According to a team of researchers from RMIT University in Australia, coffee grounds [45]can be used as a silica substitute in the concrete production process to yield a significantly stronger chemical bond than sand alone. Engadget reports: "The disposal of organic waste poses an environmental challenge as it emits large amounts of greenhouse gases including methane and carbon dioxide, which contribute to climate change," lead author of the study, Dr Rajeev Roychand of RMIT's School of Engineering, said in a recent release. He notes that Australia alone produces 75 million kilograms of used coffee grounds each year, most of which ends up in landfills. Coffee grounds can't simply be mixed in raw with standard concrete as they won't bind with the other materials due to their organic content, Dr. Roychand explained. In order to make the grounds more compatible, the team experimented with pyrolyzing the materials at 350 and 500 degrees C, then substituting them in for sand in 5, 10, 15 and 20 percentages (by volume) for standard concrete mixtures. The team found that at 350 degrees is perfect temperature, producing a "29.3 percent enhancement in the compressive strength of the composite concrete blended with coffee biochar," per the team's study, [46]published in the September issue of Journal of Cleaner Production. "In addition to reducing emissions and making a stronger concrete, we're reducing the impact of continuous mining of natural resources like sand," Dr. Roychand said. apply tags__________ 171694478 story [47]Earth [48]Tropical Rainforests Could Get Too Hot For Photosynthesis, Scientists Warn [49]85 Posted by [50]BeauHD on Friday August 25, 2023 @03:00AM from the worrying-trends dept. Using data collected from the International Space Station (ISS), scientists found that a small yet growing percentage of tree leaves in tropical forests are [51]approaching the maximum temperature threshold for leaves to photosynthesize," reports Live Science. If this trend continues, it could spell disaster for Earth's climate systems and biodiversity. The findings have been [52]published in the journal Nature. From the report: The average critical temperature beyond which photosynthetic machinery in tropical trees begins to fail is 116 degrees Fahrenheit (46.7 degrees Celsius). Currently, only 0.01 % of all leaves surpass this critical temperature every year. But scientists warn that air temperature rises of 7.2 F (4 C) could push trees in tropical forests beyond a tipping point and into mass death. "It's concerning from our perspective that you see nonlinear trends. So you heat the air by, let's say, 2, 3 degrees Celsius [3.6 to 5.4 F], and the actual upper temperature of these leaves goes up by 8 degrees [Celsius; 14.4 F]," Christopher Doughty, an associate professor of ecoinformatics at Northern Arizona University, said during a press conference on Monday (Aug. 21). "Even though a small percentage of leaves are currently doing this, our best guess is that a 4 degrees Celsius increase in temperature could cause some serious issues for certain tropical forests." [...] Plugging these peak temperatures into a mathematical model, the scientists found that an average 7 F (3.9 C) increase in the air temperature surrounding the leaves caused those most exposed to the heat to have their water-carrying stomata closed off by the tree, leading to their deaths. This triggered a cascade effect, increasing the temperature around the remaining leaves and potentially killing them, their branches and the trees in turn. "If you have 10% of the leaves dying, the whole branch is going to be warmer because a critical part of that branch can no longer cool the broader branch. Likewise you can make that assumption across the whole forest when a tree dies," Doughty said. apply tags__________ 171693790 story [53]AI [54]DHS Has Spent Millions On an AI Surveillance Tool That Scans For 'Sentiment and Emotion' [55](404media.co) [56]21 Posted by [57]BeauHD on Thursday August 24, 2023 @11:30PM from the would-you-look-at-that dept. New submitter [58]Slash_Account_Dot shares a report from 404 Media, a new independent media company founded by technology journalists Jason Koebler, Emanuel Maiberg, Samantha Cole, and Joseph Cox: Customs and Border Protection (CBP), part of the Department of Homeland Security, has bought millions of dollars worth of software from a company that [59]uses artificial intelligence to detect "sentiment and emotion" in online posts, according to a cache of documents obtained by 404 Media. CBP told 404 Media it is using technology to analyze open source information related to inbound and outbound travelers who the agency believes may threaten public safety, national security, or lawful trade and travel. In this case, the specific company called Fivecast also offers "AI-enabled" object recognition in images and video, and detection of "risk terms and phrases" across multiple languages, according to one of the documents. Marketing materials promote the software's ability to provide targeted data collection from big social platforms like Facebook and Reddit, but also specifically names smaller communities like 4chan, 8kun, and Gab. To demonstrate its functionality, Fivecast promotional materials explain how the software was able to track social media posts and related Persons-of-Interest starting with just "basic bio details" from a New York Times Magazine article about members of the far-right paramilitary Boogaloo movement. 