3 affordable AI apps for time-strapped video creators

Making videos is a tedious way to make a living—or at least it used to be. Lately, it’s gotten a lot easier because AI video tools have gotten shockingly good in a short amount of time.

Here are three worthy tools that can save hours and hours of time, enhance creativity, and streamline workflows, all without breaking the bank.

Here’s the real reason AI companies are slimming down their models

OpenAI on Thursday announced GPT-4o mini, a smaller and less expensive version of its GPT-4o AI model. OpenAI is one of a number of AI companies to develop a version of its best “foundation” model that trades away some intelligence for some speed and affordability. Such a trade-off could let more developers power their apps with AI, and may open the door for more complex apps like autonomous agents in t

Responsible leadership is needed to harness the power of AI

The New York Times warned about “labor-saving devices” coming for our jobs in its 1928 headline the “March of the Machine Makes Idle Hands.” Ninety-five years later, pseudoscientific research is prompting headlines that claim artificial intelligence poses an

The criticality of purpose-built healthtech

Hospitals today regularly use health tech to solve a variety of needs, including those that improve patient outcomes. However, these technologies—meant to do good—are often not built with healthcare workers in mind.

Current studies estimate that over 60% of hospital staff report burnout. There are several causes of burnout, including understaffing, lack of management support, stressful work environ

How this broadband bootcamp is helping U.S. tribal communities gain internet access

There’s a home movie theater with orange walls and plush recliners at the top of a steep hill on Matthew Rantanen’s ranch in Southern California. But on a recent afternoon, people weren’t flocking to the room to watch a movie or to escape the scorching heat, they were shining a beam of light through more than 55,000 feet (17

The CrowdStrike outage should make us rethink the resiliency of our tech infrastructure. It probably won’t

Very late Thursday night, the world got a firsthand look at how vulnerable our computer infrastructure is. A glitch in an update to cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike’s Falcon Sensor tool pushed out by engineers caused a catastrophic error that resulted in potentially millions of Windows computers worldwide crashing into a blue screen of death.

This weather app is a must—even for Apple Weather and Google Weather users

Most weather apps aren’t ideal for road trips. Sure, you can see the weather in a particular city, but what will the weather actually be like along your driving route?

I’ve had times I seemed to be driving with a storm—and times I just missed one. So what if a weather app could give you insights about your route, helping you choose the right time to leave—or the right route to take?

Earlier this month, when I was driving through Pennsylvania and the sky suddenly opened up

Joe Biden leaves behind a pretty impressive tech legacy

On Sunday, nearly a month after a disastrous debate performance that left the Democratic Party in shambles, President Joe Biden announced he would not seek reelection. The decision puts to rest weeks of speculation and mudslinging, and leaves us with the far less incendiary task of assessing his legacy—something that peddles in nuts-and-bolts policy more than the

How music lost its value

A new documentary from Paramount+, How Music Got Free, tells the inside story of how albums shed their exoskeletons and became something more ethereal and less profitable. Produced by LeBron James and Eminem, who rode the tail end of the CD boom to stratospheric heights, the film explores the music industry’s spectacular implosion about two seconds later. But while it traces the overarching business story in foren

The first wave of AI innovation is over. Here’s what comes next

Imagine asking a sophisticated AI model for tips on making the perfect pizza, only to be told to use glue to help the cheese stick. Or watching it fumble through basic arithmetic problems that a middle schooler could solve with ease. These are the limitations and quirks of generative AI and the large language models (LLMs) that underpin them. They’re happening because AI models are running out of good training data, causing them to plateau.

Automotive big data can drive other industries forward

Data-driven analytics have seeped into the fabric of countless businesses worldwide, accelerating operational efficiencies and strategic decision-making.

What makes the ongoing data revolution so powerful is that these insights are greater than the sum of their parts—one industry’s data can easily spark innovations in another, germinating new ideas in unexpected ways.

