Solving the crux behind Apple’s Silicon Strategy – Medium
Posted: September 20, 2020 at 10:56 pm
In its latest keynote address headed by CEO Tim Cook, Apple its new A14 bionic chip, a 5 nm ARM based chipset.
This System on a Chip (SoC) from Apple is expected to power iPhone 12 and iPad Air (2020) models. The chipset integrates around 11.8 billion transistors.
For over a decade, Apples world-class silicon design team has been building and refining Apple SoCs. Using these designs Apple has been able to develop the latest iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch that are the industry leaders in terms of class and performance. In June of 2020, Apple announced that it will transition the Mac to its custom silicon to offer better technological performance.
Now, Apple Silicon is basically a processor made in-house akin to what is powering the iPhone and iPad family of devices. This ARM move will result in ditching their reliance on Intel chipsets for Future Macs. This transition to silicon will also establish a common architecture across all Apple products, making it far easier for developers to write and optimize their apps for the entire ecosystem. In fact, developers can now start focusing on updating their applications to take advantage of the enhanced capabilities of the Apple silicon.
Along with this Apple also introduced mac0S Big Sur earlier this year, which will be the next major macOS release (version 11.0) and includes technologies that will facilitate a smooth transition to the Apple silicon experience. This will be the first time where developers will be able to make their iOS and iPad OS apps available on the Mac without modifications. The Apple silicon powered Macs will offer industry leading performance per watt and higher performance GPUs. To help developers get accustomed to the new transition, Apple is also launching the Universal App QuickStart Program to guide developers through the entire transition.
Apple plans to ship the new Mac by the end of the year and complete the transition in about two years. This being said Apple will continue to release new versions for Intel-based Mac for years to come.
Apple has been explicit about how serious they are about machine learning-based SoC. Apple A14 includes second-generation machine learning accelerators in the CPU for 10 times faster machine learning calculations. The combination of the new Neural Engine, machine learning accelerators, advanced power management, unified memory architecture and the Apple high-performance GPU enables powerful on-device experiences for image recognition, natural language learning, analysing motion, and maybe a machine learning enabled GPS!
According to a recent patent application by Apple , they have been working on a technology that implements a system for estimating the device location based on a global positioning system consisting of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellite, and receives a set of parameters associated with the estimated position. The processor is further configured to apply the set of parameters and the estimated position to a machine learning model that has been trained on a position relative to the satellite. The estimated position and output of the model is then provided to a Kalman filter for more accurate location.
This technology may be significantly better than what a mobile device alone can perform in most non-aided mode(s) of operation. Apples patent to improve GPS in the upcoming 5G era might give them an advantage over existing resources.
Apples move to its own ARM chips comes just as the company unveils macOS version 11.0 (Big Sur). That means ARM based Mac computers will continue to run macOS instead of switching to iOS 14, similar to the approach taken with existing Windows laptops that use Qualcomm ARM based processors. Apple apparently has its hardware and software team working together, given that they have found a way for all their applications functioning seamless from day one of the launch, through Rosetta 2 acting as an emulator and a translator that will allow Intel-made apps to run on Silicon-powered devices.
Moreover, the Apple ecosystem acts as the catalyst for innovation in the company and is not limited to the hardware and software products, but also around its services.
Putting a foot forward in that direction is the Apple One Subscription.
Apple with its calm dignity, diligent market study and unflinching courage to innovate has taken its own time to come up with their strategic silicon move. Apple stayed focused on its long term goals instead of following the hype, trends and gimmicks set out by its competitors to gain customer attention. This ability to think differently is a driving force behind their success.
And owing to the current state of affairs Apple has played it relatively safe this year, sticking to their core offerings. We can expect an exciting iPhone, iMac and MacOS launch later this year.
Lets gear up for another round of innovation sponsored by Apple.

Boost Your Animation To 60 FPS Using AI – Hackaday
Posted: at 10:56 pm
The uses of artificial intelligence and machine learning continue to expand, with one of the more recent implementations being video processing. A new method can fill in frames to smooth out the appearance of the video, which [LegoEddy] was able to use this in one of his animated LEGO movies with some astonishing results.
