[44]schwit1 shares a report from TechXplore: Chinese researchers say they [45]successfully bypassed fingerprint authentication safeguards on smartphones by staging a brute force attack. Researchers at Zhejiang University and Tencent Labs capitalized on vulnerabilities of modern smartphone fingerprint scanners to stage their break-in operation, which they named BrutePrint. Their findings are [46]published on the arXiv preprint server. A flaw in the Match-After-Lock feature, which is supposed to bar authentication activity once a device is in lockout mode, was overridden to allow a researcher to continue submitting an unlimited number of fingerprint samples. Inadequate protection of biometric data stored on the Serial Peripheral Interface of fingerprint sensors enables attackers to steal fingerprint images. Samples also can be easily obtained from academic datasets or from biometric data leaks. And a feature designed to limit the number of unsuccessful fingerprint matching attempts -- Cancel-After-Match-Fail (CAMF) -- has a flaw that allowed researchers to inject a checksum error disabling CAMF protection. In addition, BrutePrint altered illicitly obtained fingerprint images to appear as though they were scanned by the targeted device. This step improved the chances that images would be deemed valid by fingerprint scanners. To launch a successful break-in, an attacker requires physical access to a targeted phone for several hours, a printed circuit board easily obtainable for $15, and access to fingerprint images. apply tags__________ 171010051 story [47]Space [48]Virgin Orbit Shuts Down After Bankruptcy Sales [49](cnbc.com) [50]5 Posted by [51]BeauHD on Wednesday May 24, 2023 @03:00AM from the going-once-going-twice-sold dept. [52]Virgin Orbit, a bankrupt rocket company spun off from Virgin Galactic, [53]is shutting down after selling its facility leases and equipment to aerospace companies in an auction. CNBC reports: Spun out of Virgin Galactic in 2017 by founder Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Orbit reached rarefied air by flying multiple missions. But difficulty raising funds, and slow execution, brought the once multibillion-dollar company to bankruptcy and ultimately shut down. Monday's auction bids amount to about $36 million in total. Virgin Orbit's six or so rockets that were in various stages of manufacturing assembly, and its intellectual property, have yet to be sold, a Virgin Orbit spokesperson confirmed. Rocket Lab successfully bid $16.1 million for the company's headquarters in Long Beach, California, which is about 140,000 square feet, the spokesperson said. Although founded in New Zealand, Rocket Lab was already a neighbor of Virgin Orbit, with a headquarters and facilities in the Long Beach area. Additionally, Rocket Lab's purchase includes assets such as 3D-printers and a specialty tank welding machine. In a press release, Rocket Lab said the Virgin Orbit assets will improve its production, manufacturing, and test capabilities, especially in developing its larger Neutron rocket. Stratolaunch was awarded its $17 million "stalking horse" bid for Virgin Orbit's 747 jet. A Stratolaunch spokesperson, in a statement to CNBC, said the company "continually evaluates ways to increase our capacity to meet the imperative for testing hypersonic technologies via leap-ahead flight demonstrations." "We will share more news about the sale as it becomes available," Stratolaunch noted. Previously in the bankruptcy process, Virgin Orbit agreed to the terms of Stratolaunch's bid, which was to purchase the 747 jet "Cosmic Girl" and other aircraft assets. Stratolaunch has been developing its own airborne system, the world's largest airplane called "Roc," as a platform for hypersonic flight testing. Launcher, a subsidiary of Vast Space, is purchasing the company's facility in Mojave, California -- as well as some machinery, equipment and inventory -- for $2.7 million. Virgin Orbit's Mojave leases include infrastructure such as rocket engine test stands and an aircraft hangar. A liquidation company, Inliper, is purchasing the company's office equipment for $650,000. apply tags__________ 171008889 story [54]AI [55]Bill Gates Says AI Could Kill Google Search and Amazon As We Know Them [56](cnbc.com) [57]84 Posted by [58]BeauHD on Tuesday May 23, 2023 @11:30PM from the what-to-expect dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNBC: Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates believes the future top company in artificial intelligence will likely have created a personal digital agent that can perform certain tasks for people. The technology will be so profound, it could radically alter user behaviors. "Whoever wins the personal agent, that's the big thing, because [59]you will never go to a search site again, you will never go to a productivity site, you'll never go to Amazon again," he said. This yet-to-be developed AI assistant will be able to understand a person's needs and habits and will help them "read the stuff you don't have time to read," Gates said Monday during a Goldman Sachs and SV Angel event in San Francisco on the topic of artificial intelligence. Gates said there is a 50-50 chance that this future