NotebookLM Gets a Major Upgrade: Better Speed, Deeper Analysis, and Personalized Roles

0

Google’s big learning tool just got a bit of a boost.

You can tell NotebookLM is pretty key to Google’s whole AI strategy, given how fast it’s been adding new features lately. Just a month or so back, the tool’s top-notch Audio Overviews feature got video support, and then in September, it got even better with new voices and tones for that feature.

Now, Google is launching even more changes – and this time they’re all aimed at making NotebookLM smarten up and get more powerful.

To start with, the tool has just got some back-end tinkering that should see its performance & quality shoot up, and its comprehension get a whole lot better.

This was done by plugging in Gemini’s full 1-million token context window into NotebookLM’s chat – and guess what? That’s a thing all plans get, and is supposed to make it faster to analyse big collections of documents at a time. Plus, Google says they’ve increased NotebookLM’s ability to have a multi-turn conversation by more than sixfold – so you can now get more useful & relevant results when you spend more time chatting to it.

Google’s also reportedly made NotebookLM better at finding relevant info in your sources, by having it go a bit deeper than just the prompt & try to give you more nuanced responses.

And also, your NotebookLM conversations will now get saved automatically. You can now basically just shut down a session & pick it back up again later without losing a thing. You can delete the chat history any time you like, and also your own chat history in shared notebooks will only ever be visible to you. These changes are all due to roll out over the next week or so.

Lastly and most importantly, users should now be able to personalise their NotebookLM chats to help them meet specific goals. This can be things like telling the tool to work towards a particular goal, adopt a particular voice or role, like being a PhD student looking at sources, or a creative type just mucking about with ideas.

More AIs are coming to Apple Intelligence

0

Tim Cook says Apple will embed more third-party AIs into its operating systems. “Our intention is to integrate with more people over time,” Cook told CNBC. Apple has already embedded ChatGPT into Siri, with a Google Gemini integration in the works, and rumors of a partnership with Anthropic and Perplexity.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about third-party integrations, as Apple software SVP Craig Federighi said last year that the company “may look forward to doing integrations with different models like Google Gemini in the future.”

Cook also said Apple will release an AI-ified Siri next year and “we will integrate with more people over time.” Apple is “making good progress” on Siri, he said during an earnings call Thursday, and M&A is still on the table. “We are open to M&A if we think it will advance our roadmap,” Cook said, echoing a statement from July.

Apple just released its Q4 earnings, and the company reported record revenue of $102.5 billion over the past few months, up 8% from last year.

Even with the iPhone 17 launch last month, Apple still hasn’t delivered on its AI plans, which are supposed to bring an upgraded Siri across all its devices. A recent report from Bloomberg said Apple may partner with Google to build an AI search tool for Siri. Google CEO Sundar Pichai also confirmed last year that the company is working on Gemini support for the iPhone.

iPhone 17 sales likely only make up a small portion of Apple’s $49.03 billion in iPhone revenue. The new lineup includes the iPhone Air — Apple’s thinnest device yet — and the upgraded iPhone 17 and 17 Pro. This year, Apple brought some features previously reserved for its Pro-level iPhones to its entry-level device, including an always-on display with ProMotion for smoother scrolling.

Apple’s Mac revenue was $8.72 billion, and iPad revenue was $6.95 billion. Services revenue, which includes Apple TV, Apple Music, Apple Fitness Plus, and Apple Arcade, was $28.8 billion and includes an iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, and Vision Pro headset with M5. iPhone 17e next year?

Why Alphabet’s ‘Moonshot’ Projects Are Really Taking Off Now – As Independent Companies

0

Alphabet is making a big shift in the way it takes its most ambitious and far-reaching ideas to market – and it’s been a while coming. Instead of scooping up successful “moonshot” projects and swallowing them whole, the company’s now spinning them out as their own independent outfits. And that’s a game-changer.

The crux of this new approach is a special fund that’s been set up just for spinning out X companies: Series X Capital.

