The creation and development of a robust neural network is a labor-intensive and time consuming endeavor. That’s why a team of IBM researchers recently developed a way for AI developers to protect their intellectual property. Much like digital watermarking, it embeds information into a network than can then be triggered for identification purposes. If you’ve spent hundreds of hours developing and training AI models, and someone decides to exploit your hard work, IBM’s new technique will allow you to prove that the models are yours. IBM’s method involves embedding specific information within deep learning models and then detecting them by…

I’ve always thought fitness trackers are dumb. Often, they look cheap, tacky, and cheesy. In fact, they remind me more of those weird plastic bracelets kids were obsessed with in the 2000s than breathtaking pieces of tech. You know the ones I’m talking about: Well, I might have to backtrack on the mean things I said, because Motiv has released a fitness tracker that I, uh, you know, kinda actually like? Traitor. Bear with me here. What separates this fitness tracker from others is simple: it’s a ring. In it, Motiv jammed a step counter, a heart rate monitor, and a…

There are loads of charging cables that claim to be extremely durable. I can confirm that Anchor’s $39 offering walks the talk, and it even lets you swap connectors so you can plug it into anything. But there’s one niggle that’s keeping me from using it regularly: the magnets. Let me explain. This cable has a solid steel casing, plugs into USB-A ports at one end, and lets you quickly switch between magnetic microUSB, Lightning, and USB-C connectors on the other end, on a whim. It’s well crafted, with beautifully finished metal on the jacks and casing. The neodymium magnets…