AI winner will be either a startup or a tech giant. "I'd be disappointed if Microsoft didn't come in there," Gates said. "But I'm impressed with a couple of startups, including Inflection," he added referring to Inflection.AI, co-founded by former DeepMind executive Mustafa Suleyman. It will take some time until this powerful future digital agent is ready for mainstream use, Gates said. Until then, companies will continue embedding so-called generative AI technologies akin to OpenAI's popular ChatGPT into their own products. [...] He also likened the rise of generative AI technologies that can produce compelling text as a game-changer that will affect white-collar workers. Gates added that he believes that future humanoid robots that are cheaper for companies to use than human employees will greatly impact blue-collar workers, too. "As we invent these robots, we just need to make sure they don't get Alzheimer's," Gates said in jest. apply tags__________ 171008721 story [60]Medicine [61]Brain Waves Can Tell Us How Much Pain Someone Is In [62]34 Posted by [63]BeauHD on Tuesday May 23, 2023 @09:25PM from the better-treatment-methods-incoming dept. A study [64]published in Nature Neuroscience suggests that brain signals [65]can be used to detect the severity of chronic pain, potentially leading to the development of personalized therapies for individuals suffering from severe pain conditions. MIT Technology Review reports: Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, implanted electrodes in the brains of four people with chronic pain. The patients then answered surveys about the severity of their pain multiple times a day over a period of three to six months. After they finished filling out each survey, they sat quietly for 30 seconds so the electrodes could record their brain activity. This helped the researchers identify biomarkers of chronic pain in the brain signal patterns, which were as unique to the individual as a fingerprint. Next, the researchers used machine learning to model the results of the surveys. They found they could successfully predict how the patients would score the severity of their pain by examining their brain activity, says Prasad Shirvalkar, one of the study's authors. "The hope is that now that we know where these signals live, and now that we know what type of signals to look for, we could actually try to track them noninvasively," he says. "As we recruit more patients, or better characterize how these signals vary between people, maybe we can use it for diagnosis." The researchers also found they were able to distinguish a patient's chronic pain from acute pain deliberately inflicted using a thermal probe. The chronic-pain signals came from a different part of the brain, suggesting that it's not just a prolonged version of acute pain, but something else entirely. apply tags__________ 171008511 story [66]Facebook [67]Facebook Parent In Talks With Magic Leap Over Augmented Reality Deal [68](ft.com) [69]12 Posted by [70]BeauHD on Tuesday May 23, 2023 @08:45PM from the combined-forces-to-rival-Apple dept. Facebook's parent company Meta is reportedly in discussions with augmented reality start-up Magic Leap to [71]establish a multiyear agreement for intellectual property licensing and contract manufacturing in North America. While the partnership is not expected to result in a joint headset, Magic Leap's technology could play a crucial role in Meta's ambitious metaverse project as it seeks to compete with Apple's [72]upcoming mixed reality device. The Financial Times reports: Magic Leap produces custom components, including high-tech lenses and associated software, which are key technologies that may be required to build a metaverse. Two former employees said Magic Leap's "biggest asset" is the sophistication of its "waveguides" -- technology that allows thin glass in front of the user's eyes to conjure up realistic images at different depths. Meta sells nearly 80 per cent of all VR/AR headsets, thanks to its VR Quest models. But the market itself is small -- fewer than 9mn units sold last year, according to IDC -- a tenuous lead given Apple's expected entry into the market during its developer conference next month. The company told the Financial Times: "Given the complexities of developing true augmented reality technologies and the intricacies involved with manufacturing these optics, as well as the issues many companies experience with overseas supply chain dependencies, we have entered into several non-exclusive IP licensing and manufacturing partnerships with companies looking to enter the AR market or expand their current position." apply tags__________ 171008561 story [73]AI [74]Google Bard Adds Images For More Visual Responses [75](9to5google.com) [76]2 Posted by [77]BeauHD on Tuesday May 23, 2023 @08:22PM from the first-of-many-new-updates dept. Image support for Google Bard is [78]now rolling out. 9to5Google reports: The [79]latest update (2023.05.23) to Bard will return images (from Google Search) so you can visualize responses when relevant. For example, if you're asking for interesting places to visit, each listing will be accompanied by a picture (e.g., "what are some must-see sights in LA?"). Images