If you are familiar with the world of anime, you may have heard of a property called . A show about a virtual second world that threatens to supersede reality. Now, in this show this is hyperbolic and the players are trapped inside the game and fighting for their life in reality. However, in the real world, there are tons of second lives that players will give more time to than their actual existence on earth. You hear of people pouring hundreds or thousands of hours into games like Skyrim. These second lives in game worlds or virtual worlds are otherwise known as metaverses. Sword Art Online What is A Metaverse? A metaverse by definition is an alternate reality or space where someone can virtually inhabit, interact with and physically feel a part of through enhancing factors such as VR, AR or online functionality. To put it more succinctly, it’s a virtual world which is built for masses of gamers to come together and live a fantasy life. However, metaverses aren’t exclusive to gamers. You can enter some metaverses with the intention to just chat and hang out. It offers a form of escape from the stresses and challenges of modern life and allows players to live out fantasies and do things that simply aren’t possible within the confines of the real world. It’s a sandbox where anything is possible and for many, this is a very appealing concept. What Are the Most Prominent Metaverses Within Modern Gaming? It really depends on how deep the player is willing to go and how committed they are to the material. If players simply want to be able to dip in and out of a very cohesive and ever expanding universe, then games such as Fortnite or Call of Duty Warzone offer this. These are games that offer constantly evolving stories, ever changing yet still recognisable environments and a wealth of activities to do, all without ever asking the player to role play or commit a character of any sort. If you want something that offers a middle ground where you can play a role, feel like you are a part of the world but not feel the need to consistently be online and within the space, then an open world RPG is perfect. Games such as Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, The Outer Worlds or practically any Ubisoft game offer the ability to explore huge open landscapes, spend your time as you wish and genuinely life a second life in any setting that you choose. However, if the player wishes to truly feel like an inhabitant of a world rather than a visitor or a spectator, then the MMORPG genre is the best way to go. Games such as World of Warcraft, OSRS or GTA Online offer some of the most nuanced, complex and detailed role playing options in gaming. With the latter, GTA Online recently evolving into a hub for extremely strict and moderated second life simulators that mirror modern life almost to the letter. It’s a phenomenon that showcases the scope of gaming metaverses as a whole and with the advances of modern technology, it is only the beginning. What Makes a Gaming Metaverse So Engaging? It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what makes a so successful and popular. However, there are several factors that are essential for a gaming metaverse to succeed. First, the game has to have an established audience. No metaverse can come to be without a large group of people who are willing to buy into the world presented before them. gaming metaverse This is why or GTA has been so successful, as these IP’s had gathered millions of players before growing their product into a metaverse that we see today. Fortnite Secondly, the world that developers create must be relatable, detailed, multi-faceted and have tonnes of content to experience with others. Games such as WoW, OSRS of to some extent Elder Scrolls Online have the most experience in this department. With an established world which has twenty years worth of Lore, quests, storylines and characters to draw from, it allows players to immerse themselves fully in the action and truly feel like part of the world. Then lastly, a metaverse can be enhanced by the way that players experience it. Now, VR and AR may still be in their infancy but we would assume that within the next decade, there will be VR and AR implementation into some of the most recognised metaverses out there. Which will only improve the game if done well. Being able to feel more physically in touch with this alternate reality will lead to a stronger player base, more gameplay options, a more social experience and overall, a more authentic metaverse to belong to. Are Gaming Metaverses Dangerous? With all the positivity for gaming metaverses, it is important to make reference to the hyperbolized story of SAO and ask, is this all really safe? Well, the simple answer is, within moderation. Belonging to another world that makes you happy and gives you purpose is great, far be it from anyone to tell you how to be happy. However, when this comes at a detriment to your own health, then there is an issue. It is important to give time to your real-world self. To exercise, have a fulfilling career, go out and experience the real world, have a healthy diet and socialise face to face with others. It’s about having a healthy balance and if you can find that, then these gaming metaverses offer no danger to you at all. So that is our rundown on all you need to know about gaming metaverses. What do you make of this new gaming phenomenon? Is it safe to devote so much of your life to a game? Which gaming metaverse do you believe is the most nuanced and complete?

