"For the millions of viewers catching the action around the world, the 2019
US Open will feature an even more robust AI Highlights feature, which
captures the most exciting moments from the tournament to compile a
highlight reel in near-real time. Watson was trained to digest highlight
clips and rank the excitement level or highlight-worthiness of each clip. To
start, we put <https://www.ibm.com/watson/media> IBM Watson Media to work
to automatically identify the start and end of each point, based on the
camera angle and the sound of the tennis ball being struck. Then
<https://www.ibm.com/watson/services/visual-recognition/> Watson's visual
recognition capabilities identify the celebratory gestures of a player - a
fist pump or an arm raised overhead in celebration. Watson can even detect
emotion in a player's face, and it assigns each reaction a score. Next, with
the <https://www.ibm.com/cloud/machine-learning> latest in machine learning
breakthroughs, Watson analyzes the crowd roar - again, giving each clip a
crowd reaction score. Finally, the context of the match - whether it's a
break point or set point and so on - is factored into the overall excitement
level."

Facebook quietly ditched the 'It’s free and always will be' slogan from its homepage
Facebook has quietly changed the slogan on its homepage encouraging people to signup.
The tagline has been changed from "It's free and always will be" to "It's quick and easy" — ditching, for the first time in more than a decade, a reference to the fact that it costs nothing to become a user.
Using internet archive Wayback Machine, it appears that Facebook quietly switched the slogan at some point between August 6 and August 7.
Here, the archive site shows the original slogan still in place on August 6.

However, by August 7, the slogan has been changed, removing the mention of the site being free and replacing it with "It's quick and easy.":

Business Insider contacted Facebook to ask why the change was made, but the company is yet to respond to our request for comment.
It marks a departure from familiar Facebook rhetoric. The company has long and vocally touted the fact it is free to use because of its advertising-funded business model.
Just a few weeks ago, Nick Clegg, Facebook's recently hired head of global affairs and one of CEO Mark Zuckerberg's top lieutenants, appeared to contrast the social network's business model with businesses like Apple, which make money by selling expensive tech to an "exclusive club."

But after a string on high-profile privacy scandals, the value of your personal information — which is willingly surrendered to Facebook at the point of signup — has become more apparent than ever. It is this data that allows Facebook to sell targeted advertising.
Facebook could be responding to an EU directive about data being a form of payment
"Facebook is not free nor has it ever been," lawyer and digital law expert José Antonio Castillo told Business Insider (he was apparently one of the first to tweet about the change). "Facebook's currency was and still is it's users' personal data. It's never been free, though, because data is worth a lot of money."
As to why Facebook decided to alter its slogan without any warning or explanation, Castillo suspects it could possibly have been spurred by a directive that European Parliament passed in May that, for the first time ever, recognizes that exchanging data is actually a form of payment.

Although Facebook's original slogan was "It's free and it always will be," it's terms and conditions contradict that. In its Platform Policy, Section 7 (Things You Should Know) Clause 11 warns that: "We don't guarantee that Platform will always be free."

Cerebras Debuts Big Chip to Speed Up AI Processes
<https://www.technewsworld.com/edpick/86192.html> Print <https://www.technewsworld.com/perl/mailit/?id=86192> Email
By Jack M. Germain
Aug 20, 2019 2:36 AM PT
Startup chip developer <https://www.cerebras.net/> Cerebras on Monday announced a breakthrough in high-speed processor design that will hasten the development of artificial intelligence technologies.
Cerebras unveiled the largest computer processing chip ever built. The new chip, dubbed "Wafer-Scale Engine" (WSE) -- pronounced "wise" -- is the heartbeat of the company's deep learning machine built to power AI systems.
WSE reverses a chip industry trend of packing more computing power into smaller form-factor chips. Its massive size measures eight and a half inches on each side. By comparison, most chips fit on the tip of your finger and are no bigger than a centimeter per side.
The new chip's surface contains 400,000 little computers, known as "cores," with 1.2 trillion transistors. The largest graphics processing unit (GPU) is 815 mm2 and has 21.1 billion transistors.

