Apple has a very clear option not to be left behind in AI: Buy Anthropic

by

The recent association between Apple and Anthropic to develop a platform of “Vibe-Coding“, as he said Bloomberg, It could be much more than a simple technological collaboration. It is the first act of what should become a much deeper union: a complete acquisition. Apple is at a historic crossroads in the AI ​​race. Your association with Anthropic to integrate Claude Sonnet In Xcode it is an implicit admission that its internal development of AI does not advance with the necessary speed. Swift Assist, announced but never releasedIt remained as a symbol of Apple’s difficulties to compete in this field alone. While OpenAi, Google and Anthropic advance by leaps and bounds, Apple runs the risk of being relegated in the largest technological revolution since the smartphone. And that risk is growing. The acquisition of Anthropic would be a tectonic movement for both companies. For Apple, it would mean ensuring one of the most sophisticated language models in the market, particularly highlighted in programming tasks. For Anthropic, he would represent the support of one of the technological giants with the greatest financial capacity and global distribution. The combination of Excellence in Apple hardware and integration with the avant -garde in Anthropic (whose product quality is far ahead of its distribution capacity) would create a difficult synergy to match. Historically, Apple has prospered when you have acquired key technologies at key momentsintegrating them deeply into their ecosystem. The purchase of PA SEMI in 2008 laid the foundations for Apple Silicon chips. The Beats acquisition It was not only for the headphones, but by the streaming technology that would become Apple Music. Now, AI represents another turning point, where staying halfway between their own developments and external alliances would lead to a permanent disadvantage position. The price of acquiring Anthropic would be great, probably in the range of tens of billions, a magnitude in which Apple has never moved, used to much smaller purchases. But he has not done so does not mean that he cannot do it: he has more than 150,000 million in cash and would be a key strategic investment. It is not only a matter of acquiring technology, but of ensuring the future of its entire platform. While Tim Cook speaks of a hybrid approach with “certain own models”, the truth is that the real power will be in those who possess the best fundamental models. For Apple, Anthropic should not be only a temporary partner, but a permanent piece of his vision for the future of computer science.

Some Amazon made in the US hid a fantastic option for privacy. Alexa +’s arrival will disappear

by

In recent times Amazon launched three models of his family with an interesting option that yes, was only available in the US and in English: local processing of voice recordings. That prevented users from They had to send those recordings to the Amazon cloud and supposed an interesting improvement in privacy. That option will soon stop being available. Less privacy. The products that allowed this feature, explain In The Vergeit was the Echo Dot (4th generation), echo show 10, and echo show 15. As of March 28, those devices of the Amazon Echo family will stop being able to process the audio locally on the device itself. Thus, all audio clips will end up transferred to their servers to be processed in their cloud infrastructure. AI as an excuse. In Ars Technica They indicate how Amazon has explained in an email to this publication that the change is due to the new use of AI models in Alexa+. Specifically, they assure, By continuing to expand Alexa’s capabilities with generative functions that depend on the processing power of the safe cloud of Amazon, we have decided to stop supporting this function. Alexa+ in sight. After this decision is the launch of Alexa+the new version of this voice assistant that will now be enhanced by AI models. To process these models, however, the power of the Amazon cloud is needed, which according to the company makes it impossible for requests to be processed at home as happened so far. Voice recognition. The new AI system that will govern these devices will also have more advanced options to recognize the voice of who is using it and thus be able to respond more precisely and contextually, something that the company calls Voice ID. This characteristic forces Amazon to eliminate the privacy function that was present before, although very limitedly: it is likely that many users of these models did not even know that such privacy characteristic was available. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to in your echo. Users of these devices will not be able to avoid this sending of audio clips even if Alexa+will not use: Amazon will also send those audios even if they do not use said service with ia. The Alexa+ service based on AI models will be included in the Amazon Prime subscription. Another condemnation for privacy. Apart from that special option, the Amazon Echo family devices allow to control certain privacy options like him time that the recordings were stored If they reach their servers. Controversies of the past. In April 2019 it was revealed how Amazon employees listened recordings with the excuse of improving the service. That made The controversy will jump And in fact they already had problems with the suspicion about privacy When Alexa began to be available in Spanish. Amazon promises to protect that data. In that email to Ars Technica Amazon also assured that “Alexa’s voice requests are always sent to the Amazon security cloud, which was designed with security protection layers to keep customer information safe.” They also point out that there will still be various controls to refine that way of managing user data.