His original animation of LEGO figures and sets was created at 15 frames per second. As an animator, he notes that its orders of magnitude more difficult to get more frames than this with traditional methods, at least in his studio. This is where the artificial intelligence comes in. The program is able to interpolate between frames and create more frames to fill the spaces between the original. This allowed [LegoEddy] to increase his frame rate from 15 fps to 60 fps without having to actually create the additional frames.
While weve seen AI create art before, the improvement on traditionally produced video is a dramatic advancement. Especially since the AI is aware of depth and preserves information about the distance of objects from the camera. The software is also free, runs on any computer with an appropriate graphics card, and is available on GitHub.
Thanks to [BaldPower] for the tip!

Algorithms may never really figure us out thank goodness – The Boston Globe
Posted: at 10:56 pm
An unlikely scandal engulfed the British government last month. After COVID-19 forced the government to cancel the A-level exams that help determine university admission, the British education regulator used an algorithm to predict what score each student would have received on their exam. The algorithm relied in part on how the schools students had historically fared on the exam. Schools with richer children tended to have better track records, so the algorithm gave affluent students even those on track for the same grades as poor students much higher predicted scores. High-achieving, low-income pupils whose schools had not previously performed well were hit particularly hard. After threats of legal action and widespread demonstrations, the government backed down and scrapped the algorithmic grading process entirely. This wasnt an isolated incident: In the United States, similar issues plagued the International Baccalaureate exam, which used an opaque artificial intelligence system to set students' scores, prompting protests from thousands of students and parents.
These episodes highlight some of the pitfalls of algorithmic decision-making. As technology advances, companies, governments, and other organizations are increasingly relying on algorithms to predict important social outcomes, using them to allocate jobs, forecast crime, and even try to prevent child abuse. These technologies promise to increase efficiency, enable more targeted policy interventions, and eliminate human imperfections from decision-making processes. But critics worry that opaque machine learning systems will in fact reflect and further perpetuate shortcomings in how organizations typically function including by entrenching the racial, class, and gender biases of the societies that develop these systems. When courts and parole boards have used algorithms to forecast criminal behavior, for example, they have inaccurately identified Black defendants as future criminals more often than their white counterparts. Predictive policing systems, meanwhile, have led the police to unfairly target neighborhoods with a high proportion of non-white people, regardless of the true crime rate in those areas. Companies that have used recruitment algorithms have found that they amplify bias against women.
But there is an even more basic concern about algorithmic decision-making. Even in the absence of systematic class or racial bias, what if algorithms struggle to make even remotely accurate predictions about the trajectories of individuals' lives? That concern gains new support in a recent paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The paper describes a challenge, organized by a group of sociologists at Princeton University, involving 160 research teams from universities across the country and hundreds of researchers in total, including one of the authors of this article. These teams were tasked with analyzing data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, an ongoing study that measures various life outcomes for thousands of families who gave birth to children in large American cities around 2000. It is one of the richest data sets available to researchers: It tracks thousands of families over time, and has been used in more than 750 scientific papers.
The task for the teams was simple. They were given access to almost all of this data and asked to predict several important life outcomes for a sample of families. Those outcomes included the childs grade point average, their grit (a commonly used measure of passion and perseverance), whether the household would be evicted, the material hardship of the household, and whether the parent would lose their job.
The teams could draw on almost 13,000 predictor variables for each family, covering areas such as education, employment, income, family relationships, environmental factors, and child health and development. The researchers were also given access to the outcomes for half of the sample, and they could use this data to hone advanced machine-learning algorithms to predict each of the outcomes for the other half of the sample, which the organizers withheld. At the end of the challenge, the organizers scored the 160 submissions based on how well the algorithms predicted what actually happened in these peoples lives.
The results were disappointing. Even the best performing prediction models were only marginally better than random guesses. The models were rarely able to predict a students GPA, for example, and they were even worse at predicting whether a family would get evicted, experience unemployment, or face material hardship. And the models gave almost no insight into how resilient a child would become.
In other words, even having access to incredibly detailed data and modern machine learning methods designed for prediction did not enable the researchers to make accurate forecasts. The results of the Fragile Families Challenge, the authors conclude, with notable understatement, raise questions about the absolute level of predictive performance that is possible for some life outcomes, even with a rich data set.
