The market researcher highlighted a number of factors that could help BYD become the world’s premier BEV maker this year. These include the company’s…
Stay up to date with everything that is happening in the wonderful world of AM via our LinkedIn community.A research team from MIT’s Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has developed a new software tool that makes it easier to design and make cable-driven 3D printed objects. The tool, called Xstrings, can be used to produce a variety of products with embedded actuation, from robotic hands with gripping capabilities to interactive sculptures with animal-like movement.Cable-driven mechanisms are frequently used by engineers to create components that can move fluidly like a human or animal. This movement is generated by pulling…
Microsoft celebrates its 50th anniversary. This article was written using Microsoft Word on a computer running Microsoft Windows. It is likely to be published on platforms hosted by Microsoft Azure, including LinkedIn, a Microsoft subsidiary with over one billion users. In 2024, the company generated a net profit of $88 billion from sales worth $245 billion. Its stock market value is close to $3,000 billion, making it the world’s second-most valuable company behind Apple and almost on a par with NVidia. Cumulative profits since 2002 are approaching $640 billion. And yet, 50 years ago, Microsoft was just a tiny computer company founded in Albuquerque, New…
Tesla bull Wedbush has responded to the company’s lackluster Q1 delivery figures, which were released on Wednesday morning in a new note from analyst Dan Ives. Tesla reported deliveries of 336,681 vehicles in the first quarter of the year, a far cry from the Wall Street estimate of 352,000 and whisper numbers of roughly 350,000. At first glance, it seems to be a disaster, but Tesla said it lost “several weeks of production” in Q1 due to the ramp of the new Model Y at all four of its vehicle production factories. Tesla (TSLA) reports 336,681 vehicle deliveries for Q1…
The MIT Bitcoin Club—a passionate coalition of students, alumni, researchers, and community members—presents the 12th annual MIT Bitcoin Expo (April 5–6, 2025), a landmark event exploring how Bitcoin and freedom technologies empower individuals worldwide. With just 5 days remaining, this student-led initiative continues its decade-long tradition of bridging academia, activism, and technical innovation.Why This Matters Born from MIT’s 2014 Bitcoin Project—which distributed Bitcoin to undergraduates to study adoption—the expo has evolved into a critical forum for sovereignty-focused dialogue. This year’s agenda of freedom tech focuses on physical liberation through technology. Speakers like Zimbabwean activist Evan Mawarire (#ThisFlag movement leader) and…
Fra Dana, ‘On the Window Seat,’ oil on canvas.Montana Museum of Art & Culture, University of Montana Settlement of the American West by European colonizers was a violent affair as all such incursions into indigenous land across the world have been. Genocide, stolen land, broken treaties, introduced disease, warfare, massacre, extermination of wildlife. Colt’s ‘Peacemaker’ revolver. Winchester’s repeating rifle. Sharp’s .50 caliber buffalo killer. Dynamite. Steel jawed animal leg traps. Barbed wire. Railroads. Indentured labor–cowboys weren’t unionized, neither were the thousands of Chinese immigrants who toiled and died constructing the railroads. That is how the West was won. How the…
Name the hot buttons about generative artificial intelligence, and they often center around data. Here’s just one example. A recent survey of more than 300 risk and compliance professionals on AI by risk management firm Riskonnect revealed top concerns over data privacy and cyber issues. It was followed closely by employee decisions based on erroneous information, and with it, employee misuse and ethical risks. And then there were copyright and intellectual property risks. Similar conclusions have come from KPMG, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, PricewaterhouseCoopers and others. That’s why we forecast that this year, AI would drive a Renaissance for Data. As…
By Max A. Cherney and Stephen NellisSAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Artificial intelligence group MLCommons unveiled two new benchmarks that it said can help determine how quickly top-of-the-line hardware and software can run AI applications.Since the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT over two years ago, chip companies have begun to shift their focus to making hardware that can efficiently run the code that allows millions of people to use AI tools. As the underlying models must respond to many more queries to power AI applications such as chatbots and search engines, MLCommons developed two new versions of its MLPerf benchmarks to gauge…
A Tesla vandal in Bloomington, Minnesota, caused $3,200 in damages to a car after keying it. However, the local police department, as well as the owner of the Tesla, let her off the hook. As a Tesla sat in the parking lot of a Cub Foods grocery store, it was damaged in an act of vandalism that we are unfortunately seeing all too frequently. Police managed to locate the woman responsible for the damage, aiming to hold her responsible for the scrapes she applied to the vehicle. However, in an act that many might not be able to perform, the…
Image: seventyfourimages/Envato Elements The EU is pouring €1.3 billion ($1.4 billion) over the next two years to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence technologies. The funding will support the development and testing of “immersive environments” to apply in healthcare for purposes like training and virtual patient assessments. The investment will also support the implementation of the AI Act, which ensures all AI systems developed and used in the EU are done so safely and responsibly. Additionally, it will help build energy-efficient digital public digital infrastructure, including electric vehicle charging ports. Many of the generative AI models powering these initiatives will…
