The researchers of the project ViZDoom throw the challenge: to build a controller (in C ++, Python or Java) for the historic FPS Doom able to address other bots using machine learning algorithms in the course of the Visual AI Doom deathmatch Competition tournament. VizDoom is an artificial intelligence research platform based on Doom to deepen the techniques of visual learning and the so-called "reinforcement learning" used to "educate" the machine allowing it to independently develop their own behavioral strategy, determined by a succession of trial and mistakes. Use bots to play Doom may not seem like a novelty, bots Doom controlled by the PC have faced for years human gamers. The challenge, however, lies within the limits placed by the researchers: the controller can only access the information in the video buffer, while it will be denied access to any other information, such as those relating to the map, the arms and the position of the other players . The P...

Dropbox has announced that he planned end of support on Windows XP in the next summer. An operation will be gradual and not sudden: from June 26 the desktop application for Windows XP will no longer be available for download on the official website, and from that date it will be possible to register a new account by systems running Windows XP. If the user has already logged-in on the service, the access will be maintained until 29 August.

Windows XP was released in 2001, and after nearly 15 years is still used on a considerable number of personal computers, both for private individuals and companies. This does not mean that it is a secure operating system, as Microsoft itself has now ceased all support for two years. Dropbox is forced to abandon XP for reasons of versatility. The company is preparing additional features to improve the ...

The next step of the Menlo Park company will probably be the introduction of video-group calls, where the social network already...

Computer scientists who delight in a small logic board that caters to hobbyists do-it-yourselfer can not not know Arduino, and inventors and can be used in the most varied uses. The idea was born by Italy Arduino Smart Projects, however, they were quickly disseminated several clones thanks to the open source license under which the project was launched. Among these we find the new AAduino, clone that contains the logic board in the size of an AA battery. Arduino was built in very small projects, however, the new project of Johan Kanflo goes further towards more extreme shores. Based on Tiny328 project Kanflo has managed to achieve the smallest Arduino board that we remember today, able to occupy the same area of ​​an AA battery. Through a specific cabling system is able to insert the card into a container along with two AA batteries that can power it. To increase as much as possible the autonomy Kanflo has been forced to run a lightweight downclock embedded processor on the logic b...

Google Chrome has just crossed the finish line of the 50 version, released last week, and to celebrate the important result, the home of Mountain View has updated the statistical distribution of the popular solution for web browsing with an official statement. The first point made by the company covers the important results achieved in the mobile sector, supporting a trend that is becoming more and more evident in the field, ie the growing number of users who are using mobile devices as a substitute for traditional PCs to determine web browsing activities. A number sums up sufficiently eloquent milestones cut by Google: amounted to 1 billion people using each month the Chrome browser on the mobile platform. A goal achieved thanks to the spread of the Android operating system that supports Chrome natively. The statistics of Google Chrome extend including other data to satisfy the curiosity of lovers of numbers. The number of pages loaded in Chrome each month amounted to 771 billion,...

Browsing mode VPN (Virtual Private Network) is especially appreciated by users who care about the issues of privacy and protection of personal data, but also by those who - without hypocrisy - wants to circumvent regional restrictions that do not allow access to certain sites or web services (the use of the medium itself is legitimate, the purposes can be or less). Use a VPN typically requires the use of third-party clients. The Opera team offers a solution undoubtedly more practical and immediate: support natively in the browser navigation mode in the VPN. The goal was achieved with the latest version of the Opera browser Developer (38) that provides access to a navigation channel encrypted with 256-bit, thanks to which you can hide the details about the connection, simulating that browsing takes place from a different country; as a side effect the VPN, allows to overcome the regional blocks of which we spoke at the opening. A purpose which, in some contexts, it becomes a form of ex...