Of course, machine learning systems may be much more accurate in other domains; this paper studied the predictability of life outcomes in only one setting. But the failure to make accurate predictions cannot be blamed on the failings of any particular analyst or method. Hundreds of researchers attempted the challenge, using a wide range of statistical techniques, and they all failed.
These findings suggest that we should doubt that big data can ever perfectly predict human behavior and that policymakers working in criminal justice policy and child-protective services should be especially cautious. Even with detailed data and sophisticated prediction techniques, there may be fundamental limitations on researchers' ability to make accurate predictions. Human behavior is inherently unpredictable, social systems are complex, and the actions of individuals often defy expectations.
And yet disappointing as this may be for technocrats and data scientists, it also suggests something reassuring about human potential. If life outcomes are not firmly pre-determined if an algorithm, given a set of past data points, cannot predict a persons trajectory then the algorithms limitations ultimately reflect the richness of humanitys possibilities.
Bryan Schonfeld and Sam Winter-Levy are PhD candidates in politics at Princeton University.

Six notable benefits of AI in finance, and what they mean for humans – Daily Maverick
Posted: at 10:55 pm
Addressing AI anxiety
A common narrative around emerging technologies like AI, machine learning, and robotic process automation is the anxiety and fear that theyll replace humans. In South Africa, with an unemployment rate of over 30%, these concerns are valid.
But if we dig deep into what we can do with AI, we learn it will elevate the work that humans do, making it more valuable than ever.
Sage research found that most senior financial decision-makers (90%) are comfortable with automation performing more of their day-to-day accounting tasks in the future, and 40% believe that AI and machine learning (ML) will improve forecasting and financial planning.
Whats more, two-thirds of respondents expect emerging technology to audit results continuously and to automate period-end reporting and corporate audits, reducing time to close in the process.
The key to realising these benefits is to secure buy-in from the entire organisation. With 87% of CFOs now playing a hands-on role in digital transformation, their perspective on technology is key to creating a digitally receptive team culture. And their leadership is vital in ensuring their organisations maximise their technology investments. Until employees make the same mindset shift as CFOs have, theyll need to be guided and reassured about the businesss automation strategy and the potential for upskilling.
Six benefits of AI in laymans terms
Speaking during an exclusive virtual event to announce the results of the CFO 3.0 research, as well as the launch of Sage Intacct in South Africa, Aaron Harris, CTO for the Sage, said one reason for the misperception about AIs impact on business and labour is that SaaS companies too often speak in technical jargon.
We talk about AI and machine learning as if theyre these magical capabilities, but we dont actually explain what they do and what problems they solve. We dont put it into terms that matter for business leaders and labour. We dont do a good job as an industry, explaining that machine learning isnt an outcome we should be looking to achieve its the technology that enables business outcomes, like efficiency gains and smarter predictive analytics.
For Harris, AI has remarkable benefits in six key areas:
Digital culture champions
Evolving from a traditional management style that relied on intuition, to a more contemporary one based on data-driven evidence, can be a culturally disruptive process. Interestingly, driving a cultural change wasnt a concern for most South African CFOs, with 73% saying their organisations are ready for more automation.
In fact, AI holds no fear for senior financial decision-makers: over two-thirds are not at all concerned about it, and only one in 10 believe that it will take away jobs.
So, how can businesses reimagine the work of humans when software bots are taking care of all the repetitive work?
How can we leverage the unique skills of humans, like collaboration, contextual understanding, and empathy?
The future world is a world of connections, says Harris. It will be about connecting humans in ways that allow them to work at a higher level. It will be about connecting businesses across their ecosystems so that they can implement digital business models to effectively and competitively operate in their markets. And it will be about creating connections across technology so that traditional, monolithic experiences are replaced with modern ones that reflect new ways of working and that are tailored to how individuals and humans will be most effective in this world.
New world of work
We can envision this world across three areas:
Sharing knowledge and timelines on strategic developments and explaining the significance of these changes will help CFOs to alleviate the fear of the unknown.
