Tesla, as promised, showed the world a new all-electric car - a compact crossover called Model Y. It is reported that the electric car uses the same architecture as the "people's" Model 3 electric car. Similarities can also be traced in the exterior. At the same time, the crossover is about 10% larger than the sedan. The driver has a large touch screen in the center console. […]
The developers from Avalanche Studios presented the release trailer of the shooter about the battle with intelligent machines Generation Zero. In the video you will see what dangers people will face in the world of alternative history. “Play cat and mouse in a huge open world, set in an alternate Sweden in the 1980s, when aggressive machines have taken over a serene agrarian country,” the authors say. “You need to organize resistance […]
In addition to the new family of Comet Lake processors, the latest version of drivers for Intel integrated graphics processors for Linux-based operating systems also mentions the upcoming Elkhart Lake generation of Atom single-chip platforms. And they are interesting precisely because of their built-in graphics. The thing is that these Atom chips will be equipped with integrated graphics processors on the latest […]
The European Southern Observatory (ESO, European Southern Observatory) has released a breathtaking image of NGC 1788, a reflection nebula lurking in the darkest regions of the constellation Orion. The image shown below was taken with the Very Large Telescope as part of ESO's Space Treasures program. This initiative involves photographing interesting, mysterious or simply beautiful objects. The program runs at a time when the telescopes […]
A few days ago it became known that Qualcomm made changes to the technical specifications of a number of Snapdragon mobile processors, indicating support for cameras with a resolution of up to 192 million pixels. Now representatives of the company have commented on this issue. Recall that support for 192-megapixel cameras is now announced for five chips. These are Snapdragon 670, Snapdragon 675, Snapdragon 710, Snapdragon 845 and Snapdragon […]
At the end of last week there was great news: two of our partners (Huawei and Nutanix) announced a partnership in the field of HCI. Huawei server hardware has now been added to the Nutanix hardware compatibility list. Huawei-Nutanix HCI is built on the FusionServer 2288H V5 (this is a 2U dual-processor server). The jointly developed solution is designed to create flexible cloud platforms capable of handling enterprise […]
WhatsApp co-founder Brian Acton spoke earlier this week to an audience of students at Stanford University. There, he told the audience about how the decision to sell Facebook was made, and also urged students to delete their accounts on the largest social network. Mr. Acton reportedly spoke at the undergraduate […]
Microsoft has released a fresh update for users of the SwiftKey virtual keyboard. So far, this is a beta version, which has the number 7.2.6.24 and adds some changes and improvements. One of the main updates can be considered a new flexible keyboard resizing system. To use it, you need to go to Tools > Options > Size and adjust the keyboard for yourself. Also fixed […]
Less than two years ago, DARPA launched the Lifelong Learning Machines (L2M) program to create continuously learning robotic systems with artificial intelligence elements. The L2M program was supposed to lead to the emergence of self-learning platforms that could themselves adapt to the new environment without prior programming or training. Simply put, the robots were supposed to learn from their mistakes, not […]
On March 14, 2019, at 22:14 Moscow time, the Soyuz-FG launch vehicle with the Soyuz MS-1 transport manned spacecraft successfully launched from pad No. 12 (“Gagarin Start”) of the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Another long-term expedition set off to the International Space Station (ISS): the ISS-59/60 team included Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexei Ovchinin, NASA astronauts Nick Haig and Christina Cook. At 22:23 Moscow time […]
The Chinese company Huawei has introduced a "smart" watch Kids Watch 3, designed specifically for young users.

The equipment includes a 0,3-megapixel camera, a flash module with a capacity of 32 MB, and a 2G modem for connecting to cellular networks. […]
As has been reported many times, something needs to be done with a transistor smaller than 5 nm. Today, chip manufacturers are producing the most advanced solutions using vertical FinFET gates. FinFET transistors can still be produced using 5-nm and 4-nm technical processes (whatever these standards mean), but already at the stage of production of 3-nm semiconductors, FinFET structures stop working […]
