All Places in the Atlas on One Map Atlas Obscura catalogues the most unusual, surprising, and amazing places around the world, thanks to the discoveries shared by our intrepid community of travelers and explorers. There are now more than 28,600 incredible hidden wonders listed in the Atlas, and we’ve plotted each and every one of them on this interactive map. The possibilities are vast, from a pizzeria on a volcano to a rainbow-hued salt lake, to an observatory modeled after R2D2, to the last wild apple forests and thousands of other architectural oddities, natural wonders, catacombs and crypts, and unique collections across the world’s continents and oceans. Start exploring, and see what rabbit holes you may stumble down. And if you know of an incredible place that we missed, you can add it to the Atlas here! Hungry for more?

Graphique en 3D - Les idéologies et organisations Développé en complément de l'épisode 3 de la chaîne Youtube Esprit Critique, "la politique par les jeux de rôles", ce graphique interactif est le résultat des réflexions développées dans l'épisode. Il propose un classement des idéologies politiques sur 3 axes. Le choix des axes est justifié dans l'épisode comme étant d'après moi les plus déterminants et parlants. Quant au placement des idéologies sur ces axes (et leur nombre de variantes représentées par les bulles), il est presque entièrement subjectif et reflète ma façon de penser. Ce classement ne prétend pas remplacer le clivage Gauche/Droite, il s'y superpose (activez le clivage gauche/droite dans les options pour voir comment). L'application est prévue pour être intuitive, cliquez partout, vous finirez par trouver ce que vous cherchez. Cette application est développée par Tzitzimitl à l'aide de Blender et Blend4web et partagée sous licence Creative Commons CC By-NC-SA. Presque tous les éléments du graphique sont modifiables.

Creare video con avatar realistici grazie all'AI Quello che vedete non sono io e non è neanche una persona esistente. E' un video in cui viene utilizzato un avatar artificiale, generato sulla piattaforma AI di Studio Neiro. Studio Neiro AI ci introduce in un mondo in cui gli avatar generati dall'intelligenza artificiale possono avere caratteristiche umane e microespressioni che rappresentano fedelmente il tono con cui vogliamo condividere i nostri messaggi. Ma cosa rende davvero speciale questa risorsa? Ad esempio, la possibilità di personalizzare la voce dell'avatar AI per adattarla alla personalità di chi parla. Immaginate la possibilità di creare video, tutorial o presentazioni con un avatar che non solo assomigli a ciò che vogliamo trasmettere in termini di contenuti, ma rifletta anche un "sentiment" attraverso la sua voce e le sue espressioni. Ciò che colpisce è la tecnologia di sincronizzazione labiale di Studio Neiro AI, che offre oltre 30 avatar di alta qualità. La versione gratuita impone un limite di un minuto di registrazione

AlgoTransparency We want to see which information the YouTube algorithm is showing to people. This algorithms is responsible for more than 700,000,000 hours of watch time every day, and it is not fully understood, even by the people who build it. Recommended videos appear in the “Up next” list on the right of the screen. We used a multi-step program to analyze videos recommended by its algorithm every day Step 1: We start from a list of 1000+ US channels (these channels are listed below) Step 2: We gather all recommended videos from the last video uploaded by these channels Step 3: We compute which channel was recommended the most from those videos Step 4: We repeat step 2 and 3 until we have gathered recommendations from 2000 channels Step 5: For each video that was observed, we count and display from how many channels it was recommended The Globe and Mail Dr. See an important information channel that is missing from this list?

Bard, 7 applicazioni alternative per sfruttare al massimo l'AI di Google | Wired Italia Nel tentativo di promuovere i suoi prodotti di intelligenza artificiale, Google continua a rafforzare il portafoglio di servizi, strumenti e competenze di Bard, il chatbot dell'azienda e principale concorrente di ChatGPT. Recentemente il sistema AI del colosso ha ricevuto un aggiornamento chiamato Bard Extensions, che gli permette di connettersi agli account Gmail, a Google Docs e ai file contenuti nel servizio cloud dell'azienda, Google Drive, con l'obiettivo di generare risposte più logiche e accurate alle domande degli utenti. Ora il chatbot è in grado di sintetizzare una lunga catena di email o di trasformare una conversazione complessa in frasi facili da interpretare. Prima di questo aggiornamento, Google aveva potenziato l'algoritmo di Bard in modo da verificare l'accuratezza delle sue risposte utilizzando come fonte i contenuti di YouTube e Google Maps.

