That’s because running in a real-world environment is phenomenally complex. The quick pace leaves scant room for robots to encounter, recover from, and adapt to challenges (e.g., slippery surfaces, physical obstacles, or uneven terrain). What’s more, the stresses of running push hardware to its torque and stress limits. MIT CSAIL PhD student Gabriel Margolis and Institute of AI and Fundamental Interactions (IAIFI) postdoc fellow Ge Yang recently told MIT News: What separates the latest MIT Mini Cheetah is how it copes....

One day, I was scouring the MacOS App Store (as I’m wont to do) and I came across a simple little app that looked to be pretty promising. That app is called Shortcut For Google Apps and it is exactly what the name implies – it’s a tiny app that gives you quick access to shortcuts for the following Google apps: SearchGoogle DriveGmailYouTubeCalendarDocsMapsPhotosSheetsTranslate Simply put, you open the app and click on the Google app you want to work with, and your default browser will open to that app....

Given I spend most of my time in a web browser, it’s important that I can optimize that tool to fit my needs perfectly. Suffice it to say, when I discovered a way to eke out a bit more real estate from MacOS Safari, I jumped at the chance and made it so. What I’m talking about is Safari’s Compact Layout. Now, I’m going to warn you that this layout isn’t for everyone, as it shifts the address bar to individual tabs, which can become a bit crowded for some....

Using SSH is as simple as: Or even just: Of course, you would exchange the IP address for the address (or domain) of the machine you need to access. SSH gets a bit less simple when you have numerous machines you access with different configurations (such as different usernames or SSH authentication keys). Imagine if you had 20 or so different servers you had to log into daily. Not only would you have to keep track of the IP addresses or domains of those servers, but you’d also have to remember what usernames or authentication keys were used....

On any given week, I’ll have 25-30 articles scheduled to be written on my calendar. Very often, I find myself having to go through that calendar to check if I’ve either covered a particular subject or when I wrote something. Also: How to create multiple Google Calendars (and why you should) There are two routes I could take for locating those topics: Scroll through each week, looking for the topic....

Smart Thermostat Google Nest claims that it pays for itself in under two years. Let’s unpack how. Smart thermostats work by learning your habits and patterns of behavior (like when you’re home versus when you’re not) and then remembering those preferences to regulate your home’s temperature. Let’s say you normally wake up at 6 a.m., and at that time, you’d like the house to be at 72 degrees. You leave the house for work at 8 a....

Texts, emails, financial, medical. Then on top of that, smartphones can be used to track our movements and what we do online. It’s vital to keep them secured. But what do you do if someone has figured out a way into your iPhone? How do you even know if someone has found a way into your iPhone? Yeah, scary, isn’t it. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been assisting someone in this exact position....

The fact that this vulnerability is being used to attack systems means that these updates need to be installed as soon as possible. Review: Apple M2 Mac Mini: Faster, cheaper, better While Apple products are generally pretty good at updating themselves, given the severity of this vulnerability, combined with the fact that attacks are currently underway, it’s a good idea to check to see if you’re protected. So, grab your iPhones, iPads, and Macs, and let’s make sure they’re fully updated....

The enterprise software player reported third-quarter revenue of $6.9 billion, up 1% from a year ago, and a non-GAAP EPS of 47 cents a share. Analysts were expecting earnings of 42 cents per share on revenue of $6.93 billion.

Storage revenue was $1.2 billion, up 4% from the prior-year period....

Industry experts say that AI initiatives need everyone across the enterprise on board. “A copious amount of training data and elastic compute power are not the cornerstones for successful AI implementations,” says Sreedhar Bhagavatheeswaran, global head of Mindtree Consulting. That cornerstone of AI success is people – not only people with AI skills, but also those from all disciplines, from marketing to supply chain management. In recent years – and especially over the past year, as the need for automated or unattended processes accelerated, “enterprises learned that they must get stakeholder buy-in, with a true champion for AI within the organization’s leadership team,” says Dan Simion, VP of AI and analytics at Capgemini Americas....

Dubbed HX3D, the series will make use of “HP’s best-in-class 3D printing technology” to create keycaps, headset backplates and headband attachments, mouse add-ons, and other gaming products. HyperX plans limited-edition runs and collaborations. Also: Razer’s long-awaited wireless Viper Mini is here, but it’s still surprising While HyperX showed off nearly all of these categories of 3D-printed accessories in its demo video for the launch, only the custom-designed keycaps will be available initially....

I’d applied to use Microsoft’s new AI-driven, GPT-powered, infinitely-hyped new Bing, and the company emitted a sordid tease. First, it put me on the waiting list. Also: The new Bing waitlist is long. Here’s how to get earlier access Then it said it might move me up if I made Microsoft my all-encompassing PC default. I demurred, with more than one snort and huff. Moreover, many readers seemed to agree this was typical Microsoft bullying tactics....

The last time I was being interviewed for a job was certainly when America was still sane. Yet I never really prepared for particular questions to be asked. I merely feared that the first question would be: “Tell me a little about yourself.” Because that told me the interviewer likely hadn’t read my resumé or, if they had, could not remember anything about it. And didn’t care. Google’s stretching exercise So when I saw that Google had released a new online tool to help you practice for job interviews, my mind was intrigued, and my soul prepared to be saddened....

He’s an engineer and, from what he tells me, a very good one. He’s wonderful company and we always laugh together far beyond the human average. George, though, thinks about everything all the time. He analyzes, codifies, and rationalizes with a regularity that makes me wonder what it’s like inside his head. It must be like the 405 between LA and San Diego, a constantly humming blockage. I often ask him how he’s sleeping....

Showing a growth of 46% month-over-month, Apple saw the highest growth among all major brands in China during October 2021. The biggest casualty of Apple’s growth has been Huawei, which has seen its sales share drop over the past two years. It seems that Huawei’s fall from grace created a vacuum that Apple has been exploiting, especially the last couple of months. See also: Huawei revenue continues downward trend, Q3 total smashed by one-third....

Plus, you can use the apps without ads, in-app purchases, or distractions of any kind. The “Spotify of Mac apps” earned its nickname because it’s a subscription that allows you to use the latest version of an app without having to pay for expensive upgrades. Not only do you get access to all of the available apps when you subscribe, but you also get every new app that is added over time, as well....

With this in mind, iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 have a new feature that allows users to gather information on what apps are up to. But you have to turn the feature on yourself. This new feature is called Record App Activity. To find this feature, fire up Settings and go to Privacy, and scroll all the way down to the bottom where you’ll find Record App Activity. Tap on this and you get into Record App Activity, and as the name suggests, this allows you to record what apps are doing....