Gaming Metaverses: All You Need To Know

In a recent publication, Apple explained how they used machine learning to directly recognize people in private photos on your iPhones and iPads without having access to your images to train their algorithms. For those of you with Apple products, you can actually research by the person in the Photos app. Indeed, using multiple machine learning-based algorithms that I will cover in this article, running privately on your device, you are able to accurately curate and organize your images and videos on iOS 15. It will recognize the different people and allow you to research in your pictures where the person appears. If you have thousands of photos like I do, you will already have different clusters each representing different people. For example, one such cluster could be all the photos where your friend John is in so that you can name it “John” and then search for images of John in your pictures to have them appear automatically. Watch the video to learn more! Watch the video References: ► Read the Full article: ►Apple, "Recognizing People in Photos Through Private On-Device Machine Learning", (2021), ►My Newsletter (A new AI application explained weekly to your emails!): https://www.louisbouchard.ai/how-apple-photos-recognizes-people/ https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/recognizing-people-photos https://www.louisbouchard.ai/newsletter/ Video Transcript 00:00 In a recent publication, Apple explained how they used machine learning to directly recognize 00:04 people in private photos on your iPhones and iPads without having access to your images 00:09 to train their algorithms. 00:11 I personally do not have an iPhone, so I cannot test it myself, but I am looking for an iPad 00:15 to draw explanations and write math equations and stream it during calls. 00:19 If some of you guys use tablets to do that, please let me know what you think is the best 00:24 to get! 00:25 For those of you with Apple products, you can actually research by the person in the 00:28 Photos app. 00:30 Indeed, using multiple machine learning-based algorithms that I will cover in this video, 00:34 running privately on your device, you are able to accurately curate and organize your 00:39 images and videos on iOS 15. 00:42 It will recognize the different people and allow you to research in your pictures where 00:45 the person appears. 00:47 If you have thousands of photos like I do, you will already have different clusters each 00:50 representing different people. 00:52 For example, one such cluster could be all the photos where your friend John is in so 00:57 that you can name it "John" and then search for images of John in your pictures to have 01:02 them appear automatically. 01:04 It can even recognize photos where the same people frequently appear, even if it doesn't 01:08 know the persons individually or hasn't been directly trained with it, and use it to share 01:13 memories like the "Together" feature shown here. 01:16 This is a super cool built-in application by Apple, and the best is that it even works 01:21 when the face is occluded or sideways, as we will see. 01:24 As I said, it seems to work really well. 01:27 It entirely runs on your device privately, and they are always improving the algorithms, 01:32 but it's even cooler to know how it works, so let dive into it! 01:36 This task of recognizing people in your own picture is extremely challenging because of 01:40 the variability your photos will have. 01:43 Different people, different angles, different scales, different lightings, occlusions because 01:47 your friend was catching a football, or even from other cameras. 01:52 If we would strictly base ourselves on the person's face, this would be pretty incomplete 01:57 as most of our pictures taken on the spot during an event aren't perfect images with 02:02 your friends smiling in front of the camera. 02:04 When you type in John, you'd like to see these events where John won the game by catching 02:09 this ball. 02:10 To attack this, they start by locating the faces and upper bodies of people visible in 02:15 the image using a first detection algorithm. 02:18 This algorithm was trained on many labeled human examples annotated with where the bodies 02:22 and the faces were. 02:24 Meaning that they trained a deep neural network with images sent as inputs, and the outputs 02:28 were only the cropped version of the image with either the bodies or faces of the people. 02:34 This is done by feeding many examples to the network, helping it showing where to focus 02:38 its attention with the correct identified sections. 02:42 This way, it can iteratively learn to find this body part by itself afterward if we show 02:47 it enough examples during training. 02:49 photo: figure 2 cursor + network (U-net, VAE?) with images and box over other image and incorrect 02:50 box until it's better? 02:51 By the way, if you find this interesting, don't forget to subscribe, like the video, 02:53 and share it with your friends or colleagues, it helps a lot! 02:57 Thank you! 02:58 Then, they match the bodies and faces of each individual to have even more data about the 03:03 person in case only one of the two appears in a future image. 03:06 You can see here that both the body and face are sent into a separate model that encodes 03:12 the information, creating embeddings. 03:14 These embeddings are simply the most valuable information about the face and body of the 03:18 person. 03:19 Here, we use another network to encode the information because we want our embeddings 03:23 to be similar for the same person and different for different individuals. 03:27 This is again done with another model that will look like this, inspired by mobilenet, 03:32 which I talked about in my convolutional neural network video. 03:36 It is a lightweight convolutional neural network that can run extremely efficiently, made for 03:41 mobile instead of GPUs. 03:43 If you are not familiar with CNNs, I strongly invite you to watch the video I made explaining 03:48 them simply. 03:49 Basically, it takes the cropped images and compresses the information in a smaller space 03:53 focusing on the most interesting details about the individual. 03:57 This is possible because such a model was trained on a lot of images to do exactly that. 04:02 Then, these embeddings are merged and saved in your phone's gallery unless they have poor 04:07 responses. 04:09 These poor responses may come from unclear faces or upper bodies and would be automatically 04:14 filtered out. 04:15 This is repeated with all your pictures to create clusters out of these embeddings. 04:20 These clusters will be the different people identified. 04:22 It will merge all similar embeddings in small groups where each group is a specific individual. 04:28 So this is the step where all the pictures where John was identified are put into a gallery. 04:33 And what's cool is that this automatically runs during nighttime when your phone charges 04:38 while you sleep and keeps on improving the more pictures you have. 04:42 So once these clusters are created, your new photos containing people are sent to the same 04:46 deep network to create a new embedding per person in the image. 04:50 This new embedding will either join a cluster if they find a match or create a new one based 04:55 on the difference between the embeddings you have in your phone and the new picture's embeddings. 05:00 Here, to find whether it is the same person or not, they focus primarily on the face. 05:04 If it's occluded or sideways, it uses the upper body coupled with what we have from 05:09 the face and takes the time of the photo into account to measure if the clothing could be 05:13 the same or different. 05:15 As you may suspect, the upper body isn't always helpful. 05:18 As they say, "We’ve carefully tuned the set of face and upper body distance thresholds 05:23 to get the most out of the upper body embedding without negatively impacting overall accuracy." 05:29 And this is how Photos regroup your friends within the application without you knowing 05:34 it! 05:36 Another concern was that they want to offer the same experience for all Apple users no 05:40 matter the photographic subject’s skin color, age, or gender. 05:44 It is great that they keep on improving the generalization and working to remove these 05:48 biases from their algorithm the best they can using the broadest datasets possible and 05:53 data augmentation to add variations to the training images. 05:57 If you have an iPhone or iPad, please let me know what you think of this feature in 06:01 the Photos app and how well it works! 06:04 Thank you for watching!

How Apple Recognizes People in Private Photos via Machine Learning

Although the crypto industry is home to a wide range of projects and advancements, critics and fans alike will agree that the DeFi scene has taken the industry by storm. DeFi has grown by leaps over the last few years, with the total value of crypto locked in the industry reaching as of May 2021. $65.18 billion DeFi's rapid growth has not only attracted potential investors but hackers and scammers as well. Yearn.Finance and DODO are some of the biggest losers of 2021 thus far, having lost $11 million and $3.8 million in February and March, respectively. As DeFi, and crypto in general, keep getting global recognition, developers have had to and AML regulations in certain jurisdictions so that they can keep operations. Therefore, a crop of KYC solutions for DeFi has emerged to fill the gap. Further, audit reports have become a necessity for developers to ensure there are no overlooked vulnerabilities in the project’s source code. comply with KYC So, which are the best to look out for? Keep reading for an overview of four of the best solutions that are worth your time. But first, here's some little insight into KYC checks and why they are so important. 4 Audit and KYC Solutions Worth Considering 1. SOLIDProof is a German audit company that uses manual and automated tests to assess smart contracts and blockchain projects and check for any vulnerabilities. Once the process is complete, the company offers an audit report that classifies the vulnerabilities found and offers recommendations to remedy them. SOLIDProof For the DeFi project's KYC checks, SOLIDProof will be looking to establish customers' identities and assess the nature of their activities. They will also check that the clients have legitimate sources of funds and assess any risks associated with them. Further, SOLIDProof carries out audit checks for entire DeFI projects. As a developer, you want the assurance that your project is doing well and that there are limited chances of a DeFi hack. Thus, SOLIDProof analyzes the project to find any vulnerabilities and examines your code before preparing an audit report. One of the best things about SOLIDProof is that they work together with your development team to mitigate any risks highlighted in the audit report. Therefore, DeFi project developers can eliminate most of the risks surrounding their projects and establish trust among their clients, thanks to its personalized services. 2. QuillAudits is a security firm that offers audit services for smart contracts and DeFi projects, besides other cybersecurity solutions for blockchain projects. The firm takes DeFI projects through an entire process to validate its functionalities and find any loopholes, so they can correct them. QuillAudits The process begins with a specification gathering so the audit team can understand how developers intend for their DeFi project to function. It then carries out a manual review to check for any unexpected behaviour and any common vulnerabilities. Afterwards, the team uses automated tests to check the project, before generating the initial audit report. QuillAudits then gives the team a chance to update the code before taking the project through another audit process. 3. Hacken Hacken is a cybersecurity company that protects WEB 3.0 businesses from getting hacked and losing money and reputation. Hacken was founded in 2017 and since then the company has secured 900+ projects including cryptocurrencies, crypto exchanges, platforms, launchpads, etc.  The main services provided by Hacken are smart contracts audits, pentests, and bug bounty programs Hacken is trusted by the biggest crypto exchanges such as FTX, KuCoin, OKX, Huobi, and Gate.io while the company’s network of partners includes CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, VeChain, InsurAce.io, Solana Foundation, IoTex, Avalanche, Polkastarter, and >90 other reputable brands. Hacken team has developed a transparent and detailed smart contract audit . Before audit clients can view this document to be fully aware of the upcoming testing procedures and share their suggestions as well as possible concerns. methodology One of the lowest incident rates in the market (the share of hacked clients among all projects audited) When looking at the data provided in the , one can see that there are only 6 incidents involving Hacken as an auditor while for other leading Web 3.0 auditors this figure is bigger: Certik (23), DeFi Safety (12), Quantstamp (8), and Peckshield (8). REKT Database 4. Identity.com If you're looking for an open-source KYC solution that's powered by digital tokens, is ideal for you. The ecosystem, that's governed by a staking mechanism, offers on-demand identity verification that's safe. Identity.com Currently, CVC tokens are solo players in the system. However, the platform plans on bringing more digital tokens on board as the network grows over time. The system's key entities are users, validators, and requesters. The latter is the DeFi project in need of a user's KYC verification. They query the credential wallet once a user requests access to their services. A validator within the system then approves the user and sends the information to the requester. Besides the KYC solution, Identity.com offers three toolkits for users, requesters, and validators. Thus, all three players can seamlessly connect to the ecosystem. 5. DeFiFusion provides a range of on-demand services within the DeFi scene, including audit reports and security checks for smart contracts. The company’s goal is to make DeFi more accessible and secure through auditing, consultancy, Dapp development, and disaster recovery. DeFiFusion Like other audit firms included in the list, DeFiFusion carries out an entire auditprofcss for any DeFi project or smart contract. Through this process, the team identifies any risks and indicates the severity. They also validate the projects and provide an audit report, including their recommendations for any improvements within the project. Wrap Up! DeFi project developers need to find solutions to ensure they can verify their users' identities and minimize the chances of frauds, scammers, and hackers. Audit processes help to safeguard these projects even further, by ensuring that there are no security vulnerabilities in the source code and entire project that would aid hackers. That said, it's essential that they maintain the anonymity nature of blockchain technology. For this reason, finding a solution that offers data privacy is more important to build a trustworthy relationship with the users. Luckily, all four of our suggestions tick all the boxes. You only need to find the one that works best for your ! DeFi project