Spotify prepares a new subscription option, according to Bloomberg. Music Pro will come true the ancient Hifi audio promise

by

It seems that this time is serious. Spotify could be closer to comply His former promise to offer higher quality audio to its users. Bloomberg points out that the Swedish firm is preparing a subscription option called Music Pro that will include this and other improvements for those who seek an experience a step beyond Premium.

At this time it is not clear if the supposed novelties will expand to other markets, including the European Union. Good news for audiophiles In the best case, paying a subscription and listening through the application, Spotify offers sound in AAC format with a quality equivalent to 320 kbps. Taking into account that the loss -less audio bits rate begins around 1,411 kbps, this shows how compressed are Spotify files. And while the service created by Daniel EK has the largest number of planet users, several less popular alternatives offer higher quality audio. There are Apple Music, Amazon Music HD or Tidal, who have been betting on this ideal possibility for audiophiles for a long time. Spotify will seek to make a difference with its new proposal. In addition to offering better quality audio, streaming service will allow subscribers to mix songs by different artists. For this characteristic it will use artificial intelligence, but it will not be the only thing. The additional payment of $ 5.99 The door will open to buy tickets for pre -sale concerts or access better seats. In any case, there is no official confirmation, so we will have to wait to know if this will end up materializing. Even having an official confirmation the ideal would be to wait. In its 2021 Stream On event, Spotify announced with bombs and dishes that would offer “Music with CDs without losses” at the end of that year. Four years have passed since that announcement, and not only the promise is still not fulfilled, but the video in which Billie Eilish participated, which was originally on YouTube, It has disappeared (Now it is private). In addition, la page with more details also It has been eliminated. Over time we will know what will really happen.

Enriched milk: the best option for people over 65 years of age

by

Milk enriched with the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) and foods that contain it can help people over 65 years of age to improve your cognitive abilities, including short-term memory. Reaching old age involves changes in the body that include neuronal wear and tear that has consequences such as diseases, memory loss, Alzheimer’s and senile dementia.A balanced diet, which, according to studies, includes foods rich in MFGM, can help recover the ability to remember recent experiences. Benefits of MFGM for cognitive health A study of the Department of Psychological Medicine at the University of Auckland in New Zealand reveals that The milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) contains “bioactive proteins, carbohydrates and lipids.”vital to improving mental health in three key stages of human life, that is, childhood, adulthood and old age. The study published by the specialized magazine Food indicates that MFGM compounds “play a fundamental role in maintaining the integrity of the cell membrane and the capacity for neuronal signaling, which promotes brain health.” MFGM and its phospholipid components can ““Improve mental health by reducing neuroinflammation and promoting the synthesis of neurotransmitters through the gut-brain axis.” Based on tests conducted by researchers on age-related cognitive decline, MFGM helps reduce the negative consequences of situational stress, improve brain health in old age, and reduce depressive symptoms. Other Oxford research reveals that sweet whey, the co-product of butter manufacturing, is rich in bioactive components of MFGM. How does MFGM help cognitive health? Fortified milk improves cognitive abilities in older adults.Credit: Shutterstock A study published by the “Food Sciences Research Institute (CIAL, CSIC-UAM)” found that MFGM-enriched milk improves episodic memory in people over 65 years of age and prevents mild cognitive impairmentquotes El Cronista. Milk with MFGM is rich in sphingolipids, ospholipids, and glycoproteins and other compounds that, as we already mentioned, are key to improving brain functions. These three components play important roles in brain health. For example, the main lipids in cell membranes are phospholipids, which contribute to strengthening the nervous system. While phosphatidylserine improves depression, stress and Alzheimer’s and sphingolipids promotes memory and brain health. Specialists recommend including this type of milk in the diet to prevent mental deterioration and improve the cognitive health of adults. Keep reading:
