"Solar" Energy at Night

quote [ We experimentally demonstrate electric power generation from the coldness of the universe directly, using the negative illumination effect when an infrared semiconductor diode faces the sky. The results here point to a pathway towards night-time power generation. ]

Power generation from the darkness of the night sky. Only 4 watts per square meter, but interesting.

Nvidia AI turns sketches into photorealistic landscapes

quote [ Today at Nvidia GTC 2019, the company unveiled a stunning image creator. Using generative adversarial networks, users of the software are with just a few clicks able to sketch images that are nearly photorealistic. ]

AI is getting crazy. This generates landscape photos from a simple sketch. It's constrained on what you can input, but still impressive.

Ink cartridge refills now legal

quote [ The Supreme Court's ruling on ink cartridges today is being hailed as a win for consumers in general. ]

The supreme court has been taking on some IP issues lately and surprisingly siding against established business. First was preventing plaintiffs from filing in friendly jurisdictions (Texas), now this. All they have to do now is to invalidate software patents all together.

Gravity polarity? Antigravity? Weird stuff.

Google's neural networks invent their own encryption

quote [ In their experiment, computers were able to make their own form of encryption using machine learning, without being taught specific cryptographic algorithms. The encryption was very basic, especially compared to our current human-designed systems. ]