Details on Series X Capital: This fund has got half a billion bucks in it, and it’s being run by Gideon Yu – the bloke who used to run YouTube and was Facebook’s CFO.

What makes the fund tick: The key here is that Alphabet’s only a minority investor when it comes to these spinouts. That means they’re not controlling the fund or the companies that come out of it – they’re just along for the ride. That’s what Astro Teller, the head of X, keeps saying is crucial to making these spinouts work.

A Fund That’s Focused: Unlike Alphabet’s other investment arms, this one’s only allowed to put money into companies that are direct spinouts from X. You won’t find Alphabet dipping into GV or CapitalG or Gradient Ventures for these sorts of investments.

A New Way to Think About Moonshots

This is a major departure from the way X used to do things. Back in the day, projects like Waymo and Wing were just absorbed into Alphabet as full-fledged subsidiaries. But Teller says that over the years, they’ve come to realize that this just isn’t the best way to go for every project.

He reckons that – especially for smaller, more niche projects that are fundamentally different from what Alphabet’s already got going – it’s better to let them stand on their own two feet and go it alone. Alphabet’s got loads of resources, sure – but not always all the right resources for any given project. And Teller says that for some projects, what they really need is to be able to spread their wings a bit and go fast.

The goal here is to create a relationship that’s more symbiotic than controlling – where X can still work with these spinouts, share ideas and get some benefits from having a close relationship – but without having to call the shots.

The Culture That Lets It Happen

But how does it all get to this point? Teller reckons it’s down to the culture at X – which is all about being honest about what’s going to fly and what’s not. They’re not afraid to say “no” to an idea that’s just not going to work. And that, he says, is what lets them be able to spin out and not just get stuck in the alphabet soup

What Makes A Moonshot?

For X, a really proper moonshot’s got to tick three boxes:

It’s got to be going after something that’s a real problem – not just some small annoyance.

It’s got to be something that actually has a real chance of solving that problem for good.

It’s got to be using some brand-new tech that’s got real promise – not just something that sounds good on paper.

The Ruthless Testing Phase

Once an idea meets those criteria, X’s process is designed to test for reasons to kill it.

“If you propose something and it sounds pretty wild, has those three components, and it’s a testable hypothesis, for a small amount of money we can learn if it’s a little bit crazier than we thought or a little bit less crazy than we thought,” Teller said.

The final word on failure is surprisingly positive: “If it’s a little bit crazier than we thought, cool, high five, let’s kill it and move on.” This is the process that generates the viable concepts ready for independent life via Series X Capital.

Early Intel: Could Black Ops 7’s Campaign and Zombies Drop a Week Ahead of Schedule?

0

The calendar is marked for November 14—the official, worldwide launch date for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. With no planned early access periods, that date has been firmly set… until now. Fresh leaks suggest Activision might be planning an early strike for the game’s single-player and co-op modes, a move that would be a big deal for the community.

It’s a long-standing tradition that whenever a new Call of Duty game is coming, fans want the Campaign (and sometimes other non-multiplayer modes) to drop early. It’s a smart move that lets players digest the story before the multiplayer madness begins. Activision has done it before, offering full week early access to the narrative. And it looks like Black Ops 7 could be next.

The Leak: PlayStation Database Spills the Beans

blackops7

The latest speculation has been fueled by the reliable ‘PlayStation Game Size‘ account on X. This account, which mines the PlayStation database for upcoming title details, shared important info about Black Ops 7’s pre-load—reportedly starting on November 9. More importantly, they revealed dates listed for the Campaign and Zombies components.

According to their post, these non-multiplayer modes will unlock on November 10, four days before the supposed global launch.

That’s a four day window. Both Modern Warfare II (2022) and Modern Warfare III (2023) gave the Campaign a full week early. If Black Ops 7 is following the same strategy, a November 7 release for the Campaign and Zombies would make more sense.

A Database Glitch or a New Strategy?

The timeline gets clearer—and more confusing—when you look at another piece of data: the PlayStation database also lists the title’s full release date as November 17.

