Google's 'virtual satellite' AI model can provide a near real-time view of Earth

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-23 14:30:55

Google has introduced a new AI model called AlphaEarth Foundations that it says can function like a "virtual satellite." The model uses a system called "embedding," which works by taking big volumes of pubic information from various sources every day, such as optical satellites, radars and climate simulations, and then combining them all together. It then divides lands and coastal waters into 10x10 meter squares, which it then analyzes and tracks over time. As Wired explains, these squares are c

Mitja Rutnik / Android Authority AI is becoming more and more ingrained in our society, and that trend will only continue. I’ve been using ChatGPT and Gemini ever since they launched, and honestly, I can’t imagine my workday without them. I also use them for personal projects, which means I’ve shared a fair bit of highly private information with these chatbots. This brings up the crucial question of privacy.

DJI Osmo 360 review: A capable action cam that's a real threat to Insta360

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-23 18:00:19

DJI is finally taking on rising rival Insta360 with its first panoramic action camera, the Osmo 360. The company dug into its deep engineering toolkit in an effort to one-up the competition with features like a new sensor design, up to 8K 50 fps 10-bit log recording and a smaller, lighter body. It also matches or beats its rival in other areas, with similar battery life and superior low-light capability.

Its library is surprisingly expansive, covering everything from long-beloved classics like Cowboy Bebop and Naruto to more recent hits like Dandadan. Crunchyroll is exclusively for anime, so it remains our favorite service overall. That being said, it's worth subscribing to Netflix for its anime, too, if you want to cover all your bases.