404 Media also obtained leaked audio of a Fivecast employee explaining how the tool could be used against trafficking networks or propaganda operations. The news signals CBP's continued use of artificial intelligence in its monitoring of travelers and targets, which can include U.S. citizens. This latest news shows that CBP has deployed multiple AI-powered systems, and provides insight into what exactly these tools claim to be capable of while raising questions about their accuracy and utility. "CBP should not be secretly buying and deploying tools that rely on junk science to scrutinize people's social media posts, claim to analyze their emotions, and identify purported 'risks,'" said Patrick Toomey, deputy director of the ACLU's National Security Project. "The public knows far too little about CBP's Counter Network Division, but what we do know paints a disturbing picture of an agency with few rules and access to an ocean of sensitive personal data about Americans. The potential for abuse is immense." apply tags__________ 171693824 story [60]Firefox [61]Firefox Users May Import Chrome Extensions Now [62](ghacks.net) [63]24 Posted by [64]BeauHD on Thursday August 24, 2023 @09:25PM from the long-overdue-features dept. Mozilla has implemented the [65]WebExtensions system in its browser, [66]allowing Firefox users to import select extensions from other browsers like Chrome. gHacks reports: The feature, which is in testing at the moment, can be enabled by all users of the latest stable version of Firefox. 1. Load about:config in the browser's address bar. 2. Confirm that you will be careful to continue. 3. Search for browser.migrate.chrome.extensions.enabled. 4. Set the feature to True, which enables it. 5. Restart Firefox. Mozilla has integrated it into the browser's import functionality, which users may use on first run or at any time from the Settings page. To do so, select Menu > Settings > Import Data (button), or load about:preferences#general in the browser's address bar and activate the import data button on the page. Select Chrome from the list, expand the available import options and make sure extensions are checked. Imports are usually limited to some data, such as bookmarks or the browsing history. Firefox is the first major browser, maybe the first browser at all, that adds extensions to the list of supported imports. The feature is limited at the time to Google Chrome and [67]select extensions. Even though Firefox and Chrome extensions use the same framework, WebExtensions, they are not compatible immediately. Firefox users who attempt to install extensions from Chrome's Web Store may notice that this is not working. Mozilla decided to create a list of extension pairs for extensions that are available on the Chrome Web Store and the Mozilla Add-ons Store. Instead of importing the Chrome extension directly, Firefox is installing the Firefox version of the extension from Mozilla's own extension store. apply tags__________ 171693676 story [68]Apple [69]Apple's Vision Pro Labs Are Drawing Audible Gasps From Developers, Says Company [70](zdnet.com) [71]43 Posted by [72]BeauHD on Thursday August 24, 2023 @08:45PM from the are-they-looking-at-the-price? dept. According to a recent Apple [73]press release, some developers are [74]reacting with an "audible gasp" when first using the company's upcoming [75]Vision Pro headset. ZDNet reports: Michael Simmons, who's led the team behind popular productivity apps Fantastical and Cardhop described his experience as "like seeing Fantastical for the first time. It felt like I was part of the app." By the time his test session was over, the big takeaway was that "Experiencing spatial computing not only validated the designs we'd been thinking about -- it helped us start thinking not just about left to right or up and down but beyond borders at all." "The first time you see your own app running for real, that's when you get the audible gasp," adds David Smith, podcaster and developer of Widgetsmith. "It instantly got me thinking about how 3D offerings and visuals could come forward in our experiences," says Chris Delbuck, principal design technologist at Slack, in the Apple press release. Delbuck had first planned to test the iPadOS version of Slack on the Vision Pro, only to realize how much more potential there was in upgrading the UX to suit VisionOS' added layer of depth. apply tags__________ 171693628 story [76]Transportation [77]Tesla Wins Permit Approval For Diner and Drive-In Movie Supercharger In LA [78](teslarati.com) [79]38 Posted by [80]BeauHD on Thursday August 24, 2023 @08:02PM from the he-wasn't-joking dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from Teslarati: Tesla has [81]won permit approval for its Diner and Drive-In Movie Supercharger in Los Angeles, according to documents seen by Teslarati from the LA Department of Building and Safety. Tesla has been [82]teasing the possibility for several years of a drive-in movie theater and diner Supercharger site that would host 32 stalls, two screens to show famous movie clips, and a restaurant with rooftop seating. Initially, it was planned to be built on a series of lots in Santa Monica. However, the location was moved East to Hollywood and will now be placed on located at 7001 W. Santa Monica Boulevard. As the project has been moving through the normal regulatory processes, Tesla has been receiving some approvals and requests for corrections on many of its filed applications to begin construction at the Diner/Supercharger. apply tags__________ 171693568 story [83]AI [84]Germany Plans To Double AI Funding