That’s almost certainly an error that will be fixed by Sony and Activision soon. The question is: Will the rumored November 10 Campaign date be changed to match a corrected, earlier timeline? If the full release date is indeed November 14 and the Campaign usually drops a week early, then we should see a November 7 release. If the November 10 date holds, it’s either a compressed early access window this year or the entire calendar has been moved internally.

Regardless, the data suggests something is happening a week from now. Fans will likely be playing Black Ops 7 before the multiplayer servers go live.

Of course, this is all based on database leaks. Until Activision or Treyarch confirm it, take it with a grain of salt.

This advanced laptop features 32 GB of memory, accompanied by 1 TB of storage and advanced technology with artificial intelligence enhancements.

Packed with an amazing 15.6-inch ASUS Lumina OLED display, the Vivobook S 15 has a resolution of 2.8K or 2880 by 1620 pixels, using 120 Hertz for a super-smooth, refreshing rate on the screen.

The unit features a high 89% screen-to-body ratio with peak brightness of 600 nits. The OLED panel is 100% DCI-P3 in color gamut and is smartly fine-tuned with Delta E < 1 for great color accuracy.

Plural connections on the ASUS Vivobook S 15 include two USB 4.0 ports, two USB-A ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, audio jack, and microSD card slot. The audio quality of the system is brilliant, including Harman Kardon.
Running under the hood of the Vivobook S 15 is the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite, probably the most powerful one on the market right now. The FastConnect 7800 system ensures seamless Bluetooth 5.4 and WiFi 7 at speeds of up to 5.8Gbps. The Hexagon NPU is inbuilt to provide it the ability to reach up to 45 TOPS for fantastically on-device AI processing, supporting things like Live Captions and turning sketching into polished art, alongside the inclusions of all other Windows AI features.

The Phi-3-Vision: The Union of Text and Image Understanding in the Modern AI of Microsoft

0

The new platform, Phi-3 Vision, has been released by Microsoft, which is multimodal AI.
Microsoft, in one go, expands the Phi-3 compact language model series with the new J-Phi-3. Not only does this new frat member analyze text, but it can also interpret and understand images—it is a multimodal powerhouse.

With 4.2 billion parameters, optimized for mobile use, and general visual reasoning, the Phi-3-Vision will now permit querying with high-level questions on images or charts in order to get insightful answers. Unlike image-generation models, such as DALL·E or the Stable Diffusion, which are image-restoring models, the emphasis of the Phi-3-Vision is on image analysis and understanding to be able to offer deep knowledge from the visual data, not create new ones.

The Phi-3-Vision is the next model in the series after the Phi-3-Mini; it has 3.8 billion parameters. The family now has four members: Phi-3-mini, Phi-3-Vision, Phi-3-Small (7 billion parameters), and Phi.

This becoming one of the dominant trends in AI development: a rush toward models that are ever more efficient in the consuming of processing power and memory. The best models in this respect are optimized for mobile hosts or other resource-constrained platforms. Microsoft has already given an example of an already successful implementation of the approach with Orca-Math, which defeated its larger counterparts in arithmetic. Currently available is Phi-3-Vision in preview, while Phi-3-Mini, Phi-3-Small, and Phi-3-Medium are published in the Azure model library.

How to Isolate or Remove Vocals from a Song

0

With advancements in content creation, audio editing and music production tools offer multiple features. One of the most valuable features is to isolate or remove vocals from a song. Whether you want to create instrumental tracks or Karaoke versions, vocals isolation tools have multiple applications. Choosing the right tool will help you create a high-quality instrumental track without any traces of vocals. This article on how to remove vocals from a YouTube link mentions the most effective vocal removal tool that is feature-rich and free. With the detailed steps and pros and cons, you can remove vocals effectively.

Which software to use in order to remove vocals?

audacity

Audacity is one of the popular software for removing vocals from audio tracks. It is a free and open-source audio software that provides multiple tools for audio editing and manipulation. Audacity has an advanced algorithm to identify and eliminate the vocal frequencies, leaving the instrumental version behind. The results may vary according to the complexity of the original recording. It can work with multiple operating systems and offers an extensive plugin library to extend its features.