The chip already is in use by some customers, and the company is taking orders, a Cerebras spokesperson said in comments provided to TechNewsWorld by company rep Kim Ziesemer.
"Chip size is profoundly important in AI, as big chips process information more quickly, producing answers in less time," the spokesperson noted. The new chip technology took Cerebras three years to develop.
Bigger Is Better to Train AI
Reducing neural networks' time to insight, or training time, allows researchers to test more ideas, use more data and solve new problems. Google, Facebook, OpenAI, Tencent, Baidu and many others have argued that the fundamental limitation of today's AI is that it takes too long to train models, the Cerebras spokesperson explained, noting that "reducing training time thus removes a major bottleneck to industry-wide progress."
Accelerating training using WSE technology enables researchers to train thousands of models in the time it previously took to train a single model. Moreover, WSE enables new and different models.
Those benefits result from the very large universe of trainable algorithms. The subset that works on GPUs is very small. WSE enables the exploration of new and different algorithms.
Training existing models at a fraction of the time and training new models to do previously impossible tasks will change the inference stage of artificial intelligence profoundly, the Cerebras spokesperson said.
Understanding Terminology
To put the anticipated advanced outcomes into perspective, it is essential to understand three concepts about neural networks:
* Training is learning;
* Inference is applying learning to tasks; and
* Inference is using learning to classify.
For example, you first must teach an algorithm what animals look like. This is training. Then you can show it a picture, and it can recognize a hyena. That is inference.
Enabling vastly faster training and new and improved models forever changes inference. Researchers will be able to pack more inference into smaller compute and enable more power-efficient compute to do exceptional inference.
This process is particularly important since most inference is done on machines that use batteries or that are in some other way power-constrained. So better training and new models enable more effective inference to be delivered from phones, GoPros, watches, cameras, cars, security cameras/CCTV, farm equipment, manufacturing equipment, personal digital assistants, hearing aids, water purifiers, and thousands of other devices, according to Cerebras.
The Cerebras Wafer Scale Engine is no doubt a huge feat for the advancement of artificial intelligence technology, noted Chris Jann, CEO of <https://medicusit.com/> Medicus IT].
"This is a strong indicator that we are committed to the advancement of artificial intelligence -- and, as such, AI's presence will continue to increase in our lives," he told TechNewsWorld. "I would expect this industry to continue to grow at an exponential rate as every new AI development continues to increase its demand."
WSE Size Matters
Cerebras' chip is 57 times the size of the leading chip from Nvidia, the "V100," which dominates today's AI. The new chip has more memory circuits than any other chip: 18 gigabytes, which is 3,000 times as much as the Nvidia part, according to Cerebras.
Chip companies long have sought a breakthrough in building a single chip the size of a silicon wafer. Cerebras appears to be the first to succeed with a commercially viable product.
Cerebras received about US$200 million from prominent venture capitalists to seed that accomplishment.
The new chip will spur the reinvention of artificial intelligence, suggested Cerebras CEO Andrew Feldman. It provides the parallel-processing speed that Google and others will need to build neural networks of unprecedented size.
It is hard to say just what kind of impact a company like Cerebras or its chips will have over the long term, said Charles King, principal analyst at <http://www.pund-it.com/> Pund-IT.
"That's partly because their technology is essentially new -- meaning that they have to find willing partners and developers, let alone customers to sign on for the ride," he told TechNewsWorld.
AI's Rapid Expansion
Still, the cloud AI chipset market has been expanding rapidly, and the industry is seeing the emergence of a wide range of use cases powered by various AI models, according to Lian Jye Su, principal analyst at <http://www.abiresearch.com/> ABI Research.
"To address the diversity in use cases, many developers and end-users need to identify their own balance of the cost of infrastructure, power budge, chipset flexibility and scalability, as well as developer ecosystem," he told TechNewsWorld.
In many cases, developers and end users adopt a hybrid approach in determining the right portfolio of cloud AI chipsets. Cerebras WSE is well-positioned to serve that segment, Su noted.
What WSE Offers
The new Cerebras technology addresses the two main challenges in deep learning workloads: computational power and data transmission. Its large silicon size provides more chip memory and processing cores, while its proprietary data communication fabric accelerates data transmission, explained Su.
With WSE, Cerebras Systems can focus on ecosystem building via its Cerebras Software Stack and be a key player in the cloud AI chipset industry, noted Su.
The AI process involves the following:
* Cerebras-built software tools for design; and
* building in redundant circuits to route around defects in silicon manufacturing in order to still deliver 400,000 working optimized cores, like a miniature Internet that keeps going when individual server computers go down;
* moving data in new ways for better training of a neural network that requires thousands of operations to happen in parallel at each moment in time.
The problem the larger WSE chip solves is computers with multiple chips slowing down when sending data between the chips over the slower wires linking them on a circuit board.
The wafers were produced in partnership with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, the world's largest chip manufacturer, but Cerebras has exclusive rights to the intellectual property that makes the process possible.
Available Now But ...
Cerebras will not sell the chip on its own. Instead, the company will package it as part of a computer appliance Cerebras designed.
A complex system of water-cooling -- an irrigation network -- is necessary to counteract the extreme heat the new chip generates running at 15 kilowatts of power.
The Cerebras computer will be 150 times as powerful as a server with multiple Nvidia chips, at a fraction of the power consumption and a fraction of the physical space required in a server rack, Feldman said. That will make neural training tasks that cost tens of thousands of dollars to run in cloud computing facilities an order of magnitude less costly.