5 Best Audit and KYC Solutions for DeFi Projects

Mario has been involved in numerous games spanning different genres. From racing games to fighting games, and even competing in the Olympic games. But Mario, and his brother Luigi, have experience in other genres, including RPGs. The duo stars in the Mario and Luigi series that sees them taking on villains in an RPG setting. So, how successful is the Mario and Luigi RPG? To take a look, here are the Mario and Luigi games ranked by sales. Mario and Luigi Series Sales 7. Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr’s Journey 6. Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions 5. Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam 4. Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time 3. Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga 2. Mario and Luigi: Dream Team 1. Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story 7. Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr’s Journey This Mario and Luigi RPG is a remake of Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story, and also included new content titled Bowser’s Jr’s Journey. While the main story is happening with Mario, Luigi, and Bowser, Bowser Jr is involved in his own story. Instead of an RPG, Bowser Jr’s Journey is a battle simulator featuring Bowser Jr as general of his own army. This RPG remake wouldn’t do so hot, and it sold the least amount of copies out of all the Mario and Luigi games; roughly . Not only is it the worst-selling game of the series, but it’s also one of the worst-selling Mario games ever. 20 thousand copies The developing team, AlphaDream, who had developed all of the Mario and Luigi games, would file for bankruptcy and shut down less than a year after the game’s release. 6. Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions Before the remake of Bowser’s Inside Story, another Mario and Luigi remake was released to the world. This time, it was a remake of the first-ever entry of the series, Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga. It also included additional content in the form of Bowser’s Minions. It follows the story of a Goomba as they try to find Bowser himself. This Superstar Saga remake would do well, selling . Although this wouldn’t sell as much as the original did, it sold substantially more than the Bowser Inside Story remake. 500 thousand copies A factor could be that the original Superstar Saga was released almost 15 years before the remake, making fans more nostalgic for a game they haven’t played in a long time. 5. Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam The Mario and Luigi games aren’t the only RPG series featuring the famous plumber, there’s also Paper Mario. As you can tell by the title, it follows a Paper Mario as he gets into adventures in his paper world. The two RPGs would meet in a crossover on the Nintendo 3DS where the titular characters would have to join forces to defeat Bowser and Paper Bowser. Fans of both series would flock to buy this game, with Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam selling . This was the only crossover between Paper Mario and Mario and Luigi, but hopefully, we’ll see a sequel in the future. 1 million copies The titular characters' interactions with each other, along with Bowser and Paper Bowser scheming with each other, made for entertaining times. 4. Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time The second entry of the series, and the first to be available on the Nintendo DS, Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time was released in 2005. The game follows the brothers as they try to rescue Princess Peach after she was abducted by aliens when she traveled back in time. Along the way, they meet with their baby selves and join forces to stop the aliens. Although Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, and Baby Bowser have appeared in games before, this was the debut of Baby Peach. The idea of a time-traveling Mario and Luigi RPG was enticing to fans and the game would go on to sell . 1.7 million copies It’s been a while since baby versions of Mario and Luigi have had a starring role, and we think they’re due for another. 3. Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga The game that started it all, Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga debuted on the Game Boy Advance. Mario and Luigi must save Princess Peach’s voice after it’s stolen by Cackletta and Fawful. This time, the brothers are also joined by Bowser who decides to help them after realizing what happened. Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga was released two years after Paper Mario, a game that has similar RPG elements. Similar to Paper Mario, this Mario and Luigi RPG was also a success. Superstar Saga would go on to sell and would spawn the entire Mario and Luigi series. 2.1 million copies 2. Mario and Luigi: Dream Team When Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach travel to a new island, things quickly go wrong. Bowser is usually the one to kidnap Peach, but this time she’s kidnapped by the new villain, Antasma. Bowser quickly joins forces with Antasma, however, and it’s up to the brothers to stop them as the villains try to use an item called the Dream Stone. A lot of the game is played within a dream world. In their, Mario is assisted by numerous Luigi’s as they fight the villains that plague that world. Mario and Luigi: Dream Team is the second best-selling installment of the series, selling . It was also the first game in the series to be available on the Nintendo 3DS. 2.6 million copies 1. Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story Mario and Luigi have a long and detailed history with Bowser. They’ve raced, played baseball, and even partied with each other. But this might’ve been the first time Mario and Luigi have been inside Bowser. While inside of him, Mario and Luigi help Bowser as he fights against the villain Fawful. The Mario and Luigi RPGs are known for their wacky and fun stories, but this might be the most unique in the series. Fans found the idea of being inside of Bowser intriguing, and it became the best-selling installment in the series. It would go on to sell , almost double what second-place sold. 4.5 million copies The Mario and Luigi RPGs are filled with fun gameplay, unique stories, and great humor. Although they aren’t the most popular Mario games on the market, we hope Nintendo eventually makes more because the series is too good not to continue. More in Gaming: 1.