appear underneath each bullet point with the site name and favicon appearing in the top-right corner. Tapping opens the link, while hovering over shows the URL with a right-click menu also available. Meanwhile, you can ask for photos directly like any other image search (e.g., "show me pictures of roses"). apply tags__________ 171008479 story [80]Communications [81]SkyFi Lets You Order Up Fresh Satellite Imagery In Real Time With a Click [82](techcrunch.com) [83]6 Posted by [84]BeauHD on Tuesday May 23, 2023 @08:02PM from the Netflix-of-the-geospatial-world dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: Commercial Earth-observation companies collect an unprecedented volume of images and data every single day, but purchasing even a single satellite image can be cumbersome and time-intensive. [85]SkyFi, a two-year-old startup, is looking to change that with an app and API that [86]makes ordering a satellite image as easy as a click of a few buttons on a smartphone or computer. SkyFi doesn't build or operate satellites; instead, it partners with over a dozen companies to deliver various kinds of satellite images -- including optical, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and hyperspectral -- directly to the customer via a web and mobile app. A SkyFi user can task a satellite to capture a specific image or choose from a library of previously captured images. Some of SkyFi's partners include public companies like Satellogic, as well as newer startups like Umbra and Pixxel. The startup is taking a very 21st-century approach to the Earth observation industry. SkyFi co-founders Bill Perkins and Luke Fischer emphasize that their company is focused on user experience and creating a seamless purchasing process for the consumer, contrasted sharply with what Fischer called "business models based on the '80s and '90s." "We're very customer-focused," Bill Perkins said on the TerraWatch Space podcast. "The industry is science-focused and product-focused." The startup is targeting three types of customers: individual consumers; large enterprise customers, from verticals spanning agriculture, mining, finance, insurance and more; and U.S. government and defense customers. SkyFi's solution is appealing even these latter customers, who may have plenty of experience working with satellite companies already and could afford the high costs in the traditional marketplace. "Even though we have companies that are multibillion dollar corporations using our platform that could afford to have a multimillion dollar contract year with [any] public satellite company, they're being more cost conscious and that's where this offering of SkyFi comes in," Fischer said. "There is no and will never be a 'contact sales' button on SkyFi," Fischer said. "Because it just was ruining the industry." "I think of SkyFi as the Netflix of the geospatial world, where I think of Umbra, Satellogic and Maxar as the movie studios of the world," Fischer said. "I just want them to produce great content and put it on the platform." apply tags__________ 171008445 story [87]Piracy [88]'More Than 600,000 Students and Teachers Use Z-Library' [89](torrentfreak.com) [90]11 Posted by [91]BeauHD on Tuesday May 23, 2023 @07:20PM from the worth-highlighting dept. According to email addresses associated with Z-Library, [92]more than 600,000 students and teachers are using the pirate eBook repository. TorrentFreak notes that this is "likely an underestimation," especially since the United States is excluded from the analysis. From the report: The team analyzed its user database to check how many user email-addresses are linked to universities, colleges and schools. This gives an impression of how many students and employees use the site but it's likely a low estimate, as students may very well use their personal email addresses to sign up. Still, the overall outcome and the global distribution of users is worth highlighting. China is the top country in absolute numbers, followed by India and Indonesia. This is no surprise, perhaps, as these countries also have the largest populations. Looking at the full database, Z-Library linked 600,000 email addresses to a total of 30,000 educational institutions around the world. The only country missing from the top list, population-wise, is the United States. Z-Library notes that it intentionally excluded the country due to the criminal prosecution of two of the site's alleged operators. "It should be noted that when compiling statistics, we excluded all data related to the United States due to illegal arrest of two Russian citizens on suspicion of involvement in Z-Library," the shadow library [93]writes on Telegram. There are also some relatively smaller countries in the top list, such as Australia. With a population of just over 25 million, Z-Library is relatively popular there, beating Brazil and Vietnam, which both have much larger populations. The Australian Monash University also gets a special mention. Apparently, it is the educational institution where users have created the most public booklists. These lists are personal book collections that can be focused on any theme, including educational topics. Trinity College Dublin, in Ireland, is the runner-up