution and has been…

Paving the way for an abundant renewable energy source, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed an innovative technology that can produce hydrogen from biomass. The team was led by S. Dasappa, Professor at the Centre for Sustainable Technologies, and Chair of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Energy Research at IISc.India uses nearly 50 lakh tonnes of hydrogen for various processes in different sectors, and the hydrogen market is expected to grow substantially in the coming years, says Dasappa.…

OpenAI GPT-3 — Do I really need it to generate state-of-the-art text embeddings?Source: Created by the authorIn this article, I’ll be demonstrating that large language models such as GPT-3 do not generate the best dense text embeddings for many NLP (natural language processing) tasks and how it´s possible for everyone to generate state-of-the-art embeddings with widely available hardware.Dense text embeddings are vector representations of text that encode the meaning of words. In this way words, which are close in…
