The reason why many people dislike this software is because it is so expensive, as is the external hardware sold by Avid, the brand that owns Pro Tools. Many studios have held off on updating their computers for a long time for this reason, which is why Pro Tools lacks many of the modern features found in other DAWs, such as the drag-and-drop functionality for plug-ins that Logic and Studio One offer.Still, the software is great, and if you can get past its antiquated interface, it can perform any musical task you could dream of. There’s a reason this software…

Dr. Wanja Wiese of Ruhr University Bochum has studied the conditions necessary for consciousness and says that at least one of them is missing in computers. In a new paper, she argues that differences in the causal structure of the brain and computers may be related to consciousness, and that current AI systems are not conscious.A new paper explores the necessary conditions for consciousness, highlighting key differences between brains and computers, particularly in their causal structure, and suggesting that truly conscious experience may require more than mere simulation.In a new paper, Wanja Wiese explores what conditions must be met for…

I believe the next few quarters will be a harsh reality for many AI stocks. Many of these stocks are detached from their underlying business fundamentals. Hype and speculation, not revenues and profits, are driving their valuations.

Once the initial enthusiasm dies down, investors start looking again at the numbers, and for many AI companies, the numbers simply don’t add up: without similarly…
Recent discoveries of vulnerabilities in medical IoT devices, lab test equipment and temperature sensors not working as expected highlight the urgent need for a robust security framework. These incidents underscore the need to adopt zero trust principles to protect IoT devices from security breaches. Zero Trust is a unique concept, based on the idea of ”never trust, always verify” as it relates to IoT security. One of the fundamental strategies is network segmentation. Isolating IoT devices into distinct segments helps control access and prevent compromised devices from infiltrating other systems. The challenge, however, lies in their inherent interconnectedness. Many devices…
