Thus most of the time the operation is not needed. And although it is necessary, the laparoscopy is thrown out by three small holes in the belly.

HP Makes Detachable Chromebooks A Reality!
Detachable Chromebooks, which double as both Clamshell Laptops and standalone Tablets, are finally a reality, and the first company to bring them to market in partnership with Google is HP.
Whether you think this one is the 'One To Get', or will wait and see what other companies offer (or perhaps future HP models), this is a big step, and probably foreshadows the future of Chrome OS tablets for most consumers: not as true standalone products, but as part of a 2-in-1 PC/Tablet Form Factor.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! For many of us, the spring already started! While planting outside, how about planting some indoor plants? There are plenty of toxins floating around outside, but we can find plenty of toxins in the air inside your own home as well. The air inside is affected by the cleaning products, formaldehyde found in gas stoves, garbage bags, paper towels, fragrances and many other chemicals we use inside the home. Houseplants are an effective and simple way to purify the air. Here is a list of air purifying houseplants!!

What the team came up with is a system called Robot-Assisted Precision Irrigation Delivery (RAPID) that uses a machine to monitor and adjust water emitters attached to irrigation lines.

Still sad the Note series for tables got discontinued by Samsung. Anyway, after my Note 2, Note 10.1 and my mom's Note 2 all mysteriously died, I'm looking for alternatives with styles apart from Samsung. Besides, buying from a country who doesn't eat dogs should also be encouraged.

Will This “Neural Lace” Brain Implant Help Us Compete with AI?
Solar-powered self-driving cars, reusable space ships, Hyperloop transportation, a mission to colonize Mars: Elon Musk is hell-bent on turning these once-far-fetched fantasies into reality. But none of these technologies has made him as leery as artificial intelligence. At Code Conference 2016, Musk stated publicly that given the current rate of A.I. advancement, humans could ultimately expect to be left behind—cognitively, intellectually—“by a lot.” His solution to this unappealing fate is a novel brain-computer interface similar to the implantable “neural lace” described by the Scottish novelist Iain M. Banks in Look to Windward, part of his “Culture series” books. Along with serving as a rite of passage, it upgrades the human brain to be more competitive against A.I.’s with human-level or higher intelligence. Smarter artificial intelligence is certainly being developed, but how far along are we on producing a neural lace? At the conference, Musk said he didn’t know of any company that was working on one. He’s since co-founded Neuralink to do just that (“Neuralink is developing ultra high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces to connect humans and computers”). But research on neural laces has been well under way. In 2015, a team of researchers led by Charles Lieber, the Mark Hyman Professor of Chemistry at Harvard University, described in Nature Nanotechnology a lace-like electronic mesh that “you could literally inject” into three-dimensional synthetic and biological structures like the brain. That was a major step.

The London-based, Turkish-born visual artist Memo Akten applies algorithms to the webcam feed as a way to reflect on the technology and, by extension, on ourselves. Each instalment in his Learning to See series features a pre-trained deep-neural network ‘trying to make sense of what it sees, in context of what it’s seen before’. In Gloomy Sunday, the algorithm draws from tens of thousands of images scraped from the Google Arts Project, an extensive collection of super-high-resolution images of notable artworks.

Computer system transcribes words users 'speak silently'
Researchers have developed a computer interface that can transcribe words that the user verbalizes internally but does not actually speak aloud. Electrodes in the device pick up neuromuscular signals in the jaw and face that are triggered by internal verbalizations -- saying words 'in your head' -- but are undetectable to the human eye...used a neural network to find correlations between particular neuromuscular signals and particular words. Like most neural networks, the one the researchers used is arranged into layers of simple processing nodes, each of which is connected to several nodes in the layers above and below. Data are fed into the bottom layer, whose nodes process it and pass them to the next layer, whose nodes process it and pass them to the next layer, and so on. The output of the final layer yields is the result of some classification task. The basic configuration of the researchers' system includes a neural network trained to identify subvocalized words from neuromuscular signals, but it can be customized to a particular user through a process that retrains just the last two layers.

Boababs are fat-trunked trees that are native only to Madagascar and North-Western Australia. They have been known to attain girths of almost 30m, with a diameter of about 9-10m. It is thought that boababs live up to 2,000 - 6,000 years.

Experiment with a water hauling robot in a village in rural India. "None of the people in this study had ever seen a real robot of any kind before."
"A Clearpath Robotics Husky was equipped with a crate that could hold three jugs of water, totalling 60 liters, much more than a single person could carry by themselves. A Bluetooth speaker allowed the robot to communicate with people in a synthetic male voice (speaking Tamil, the local language). The robot wasn't autonomous; a researcher remote controlled it from about 10 meters away, and this method of operation was made clear to the participants in the study."
"One hundred percent of the participants perceived the robot as being alive, attributing aliveness to the movement and speech of the robot, for example two of them said 'Without being alive, how can it talk?', 'Only because it has life, it is following us, right?'"
"At the same time, the participants were fully aware that there was a human controlling the robot, and most of them expressed some amount of confidence that they'd be willing to operate it if given lessons. Generally, the impressions of the robot were positive -- everyone said that it made the water hauling job easier, and most felt like the experience was safe and enjoyable."
