Encryption.
The return of the “one time pad.” Security depends on a unique
cypher for each short message. Use any key too long and the
message can be cracked.
New
"uncrackable" security system may make your VPN obsolete
Researchers
at the University of St Andrews, King Abdullah University of Sciences
and Technology (KAUST) and the Center for Unconventional Processes of
Sciences (CUP Sciences) have developed a new uncrackable security
system which is set to revolutionize communications privacy.
The
international team of scientists have created optical chips that
allow for information to be sent from one user to another using a
one-time unhackable communication that is able to achieve 'perfect
secrecy' since confidential data can now be protected more securely
than ever before.
The
researchers' proposed system uses silicon chips that contain complex
structures that are irreversibly
changed in order to send information in a one-time key
that can't be recreated or intercepted by an attacker.
A
name I haven’t heard in twenty years.
Meet
the Mad Scientist Who Wrote the Book on How to Hunt Hackers
Thirty
years ago, Cliff Stoll published The Cuckoo's Egg, a book about his
cat-and-mouse game with a KGB-sponsored hacker. Today, the internet
is a far darker place—and Stoll has become a cybersecurity icon.
Next,
let’s analyze politicians!
Artificial
intelligence as behavioral analyst
… "To understand how the brain generates
behavior, we need to know the "syllables," the building
blocks of the behavior." Aided by artificial intelligence,
Mearns and his colleagues from the Max Planck Institute of
Neurobiology have broken down the hunting behavior of larval
zebrafish into its basic building blocks. They show how these
building blocks combine to form longer sequences.
… Catching prey is such an innate behavioral
sequence, fine-tuned by experience. However, how do neuronal
circuits steer and combine the components of this behavior in order
to lead to a successful prey capture?
The neurobiologists from the Baier department
developed a high-tech assay to investigate the details of the fish
behavior. High-speed cameras recorded eye, tail and jaw movements of
the fish while the animals roamed freely in a small bowl. Specially
designed computer algorithms then evaluated the recorded images and
assigned them to a computer-learned behavioral component. The
results of thousands of fish movements revealed three components of
the prey capture behavior: orientation, approach and capture.
In case you wondered.
How
Artificial Intelligence Is Totally Changing Everything
Back
in Oct. 1950, British techno-visionary Alan
Turing published
an article called "Computing
Machinery and Intelligence,"
in the journal MIND that raised what at the time must have seemed to
many like a science-fiction
fantasy.
"May
not machines carry out something which ought to be described as
thinking but which is very different from what a man does?"
Turing asked.
… How
Artificial Intelligence Works
"AI
is a family of technologies that perform tasks that are thought to
require intelligence if performed by humans," explains Vasant
Honavar, a professor and director of the Artificial Intelligence
Research Laboratory at Penn State University, in an email interview.
"I say 'thought,' because nobody is really quite sure what
intelligence is."
… AI
works by combining large amounts of data with intelligent
algorithms —
series of instructions — that allow the software to learn from
patterns and features of the data, as this SAS
primer
on
artificial intelligence explains.

The
Highest-Paid YouTube Stars of 2019: The Kids Are Killing It
Anastasia
Radzinskaya is an unlikely media star. Born in southern Russia with
cerebral palsy, her doctors feared she would never be able to speak.
To document her development through treatments, her parents posted
videos of
her on YouTube so friends and relatives could see the progress.
The
videos are typical kid stuff: playdates with dad, jumping
around on
an inflatable castle
and
playing
with her cat,
each video accompanied by catchy jingles and voice-over giggles. She
soon gained followers around the world. Her biggest
hit was
a 2018 trip to the petting zoo with her father Yuri that featured the
two dancing to child favorite “Baby Shark,” milking a pretend cow
and eating ice cream. That video has garnered 767 million views, the
top draw for a growing media business that has funneled $18 million
to the Radzinskayas between June 1, 2018, and June 1, 2019.
Anastasia,
who goes by “Nastya,” now has 107 million subscribers across her
seven channels who have watched
her videos 42 billion times.
She is No. 3 on the Forbes
Top-Earning
YouTube Stars ranking for 2019, which tallies pretax income collected
from advertisements, sponsored content, merchandise sales, tours and
more.
