The release of The Finals during The Game Awards was met with overwhelming excitement and anticipation. The popularity of the game has only grown since the open beta last month. However, amidst the positive reception, there has been some negative feedback from players regarding the perceived slowdown in player movement compared to the beta version.
In their quest to create miniaturized and lightweight optics, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have successfully developed compact, visible wavelength achromats using 3D printing and porous silicon. This breakthrough in materials science and engineering has enormous potential for various applications in imaging technology. The innovative hybrid micro-optics developed by the team offer high
EU member states and lawmakers have reached a groundbreaking agreement on regulating artificial intelligence (AI) models, following 36 hours of intense negotiations. This “historic” deal, which took place in Brussels, paves the way for the EU to become the first continent to establish clear rules for the use of AI. The agreement aims to strike
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in the UK has launched an investigation into the partnership between Microsoft, a leading US tech giant, and OpenAI, an artificial intelligence (AI) developer. The CMA aims to determine whether this collaboration resembles a merger and evaluate its potential impact on competition within the UK. This move by the
In a bold and unconventional move, Mistral AI, a Paris-based open-source model startup, recently released their latest language AI model called MoE 8x7B. Rather than following the traditional route of papers, blogs, code, or press releases, Mistral took a completely different approach. They simply shared a link to a large torrent file for users to
Google recently launched its highly anticipated artificial intelligence (AI) model called Gemini. While the company touted its capabilities and presented a demonstrative video to showcase its potential, it is now facing scrutiny due to the video’s misleading nature and the discrepancy between expectations and reality. The six-minute demonstration video highlights some of the remarkable abilities
Understanding the inner workings of the brain has always been a complex task for scientists and researchers. However, a recent study conducted by European scientists has shown promising results in using highly sensitive sensors based on color centers in a diamond to record electrical activity from neurons in living brain tissue. This groundbreaking research opens
In a surprising turn of events, two of the biggest indie games in recent years are coming together in a highly anticipated crossover. Among Us and Vampire Survivors will join forces in a piece of downloadable content (DLC) titled “Emergency Meeting”. This collaboration is set to bring a fresh and exciting experience to fans of
