Raspberry Pi owners have always been prone to coming up with elaborate, technically-interesting-but-practically-questionable projects, and Pi enthusiast Jeff Geerling has an exciting new submission to that canon: an old AMD Radeon RX 460 GPU, connected to the Raspberry Pi 5’s PCI Express bus and managing to play demanding titles like Doom 3 (2004) and Tux Racer at a crisp 4K resolution. Geerling’s maze of adapters, software tweaks, and workarounds is a testament…
If 2022 was the year AI image generators went mainstream, 2024 has arguably been the year that AI video synthesis models exploded in capability. These models, while not yet perfect, can generate new videos from text descriptions called prompts, still images, or existing videos. After OpenAI made waves with Sora in February, two major AI models emerged from China: Kuaishou Technology’s Kling and Minimax’s video-01. Both Chinese models have already powered…

The phone’s hallmark is, of course, a foldable 7.6-inch OLED screen with 2208×1768 pixels running at a…
On Tuesday, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics to John J. Hopfield of Princeton University and Geoffrey E. Hinton of the University of Toronto for their foundational work in machine learning with artificial neural networks. Hinton notably captured headlines in 2023 for warning about the threat that AI superintelligence may pose to humanity. The win came as a surprise to many, including Hinton…
Reliable rumors have suggested that M4 Macs are right around the corner, and now Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is forecasting a specific launch date: November 1, following a late-October announcement that mirrors last year’s Halloween-themed reveal for the first M3 Macs. This date could be subject to change, and not all the products announced in October would necessarily launch on November 1—lower-end Macs are more likely to launch early, and higher-end…
