A network of artificial neurons learns to use human language
A group of researchers has developed a cognitive model, made up of two million interconnected artificial neurons, able to learn to communicate using human language starting from a state of 'tabula rasa', only through communication with a human interlocutor. This research sheds light on the neural processes that underlie the development of language....

What's Important About Underwater Internet Cables
“So Ingrid,” Sam asked, “how exactly will you convince your editor that submarine cables are relevant to The Cloud?” We were maybe still in New Mexico or somewhere in Kansas. It was a night drive. Time moves weirdly during night drives. All roads basically become the closing moments of Terminator 2. Whenever it was and wherever it was, it was apparently a good time for my d...

The Land That the Internet Era Forgot
FOR A GUY born and raised in Mexico, Roberto Gallardo has an exquisite knack for Southern manners. That’s one of the first things I notice about him when we meet up one recent morning at a deli in Starkville, Mississippi. Mostly it’s the way he punctuates his answers to my questions with a decorous “Yes sir” or “No sir”—a verbal tic I associate with my own Mississippi...

Watch the Bob Ross of engineering dispel the myth of high-res audio
I've spent the past month reviewing a pair of smartphones with one thing in common: great audio. First came the HTC One A9, capable of upscaling 16-bit recordings to 24-bit and powering high-end headphones with an especially potent integrated amplifier. Then I spent time with the LG V10, which relies on an ESS Sabre DAC (digital-to-analog converter) and amplifier combo that...