In Race With China, US [85]9 Posted by [86]BeauHD on Thursday August 24, 2023 @07:20PM from the AI-race dept. Germany [87]plans to almost double its public funding for artificial intelligence research to nearly a billion euros over the next two years, as it attempts to close a skills gap with sector leaders China and the United States. Reuters reports: The target, announced by research minister Bettina Stark-Watzinger on Wednesday, is modest compared with the $3.3 billion that the U.S. government spent on AI research in 2022 according to a Stanford University report. The AI push comes as Germany attempts to turn around its economy from a recession while the country's key autos and chemicals industries face stiff competition from upstart electric-vehicle makers and high energy costs. Germany envisages creating 150 new university labs for AI research, expanding data centres and making accessible the kind of complex public data sets from which AI techniques can tease out new insights: a major undertaking in a country where cash transactions are common and the fax is not yet extinct. It is dwarfed by private AI spending in the U.S., which reached $47.4 billion in 2022, almost double Europe's total spend, and well ahead of China's $13.4 billion, the Stanford report found. But Stark-Watzinger said that Europe's emerging regulatory framework, which places greater weight on privacy and personal safety than those in other regions, could attract players to Germany, as could cooperation within the European Union. "We have AI that is explainable, trustworthy and transparent," she said. "That's a competitive advantage." Simpler regulations would promote private research spending, she added. apply tags__________ 171693890 story [88]United States [89]Magnus Carlsen Becomes Chess World Cup Champion [90](chess.com) [91]10 Posted by [92]BeauHD on Thursday August 24, 2023 @07:00PM from the world's-best dept. Five-time world champion, Magnus Carlsen, has [93]defeated Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu in a tiebreak to become Chess World Cup champion. Chess.com reports: The five-time world champion won his first World Cup crown by defeating GM Praggnanandhaa Rameshbabu 1.5-0.5 in the rapid tiebreaks of the 2023 FIDE World Cup for a match victory of 2.5-1.5. In the third-place playoffs, GM Fabiano Caruana convincingly defeated GM Nijat Abasov in both rapid tiebreaks for a 3-1 victory and third place. It was a heartbreaking defeat for the Indian youngster, who had the initiative in the first game until Carlsen fought back and won in a tense endgame. In the second game, the world number-one allowed no chances, and Praggnanandhaa's impressive World Cup run came to an end as hundreds of thousands of fans watched the tense battle.

Better.com, the digital mortgage lender in the news earlier this year when its CEO [100]fired roughly 900 workers via Zoom, picked a bad time to go public. "Shares of the Softbank-backed company [101]plunged 93% as it began trading as BETR on the Nasdaq Thursday, falling more than $16 per share to $1.19 by mid-day," reports Fast Company. It went public via a merger with special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Aurora Acquisition Corp. Before its merger with BETR, Aurora had a 52-week high of $62.91. From the report: The disastrous public launch comes two years after the company initially filed to go public, but it (and the real estate market) has faced a number of challenges in the time since. The outlook for homebuying is bleak, to put it mildly, for the near- to mid-term future. Mortgage rates are at their highest point since 2000 -- hitting 7.31% last week -- and showing no signs of a turnaround. Because the majority of American homeowners have mortgages at or well below 5%, they're reticent to put their homes on the market, which creates a supply shortage, even for those who are willing to accept the high rates. But Better's own history could be working against it, as well. The company came under fire in December 2021 for laying off 900 employees via Zoom. (Some didn't know they'd been affected until they learned they were locked out of company accounts.) A few months later, it cut another 3,000 workers. One month after, that it slashed another 1,000 jobs. Eventually, the company cut 91% of its workforce over an 18-month period. That wasn't the end of the problems, though. In a leaked video of a town hall meeting following the first round of layoffs, CEO Vishal Garg was shown vacillating on the reasons, blaming everything from marketplace forces to the recently-canned employees' performance. apply tags__________ 171693452 story [102]The Almighty Buck [103]Epic's New Program Lets Developers Keep Their Revenue In Exchange For Exclusivity [104](theverge.com) [105]20 Posted by [106]BeauHD on Thursday August 24, 2023 @06:00PM from the your-move-@Apple dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Verge: Epic Games will [107]let developers keep 100 percent of their net revenues from the Epic Games Store for six months if they choose to make their games or apps exclusives for that time through its new First Run program, the company [108]announced on Wednesday. Typically, Epic lets developers keep 88 percent of their revenues, with the company taking a 12 percent cut. For developers who launch a product through First Run, the split will return to 88 / 12 once the six months are up. Developers who choose to participate in the Epic First Run program will see a few other benefits as well. Epic says First Run games and