based on the number of created booklists. It's worth a separate mention, however, as it also appears in the top 5 universities that donated to Z-Library. The list of most avid Z-Library supported is led by the top Chinese universities, which are grouped for the purpose of this analysis. apply tags__________ 171008273 story [94]AI [95]Adobe Photoshop's New 'Generative Fill' AI Tool Lets You Manipulate Photos With Text [96](arstechnica.com) [97]27 Posted by [98]BeauHD on Tuesday May 23, 2023 @06:40PM from the never-trust-another-photo-again dept. Adobe has [99]introduced a new tool called "Generative Fill" in the Photoshop beta, which utilizes cloud-based image synthesis and AI-generated content to [100]fill selected areas of an image based on a text description. Ars Technica reports: Powered by Adobe Firefly, Generative Fill works similarly to a technique called "inpainting" used in DALL-E and Stable Diffusion releases since last year. At the core of Generative Fill is [101]Adobe Firefly, which is Adobe's custom image-synthesis model. As a deep learning AI model, Firefly has been trained on millions of images in Adobe's stock library to associate certain imagery with text descriptions of them. Now part of Photoshop, people can type in what they want to see (i.e., "a clown on a computer monitor"), and Firefly will synthesize several options for the user to choose from. Generative Fill uses a well-known AI technique called "[102]inpainting" to create a context-aware generation that can seamlessly blend synthesized imagery into an existing image. To use Generative Fill, users select an area of an existing image they want to modify. After selecting it, a "Contextual Task Bar" pops up that allows users to type in a description of what they want to see generated in the selected area. Photoshop sends this data to Adobe's servers for processing, then returns results in the app. After generating, the user has the option to select between several options of generations or to create more options to browse through. When used, the Generative Fill tool creates a new "Generative Layer," allowing for [103]non-destructive alterations of image content, such as additions, extensions, or removals, driven by these text prompts. It automatically adjusts to the perspective, lighting, and style of the selected image. apply tags__________ 171008255 story [104]Bitcoin [105]Binance Commingled Customer Funds and Company Revenue, Former Insiders Say [106](reuters.com) [107]12 Posted by [108]BeauHD on Tuesday May 23, 2023 @06:00PM from the behind-the-scenes dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from Reuters: The world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, [109]commingled customer funds with company revenue in 2020 and 2021, in breach of U.S. financial rules that require customer money to be kept separate, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. One of the sources, a person with direct knowledge of Binance's group finances, said the sums ran into billions of dollars and commingling happened almost daily in accounts the exchange held at U.S. lender Silvergate Bank. Reuters couldn't independently verify the figures or the frequency. But the news agency reviewed a bank record showing that on Feb. 10, 2021, Binance mixed $20 million from a corporate account with $15 million from an account that received customer money. The money flows at Binance described by Reuters indicate a lack of internal controls to ensure customer funds were clearly identifiable and segregated from company revenues, three former U.S. regulators said. They said the commingling of these funds put client assets at risk by obscuring their whereabouts. Binance customers shouldn't "need a forensic accountant to find where their money is," said John Reed Stark, a former chief of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Office of Internet Enforcement. Reuters found no evidence that Binance client monies were lost or taken. The commingling of customer and corporate funds can be a precursor to heavy losses for clients of financial firms. In December, the SEC and CFTC alleged that the founder of the collapsed FTX crypto exchange, Sam Bankman-Fried, for years had commingled client funds at his trading firm and used the monies to finance venture capital investments, political donations and real estate purchases. Bankman-Fried has pleaded not guilty to fraud charges and said he did not knowingly commingle any funds. In a statement to Reuters, Binance denied mixing customer deposits and company funds. "These accounts were not used to accept user deposits; they were used to facilitate user purchases" of crypto, said spokesperson Brad Jaffe. "There was no commingling at any time because these are 100% corporate funds." When users sent money to the account, he said, they were not depositing funds but buying the exchange's bespoke dollar-linked crypto-token, BUSD. This process was "exactly the same thing as buying a product from Amazon," Jaffe said. apply tags__________ 171007631 story [110]Windows [111]28 Years Later, Windows Finally Supports RAR Files [112](techcrunch.com) [113]94 Posted by msmash on Tuesday May 23, 2023 @05:20PM from the it-has-been-99-years dept.