Meet the 7 deadly sins of statistical misinterpretation - and how to avoid them Statistics is a useful tool for understanding the patterns in the world around us. But our intuition often lets us down when it comes to interpreting those patterns. In this series we look at some of the common mistakes we make and how to avoid them when thinking about statistics, probability and risk. 1. Assuming small differences are meaningful Many of the daily fluctuations in the stock market represent chance rather than anything meaningful. You can avoid drawing faulty conclusions about the causes of such fluctuations by demanding to see the “margin of error” relating to the numbers. If the difference is smaller than the margin of error, there is likely no meaningful difference, and the variation is probably just down to random fluctuations. 2. We often hear generalisations about how two groups differ in some way, such as that women are more nurturing while men are physically stronger. You can avoid this error by asking for the “effect size” of the differences between groups. 3. 4. 5.

ChatGPT per fare ricerche per documenti e presentazioni Molti ritengono che ChatGPT sia uno strumento capace di rimpiazzare il lavoro umano in attività come la redazione di documenti per scopi accademici o professionali. Tuttavia, il chatbot di OpenAI può anche essere utilizzata per supportare il lavoro umano, e la ricerca ne è un esempio eccellente. Quando si deve realizzare un documento di ricerca per la scuola o una ricerca di mercato per il lavoro, una delle fasi più difficili e dispendiose è quella di individuare e selezionare le fonti più appropriate. ChatGPT e altri chatbot basati sull’intelligenza artificiale possono semplificare questo compito, fornendo suggerimenti e indicazioni per trovare le fonti più rilevanti e affidabili. In questo modo, si può risparmiare tempo e dedicarsi maggiormente alla lettura e all’analisi delle fonti, che sono le parti essenziali del lavoro di ricerca. Per sfruttare al meglio ChatGPT, è bene essere consapevoli dei suoi limiti. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

This revealing map shows the world's ships in real time The ocean is a big place, which makes it a pretty difficult thing to wrap our brains around. It covers over 70% of the Earth’s surface, is home to millions of species of life, and it makes up 97% of all water on the planet. But, with this massive size and ubiquity also comes a significant challenge for humans interested in trade: it must be constantly traversed in order for us to move goods around. As a result, millions of people hit the high seas each day to get cargo from one place to another. Every Ship at Sea We previously posted an interactive map of shipping routes that used 250 million data points to show how boats moved across the ocean. Today, in a similar vein, we highlight a website that tracks the world’s ships in real-time, providing a unique picture of what is happening at sea. You may be wondering, does this really show every ship at sea? Well, it might not catch your Uncle Steve’s sailboat off the coast of Florida, but this map will show all major commercial vessels. Oops.

untitled Ships are triggering intense lightning storms Heavily-laden ships carrying trade around the world leave behind a trail of storms and lightning. That’s the hypothesis of a team of researchers at the University of Washington, who found that emissions from ships were triggering intense lightning storms. The scientists at the Department of Atmospheric Sciences analyzed data from the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN) and noticed a certain pattern of lightning strikes across the Indian Ocean. The pattern could not be put down to atmospheric conditions. Image: Thomton et al/Geophysical Research Letters/AGU “We already know that ships influence cloudiness and clouds,” the study’s lead author Joel A. Using WWLLN data, the team looked at the locations of 1.5 billion lightning strikes from 2005 to 2016 and plotted them against shipping channels across the ocean. In fact, lightning is more than twice as likely to occur directly above heavily-trafficked shipping lanes in the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea. Share
