[^]Quote: An “infrasound haptic” flooring system will carry bass sounds through the floor, allowing guests to experience the music under their feet.
A “beamformed” sound system will deliver remarkably clear acoustics, thanks to thousands of tiny speakers embedded in the building’s walls.
Technicians will be able to capture and present super-resolution video with a specially designed camera system that captures and stitches together 360-degree-by-360-degree footage at 2 gigabytes per second.
More than 200 resort executives and entertainment specialists got their first immersion into the audio and visual world of MSG Sphere at an invitation-only demonstration Friday at the Las Vegas Sands Corp. hangar at McCarran International Airport.
Madison Square Garden’s planned MSG Sphere will be a 360-feet-tall and 500-feet-wide concert venue

I could say something about how this will enhance Las Vegas' other revenue stream (not gambling, not drive through marriage chapels.)

BillWoodruff quoted: MSG Sphere will be a 360-feet-tall and 500-feet-wide concert venue
When I went o school, a sphere had to be the same height as its width. But I suppose 'The MSG Ovoid' would not sound as good as you might think it is an egg enhanced by monosodium glutamate.

My guess is that "MSG Spherical Cap" just doesn't sound as catchy.

Paleotronic was lucky enough to be given the chance to have a chat with Apple co-founder and engineer-extraordinare Steve Wozniak, who gave us a personal look into the development of the Disk II. Popping around to the shop for a thumb drive too easy?
My eyes hurt after reading that page.

There's no doubt that Woz is a brilliant engineer, but the interview was unreadable. Haven't the publishers of Paleotronic heard of editors? Or have English skills in America deteriorated to such a level that they can't recognize that the interview needs editing for clarity?

Google’s unofficial motto has long been the simple phrase “don’t be evil.” But that’s over, according to the code of conduct that Google distributes to its employees. "You're semi-evil. You're quasi-evil."

OMG! They've replaced a waffly middle paragraph with a more readable summary of it at the end of the document!
In the post-truth world, I guess this passes for hot news.

I assumed that had gone a long time ago. But with undertaking work with military applications, they've seem to have removed the word "don't".

The most sophisticated software in history was written by a team of people whose names we do not know. It even knows which spoon to use for the salad course

What the article doesn't mention: We might not know the names of the people who have written it, but what we do know is the obvious purpose of this piece of software, and so it's pretty easy to make an educated guess about its origin: Since it was targeting centrifuges for purifying uranium in Iran, it has to be some military or intelligence (or both) organization within the USA. I mean, their interests are quite clear if you look at their geopolitical and geostratgic decisions (or escalations) in the past about twenty years. And they surely have the kind of unlimited resources (in money etc.) to plan and develop such a thing. So changes are pretty high that the name of the author is either NSA or CIA.

A group of iOS app developers concerned with Apple’s App Store policies has formed The Developers Union, an advocacy group that will push the company for “community-driven, developer-friendly changes.” That should lead to some Justice and Tranquility

Though a comparatively minor release, C# 7.3 addresses some long outstanding complaints from C# 1 and 2. Or as the Windows team would have called it: C# 2017 Service Pack 3 Build 62122 Oscillating Ostrich (OK, that last bit might be Ubuntu)
Good to see they're still fixing stuff from 1.0

The demo involved a new AI assistant making phone calls to two businesses — a hairdresser and a restaurant — to make an appointment and book a reservation, respectively. Uhm, they uh, would never, ah, do anything like that, would they?
I'm surprised there wasn't confusion over, "12pm" as an appointment request.

We’re releasing an analysis showing that since 2012, the amount of compute used in the largest AI training runs has been increasing exponentially with a 3.5 month-doubling time. "Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate."
Sorry, had to re-use that one.