As a traditional tool, Audacity does not have advanced features compared to a specialized vocal remover tool. However, it has options to manually adjust audio elements. These methods include stereo channel adjustment, phase inversion, or using plugins like the “Vocal Reduction and Isolation.”

Since Audacity is not a dedicated vocal remover software, it may not offer a high-quality result as an advanced tool. It may not remove vocals accurately for complex songs. Specialized tools such as EaseUS Online Vocal Remover have advanced features and use AI algorithms to remove vocals effectively.

Pros

  • Free and open-source.
  • Multi-platform support.
  • Robust audio editing features.
  • Extensive plugin support for added functionality.

Cons

  • The steeper learning curve for beginners.
  • Requires manual adjustment.
  • Limited features.
  • Occasional stability issues reported.
  • No built-in virtual instrument support.

How does it work?

Audacity’s vocal removal tool is known for its effectiveness and is widely used by musicians and podcasters. Additionally, Audacity offers various other features for detailed audio editing, making it a versatile choice. Vocal removal in Audacity includes tools like phase cancellation or phase inversion. It works by splitting vocals at the centre while instruments and elements are spread across the stereo field.

Here’s how vocal removal works:

· Stereo Tracks: Most music tracks are recorded and mixed in stereo. These have two channels—left and right. In a stereo mix, vocals are often placed in the centre.

· Identifying Vocal Frequencies: Vocal removal tools analyze the frequencies associated with the vocals. Vocals have a broad frequency range. Users can identify and isolate these frequencies from the rest of the audio.

· Inverting Phase: After identifying vocal frequencies, the tool creates a copy of the audio containing only those frequencies. This copy is then phase-inverted, which means that the peaks of the audio waveform become troughs and vice versa.

· Combining Phases: The inverted copy is then combined with the original audio. Since one version is phase-inverted, when you combine the identical frequencies in both versions, they cancel each other out.

· Result: The result is an audio track where the vocal frequencies are cancelled or greatly reduced, leaving behind the instrumental or background elements of the music.

Unveiling the OnePlus 12: A Detailed Look at China’s Latest Flagship

0
OnePlus 12R

The OnePlus 12 has already debuted in China, offering detailed information about the device. The anticipation for its global introduction in January 2024 is growing. While the OnePlus 12 takes centre stage as the flagship model, OnePlus is preparing to launch the OnePlus 12R on a global scale. This budget-friendly flagship intends to appeal to those looking for a less expensive option without sacrificing performance.

The camera specifications of the OnePlus 12R have been revealed thanks to insider Yogesh Brar’s leak. The primary camera features a 50MP Sony IMX890 sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and a large 1/1.56-inch sensor, as well as optical image stabilization (OIS). Furthermore, the ultrawide angle lens is said to be an 8MP Sony IMX355 with an f/2.2 aperture and a wide 112° field of view. The third camera, a Sony IMX709 with a 32MP sensor and an f/2.0 aperture, offers 2x optical zoom. The primary back camera is supposed to record 4K footage at 60 frames per second.

Previous rumors said that the OnePlus 12R would include a 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, providing a visually immersive experience. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC powers the gadget, demonstrating that, while not being the most recent, it is still a solid pick for a budget flagship. The phone is also said to include a large 5,500mAh battery and the ease of 100W charging.

Comparisons with its predecessor, the OnePlus 11, indicate some similarities, such as display size and chipset. However, differences emerge in aspects such as the lowered ultrawide sensor and a significantly inferior display, which are compensated for by a bigger battery capacity. The OnePlus 12R is establishing itself as an inexpensive flagship in the premium mid-range category, with its key strength being a deliberate balance of specs.

The OnePlus 12R will make its international debut on January 23, 2023, and it is ready to establish itself as an appealing option in a competitive market. How OnePlus strategically places the smartphone and its subsequent impact on the broader product selection following the OnePlus 12 introduction is still of great interest.