7 Best Mario and Luigi Games Ranked by Sales

Last month, it was confirmed that God of War Ragnarok, the next installment in Sony PlayStation's God of War series, was . Now, it appears another Sony exclusive IP has also followed suit in Horizon Forbidden West. reports the game has been pushed back to a Q1 2022 release. pushed back to 2022 Bloomberg Forbidden West was originally expected to launch on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 later this year, but that no longer appears to be the case. Granted, a 2021 release date was technically never confirmed for the title. Speaking during a earlier this year, PlayStation Studios head Hermen Hulst sounded positive that Forbidden West would still make a holiday 2021 launch. At the time, he said, "We think we are on track to release [Horizon Forbidden West] this holiday season." He added, "But that isn't quite certain yet, and we're working as hard as we can to confirm that to you as soon as we can." PlayStation Blog Q&A Horizon Forbidden West Delayed to 2022 Basically, it sounds like this isn't a tremendous loss. Also, if the game isn't ready to go this year, it shouldn't be rushed. The world is still in an ongoing pandemic, and these things need to be taken into consideration. In fact, developer Guerrilla Games shouldn't even be forced to keep a Q1 2022 release game. The game should be released when it is fully polished and ready to go out the door and not before then. The benefit here is if God of War: Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West both launch in 2022, that will at least give Sony PlayStation two strong, exclusive game IPs that will make it to the console next year. Additionally, it looks better for everyone in the long run if the team is given more time to work on the game during such a difficult time in the world, especially when major game development such as this is difficult enough. Horizon Forbidden West continues the saga of Horizon Forbidden Dawn. Aloy continues her adventure in dangerous future America filled with machines and dangerous, new threats. The game was first announced last year.

Horizon Forbidden West Release Pushed Back to 2022

Playing single-player games can be a fun experience. Whether it’s because of the story or the gameplay, it’s nice to enjoy a game by yourself. However, sometimes you want a buddy to join you for a fun time, and it can be hard to pick out a game that both of you will enjoy. To make it easier to find a game for the two of you to play, here are the 5 best 2 player Switch games. Best 2 Player Switch Games Streets of Rage 4 Cuphead Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 Super Mario 3D World Mario Golf: Super Rush 1. Streets of Rage 4 There’s a ton of great gaming genres, but there’s nothing like a good old-fashioned beat ‘em up. Streets of Rage 4 is the newest installment in the series, bringing the franchise into the 21st century. Up to 4 players can enjoy this game at once, which is good because it’s more fun to fight waves of enemies as you travel through the levels together. Although there are nice callbacks for fans who have played the previous games, the gameplay and story of Streets of Rage 4 can still be enjoyed by newcomers to the series. The Y twins, the children of the former villain of the series, have taken their father’s place as crimelords of the city. It’s up to old and new heroes to team up and defeat them before it’s too late. 2. Cuphead Streets of Rage 4 has great boss battles, but there’s an argument to be made that no game has a greater roster of bosses than Cuphead. The majority of Cuphead’s gameplay is going through different levels to defeat different bosses. You do this by shooting them, using your abilities, and evading their attacks to defeat them. You don’t have to do this alone, a second player can join the party and play as Cuphead’s brother, Mugman. Cuphead also has different types of levels such as flying ones and run-and-gun levels. This game is one of the hardest two-person games, but there’s solace in the fact that you can rely on your partner if you lose all your health. Cuphead is one of the best 2 player switch games, but it’s available on other consoles as well. 3. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 Released in 2019, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 sees characters from the Marvel universe come together to get the Infinity Stones before Thanos. Up to four players can choose from different characters such as The Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and many more iconic characters. A fun thing about this game is the ability to mix and match characters with your partner to see which team dynamic works best, and the game grants bonuses depending on your team. Each character has four different abilities they can use, however, each one costs energy, so it’s important to strategize and know how much energy to use. Abilities can also be upgraded to be more powerful, use less energy, or gain effects such as shock. But nothing feels better than using your ultimate ability with your partners to unleash a fury of damage on your opponents. 4. Super Mario 3D World Mario is a fun, iconic character to play as, but what’s even more fun is having a friend tag along and join you on your quest to stop another of Bowser’s evil schemes. In Super Mario 3D World, up to four players can choose from Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad as they go through fun, yet challenging levels, until they reach Bowser. When you and your friends are choosing which character to play as it’s important to note that each character has different . Mario is all-around average, Luigi is good at jumping but skids after running, Princess Peach can float but not run fast, and Toad is fast but can’t jump high. mechanics The game also has many opportunities for players to mess with each other (whether accidental or on purpose) by going too fast and killing each other, or by picking someone up and throwing them off the stage. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. 5. Mario Golf: Super Rush The newest game on this list, Mario Golf: Super Rush combines the wackiness from the Mario franchise and combines it with golf. There are different modes that you can play together if you don’t want to play normal golf. There’s standard golf, speed golf, and battle golf, each with its unique rules and gameplay. If you’re looking for the mode to cause the most chaos, it’s Speed Golf. Players run through the golf course, and try to get a better score than their opponents. That’s easier said than done because there are many ways opponents can mess with each other, including using a Special Shot. A Special Shot is a player’s ultimate ability and it does something different depending on the character. For example, Yoshi’s Special Shot will turn the opponent’s balls into eggs. There’s plenty of ways to have fun or to ruin friendships in this golf game. There are a ton of two-person games to choose from, but these are the best 2 player switch games. Aside from Cuphead, the rest of the games can be played with even more people if you’re looking to grow the party. Whatever game or party size you choose, you can’t go wrong with any of these titles.

