gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-11-19 03:15:15

When audiences return to Lumon Industries sometime in the near future, it will be without a major component. Ben Stiller, one of the producers and directors of the hit Apple TV+ show Severance, will not be directing any episodes in season three. “I’m at the point in my life where I’m like, ‘The clock is ticking,’” Stiller told the Los Angeles Times. He’s currently getting ready to star in Focker-In-Law, the latest Meet the Parents movie, and is prepping his next feature film, a World War II sur

Late one night in his dorm room, Minh Le, a computer science major, was having a hard time concentrating on his studies. Le was a whiz with computers and had little trouble with the material at Simon Fraser University, a public research school just outside Vancouver, British Columbia. But a video game he had designed in his spare time was earning Le and his co-creator more than $20,000 every month from advertising.

Who Invented Backpropagation?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-19 06:50:21

Efficient backpropagation (BP) is central to the ongoing Neural Network (NN) ReNNaissance and "Deep Learning." Who invented it? BP's modern version (also called the reverse mode of automatic differentiation) was first published in 1970 by Finnish master student Seppo Linnainmaa [BP1] [R7]. In 2020, we celebrated BP's half-century anniversary! A precursor of BP was published by Henry J. Kelley in 1960 [BPA]—in 2020, we celebrated its 60-year anniversary.

The US May Have Already Lost the AI Race to China Due to a Key Weakness

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-18 03:00:36

You might have heard of an "AI race" heating up between the US and China, a bitter rivalry between two global adversaries that could shape the direction of world history. At least, that's how some in the US feel. While China has repeatedly tried to establish a geopolitical friendship with the richest nation in the world, officials and pundits in the US have doubled down, reframing artificial intelligence as the 21st century's nuclear bomb. In the meantime, China may have gotten a massive lead

Scientists Confirm What Every Beachgoer Secretly Fears About Seabirds

As a seabird researcher, Leo Uesaka spends most of his time reviewing hours of bird footage.
