Da quando ha fatto la sua prima comparsa sul Pianeta Terra e fino ai giorni nostri, la Natura nei suoi quasi 4 miliardi di anni ha avuto modo di evolversi in continuazione, perfezionarsi e trovare soluzioni sempre più efficienti per adattarsi. Non è un caso che l'uomo studi con particolare attenzione la natura che lo circonda, non solo per comprenderla, ma per trarre ispirazione nella progettazione delle nuove tecnologie. Questa continua ricerca di idee dalla natura è diventata una vera e propria disciplina: la biomimetica (o biomimesi). In questa puntata esploriamo come l'imitazione dei processi biologici e biomeccanici della natura ha ispirato tecnologie rivoluzionarie e come potrebbe influenzare le innovazioni future, dall'intelligenza artificiale alle interfacce cervello-computer.Nella sezione delle notizie parliamo dello scontro tra USA e UE sul Digital Markets Act, delle nuove ricerche sui nanomateriali che verranno condotte sulla Stazione Spaziale Internazionale e delle modifiche alle normative sui veicoli autonomi da parte dell'amministrazione Trump, che sembrano favorire particolarmente Tesla.--Indice--00:00 - Introduzione00:55 - Scontro aperto sul Digital Markets Act (HDBlog.it, Davide Fasoli)02:02 - Sulla ISS nuove ricerche sui nanomateriali (HDBlog.it, Luca Martinelli)03:31 - Gli USA rivedono le regole sui veicoli autonomi (TheVerge.com, Matteo Gallo)05:13 - La Tecnologia che copia la Natura (Luca Martinelli)16:36 - Conclusione--Testo--Leggi la trascrizione: https://www.dentrolatecnologia.it/S7E17#testo--Contatti--• www.dentrolatecnologia.it• Instagram (@dentrolatecnologia)• Telegram (@dentrolatecnologia)• YouTube (@dentrolatecnologia)• redazione@dentrolatecnologia.it--Brani--• Ecstasy by Rabbit Theft• Whatever by Cartoon & Andromedik

Quando si parla di algoritmi di apprendimento automatico, spesso si fa riferimento al concetto di black box (scatola nera), che implica l'impossibilità di capire come l'algoritmo sia riuscito a produrre un determinato risultato. Inoltre, i modelli di intelligenza artificiale possono essere manipolabili e vulnerabili ad attacchi. Per questo motivo, diventa essenziale non solo comprendere il risultato prodotto dall'algoritmo, ma anche il “ragionamento” e il processo che lo ha portato a formulare una risposta. Ma cos'è, quindi, l'IA spiegabile? Come funziona? A cosa serve e, soprattutto, a che punto siamo nella comprensione dei modelli di intelligenza artificiale che utilizziamo quotidianamente? In questa puntata cerchiamo di rispondere a queste domande, iniziando proprio dal definire cosa si intende per IA spiegabile.Nella sezione delle notizie parliamo dell'azienda cinese DeepSeek e dei suoi nuovi modelli di IA open source, del successo del test di XB-1 di Boom Supersonic che fa ben sperare per il ritorno dell'aviazione supersonica civile e infine di Waymo che testerà la guida autonoma in 10 nuove città per rendere il proprio sistema sempre più generalizzabile.--Indice--00:00 - Introduzione00:53 - I nuovi modelli open source di DeepSeek (Wired.it, Luca Martinelli)02:18 - Il ritorno dell'aviazione civile supersonica (IlSole24Ore.com, Matteo Gallo)03:32 - Waymo testa la guida autonoma in 10 nuove città (TheVerge.com, Davide Fasoli)05:00 - Perché dovremmo fidarci dell'IA?