5 Best 2-Player Nintendo Switch Games for Couch Coop and PVP Sessions

You’re learning to program and looking for some answers. What skills do you need to develop? What concepts matter most? Which resources are best? We’re in such a rush to get up and running as programmers that we fail to ask a critical question: what habits should I build? The answer to this question requires the big picture view. It considers the actions to take now that’ll help you start your programming journey and pay dividends in the years to come. Whether you’re a self-taught programmer, boot camper, or student in a formal computer science program, there are three programming habits to begin immediately to make your programming journey an effective one. 1. Learn how to learn effectively You may be surprised that I included “learning how to learn effectively” in this blog post and as the first habit to boot. But there’s a valid reason: it’s that important. Yes, there is a slew of concepts and technologies to learn. However, spending time learning how to learn will help you now and progress in your programming career. That’s because the learning never ends. My own journey underscores the importance of learning how to learn, which was something I failed to do on my first attempt at programming. Three months into my self-taught journey, I was at a crossroads. I was putting in a lot of effort, but I was making little progress. The problems were hard, as were the concepts. The number of technologies I needed to learn seemed to grow by the day. I didn’t know how to learn technical topics effectively. Plus, I didn’t have a solid learning strategy in place. I felt completely overwhelmed and underprepared. Then the unexpected happened. I listened to a podcast where Shane Parrish interviewed Barbara Oakley, an engineering professor, and author. The topic was “learning how to learn.” Listening to this podcast was a turning point for me. When I decided to restart my programming journey the right way, it meant learning how to learn. I read books and watched lectures online about learning; I also evaluated my own learning style and the programming resources I’d used. At the same time, I developed an overall learning strategy that included multiple streams of learning. I did these things as I rebooted my programming journey. In round two of learning to program, I felt much more prepared: the learning began to stick, and I figured out how to work through mental roadblocks. It’s not to say that learning how to learn makes learning to program easy. Programming is still hard. But the process becomes much more effective. Despite your current path (school, boot camp, or self-taught), at some point, you’ll have to learn a language or technology on your own, and you’ll have to come up with the best way to do so. So it’s worth taking the time to figure that out now. That said, here are several learning resources I recommend: Shane Parrish’s . interview with Barbara Oakley by Mark A. McDaniel and Peter C. Brown. Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning by Barbara Oakley. A Mind For Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra) by Joshua Waitzkin. The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance by Barbara Oakley. Learning How to Learn: Powerful Mental Tools to Help You Master Tough Subjects 2. Learn how to problem-solve and get good at it When given a math problem in school, I’d dive in at full speed, which is what I did when I started to program. No plan. No process. No stopping to think what the question was really asking. Unsurprisingly, I was spinning my wheels unnecessarily and hitting roadblocks on the simplest of problems. But soon, things began to change. I have George Pólya’s excellent book, , to thank for that. His book has taught me about the problem-solving process and how to solve problems effectively. How to Solve It As a result, I’ve learned to slow down, think through problems systematically, and have a problem-solving system in place. The problem-solving process became more productive. With a process in place, it's time to get good at solving problems. This involves solving problems, to be sure. But less talked about is the quality of this practice. If you’re investing time to learn how to problem-solve and you’re spending time-solving problems, you might as well get the most from your practice: make each problem count. To me, that means taking a multifaceted approach to problem-solving. Instead of solving as many problems as fast as possible, try this: Solve challenging problems on a variety of platforms. Study your solutions: clearly understand what you did and why you did it. Get feedback and apply it. After you solve a problem, study the solutions of others who’ve solved the same problem. Add cross-training to your problem-solving practice: solve problems in different programming languages or solve math problems. Problem-solving is fundamental to our craft, and it’s a skill that takes time to build. The problem-solving treadmill can be tempting, but in my experience, quality wins any day of the week. 3. Read technical programming books Just like money in the bank can compound over time, so does your knowledge. There’s a wealth of information out there about our field. Pick up a few technical books and make reading a habit. Many balk at the idea of reading actual books because there’s so much free content online. There’s definitely a place for online articles and blogs. But there’s also a place for books. Blog posts and books serve different purposes. A blog post may whet your appetite on a topic, offer a unique perspective, or give you a new idea to try. Then pick up a book to dive deep into it. That’s because books provide depth. They give you the details of a technology or topic that a blog post simply can’t. For example, a blog post on software design, maybe a few hundred or a couple of thousand words. A book on the topic can be tens of thousands of words. I’m not suggesting that you cut out online resources. Instead, I’m suggesting that you pick up some technical programming books and devote some of your reading time toward reading books. Learn how to write better code. Solidify your knowledge of data structures, loops, and conditionals. Find out about design and algorithms. Understand Test-Driven Development. The list of programming topics to learn about goes on and on. Here’s a simple way to start this habit: spend 30 minutes reading a technical book each day and do this for a month. As a result, your context will grow, and you’ll see things differently. You’ll probably be amazed at how much you’ve learned and will find the time to continue it. Or find ways to increase to spend more time reading. This is a powerful habit to begin today. An Investment Getting good at anything involves having good habits and a system to help you get better. The suggestions I’ve put forward in this article are deposits for the long-term. Start the journey outright. Originally published on . https://amymhaddad.com/3-programming-habits-to-build-now

Top 3 Skills Programmers Should Develop

Project Management Workflow Developing a website takes time and effort. As developers, we don’t have the time to waste on deciphering what our product team or our client wants. We need to work closely with the decision-makers to implement those ideas as efficiently as possible. Over the course of my involvement in many projects, I have developed a workflow that includes designers and product managers. This in turn, reduces my time managing the project, and increases the overall quality of work. You may think working with a designer might be a waste of time, and you can save more time just working it out yourself when coding.  But you should be careful with that line of thinking.  I’ve worked with designers for years and have come to realise that sometimes just by listening to them and collaborating with them the project moves along quicker. Simply understanding their viewpoints, their intent for a project, and by getting them to understand exactly what I need from them, the project along much faster (often I’d have to dig for brand assets, images, logos, fonts one by one). Problems I frequently encounter the following problems: Lack of communication and difficulty in getting prompt answers and replies; A lack of centralized resources; Difficulties in having them participate in testing areas of the product while I am working on other parts of the website; Creating consistent user flows that the designer is happy with; Spending time explaining and reiterating parts of the project due to lack of team cohesiveness. Clarify Instructions People can operate optimally on a variety of workflows, but the most important first step is accurate planning. Consider these suggestions: Show the designers and product managers exactly what assets you need, in what format(s) you need them, and what your preferred deadlines are. 2. Show them how you want them to create separate versions (so they have the next iteration of the design ready for you when you need it). 3. Go over the designs in detail with the designer to understand exactly what they want to do. 4. Explain the project timeline and when you expect them to complete certain tasks. Show them what you expect from them, don’t let them assume you’re doing everything, explain in detail what you need them to do, so there is no shade of doubt over tasks. Following this creates a higher chance that things will get done correctly and on time.  Some of your clients may have never worked with a developer before.  If this is the case,  give them ownership of the project and let them feel empowered so they can manage the website if you’re busy. It will also create a positive work environment and helps guide the process to ensure they are more involved in the tasks you give them. Optimize for Success 1. Have an Onboarding Presentation Have a presentation and get a feel of the app or website. You will instantly have a higher level of understanding of how the designer intends for the app to work, and when you’ve built the first releases you can compare to the prototype side-by-side. My clients often use . There they can produce either wireframes or detailed mockups, showing me exactly what they are looking for. I like seeing early drafts of what the client wants because it helps me advance early-stage development without having to think too much about design. Adobe XD This gives me an early chance to give feedback on anything obvious that's missing, such as page states. Seeing this early on allows me to ensure I’m not waiting around at a later date, by the time I am ready to start developing that part, the designer/PM will have worked out what they want it to look like and how it will interact with the rest of the website. 2. Set up Versioning Versioning is vital for a fast designer-dev workflow. How can I develop my app if the designer keeps iterating on the file at the same time? There has to be a better way. The best way to do this --at least based on my experience-- is to have versions and control it tightly. One file which the designer works on and the one I use for development purposes.I use for this, I can compare design versions side by side and quickly see any changes. Mockplus Additionally, I ensure my projects have a filegroup for larger updates, so my version 7 is one file, and any increments (7.1, 7.35 etc.) are inside that project. Then I continue that in a separate project file for version 8 and so on. This way, my incremental versions are kept in one file, with the ability to compare differences and any larger updates are in completely separate files. This keep my files organized. 3. Utlilize Task Management Create a task management flow. I use but any such platform is suitable - just get your colleagues to keep tasks up to date so you don’t need to reply to messages one by one. Onboard them to Jira and get them to input what they want you to do, what specific details they want included and for when. Monday This keeps the whole project moving on without waiting around in the background for tasks to be completed. 4. Create a Workflow This is unique to the developer and product team, however, creating a workflow that’s right for the situation creates an environment where the process becomes so smooth it seems automatic. This depends on the abilities of your team members but if, for example, some team members have the capabilities to make mockups, usability testing, and test out any alpha releases for you, you may use your time and energy on other areas. Of course, the specific skills of your colleagues will vary from client to client (or team to team). It's up to you to harness their abilities to make the project run smoothly. 5. Have a Central Resource Hub Create a resource bin for important resources: reference links, brand assets, and documentation so they are only in one place for you when you need them. Afterward, go about creating a file naming system for the actual design projects they share with you. Finally, most design tools support code snippets for assets --such as buttons-- and this speeds up my development just by being able to enter those design assets into my code by copying and pasting. The result Projects can be implemented well and without extra pressures with a correct workflow. Getting the right people to do the right work at the right time saves time for developers and takes an enormous weight off, of our shoulders. You just have to take the time and plan out at the start of a project what your expectations are, what the framework is for who does what and when. This helps to keep all relevant parties in the same loop and keeps the project transparent. Every project is different. Take the time at the start of your project to learn how each team member works, what the expectations are, and how to stay in a good work rhythm. You are the one who is developing the product, you need as much help as possible to reduce development time, and that comes from support from the rest of the product team. With these workflow suggestions, I have been able to develop websites faster and implement new features on time. Sometimes collaborating while developing can be hard. We get requests from all angles. But this flow optimizes how you and the team around you manage the work. It gives structure and mitigates against the major problems we have when working in a product team.

