My little theory is that the concept of “imprinting” in psychology can just as easily be applied to programming: Much as a baby goose decides that the first moving life-form it encounters is its ...

Researchers found that neurons can use fat, not just sugar, to power the brain. When a protein called DDHD2 fails, this process breaks down and leads to serious brain problems. Scientists were able to ...

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like the real thing – a breakthrough that could transform computing, medicine, ...

We did an informal poll around the Hackaday bunker and decided that, for most of us, our favorite programming language is solder. However, [Stephen Cass] over at IEEE Spectrum released their annual ...

Jensen Huang said people programming AI is similar to the way "you program a person." Speaking at London Tech Week, the Nvidia CEO said all anyone had to do to program AI was "just ask nicely." He ...

Jensen Huang is the CEO of $3.48 trillion AI chipmaker Nvidia. At London Tech Week on Monday, Huang said that AI enables anyone to write code, simply by prompting a chatbot to do it for them. The ...

People with motor neuron disease should be allowed to say whatever they want, including “arse” and “knickers.” This article first appeared in The Checkup, MIT Technology Review’s weekly biotech ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of laser-based artificial neuron that mimics a biological nerve cell. This artificial neuron could boost high-speed computing and artificial intelligence (AI), ...

Are you a coder? Please take our new survey (it's short and fun) about how you use AI at work. HTML is deceptive. It looks easy. And easy HTML is easy. With a few tags you can write your name on a ...
