Zoom sur cette célébrité parmi les IA. Quick, Draw! Google Earth VR : un tour du monde en réalité virtuelle. Puisqu'il est quasiment impossible de voyager dans le monde entier, Google propose de le faire de chez soi, par l'intermédiaire d'un casque de réalité virtuelle, en l'occurrence le Vive d'HTC, et d'une application dédiée, Google Earth VR.

Google Earth VR : un tour du monde en réalité virtuelle

L'idée est de pouvoir totalement s'immerger dans un survol virtuel de la Terre, et d'admirer aussi bien les grandes villes que les sites naturels exceptionnels vus du ciel. Google Earth VR permet ainsi un voyage sur quelques 510 millions de km², ce qui offre l'embarras du choix pour profiter durant des heures d'un spectacle véritablement exceptionnel. Plusieurs visites guidées sont mêmes proposées par défaut : des Alpes suisses au Grand Canyon aux États-Unis en passant par le fleuve Amazone. Hiring the Perfect IT Employee. Nothing can screw up a team faster than hiring a bad employee.

Hiring the Perfect IT Employee

The focus is often on certifications, degrees, and experience (CDEs). Softer traits like honesty and adaptation are often ignored. For the most part, it is easier to look at hard stats than to measure these soft qualities. Below are five specific traits you should look for along with the steps you can take to gauge these attributes. Focusing on these and the CDEs will help you hire the perfect IT employee. Honesty Of the five traits, honesty is the most important. Separating these two in an interview involves a bit of game theory.

Google boss warns of 'forgotten century' with email and photos at risk. Piles of digitised material – from blogs, tweets, pictures and videos, to official documents such as court rulings and emails – may be lost forever because the programs needed to view them will become defunct, Google’s vice-president has warned.

Google boss warns of 'forgotten century' with email and photos at risk

Humanity’s first steps into the digital world could be lost to future historians, Vint Cerf told the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s annual meeting in San Jose, California, warning that we faced a “forgotten generation, or even a forgotten century” through what he called “bit rot”, where old computer files become useless junk. Cerf called for the development of “digital vellum” to preserve old software and hardware so that out-of-date files could be recovered no matter how old they are. “We don’t want our digital lives to fade away. If we want to preserve them, we need to make sure that the digital objects we create today can still be rendered far into the future,” he added.

The problem is already here. The Brain Is Not Computable. A leading neuroscientist says Kurzweil’s Singularity isn’t going to happen.

The Brain Is Not Computable

Instead, humans will assimilate machines. February 18, 2013 Miguel Nicolelis, a top neuroscientist at Duke University, says computers will never replicate the human brain and that the technological Singularity is “a bunch of hot air.” “The brain is not computable and no engineering can reproduce it,” says Nicolelis, author of several pioneering papers on brain-machine interfaces. The Singularity, of course, is that moment when a computer super-intelligence emerges and changes the world in ways beyond our comprehension.

How Today's Computers Weaken Our Brain. At 10 P.M. on September 22, 1912, Franz Kafka, then a twenty-nine-year-old lawyer, sat down at his typewriter in Prague and began to write.

He wrote and wrote, and eight hours later he had finished “Das Urteil” (“The Judgment”). Kafka wrote in his diary, “I was hardly able to pull my legs out from under the desk, they had got so stiff from sitting. The fearful strain and joy, how the story developed before me, as if I were advancing over water.” He later described the one-sitting method as his preferred means of writing. eBooks : livres augmentés ou livres diminués.

How Browsers Work: Behind the scenes of modern web browsers - HTML5 Rocks

In this primer, I will explain how they work behind the scenes. We will see what happens when you type google.com in the address bar until you see the Google page on the browser screen. The browsers we will talk about There are five major browsers used on desktop today: Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Opera. On mobile, the main browsers are Android Browser, iPhone, Opera Mini and Opera Mobile, UC Browser, the Nokia S40/S60 browsers and Chrome–all of which, except for the Opera browsers, are based on WebKit. The browser's main functionality The main function of a browser is to present the web resource you choose, by requesting it from the server and displaying it in the browser window. The way the browser interprets and displays HTML files is specified in the HTML and CSS specifications.

Browser user interfaces have a lot in common with each other.

TIOBE - The Software Quality Company. TIOBE Index for February 2021 February Headline: it seems like nothing really changes Some say that the IT industry is changing continuously. Every day a new IT buzzword pops up somewhere. But if we take a closer look at the top 8 of the TIOBE index, it appears to be unchanged for the last 7 years. Does this mean that the programming language world hasn't change over the last years? It is interesting to note that positions 9 and 10 in the TIOBE index are not as fixed as the top 8. The TIOBE Programming Community index is an indicator of the popularity of programming languages.

The index can be used to check whether your programming skills are still up to date or to make a strategic decision about what programming language should be adopted when starting to build a new software system.