The Developer’s Guide to Completing Projects on Time 

Hi Milana, welcome to our series “Behind the Startup.” Please tell us about yourself and the story behind KIRA? Ishan Pandey: I have a corporate finance background specializing in biotech and an economics degree from Fordham University. I got into the fintech and blockchain space first as an investor in early 2017 and later the same year, I joined Binance Exchange as a community volunteer. Shortly after that, I left the corporate finance world and started working remotely as a Project Manager for an ad tech company Adcoin.com and as a Business Development Manager for Whitehat i.t. In 2018 I joined Knoks platform as Head of Strategy, and by late 2019 I dedicated my full attention to Kira as CEO. Milana Valmont: According to you, what steps can be taken to increase the participation of women in the blockchain and DeFi industry? Ishan Pandey: Blockchain and Fintech companies should participate in proper recruitment processes among college students -- women, in particular -- because entry to the industry is still very private and closed off. Thus, it's intimidating to women despite their professional experience. From what I’ve noticed, females in our industry usually stick to other females, which can limit the potential for opportunities since a lot of things happen behind closed telegram groups. Milana Valmont: Facebook intends to launch its own cryptocurrency, Diem, to make digital payments more convenient. Can Facebook be trusted to put the public’s interests ahead of its own in light of the accusations against the company on issues such as user privacy and data mining of users? Ishan Pandey: Of course, it can be as trusted as Wechat in China if you know what I mean :) At the end of the day, its users who decide whether they want to entrust their data to third parties and be part of CeFi or utilize alternative payment systems within the DeFi space. Milana Valmont: Trusting Diem with the financial data of users can be a threat to user privacy due to Facebook's past record. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) does not regulate utility tokens, however digital tokens that have security features are regulated under the current regulatory framework. What are your views on the regulations around blockchain and DeFi in Singapore? Ishan Pandey: Singapore is very flexible when it comes to regulations of utility assets. The way it is executed is that a company must provide evidence, aka legal opinion on the token’s functionality, for it to be treated as a Digital Payment Token. This brings me to the conclusion that Singapore jurisdiction is one of the most friendly when it comes to DeFi, but the projects themselves must spend time on designing the most favourable tokenomics. Milana Valmont: Please tell us about the MBPoS consensus mechanism and how it works? Ishan Pandey: MBPoS - The Multi Bonded Proof of Stake is a native consensus design and build to secure the underlying KIRA network with many different assets without limiting how much capital can be vouched for the honest operation for the honest operation of the network actors. When users deposit different assets into Relay-chain via IBC, XCMP, Ethereum bridge or other cross-chain protocols, the protocol’s network governance gains the ability to whitelist which assets can be staked. At the same time, the specific interest rates of different assets when staked will also be determined by the governance. At the technical level, the staking mechanism of MBPoS is not much different from other PoS implementations. Milana Valmont: The main difference is that there is no single asset that would be securing the network, and the validators’ voting power does not depend on the amount bonded. Thanks to this, the protocol can scale not only in terms of throughput, just as other PoS networks, but also in terms of security, analogically to PoW, increasing its security with a growing hash rate, something that is not currently possible with other PoS chains, as value and distribution of single staking tokens will always be limited. Furthermore, all assets staked on the protocol remain transferable in form of 1:1 staking derivatives. This means that users no longer need to wait for unbonding period during market volatility and can trade one type of staked asset for another while preserving rewards they generate through staking. What are your views on fintech giants such as Paypal and Skrill entering the cryptocurrency market? According to you, what will be the impact of the integration of the fintech and cryptocurrency industry? Ishan Pandey: Centralized finance, aka CeFi integration with blockchain technology, is the first step towards onboarding masses into DeFi. I believe it is very optimistic that we finally see corporate fintech giants making these first steps and embracing decentralized technologies, as they will be the bridge towards the global adoption of crypto. Milana Valmont: After China, Thailand has become the latest Asian jurisdiction to impose trading restrictions on highly speculative cryptocurrencies and NFTs, including meme coins like Dogecoin. What is your opinion on the move of the regulators and the rationale behind it? Ishan Pandey: Any industry that begins to mature will inevitably be met with tighter regulations, which is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, any touring complete smart contract platform should easily meet the regulators’ demands, especially if those demands are imposed to protect the end-users. Milana Valmont: According to you, what new trends will we see in the fintech and cryptocurrency industry? Ishan Pandey: I think the next trend is going to be Centralized Finance onboarding non-crypto users on a mass scale. With that in place, we will see a growing demand for matured Decentralized Finance and platforms that can ensure the security of retail investors. We should further see the digitalization of real-world assets and automation of many industries such as insurance, lending, real estate and even fashion directly on-chain. Milana Valmont: Disclaimer: The purpose of this article is to remove informational asymmetry existing today in our digital markets by performing due diligence by asking the right questions and equipping readers with better opinions to make informed decisions. The material does not constitute any investment, financial, or legal advice. Please do your research before investing in any digital assets or tokens, etc. The writer does not have any vested interest in the company. Ishan Pandey.

Can Trusting Facebook's Diem with Financial Data Threaten User Privacy? 