Chase Bank, which is part of JPMorgan Chase & Co., closed all their credit card accounts in March 2018 and customers were expected to continue to pay their debt.
That changed on Friday when the company decided to forgive all outstanding balances on either of its two VISA cards as part of their exit following 13 years in the Canadian credit card market, <https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/chase-bank-amazon-visa-marriott-credit-car…> according to the CBC.
<https://www.foxnews.com/world/sky-to-sky-gondola-cable-cut-canada> GONDOLA CABLE CUT IN CANADA, SENDING CARS CRASHING TO THE GROUND IN 'DELIBERATE ACT,' POLICE SAY
"Chase made the decision to exit the Canadian credit card market," said Maria Martinez, vice president of communications for Chase Card Services. "As part of that exit, all credit card accounts were closed on or before March 2018. A further business decision has been made to forgive all outstanding balances in order to complete the exit."
The reactions from customers throughout Canada range from shock, disbelief to joy as people who owed thousands on their credit cards had all that debt wiped away in an instant.
"I was sort of over the moon all last night, with a smile on my face," Douglas Turner of Ontario, who owed more than $4,500 on his card, told the CBC. "I couldn't believe it."
Canadian Paul Adamson, 43, whose debt was also erased, told the CBC he originally thought he missed a payment after hearing his account was closed.
<https://www.foxnews.com/world/canadian-mans-pocketknife-helps-him-survive-g…> CANADIAN MAN'S POCKETKNIFE HELPS HIM SURVIVE GRIZZLY ATTACK
"I'm honestly still flabbergasted about it," he said. "It's [usually] surprise fees, extra complications, things like that, definitely, but not loan forgiveness."
When asked why Chase decided to forgive rather than try and recoup owed money, Martinez said that the company, “felt it was a better decision for all parties, particularly our customers, to forgive the debt."
The company wouldn't elaborate on how much debt was outstanding or how many customers had signed up for their cards.

Pošto volite vesti o Musk-u, možda može i ovo...
https://www.inverse.com/article/58602-where-is-starman-elon-musk-teases-spac
ex-mission-to-catch-up-with-roadster
Starman, SpaceX's dummy touring the solar system, could soon get a visitor.
Elon Musk, CEO of the space-faring firm, stated on Twitter Sunday that the
company could launch a small spacecraft to catch up with Starman and take
some photos " <https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1163015575699779584> in a
few years." Musk, who regularly gives a virtual thumbs-up to fan ideas that
eventually emerge as full-fledged projects, did not offer any more
suggestions about how the mission could work.
Hours later, "Starman" completed his first full orbit around the sun, 18
months after first launching from Earth. Quite what state the dummy is in is
unknown, whether it's touring Mars in the red Tesla Roadster in near-perfect
condition or if it's taken a turn for the worse. Musk's mission could lift
the lid on one of the most bizarre launches undertaken by SpaceX.
