Humans Counted 8,600 Earthquakes in Yellowstone. AI Says We’re Not Even Close

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-07-26 15:25:37

Before the advent of artificial intelligence, experts often detected earthquakes by analyzing seismic data by hand. Unsurprisingly, this approach takes a long time, is cost-intensive, and usually identifies fewer earthquakes. Machine learning has now changed virtually everything. Using artificial intelligence, researchers have retroactively identified and assigned magnitudes to ten times as many seismic events in historical earthquake data from the Yellowstone caldera from 2008 to 2022 as had b

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Google is testing a new “Unhold” shortcut in call notifications through its Phone app. The new button replaces the “Mute” button whenever a user puts a call on hold. Although not yet live, this change would improve usability by allowing users to resume held calls more efficiently. Google doesn’t mess around that much with the Google Phone app. It makes sense too, as you don’t want to disturb muscle memory for people for crucial tasks like calls. But e

Artificial intelligence has the power to tackle humanity’s challenges, big and small, from scheduling meetings to modeling molecules. But to truly transform how we live and work for the better, we need an AI assistant(new window) built responsibly — putting people and privacy first.

engadget.com Unknown 2025-07-27 15:17:15

That means you could swap a controller from a PS5 to your gaming PC to your smartphone without needing to re-pair the DualSense each time. Up to four devices can be simultaneously paired with a single controller, and each of them will be mapped to one of the action buttons.
