• Silent Hill f is Coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC; New Details Revealed
    gamingbolt.com
    Over two years since its announcement, Konamis Silent Hill f has received new details in the latest Silent Hill Transmission. Its coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, and though theres no release date, a new trailer is available. Check it out below.Developed by NeoBards Entertainment and written by Ryukishi07, the story follows Shimizu Hinako in the fictional town of Ebisugaoka in 1960s Japan. Though cheerful while growing up, she now struggles with the pressure of expectations from her friends, family, and society. When a telltale fog rolls into town, Hinako suddenly discovers everyone shes known to have gone missing and horrifying monstrosities lurking everywhere.Though there is some combat as dictated by a metal pipe she carries around Silent Hill f will also have puzzles. It also seems like Hinako will have to choose between elegance and beauty or embarking on a path towards madness and horror.As such, Konami is warning of heavy themes, including depictions of gender discrimination, child abuse, bullying, drug-induced hallucinations, torture, and graphic violence. It also depicts the customs and culture of the 1960s, which do not reflect the opinions or values of the developers or any individuals involved. Stay tuned for more updates in the meantime.

  • Wikipedia picture of the day for March 14
    en.wikipedia.org
    Amlie of Leuchtenberg (18121873) was a French noblewoman and Empress of Brazil as the wife of Emperor PedroI. She was the fourth child of Eugne de Beauharnais and his wife Princess Augusta of Bavaria. After the defeat of Napoleon in 1814, her father, having been granted the title of Duke of Leuchtenberg by his father-in-law, settled in Munich. When Pedro's first wife, Maria Leopoldina of Austria, died in 1826, he sent an ambassador to Europe to find him a second. Pedro's relatively poor reputation in Europe led to several refusals by princesses, and his union with Amlie resulted from a lowering of his strict conditions. They were married in 1829 and she moved to Brazil to be presented in court. Her husband abdicated the throne in 1831 and the couple returned to Europe. Their daughter Maria Amlia was born shortly after. Pedro died in 1834 and Amlie did not remarry, living the rest of her life in Portugal. This oil-on-canvas portrait of Amlie, produced in the 1830s by the German painter Friedrich Drck, is now in the Soares dos Reis National Museum in Porto, Portugal.Painting credit: Friedrich DrckRecently featured: St. Paraskevi ChurchMauritius kestrelEero SaarinenArchiveMore featured pictures

  • Google DeepMinds Gemini Robotics: Unleashing Embodied AI with Zero-Shot Control and Enhanced Spatial Reasoning
    www.marktechpost.com
    Google DeepMind has shattered conventional boundaries in robotics AI with the unveiling of Gemini Robotics, a suite of models built upon the formidable foundation of Gemini 2.0. This isnt just an incremental upgrade; its a paradigm shift, propelling AI from the digital realm into the tangible world with unprecedented embodied reasoning capabilities.Gemini Robotics: Bridging the Gap Between Digital Intelligence and Physical ActionAt the heart of this innovation lies Gemini Robotics, an advanced vision-language-action (VLA) model that transcends traditional AI limitations. By introducing physical actions as a direct output modality, Gemini Robotics empowers robots to autonomously execute tasks with a level of understanding and adaptability previously unattainable. Complementing this is Gemini Robotics-ER (Embodied Reasoning), a specialized model engineered to refine spatial understanding, enabling roboticists to seamlessly integrate Geminis cognitive prowess into existing robotic architectures.These models herald a new era of robotics, promising to unlock a diverse spectrum of real-world applications. Google DeepMinds strategic partnerships with industry leaders like Apptronik, for the integration of Gemini 2.0 into humanoid robots, and collaborations with trusted testers, underscore the transformative potential of this technology.Key Technological Advancements:Unparalleled Generality: Gemini Robotics leverages Geminis robust world model to generalize across novel scenarios, achieving superior performance on rigorous generalization benchmarks compared to state-of-the-art VLA models.Intuitive Interactivity: Built on Gemini 2.0s language understanding, the model facilitates fluid human-robot interaction through natural language commands, dynamically adapting to environmental changes and user input.Advanced Dexterity: The model demonstrates remarkable dexterity, executing complex manipulation tasks like origami folding and intricate object handling, showcasing a significant leap in robotic fine motor control.Versatile Embodiment: Gemini Robotics adaptability extends to various robotic platforms, from bi-arm systems like ALOHA 2 and Franka arms to advanced humanoid robots like Apptroniks Apollo.Gemini Robotics-ER: Pioneering Spatial IntelligenceGemini Robotics-ER elevates spatial reasoning, a critical component for effective robotic operation. By enhancing capabilities such as pointing, 3D object detection, and spatial understanding, this model enables robots to perform tasks with heightened precision and efficiency.Gemini 2.0: Enabling Zero and Few-Shot Robot ControlA defining feature of Gemini 2.0 is its ability to facilitate zero and few-shot robot control. This eliminates the need for extensive robot action data training, enabling robots to perform complex tasks out of the box. By uniting perception, state estimation, spatial reasoning, planning, and control within a single model, Gemini 2.0 surpasses previous multi-model approaches.Zero-Shot Control via Code Generation: Gemini Robotics-ER leverages its code generation capabilities and embodied reasoning to control robots using API commands, reacting and replanning as needed. The models enhanced embodied understanding results in a near 2x improvement in task completion compared to Gemini 2.0.Few-Shot Control via In-Context Learning (ICL): By conditioning the model on a small number of demonstrations, Gemini Robotics-ER can quickly adapt to new behaviors.Below is the perception and control APIs, and agentic orchestration during an episode. This system is used for zero-shot control:Commitment to SafetyGoogle DeepMind prioritizes safety through a multi-layered approach, addressing concerns from low-level motor control to high-level semantic understanding. The integration of Gemini Robotics-ER with existing safety-critical controllers and the development of mechanisms to prevent unsafe actions underscore this commitment.The release of the ASIMOV dataset and the framework for generating data-driven Robot Constitutions further demonstrates Google DeepMinds dedication to advancing robotics safety research.Intelligent robots are getting closerCheck out full Gemini Robotics report and Gemini Robotics.