Goliath Tech Suits [116](bloomberg.com) [117]11 Posted by msmash on Tuesday May 23, 2023 @04:41PM from the how-about-that dept. The iPhone maker, VC veteran are [118]fighting for heart-health tracking market. From a report: There's an unwritten rule for technology startups: Never challenge Apple in court if you want to survive. The world's most valuable company has a track record of success in a long string of David versus Goliath battles over cutting-edge, life-changing technologies. But billionaire Vinod Khosla is no lightweight. He's one of Silicon Valley's most celebrated venture capitalists, and he's used to playing long odds on the startups he backs. Khosla Ventures LLC put itself on a collision course with Apple when it moved into the personal health and fitness space a decade ago and invested in AliveCor, a maker of cardiac monitoring devices and software. What might have been a big partnership opportunity for AliveCor in the years following the release of the Apple Watch in 2015, to offer watch bands that monitor heart health, has turned into a messy court fight. Now, instead of riding Apple's coattails as a prominent player in the wearable medical device market, forecast to grow to $132.5 billion by 2031, AliveCor's Food and Drug Administration-approved technology is inaccessible to the tens of millions of people who buy Apple Watches every year. The startup is in its third year of trying to prove to judges that the iPhone maker brazenly copied its heart-monitoring technology and sabotaged AliveCor's ability to offer its own product on the Apple Watch. Apple has parried with claims that its smaller rival's patent-infringement and antitrust claims are meritless -- and with counterattacks alleging that AliveCor is the imitator. apply tags__________ 171007179 story [119]AI [120]White House Takes New Steps To Study AI Risks, Determine Impact on Workers [121](reuters.com) [122]25 Posted by msmash on Tuesday May 23, 2023 @04:00PM from the for-what-it's-worth dept. The White House said on Tuesday it would ask workers how their [123]employers use artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor them, as it allocates federal investments in the technology, which is expected to change the nature of work. From a report: The White House will hold a listening session with workers to understand their experience with employers' use of automated technologies for surveillance, monitoring and evaluation. The call will include gig work experts, researchers, and policymakers. Millions of users have tried AI apps and tools, which supporters say can make medical diagnoses, write screenplays, create legal briefs and debug software, leading to growing concern about how the technology could lead to privacy violations, skew employment decisions, and power scams and misinformation campaigns. As part of its evaluation of the technology, the administration will also announce new steps, including an updated roadmap for federal investments in AI research, a request for public input on AI risks and with a new report from the Department of Education on how AI affects teaching, learning and research. apply tags__________ 171007437 story [124]Television [125]Netflix's Password Sharing Crackdown Officially Hits US Customers [126](yahoo.com) [127]80 Posted by msmash on Tuesday May 23, 2023 @03:09PM from the it's-here dept.

Instead, all 2024 Ford and Lincoln models will be able to tune in to AM radio. And for the two electric vehicles released without AM radio capabilities, a software update would be pushed to restore it. The announcement came after Farley said he spoke with policy leaders on the "importance of AM broadcast radio as a part of the emergency alert system." A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced legislation in Washington last week that would require automakers to [135]keep AM radio in all their vehicles.
