Neurotech startup Paradromics on Monday announced it has implanted its brain-computer interface in a human for the first time. The procedure took place May 14 at the University of Michigan with a patient who was already undergoing neurosurgery to treat epilepsy. The company's technology was implanted and removed from the patient's brain in about 20 minutes during that surgery. Paradromics said the procedure demonstrated that its system can be safely implanted and record neural activity. It's a

In 1995, musician and producer Brian Eno made a profound observation about computer sequencers that has become increasingly relevant in our AI-powered world: “The great benefit of computer sequencers is that they remove the issue of skill, and replace it with the issue of judgement.

This loss is a fundamental aspect of how computers operate. For example, when a computer adds two numbers together, it returns a single number for the total: 2 + 2 = 4. There’s a loss of information as you go from two numbers to one. You could have added 2 and 2, or you could have combined 1 and 3. The missing information makes the calculation irreversible. Computers that process information this way — and almost all of them do — are always going to lose some information as heat, no matter what.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. When she was 10 years old, Rose Yu got a birthday present that would change her life—and, potentially, the way we study physics. Her uncle got her a computer. That was a rare commodity in China 25 years ago, and the gift did not go unused. At first, Yu mainly played computer games, but in middle school she won an award for web design. It was the first of many computer-related honors. Yu went on to major in computer science at Zhej

If you’re looking to buy a new laptop, here’s some important advice: you don’t need the best and the brightest. You don’t need the newest model. You don’t need the most expensive one, either. You can get along just fine with lower specs at a lower price point. Because you probably don’t need all the best specs or anything like that, especially if you aren’t using your computer for intensive tasks.

A hot potato: Google has reignited debate over the future of digital security, revealing that the hardware needed to break widely used encryption could be closer than previously thought. The research, led by Craig Gidney and posted to the preprint server arXiv, shows that a 2,048-bit RSA encryption key – a standard for online security – could be cracked in less than a week by a quantum computer with fewer than one million noisy qubits. The finding is a dramatic reduction from earlier estimates

They were not, however, the true antecedents of the first ‘personal computers’.