  • AU Deals: The Absolute Must Buys From the Steam Spring Sale, AAA Console Greats Reduced, and More!
    www.ign.com
    Thank your own personal deitypossibly Kratosits Friday! Even though its Autumn for Aussies, its time to spring into ludicrous Spring Sale savings on Steam. If the picks of that litter dont interest you, Ive sniffed out console-based bargains on grand adventures, pulse-pounding action, or quirky indie gems; theres a little something for everyone.This Day in Gaming In retro news, I'm (somehow) celebrating the 23rd birthday of the OG Xbox, a console that blew my mind at launch (even though I was happily married to a PS2). This was the chunky vehicle that brought Microsoft into the console gaming world. And while it didn't have the prettiest design or the greatest library of games, it gave us two important contributions to gaming: Halo and Xbox Live.While some N64 enthusiasts may argue that GoldenEye paved the way for quality console first-person shooters, it was Halo that revolutionised the genre. Almost every FPS that came after Halo utilised its control scheme and a modified version of its health system. But where Halo truly succeeded was in providing console gamers with the first-of-its-kind 16-player LAN battles. This was the first shooter that made my PC gaming mates jealous, and I still own and adore my Limited Edition Crystal Xbox. Even though ants once tried to take it over and turn it into a very expensive vivarium.Two notes: yes "The Duke" controller felt that big. But no, it had a longer cable.Aussie bdays for notable games- Mortal Kombat Trilogy (N64) 1997.

  • iPhone 16e users have been experiencing issues with Bluetooth audio
    9to5mac.com
    Its been two weeks since the iPhone 16e arrived in stores and in the hands of early adopters. Unfortunately, some of them have been experiencing issues with Bluetooth audio, especially when using wireless headphones. At least based on multiple reports from iPhone 16e owners.As noted by MacRumors, multiple reports shared on the Apple Support Community, Reddit, and X suggest that theres a widespread issue affecting Bluetooth audio on the iPhone 16e. More specifically, users mention that the audio being played back via Bluetooth cuts out periodically. According to these users, the problem doesnt seem to affect other iPhone models connected to the same headphone or Bluetooth speaker.I just upgraded to the 16e from the 13 mini and any Bluetooth device keeps hitching. The sound pauses for a second then picks back up, a user said on the web. I bought a 16e two days ago and was having I guess stuttering issues on Bluetooth? Its brief, with music stoping and starting up again very quickly, another user wrote.One of the affected users returned their iPhone to Apple, and it was replaced without question but according to the person, the replacement unit has the same problem. Apple is yet to acknowledge the issue and whether its working on a fix.In addition to the A18 chip and 48-megapixel camera, the iPhone 16e has a 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, and a USB-C port. The new iPhone also features Apples first custom 5G modem for better energy efficiency.iPhone 16e starts at $599 for the 128GB version. Alternatively,you can buy other iPhone models at a discount.Gadgets I recommendAdd 9to5Mac to your Google News feed. FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.

  • RFK Jr. Suggests That Everyone Just Catch Measles
    futurism.com
    Image by Win McNamee via Getty / FuturismThe anti-vaxxer in charge of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is now suggesting that the best way to not get measles is... getting measles?If you're lost, us too. During an interview with Fox News, HHS secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. insisted that getting the infectious disease was "normal" when he was a kid before claiming that being exposed to the virus provides longer-lasting immunity than inoculation."It used to be, when you and I were kids, that everybody got measles. And the measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection," said the brain-wormed blue blood. "The vaccine doesnt do that. The vaccine is effective for some people for life, but for many people it wanes."While there's some research suggesting that "natural" immunity gleaned through measles infection can provide longer-lasting protective effects than immunization with the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, studies have also shown that unvaccinated children who contract the virus are more likely toend up with weakened immune systems overall. In short, getting measles without being vaccinated against it can make a child sicker down the line and that's if it doesn't kill them first.Though the HHS head did offer tempered support for MMR vaccination a few weeks ago in aFox News op-ed penned in the wake of the first measles death in the United States in a decade amid the growing outbreak around the country, he's also walked it back repeatedly since. In yet anotherFox interview, Kennedy suggested that cod liver oil has provided "very, very good results" for people infected with measles, and said that he directed doses of Vitamin A to be sent to Gaines County, the West Texas region where the outbreak began.This latest exchange which,by the way, took place inside a Steak 'n Shake burger chain in Florida where workers "RFK'ed" their fries by switching from vegetable oil to beef tallow to appease the anti-pharma health nut is clearly in the latter camp."There are adverse events from the vaccine," Kennedy said. "It does cause deaths every year. It causes all the illnesses that measles itself cause, like encephalitis and blindness, etc., so people ought to be able to make that choice for themselves."Regardless of what our boneheaded HHS secretary claims, cases of encephalitis apotentially life-threatening brain swelling disorder generally caused by West Nile virus, untreated herpes simplex, or measles itself linked to vaccination are vanishingly rare. As the nonprofit Encephalitis International organization notes, only about one or two out of every million children who receive an MMR vaccine will develop the disorder, while between one and three in 1,000 children who get measles will end up getting it.While each state has its own laws requiring what vaccines children must get to attend school, most have exemptions for medical, philosophical, or religious reasons. To that end, Kennedy is correct to say that people can and should make the choice whether to get vaccinated but with numbers like that, the odds are clearly in favor of the jabs.Share This Article