Messy government data has been part of the reason we've been the COVID-19 pandemic. If federal organizations can't decode big data, what hope do small businesses have? unable to understand We’ve never had this much data on our hands. But as the material we’re dealing with grows, we need to ensure the skeleton that supports it is evolving sturdily alongside it. That’s no small feat, given the breakneck speed at which our data load . The more data we have at our fingertips, the more unbridled its potential is - but the harder it also becomes to harness it, especially for companies with less of a tech background or smaller R&D capabilities. A lack of accessible and affordable tooling would leave smaller players behind, making access to big data analytics an increasingly exclusive privilege. increases every day Nevertheless, the past decade has shown us that data analytics and tools have the capacity to speedily advance to accommodate the growing wave of information. And has a big role to play in that. As all companies are also becoming tech companies, engineering teams need to develop software that captures big data and uses machine learning so they can stay in the game. Development Analytics tools like Waydev are there to help engineering managers fully understand and improve the development process of these analytics projects. So it’s a bit of an analytics inception if you will. Development Analytics In today’s landscape, three essential pillars have emerged in data analytics - visualization, open source, and AI. Here's how the future of data analytics and tools can make this sphere more democratic, and what this means for software development. Data visualization tools will make big data digestible Startups are no stranger to big data. They can get huge swaths of it relatively straightforward, but that doesn't mean they hold the keys to understanding it. One of the first data visualization tools, the Gantt chart, was invented in 1910 to visually track data across large teams. Big data is typically unstructured, making it difficult to draw conclusions from the figures. But if companies can't accurately interpret data, its value is wasted. Raw data doesn't always tell a story; to do that it has to be processed and curated in a more visually appealing form. The next generation of big data tools will prioritize simple data visualization for all users. Graphics, maps, tables, and patterns are far more intuitive than text and can stitch seemingly abstract stats together - which is especially useful for small business leaders who don't have a tech background. In fact, we're already seeing the shift with tools like Visme and Tableau, which transform big data into engaging charts and infographics. Visualization becomes all the more powerful when coupled with relevant data sources to provide business insights and help leaders gain a better understanding of their team’s work. Gantt charts may have been an innovation for its time but in the Agile software development environment, they are of no use. Development Analytics tools like Waydev and Pluralsight Flow use user-friendly dashboards, heatmaps, color-coding, charts, and diagrams to signal progress, issues, and steer the user’s attention to the important values. Open source will improve data tools' transparency and quality The popularization of data tools has paved the way for open source software like Android (the operating system used by Google phones), which can be freely used or modified by anyone. Whereas data tools used to be exclusively reserved for paying customers (read: deep-pocketed corporations), open source tooling is free and made for the public, by the public. Many tools that were once closed source have made the switch to open source in recent years. For example, Apache Hadoop, the framework that uses programming models for distributed processing of large data sets, quickly became supported by NoSQL databases and other open source infrastructure when it started to be widely adopted. Today, the majority of infrastructure used to store and stream large volumes of data is open source, including databases like MongoDB and tools like TensorFlow. Even the notoriously secretive Apple has hopped on the bandwagon, releasing its programming language, Swift, as open source in 2014. Data science wouldn't be as large in scope, nor as efficient, without open source tooling. As data grows, small businesses need more sophisticated data processing tools, which will benefit from open contributions. The more people that contribute to code, the higher the quality of the tool. And, as more people own a cell phone, are active online, and share information digitally, data sets will continue to grow exponentially and push demand for data-processing tools. In order to maximize the functionality and interoperability of these tools, businesses should start embracing open source from the get-go. AI data tools will become mainstream (at last) Despite finding its roots in the 1950s, AI didn't really until the 1990s. In 1997, the world chess champion was beaten by IBM's AI chess-playing program, Deep Blue. In the same year, Dragon System developed and implemented its speech-recognition software on Windows. The two creations were a big step for AI, and for many people, signaled its impending uptake across industries. get started The reality though, is that AI is yet to be adopted on a mass scale. A 2020 survey revealed that only of US businesses use AI, and the ones that do are mostly big companies that have the money to invest in the tech: not surprising when companies pay between for AI software. 8.9% $6,000 and $300,000 Although the uptake is relatively slow, early signs of more financially flexible AI exist, and they go a long way toward democratizing data tools for all companies, regardless of their size. Takeaway Data and analytics tools won't be fizzling out any time soon. Both have progressed considerably in recent years, and with expanding data sets at the heart of these tools, they'll not only get better, they’ll also get smarter. In software development, in particular, we’ll be seeing widespread adoption of development analytics in the following years. Engineering leaders will keep investing in Development Analytics tools so they can meet the growing demands of their organizations, and remain ahead of the innovation curve. This only means we’re getting one step closer to normalizing a data-driven culture in software engineering.

How to Democratize Access to Data Insights for Businesses of All Sizes

A combination of “deep learning” and “fake media,” a deepfake is manipulated video content that is nearly indistinguishable from authentic video. Deepfake creators often target celebrities, world leaders, and politicians, manipulating the video to portray the subject saying something they did not. You may have seen one of the more famous deepfakes, like , , or perhaps even .

They have , and aided in . However, nefarious actors are capitalizing on the dark side of deepfakes, using the same techniques to disseminate pornography, conduct misinformation campaigns, commit securities fraud, and obstruct justice. brought history to life restored voices of ALS patients crime scene forensics The big picture problem with the proliferation of rogue deepfakes is that they propel us toward a  “zero-trust society” in which it’s increasingly difficult to distinguish reality from fabrication. The existence of alone makes room for tremendous doubt about the authenticity of legitimate video evidence. As , “The problem may not be so much the faked reality as the fact that real reality becomes plausibly deniable.” deepfakes Professor Lilian Edwards of Newcastle University points out Mitigating deepfakes As our newsfeeds are flooded with high quality deepfakes, it is unrealistic to place the burden of identification and mitigation on humans alone. In 2019, Microsoft, Facebook, and Amazon launched the to motivate the development of automated tools for identifying counterfeit content. Research in academia has accelerated, with a focus on detecting forgeries, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) funded a media forensics project to address the issue.

In December 2020, the directed the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to research deepfakes.

Unfortunately, deepfake technology is a cat and mouse game. For every new automatic deepfake detection model, there is a simultaneous effort to develop deepfake technologies that can elude detection tools. Additionally, deepfake tools are increasingly accessible. Novices can now generate convincing video with access to a few hours of computer time. This ease of access has resulted in a deluge of malicious deepfakes that inflict emotional, political, and reputational damage. The answer to meet this challenge, is improving AI-powered deepfake detection capabilities. Over time, we’ll likely rely on more sophisticated AI-powered deepfake detection systems to automatically detect and flag altered video to prevent the spread of misinformation. As these algorithms and approaches improve, our data science team will continue to develop even more robust models to meet the need for more trustworthy detection solutions.

