Saving the rainforest, AI multiplication, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#40)
Extremely packed week. Lots of stuff happening at the same time in the world (Nobel prizes, Tesla robots, AI learning to do matrix multiplications really well), but also at home (new lab, here I come!). Let’s get to it: Do the robot🤖 In the same week, we had robot presentations (nothing too interesting there, to…

James Webb bandwidth, copyright claims, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#28)
Long week, almost no time to read. Still, a few interesting articles to share. Let’s start: Long live Lofi Girl At some point this week I remember watching a video on my Youtube subscription feed that was +20k hours long. It was the Lofi Girl stream, which only emits live, but the stream ended after…

A drop in the ocean, crypto colonialism, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#16)
Slow week (holidays), but still managed to read some cool stuff. Let’s start: 1-hour delivery! To your door! At no additional cost! Not much to say, honestly. Apparently, getting to 55$ billion in sales by using cheap labour and stealing from sellers it is not enough to make a profit for Amazon. Having tax havens…

The metaverse is coming, and its start is not really impressive (as expected). On the bright side, a couple really cool articles on eyeglasses and the press. Let’s start: The invisible tech Good…

The Amazon’s gambit, China’s pre-criminals, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2021#41)
Not many news this week (mainly due to having so little time to read), but quite interesting topics. Let’s start! This is nice. I will sell it from now on Something I’ve heard many times before, but now with some exhibits. If you are selling something on Amazon and have quite some success, prepare to…

More Bezosism, Nixon deepfakes, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2021#40)
Quite a lot going on this week. Massive leaks, Nobel prizes, deepfakes, Facebook being shamed everywhere… let’s start. Can you tell the difference? Does it really matter? Cool technology being shown by the people at MIT. Of course, deepfakes are not something new, and this one in particular is not over the top in quality…

Apple being Apple, TikTok research, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2021#39)
Autumn is arriving, but we still have some sunlight every now and then. In any case, morning runs below 10º are common already… winter is coming. Research culture, and how to improve it Really nice couple articles on how research works nowadays, and which are some of the points we should try to improve to…
