A new weekly newsletter from MIT Technology Review, "Making AI Work," aims to explore the practical applications of artificial intelligence across various industries, while an Apple Watch can be a useful tool for parents to keep track of their children. Meanwhile, cross-country skier Jessie Diggins prepares for her fourth and final Olympics, and a new tool simulates camera settings. Finally, one user has spent 18,000,000 minutes in a memory emulation experience.
MIT Technology Review launched "Making AI Work," a new weekly newsletter designed to delve into the real-world uses of AI. Each edition will feature a case study examining a specific AI application within a given industry, followed by an analysis of the AI tool itself and how other companies or sectors are utilizing it. The newsletter seeks to provide professionals with the knowledge needed to apply AI in their daily work, according to MIT Technology Review.
In other tech news, parents are increasingly turning to the Apple Watch for child safety. One parent, after an incident where their child was separated from them at a playground, decided to equip their children with the device. The Apple Watch, known for its versatility, offers features like texting and fitness tracking, making it a practical tool for staying connected and monitoring children's whereabouts, according to Wired.
On the sports front, Jessie Diggins, the most decorated cross-country skier in American history, is preparing for her fourth and final Olympics. Diggins, who secured the first US gold in cross-country skiing at Pyeongchang, is competing in Milan. She told WIRED that she is "more confident, more empowered, and more invested in the world beyond the sport." Diggins also advocates for mental health and eating disorder recovery.
In the realm of photography, a new tool called "Exposure Simulator" allows users to simulate final photographs based on camera settings. The simulator demonstrates depth-of-field and image noise, offering three shooting modes: Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, and Manual. However, the tool does not work with Internet Explorer, according to Hacker News.
Finally, one user of a memory emulation experience has reached a significant milestone: 18,000,000 minutes spent inside the "Remembrance Machine." The user, who has revisited 206 discrete memory locations spanning 35 years of life, received a complimentary data highlight package. The data revealed that the user had spent nearly half their average lifespan in the experience, according to Nature News.
