Back in September, NVIDIA announced that it was set to acquire the chip designer giant ARM for a whopping $40 billion. This is kind of a big deal taking into account that ARM architecture is virtually everywhere these days, from top smartphone manufacturers such as Samsung and Apple utilizing it, to gaming consoles, home appliances, and various IoT devices that make use of a system-on-a-chip (SOC) design model. The business deal, currently under the processes of regulatory approval, is set to make ARM a subsidiary of NVIDIA while retaining its operational strategies and licensing partnerships, such as with Qualcomm, Samsung, Apple, and others.

It’s widely speculated that Apple will at some point transition the Mac platform from Intel-based processors to the very same ARM-based systems that power the iPhone and iPad.

For some, this possibility is more than just speculation, but fact. And that the only real questions are simply when will Apple make the jump?

In data science competitions and machine learning projects, we often may encounter geospatial features that are (most of the time) represented as longitude and latitude.

These kinds of features will influence your predictive model’s results by a large margin if they aren’t well represented; therefore, these features are seldom considered, and they’re often eliminated from the feature’s set.

In the highly-competitive modern marketplace of web applications, it’s hard to get to the top and even harder to stay there. This is especially true if you’re just entering the market. Hundreds of web apps are released every day, and their inventors strive to grab the attention of new users and potential customers, trying to outshine the others.

One of my most frequently requested tutorials has been to have augmented reality objects interact with users in the physical world. Many have asked me for a tutorial on having AR objects follow them around.

So in the spirit of those requests, what we’re going to do today is write a simple waypoint system. Here’s basically how it’ll work: upon firing up the app, we’ll begin tracking positions, and as we move around, we’ll add waypoints that any object we add to the scene will follow.

Apple’s “live-streamed” event from Apple Park brought improvements to two of their product lines: the iPhone and the HomePod. The most significant improvements were in the iPhone lineup, the most important of which was 5G capabilities and significantly more advanced cameras on the iPhone 12 Pro line. This article will give you a quick rundown of the releases in this year’s Apple event, so you don’t need to watch the full Keynote.

In Facebook’s Spark AR Studio we can use 2D textures to create animations.

We can either:

Note: While importing a GIF we must ensure that it doesn’t contain any real or realistic images of people whether real or fictional or the effect won’t be accepted for publishing.

So which textures can we import? We can import:

Francois Chollet puts it concisely:

For many deep learning problems, we’re finally getting to the “make it efficient” stage. We’d been stuck in the first two stages for many decades, where speed and efficiency weren’t nearly as important as getting things to work in the first place. So the question of how precise our calculations need to be — and whether we can manage with lower precision — wasn’t often asked.

The food processing industry is benefitting greatly from the latest advancements in artificial intelligence, which is doing everything from helping to sort foods, maintaining top-notch health and safety compliances, developing new products, and bolstering the supply chain. The technology is essentially helping to streamline work processes, making the work of employees easier and making operations more efficient.

I’ll be introducing the tools and principles we’ll be using for this tutorial, outlining the process at a high level, and then doing a more in-depth walkthrough. Lastly, I’ll go through the processing code in a bit more detail to explain how everything works. And if you’re up for it, I’ll have a little quiz / FAQ at the end. But if you just want to get things up and running quickly, just follow the steps in the Process section. You can get the whole thing running in just a few minutes!