How AI Enables Sophisticated Deepfake Content Detection

Robots find it difficult to improvise, so when they encounter an obstacle or atypical surface, it implies a sudden stop or fall. But researchers have developed a new locomotive robot that adjusts to any terrain they meet in real-time, altering their motion tactics to keep on moving even when they strike sand, pebbles, stairs, or any other changes. Facebook AI While robotic movements could be diverse and accurate, robots can learn to climb steps, cross-cut terrain, and so on. Such behaviors are more like individually trained skills between which the robot switches. While can well emerge from being pushed or kicked, the method only works to rectify a physical anomaly in an unaltered way. robots like Spot Some adaptive movement models exist, like the SpaceBok . However, some are pretty specialized ( ), and others require time to operate, so by the time they decide, the robot will probably have fallen. Robot that can walk in space Robots based on actual insect movement The team of Facebook AI, UC Berkeley, and Carnegie Mellon University named it (RMA) or Fast Motor Adaptation. It was called so keeping in mind that human beings and other animals can modify the way they move to new conditions rapidly, efficiently, and instinctively. Rapid Motor Adaptation These Legged Robots are fully trained for optimization in a virtual version of the real world. The tiny brain of the robot is taught to maximize forward motion with minimum energy and avoid crashing by rapidly recognizing and responding to the data coming from its joints, accelerometers, and other physical sensors. Jitendra Malik, a senior researcher, affiliated with Facebook AI and UC Berkeley, emphasizes that robotics don’t utilize any visible input to punctuate the whole internality of the RMA method. Ultimately, the legged robots have two components: the main functioning algorithm that effectively controls the robot’s movement and a parallel adaptive algorithm monitoring changes to the internal readings of the robot. It has succeeded well in the actual world after simulation training, as outlined in the news release: The robot was able to walk on sand, mud, hiking trails, tall grass, and a dirt pile without a single failure in all our trials. The robot successfully walked downstairs along a hiking trail in 70% of the trials. It successfully navigated a cement pile and a pile of pebbles in 80% of the trials despite never seeing the unstable or sinking ground, obstructive vegetation, or stairs during training. It also maintained its height with a high success rate when moving with a 12 kg payload that amounted to 100% of its body weight. Malik gave a glimpse of the research by Karen Adolph, a professor at NYU, whose work demonstrated how the human learning process is adjustable and free-form. The team’s impulse was to learn and adapt and not have a wide variety of settings to choose if you want a . robot to manage any circumstances “Robot legs are like the fingers of a hand. How the legs interact with the environment, how the fingers interact with objects,” stated Deepak Patak, co-author of Carnegie Mellon University. For now, the team is presenting their initial findings in a Robotics: Science & Systems Convention paper and recognizes that a significant degree of follow-up analysis is needed. An example of building an internal library of improvised gaits as a kind of “medium time period” reminiscence or innovative and wise use is to consider the need to introduce a whole new locomotive robot. However, the RMA technique seems to be a viable new strategy to solve an unending robotic dilemma. In March, Researchers from the University of Oslo showed similar solutions that enable robots to respond to their surroundings. The answer was to make the robot’s leg length and body form adaptable to its terrain using machine learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence.

Startup Interview with So Iizuka, Trambellir's Co-Founder and CEO

HackerNoon Reporter: Please tell us briefly about your  background. I’m Howie Young, Founder and Dreamer at Tico. I prefer to say that I got no “Background”, but I guess we are talking about education and experience here. So, I graduated with a BA degree and owned an entrepreneur hub, one of the oldest coworking spaces in Taiwan. What's your startup called? And in a sentence or two, what does it do? Tico. The vision is to create safer and more user-centered communications products. The core product is , an embedded video call platform that helps enterprises bring p2p-secured video connections into any business in seconds Wondercall What is the origin story? My colleagues and I founded Toetoe in 2013, a messaging platform that helps everyone save and exchange true words with whom they care about, which gained 50K users in one week and stored over 500K secrets before we shut it down due to some unresolvable technical issues. But we learned a lot from experience and realized that there’s a vast space to improve for all communication experiences and tools. Then, I found Tico, a company focuses on creating better communication and conversation. The name of the company was from two words, Time and Communication. It means we, Tico, will always bring the proper communication at the right time for everyone. What do you love about your team, and why are you the ones to solve this problem? I’m not quite sure if they love me as I love them. But yeah, that makes us become the team dealing with the most strenuous situations when facing challenges. Being a founder usually means that you have to play bad cop often. I do hope they love me, really! If you weren’t building your startup, what would you be doing? That’s not going to happen in any way, even if we prove that there are actual parallel times and spaces. At the moment, how do you measure success? What are your core metrics? We measure it from the engagement, usage of the product, and reviews from our users and clients. The core metric is a [secret] that can only be read after you pay and buy coffee to HackerNoon (jk). Editor note: our core metric is time reading. Paying with eyeballs works for us. What’s most exciting about your traction to date? Users from over 150 countries have used at least one of our communication products and known what “Better communication“ is. What technologies are you currently most excited about, and most worried about? And why? Both answers are the Space technology for sure. I can’t imagine if there will be anyone who doesn’t want to make a spacewalk once in a lifetime. Yet, I don’t see anyone who had known and figured out how human beings should treat Space well when we barely understood how to treat Earth well. What drew you to get published on HackerNoon? What do you like most about our platform? Actually, it was HackerNoon found us. But, I do pretty much like the community of the platform. So, thank you, guys! What advice would you give to the 21-year-old version of yourself? 22 wouldn’t automatically become a certainly better version for you. It could be just a 21-beta if you don’t do anything for yourself. What is something surprising you've learned this year that your contemporaries would benefit from knowing? Covid-19 is just a force that forces you to change the way you think and take action. Even the virals know they have to learn and grow as quickly as possible to survive. So, think and act like the virus. You will find that's pretty helpful for you to become a badass. Tico was nominated as , in Startups of the Year hosted by HackerNoon one of the best startups in Taipei, Taiwan

HackerNoon Reporter: Please tell us briefly about your  background. I am a doctor and clinical pharmacologist and have been coding since I was a child. Thanks to good medical care, I survived my childhood and have since been committed to excellent health care for others. What's your startup called? And in a sentence or two, what does it do? The service epha.health uses advanced AI and algorithms to predict the risk and exposure in complex therapies and calculates possible drug alternatives based on patient factors. What is the origin story? Starting in the University Hospital Zurich, we have been working for years to prevent medication errors and to protect patients from unnecessary harm. We always had the dream to create the perfect app to support doctors in such a way that errors no longer occur. With the new technical possibilities we can finally make it happen. What do you love about your team, and why are you the ones to solve this problem? Everyone has different skills and together we are more than the sum of our skills. Together we have medical and pharmaceutical expertise, coding skills in backend and frontend, knowledge in data analytics and data science. Our joint decision is usually an iterative process, but better than any individual decision. If you weren’t building your startup, what would you be doing? Building another startup. At the moment, how do you measure success? What are your core metrics? Customers paying for the subscription of epha.health. What’s most exciting about your traction to date? Over the past four months since our launch, we have grown more than 50% per month in worldwide user web traffic. Our greatest success is that these users (doctors) started to pay for the subscription without being reimbursed from health insurances. What technologies are you currently most excited about, and most worried about? And why? With data science, we can increasingly generate new knowledge and make better predictions. My fear is that the knowledge in the wrong hands will lead to people being deprived of their freedom. That dystopian future has already begun when the Tesla autopilot shuts down for a day when you don't have your hands on the steering wheel. What drew you to get published on HackerNoon? What do you like most about our platform? Coincidence. I have to see. What advice would you give to the 21-year-old version of yourself? Wait for it. Good ideas take time to be recognised in society. What is something surprising you've learned this year that your contemporaries would benefit from knowing? Software provider in healthcare are on a different level. Epha.health was nominated as one of the best startups in  Zürich, Switzerland, in Startups of the Year hosted by HackerNoon.