For example, data accumulated by fitness companies offer crucial insights on public health trends and beh

How small businesses are dealing with CrowdStrike’s global tech outages

An owner of a consumer insights research firm couldn’t pay her employees, make Friday’s deadline to sign a contract for a new business or send key research to a key client. A psychiatrist, who runs a virtual mental health practice in Maryland, saw his business hobbled as some of his virtual assistants and therapists couldn’t either make phone calls or log on to their computers. And a restaurant owner in New York City was worried about how he was going to pay his vendors and

Magna Carta

Z nudy minulého léta mi vytanula na mysli jedna otázka. Jak to bylo s tím prvním a zakládajícím dokumentem vší moderní ústavnosti. Tak jsem si ji přeložil.

Přírodní počítač: Butlerova reakce provádí chemické rezervoárové výpočty

Rezervoárové výpočty jsou pro laika záhadné a obtížně proniknutelné. Současně ale mohou běžet v relativně jednoduchých systémech, například v průtočném míchaném reaktoru, kam se nasypou čtyři běžné reaktanty reakce vytvářející cukry z formaldehydu. Nevěřili byste, co taková břečka dokáže. http://www.osel.cz/13564-prirodni-pocitac-butlerova-reakce-provadi-chemicke-rezervoarove-vypocty.html

Monstrózní dvojturbína OceanX může pracovat v tropické cyklóně

Plovoucí platforma OceanX je novým behemotem větrné energetiky. Se dvěma rotory o průměru 182 metrů a výkonu 2× 8,3 MW může těžit vítr na širém oceánu i v cyklónách s větrem o rychlosti 260 km/h a s 30metrovými vlnami. Ročně by měla natočit asi 54 tisíc MWh, což by stačilo asi pro 30 tisíc čínských domácností. http://www.osel.cz/13566-monstrozni-dvojturbina-oceanx-muze-pracovat-v-tropicke-cyklone.html

Fyzici se snaží smířit tachyony se speciální teorií relativity

Tachyony svou nadsvětelnou rychlostí dráždí každého, kdo jen lehce zavadil o fyziku. Výzkumný tým vedený známým rebelem Andrzejem Draganem tvrdí, že se jim povedlo vyřešit zásadní problémy, jimiž tachyony dělaly ve fyzice zmatek. Že by nakonec došlo k uzavření příměří v nějaké univerzitní hospodě? http://www.osel.cz/13568-fyzici-se-snazi-smirit-tachyony-se-specialni-teorii-relativity.html

Rakovinotvorný dětský pudr stažen z prodeje. Žel ne u nás.

Zadečky se v létě víc paří nejen batolatům. I my, kteří vyrážíme na tůry nárazově, ať už koňmo, pěšmo či kolmo, bychom mohli vyprávět, jak „vlk“ dokáže potrápit. Ať už zarudlé půlky budeme zklidňovat ratolestem či sobě, nebude na škodu se podívat, čím to činíme. Špatnou zprávou je, že mnohé z produktů obsah právě oné rizikové škodliviny neuvádějí. A nebo ještě hůř, je vyzdvihována jako přednost. http://www.osel.cz/13570-rakovinotvorny-detsky-pudr-stazen-z-prodeje-zel-ne-u-nas_1.html

Ultralehký solární elektrostatický dron může létat (téměř) věčně

Čínský miniaturní vrtulník ColoumbFly má pouhých 4,21 gramů. Pohání ho ultralehký elektrostatický motor se solárními panely. Teoreticky může ColoumbFly létat neustále, tedy pokud svítí Slunce nebo se dron nerozbije. Konstrukce se zdá být stabilní a po vylepšení ovládání a zvětšení kapacity pro náklad by dron mohl díky své výdrži a nenápadnosti najít široké uplatnění. http://www.osel.cz/13574-ultralehky-solarni-elektrostaticky-dron-muze-letat-temer-vecne.html

Pulzarové detektory by mohly objevit neviditelné objekty v Mléčné dráze

Virtuální pulzarové detektory mohou dělat mnoho věcí, počínaje detekcí gravitační vln o dlouhé vlnové délce. Americký fyzik John LoSecco navrhuje využít je k pátrání po objektech, které jsou slušně hmotné, ale za normálních okolností nejsou zřetelné v našich teleskopech. Mohly by to být potulné planety, hnědí či bílí trpaslíci nebo třeba chuchvalce temné hmoty, které se potulují Mléčnou dráhou. http://www.osel.cz/13575-pulzarove-detektory-by-mohly-objevit-neviditelne-objekty-v-mlecne-draze.html