apps will be presented to Store users with "new exclusive badging, homepage placements, and dedicated collections" and will be featured in "relevant store campaigns including sales, events, and editorial as applicable." The program is open now, and the first products that will be eligible to be part of the program must launch on or after October 16th. [...] However, developers can be a part of First Run and still release their products on their own stores. Here's what Epic says about which products are eligible: "A new release game or app which has not been previously released on another third-party PC store or included in a subscription service available on another third-party PC store. Games or apps with a pre-existing exclusivity deal with the Epic Games Store are not eligible for the program." apply tags__________ 171692138 story [109]Sony [110]Sony is Buying Gaming Headphone Maker, Audeze [111](techcrunch.com) [112]12 Posted by msmash on Thursday August 24, 2023 @05:20PM from the up-next dept. Sony Interactive Entertainment (basically the PlayStation wing) today [113]announced plans to acquire Audeze. From a report: The Orange Country, CA-based firm is best known for its high-end headphones, targeted at gamers and audio producers. The hardware is often priced into four-figures, but the company earns consistently high marks from reviewers and users alike. In a release announcing the news, the companies are quick to note that operating under the Sony banner won't mean platform exclusivity (at least not at first). Audeze will continue to produce gaming headphones for competitors, including -- presumably -- the Xbox. Playstation branded products, however, are almost certain to follow. apply tags__________ 171691740 story [114]Security [115]Gmail To Start Issuing 2FA Challenges To Change 'Sensitive' Settings [116](arstechnica.com) [117]61 Posted by msmash on Thursday August 24, 2023 @04:40PM from the strengthening-security dept. Gmail only asks for your user credentials during the initial login, and that login session can last for weeks at a time. That's not as secure as it could be, so soon Gmail will [118]start posting 2FA challenges if you try to access any "sensitive" settings, even when you're already logged in. From a report: The newly protected settings are for filters, account forwarding, and IMAP. Soon, poking around in any of these options will boot you into a "Verify it's you" 2FA prompt, and you'll have to pass the challenge on your phone (these settings are only available on the web). If this 2FA challenge is failed or not answered, you'll get a bright red "Critical security alert" pop-up alerting you to the attempt on all your trusted devices. apply tags__________ 171692046 story [119]AI [120]Stephen King, Zadie Smith and Rachel Cusk's Pirated Works Used To Train AI [121](theguardian.com) [122]95 Posted by msmash on Thursday August 24, 2023 @04:00PM from the closer-look dept. Zadie Smith, Stephen King, Rachel Cusk and Elena Ferrante are among thousands of authors whose [123]pirated works have been used to train artificial intelligence tools, a story in The Atlantic has revealed. The Guardian: More than 170,000 titles were fed into models run by companies including Meta and Bloomberg, according to an analysis of "Books3" -- the dataset harnessed by the firms to build their AI tools. Books3 was used to train Meta's LLaMA, one of a number of large language models -- the best-known of which is OpenAI's ChatGPT -- that can generate content based on patterns identified in sample texts. The dataset was also used to train Bloomberg's BloombergGPT, EleutherAI's GPT-J and it is "likely" it has been used in other AI models. The titles contained in Books3 are roughly one-third fiction and two-thirds nonfiction, and the majority were published within the last two decades. Along with Smith, King, Cusk and Ferrante's writing, copyrighted works in the dataset include 33 books by Margaret Atwood, at least nine by Haruki Murakami, nine by bell hooks, seven by Jonathan Franzen, five by Jennifer Egan and five by David Grann. Books by George Saunders, Junot DÃaz, Michael Pollan, Rebecca Solnit and Jon Krakauer also feature, as well as 102 pulp novels by Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard and 90 books by pastor John MacArthur. The titles span large and small publishers including more than 30,000 published by Penguin Random House, 14,000 by HarperCollins, 7,000 by Macmillan, 1,800 by Oxford University Press and 600 by Verso. apply tags__________ 171691854 story [124]The Almighty Buck [125]Mastercard, Binance To End Crypto Card Partnership [126](reuters.com) [127]1 Posted by msmash on Thursday August 24, 2023 @03:20PM from the back-to-earth dept.

Shares of Nvidia rose 6.7% to hit a new all-time high on Thursday, after the company unveiled a $25 billion buyback plan, coupled with record quarterly revenue powered by strong demand for its artificial intelligence (AI)-focused chips. From a report: Nvidia generated revenue of $13.51 billion in the second quarter and predicted that revenue would reach $16 billion in the third quarter, the company reported late on Wednesday. Both results exceeded analyst expectations, as per Refinitiv. Santa-Clara, California-based Nvidia also said it would buyback $25 billion worth of its shares. Nvidia's stock [133]rose as high as $502.66, surpassing a record high hit earlier this week, and further entrenching itself as the first trillion-dollar chip maker. It pared some of those gains and was last up 1.8% at $479.82.