This is The Digital Story Podcast #973, Nov. 12, 2024. Today's theme is "Tips for Showing Your Pictures on a 4K TV." I'm Derrick Story. Opening Monologue Family gatherings, special occasions, wedding receptions, and photography workshops - these are all great opportunities to show your pictures on a big screen. But how do you set things up so they look as good as possible? I have a few tips for you, and I'm going to share them on today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show. Picture Settings. You should have options for Brightness, Contrast, Sharpness, Color, Tint, and Color Temperature, depending on the brand and model of the TV. Adjust the sliders in the TV Settings while comparing the appearance to the picture on your computer or device. You might not be able to get a perfect match, but I've found that I can get it pretty close. A Reminder for Success Regardless of which method you use for displaying images on an LCD TV, allow for time beforehand to set up and test your configuration. It's easy to forget when the share buttons are and other settings for your presentation. If it's an important once in a lifetime occasion, such as a wedding reception, practice at home before you get on location. Make notes as to where the settings are for your devices, and make a few dry runs to get everything dialed in.

Negli ultimi cento anni sono stati registrati circa 10 impatti di asteroidi di dimensioni fortunatamente non così elevate da provocare un'estinzione, ma abbastanza grandi da causare ingenti danni a persone e infrastrutture. Con le moderne tecniche di osservazione e monitoraggio, inoltre, riteniamo di conoscere quasi tutti i corpi celesti più grandi di un chilometro che potrebbero mettere a repentaglio l'esistenza stessa della civiltà umana. Questo tuttavia non preclude la possibilità di poter individuare in futuro un corpo spaziale che potrebbe entrare in rotta di collisione con la Terra. Oltre ad osservare il più possibile il cosmo è quindi fondamentale iniziare ad escogitare metodi altamente tecnologici in grado di interferire con la traiettoria di questi corpi.Nella sezione delle notizie parliamo del Nobel per la fisica conferito agli inventori dell'intelligenza artificiale, di Tesla che ha presentato i Cybercab per il futuro dei taxi a guida autonoma e infine di Ryanair che vuole eliminare completamente il check-in fisico in aeroporto.--Indice--00:00 - Introduzione00:56 - Il Nobel per la fisica agli inventori dell'IA (IlPost.it, Luca Martinelli)02:12 - Tesla presenta il Cybercab per il futuro dei taxi (TheVerge.com, Davide Fasoli)03:35 - La transizione full digitale di Ryanair (DDay.it, Matteo Gallo)05:11 - Come nasce un programma spaziale di difesa planetaria (Matteo Gallo)15:21 - Conclusione--Contatti--• www.dentrolatecnologia.it• Instagram (@dentrolatecnologia)• Telegram (@dentrolatecnologia)• YouTube (@dentrolatecnologia)• redazione@dentrolatecnologia.it--Brani--• Ecstasy by Rabbit Theft• Redemption by Max Brhon

Microsoft ontslaat zo'n 650 mensen bij de gamingdivisie van het bedrijf. Dat staat in een interne memo in handen van techwebsite TheVerge die Xbox-baas Phil Spencer met het personeel heeft gedeeld. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. De ontslagronde is een gevolg van de overname van Activision-Blizzard. Daardoor werden er eerder dit jaar ook al bijna 2000 mensen ontslagen. Volgens Spencer zijn het noodzakelijke maatregelen omdat er overlap in functiegebieden is ontstaan door de overname. Daarbij benadrukt Spencer wel dat er geen games, spelcomputers of andere lopende projecten van Microsoft worden aangetast. De planning bij de gamingtak van Microsoft blijft dus onveranderd. Verder in deze Tech Update: Stichting Privacy First uit zorgen bij de Nederlandsche Bank en de minister van Financiën over de manier waarop financiële instellingen met persoonsgegevens omgaan Het is onderzoekers gelukt om wachtwoorden van Apple Vision Pro-gebruikers te stelen door enkel naar de bewegingen van hun ogen te kijken  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SHOULD YOU BE PODCASTING WITH CHATGPT? In episode 430, we discussed why ChatGPT means you matter even more today. WHAT IS CHATGPT? As a recap, Your podcast cannot simply be information. ChatGPT has nearly all the information anyone could ever need. An oversimplified explanation of Chat GPT is that it uses artificial intelligence like Siri on your iPhone or your Alexa smart speaker. It is just much more powerful. GPT is short for Generative Pretrained Transformer. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI. They are a startup based in San Francisco. The company was co-founded in 2015 by Elon Musk and Sam Altman. In regular language, the tool is like Alexa on steroids. It is capable of taking inputs from users and producing human-like responses. The thing that makes it different is the ability of ChatGPT to learn and adjust according to the conversation. This new artificial intelligence tool can serve up the exact same information you are delivering. Only ChatGPT does it in less time. Let's say you teach how to write code for computers. I can ask ChatGPT how to write computer code. ChatGPT can now only write code, it can debug it. THE DANGERS OF CHATGPT There are concerns when it comes to using ChatGPT to create your podcast or content. It isn't perfect. And, some organizations are concerned the content isn't truly your creation. According to PublishYourPurpose.com, one of the biggest concerns for using AI for content creation is the risk of plagiarism. ChatGPT uses the internet to generate a response to prompts by scouring the internet. But, there's no real way to know exactly where the source material comes from. If you use it as is, you could be plagiarizing others without even realizing it. When it comes to creating stories, MakeUseOf.com says ChatGPT will create typical storylines. The bot will usually follow plots and themes similar to the books that trained it even when you ask for something unique. The Guardian and Fortune recently reported that a group of news organizations have blocked the ability for ChatGPT to access their content. In fact, OpenAI now lets you block the bot from scraping your website. Scraping is the activity that help train GPT models. According to TheVerge.com, OpenAI said website operators can specifically disallow its GPTBot crawler on their site's Robots.txt file or block its IP address.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 7, 2023 is: disingenuous • dis-in-JEN-yuh-wuss • adjective Disingenuous is a formal word that describes things, such as speech or behavior, that give a false appearance of being honest or sincere. Similarly, a person who is being disingenuous may seem sincere, but is in fact only pretending to be open and candid. // Her recent expressions of concern about the community center closing are disingenuous at best because she stands to benefit financially when the property is redeveloped. See the entry > Examples: “You know those one-line reviews on Amazon listings that don't quite seem legitimate? Like the ones that rate a product five stars and say something incredibly vague, like “This is such a great item,” without expanding on any specifics? Well, that's just one type of fake feedback that the FTC wants to crack down on. The FTC's proposed rule seeks to ban several different types of disingenuous reviews and would not just punish the companies that use them but also the brokers that falsify feedback.” — Emma Roth, TheVerge.com, 30 June 2023 Did you know? To be disingenuous is to feign sincerity—to pretend you are speaking genuinely and honestly while concealing an ulterior motive. Similarly, a disingenuous remark might contain a hint of truth, but it is delivered with the intent to deceive or to serve some hidden purpose. While not currently defined in our dictionary, the internet term sealioning might also shed some light on the meaning of disingenuous, especially if you've ever been dragged into an online argument with a stranger whose true purpose is to exhaust you and erode your goodwill. As media critic Anita Sarkeesian wrote for Marie Claire magazine, “Sealioning is when an uninvited stranger pops into your conversation and peppers you with unsolicited and insincere questions. The sealion politely demands evidence for even the most mundane or self-evident statements and insists that you justify your opinions until he's satisfied—which he never is, since he's asking questions in bad faith.” In other words: textbook disingenuous behavior.

