“There are many thousands of data repositories on the web, providing access to millions of datasets; and local and national governments around the world publish their data as well. To enable easy access to this data, we launched Dataset Search, so that scientists, data journalists, data geeks, or anyone else can find the data required for their work and their stories, or simply to satisfy their intellectual curiosity“.

“Google et DeepMind ont convenu de bien délimiter le champ d’action des algorithmes d’optimisation afin d’éviter un incident d’exploitation. « Nos opérateurs sont toujours en contrôle et peuvent choisir de quitter le mode de contrôle de l’IA à tout moment. Dans ces scénarios, le système de contrôle passera du contrôle de l’intelligence artificielle aux règles et heuristiques sur site qui définissent aujourd’hui l’industrie de l’automatisation », précise la société. En suivant ce chemin, il s’avère que Google a réduit sa facture électrique : en moyenne, l’entreprise dit avoir obtenu des économies d’énergie de 30 % alors que le mécanisme n’est déployé que depuis quelques mois”.
“Et Apple alors ? Eh bien Apple ne conserve pas vos conversations. Elles sont traitées et supprimées. Cela signifie que vous n’avez pas d’historique”.
“Dans l’un de ses messages publiés le 28 août, Donald Trump menace directement Google : « Cette situation est très grave, et nous allons nous en occuper. » Le 5 septembre, le PDG de Twitter, Jack Dorsey, est convoqué par la majorité républicaine devant une commission du Congrès, où il sera interrogé sur les règles de modération de son réseau social — la majeure partie des questions de la droite devrait concerner la prétendue « censure » visant les conservateurs”.

“An idle Android device communicates with Google nearly 10 times more frequently as an Apple device communicates with Apple servers. These results highlighted the fact that Android and Chrome platforms are critical vehicles for Google’s data collection. Again, these experiments were done on stationary phones with no user interactions. If you actually use your phone the information collection increases with Google”.
“In fact, location information constituted 35 percent of all the data samples sent to Google”.

“Mr. Vassilev, 32, does not provide the views himself. His website, 500Views.com, connects customers with services that offer views, likes and dislikes generated by computers, not humans. When a supplier cannot fulfill an order, Mr. Vassilev — like a modern switchboard operator — quickly connects with another. “I can deliver an unlimited amount of views to a video,” Mr. Vassilev said in an interview. “They’ve tried to stop it for so many years, but they can’t stop it. There’s always a way around.””

“Built by creative agency Redpepper, There’s Waldo zeroes in and finds Waldo with a sniper-like accuracy. The metal robotic arm is a Raspberry Pi-controlled uArm Swift Pro which is equipped with a Vision Camera Kit that allows for facial recognition. The camera takes a photo of the page, which then uses OpenCV to find the possible Waldo faces in the photo. The faces are then sent to be analyzed by Google’s AutoML Vision service, which has been trained on photos of Waldo. If the robot determines a match with 95 percent confidence or higher, it’ll point to all the Waldos it can find on the page”.

“The spike in popularity comes after a number of major platforms dropped Infowars this week on the grounds that the show’s conspiracy theories violate community guidelines. Yesterday, Apple pulled five of Jones’ six Infowars-branded podcasts from its Podcasts app. Since then, Facebook, YouTube, Spotify, and others have all taken steps to remove Jones’ content from their platforms. Previously, the Alex Jones Channel had more than 2.5 million subscribers.
Following these removals, the Infowars app was flooded with five-star reviews championing the idea of free speech, with titles like “Infowars WILL NOT be silenced.””
