Don't Want Gemini to Learn About You? How to Turn That New Feature Off

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-29 00:52:02

The more you chat with Google's Gemini, the better it will get to know you thanks to a new learning feature in the generative AI chatbot. Gemini has already been able to recall past conversations if you ask it to, but this new functionality will allow it to learn your preferences and interact with you in more personalized ways, Google said. But if you don't want an AI to learn about you, you can turn it off. AI chatbots have seen their memories grow longer this year. Other tools, like OpenAI'

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority Google keeps giving Gemini more tricks on our phones, like a magician stuffing rabbits in a hat. On the Pixel 10 series, Gemini talks to apps, performs unreal voice translations, helps take better photos, and basically shows off its abilities every chance it gets. Visual guidance is also one of Gemini’s newest party tricks to debut alongside Google’s latest flagships.

The Math Behind GANs

news.ycombinator.com Jake Tae 2025-10-29 13:42:35

Generative Adversarial Networks refer to a family of generative models that seek to discover the underlying distribution behind a certain data generating process. This distribution is discovered through an adversarial competition between a generator and a discriminator. As we saw in an earlier introductory post on GANs, the two models are trained such that the discriminator strives to distinguish between generated and true examples, while the generator seeks to confuse the discriminator by produ

I've been trying to use my iPhone as a portable gaming machine for years, but I often hit the same roadblocks when trying to have it replace my Nintendo Switch when I travel.

FEMA Staffers Warned of Looming ‘Katrina-Level’ Disaster, Then Got Suspended

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-10-30 04:50:58

It’s been 20 years since Hurricane Katrina slammed into the U.S. Gulf Coast, killing nearly 1,400 people and displacing up to 1.2 million more. The storm’s impact overwhelmed the Federal Emergency Management Agency, revealing fatal flaws in its disaster response. The agency’s failure prompted Congress to overhaul FEMA largely through the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act (PKEMRA). This set higher expectations for its leaders and enhanced its autonomy within the Department of Homela