This week, Jason speaks with The Verge's Ash Parrish about the troubles at The Overwatch League, including recent layoffs and a pending vote to continue the league. He then talks about the future in esports in general, and ends with a brief commentary on the importance of graphics in video games.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 28, 2023 is: kludge • KLOOJ • noun A kludge is a haphazard or makeshift solution to a problem and especially to a computer or programming problem. // Andy knocked out a hasty kludge to circumvent the glitch until a more robust solution could be developed. See the entry > Examples: “I briefly considered purchasing a new desk for the office. But the one that several people at The Verge recommended … usually runs around $600 or so, and I had other expenses to deal with. … So I began to see if I could come up with a kludge that would give me what amounted to a standing desk.” — Barbara Krasnoff, TheVerge.com, 16 Aug. 2022 Did you know? As long as the origins of kludge (also spelled kluge) are uncertain, any attempt to pin them down will itself be a bit of a kludge—that is, a makeshift solution. The writer Jackson W. Granholm, once thought to have coined the word, offered his own when he wrote in his 1962 article “How to design a kludge” that it came from the German word klug, meaning “smart” or “witty.” This connection is unlikely on both phonetic and semantic grounds, however, and in any event the word already existed. A decade earlier, in an article recounting military folklore acquired from ex-soldiers, Agnes Nolan Underwood related a shaggy-dog story about a sailor named Murgatroyd whose civilian occupation is “kluge maker.” The meaning of kluge is withheld till the end of the tale, when the object made by Murgatroyd turns out to be “the damnedest looking little thing you ever saw—wires and springs sticking out in every direction.” Murgatroyd then accidentally drops the object: “the kluge slipped out and went overboard, down into the ocean, and went ‘kkluuge'.” This suggests a possible onomatopoeic origin for kludge/kluge (we note that the kluge spelling better reflects its pronunciation; the word rhymes with huge, not fudge), but again, nothing in this life is certain but death and taxes, and these days also computer malfunctions.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 6, 2023 is: fulcrum • FULL-krum • noun In technical use, fulcrum refers to the support on which a lever moves when it is used to lift something. In figurative use, fulcrum refers to a person or thing that makes it possible for something to function or develop, or in other words, one who plays an essential role in something. // Although the lead actor was phenomenal, critics believe that the supporting cast was the real fulcrum of the show. See the entry > Examples: "For now, [Super Nintendo World] is entirely focused on Mario and the Mushroom Kingdom. ... According to [Shinya] Takahashi, while other properties have been considered ... it just made the most sense to start with Mario. 'When you think of Nintendo you think Mario,' he says. 'He's the fulcrum around which everything revolves.'" — Andrew Webster, TheVerge.com, 22 Feb. 2023 Did you know? Fulcrum, which means "bedpost" in Latin, comes from the verb fulcire, which means "to prop." When the word fulcrum was first used in the 17th century, it referred to the point on which a lever or similar device (such as the oar of a boat) is supported. The literal use easily supported figurative use, and it didn't take long for the word to develop a meaning referring to one deemed essential to the function or development of something. Despite fulcrum's multiple senses, the word's meanings have kept a steady theme. In zoology, fulcrum refers to a part of an animal that serves as a hinge or support, such as the joint supporting a bird's wing.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 15, 2022 is: morass • muh-RASS • noun Morass is used literally to refer to an area of soft, wet ground, especially a marsh or swamp. It is also often used figuratively to mean “a complicated or unpleasant situation that is difficult to get out of or to move through.” // I'm often late getting to work when mud season turns my dirt road into an all but impassable morass. // Social media can make it difficult to discern the truth of something amid the morass of misinformation. See the entry > Examples: “The tax credits are actually a confusing morass of eligibility requirements and sourcing provisions that may ultimately limit what people purchase.” — Andrew J. Hawkins, TheVerge.com, 17 Aug. 2022 Did you know? We won't swamp you with details: morass comes from the Dutch word moeras, which itself derives from an Old French word, maresc, meaning “marsh.” Morass has been part of English for centuries, and in its earliest uses was a synonym of swamp or marsh. (That was the sense Robert Louis Stevenson used when he described Long John Silver emerging from “a low white vapour that had crawled during the night out of the morass” in Treasure Island.) Imagine walking through a thick, muddy swamp: it's easy to compare such slogging to an effort to extricate yourself from a sticky situation. By the mid-19th century, morass had gained a figurative sense, and could refer to any predicament that was as murky, confusing, or difficult to navigate as a literal swamp.