Technology may be the enabler driving this change, but how it transforms a business lies with those who are bold enough to take the lead. DM

Twitter is looking into why its photo preview appears to favor white faces over Black faces – The Verge
Posted: at 10:55 pm
Twitter it was looking into why the neural network it uses to generate photo previews apparently chooses to show white peoples faces more frequently than Black faces.
Several Twitter users demonstrated the issue over the weekend, posting examples of posts that had a Black persons face and a white persons face. Twitters preview showed the white faces more often.
The informal testing began after a Twitter user tried to post about a problem he noticed in Zooms facial recognition, which was not showing the face of a Black colleague on calls. When he posted to Twitter, he noticed it too was favoring his white face over his Black colleagues face.
Users discovered the preview algorithm chose non-Black cartoon characters as well.
When Twitter first began using the neural network to automatically crop photo previews, machine learning researchers explained in a blog post how they started with facial recognition to crop images, but found it lacking, mainly because not all images have faces:
Previously, we used face detection to focus the view on the most prominent face we could find. While this is not an unreasonable heuristic, the approach has obvious limitations since not all images contain faces. Additionally, our face detector often missed faces and sometimes mistakenly detected faces when there were none. If no faces were found, we would focus the view on the center of the image. This could lead to awkwardly cropped preview images.
Twitter chief design officer Dantley Davis tweeted that the company was investigating the neural network, as he conducted some unscientific experiments with images:
Liz Kelley of the Twitter communications team tweeted Sunday that the company had tested for bias but hadnt found evidence of racial or gender bias in its testing. Its clear that weve got more analysis to do, Kelley tweeted. Well open source our work so others can review and replicate.
Twitter chief technology officer Parag Agrawal tweeted that the model needed continuous improvement, adding he was eager to learn from the experiments.

8 Trending skills you need to be a good Python Developer – iLounge
Posted: at 10:55 pm
Python, the general-purpose coding language has gained much popularity over the years. Speaking of web development, app designing, scientific computing or machine learning, Python has it all. Due to this favourability of Python in the market, python developers are also in high demand. They are required to be competent and out of the box thinkers- undoubtedly a race to win.
Are you one of those python developers? Do you find yourself lagging behind in proving your reliability? Maybe you are going wrong with some of your
skills. Never mind!
Im here to tell you of those 8 trendsetting skills you need to hone. Implement them and prove your expertise in the programming world. Come, lets take a look!
Being able to use the Python Library in its full potential also decides your expertise with this programming language. Python libraries like Panda, Matplotlib, Requests, Pyglet and more consist of reusable codes that youd wish to add to your programs. These libraries are boon to you as a developer. They will increase workflow and make task execution way easier. Nothing saves more time from having to write the whole code every time.
You might know how Python omits repeated code by using pre-developed frameworks. As a developer using a Python framework, you typically write code which conforms to some kind of conventions. Because of which it becomes easy to delegate responsibilities for the communications, infrastructure and low-level stuff to the framework. You can, therefore, concentrate on the logic of the application in your own code. If you have a good knack of these Python frameworks it can be a blessing, as it allows smooth flow of development. You may not know them all, but its advisable to keep up with some popular ones like Flask, Django and CherryPy.
Not sure of Python frameworks? You can seek help from Python Training Courses.
Object-relational mapping (ORM) is a programming method used to access a database. It exposes your database into a series of objects without writing commands to insert or retrieve data. It may sound complex, but can save you a lot of time, and help to control access to your database. ORM tools can also be customised by a Python developer.
Front end technologies like the HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript will help you collaborate and work with a team of designers, marketers and other developers. Again, this can save a lot of development time.
A good Python developer should have sharp analytical skills. You are expected to observe and critically come up with complex ideas, solutions or decisions about coding. Talking of the analytical skills in Python you need to have:
Analytical skills are a mark of your additional knowledge in the field. Building your analytical skills also make you a better problem solver.
Python Developers have a bright future in Data Science. Companies on the run will prefer developers with Data Science knowledge to create innovative tech solutions. Knowing Python will also gain your knowledge of probability, statistics, data wrangling and SQL. All of these are significant aspects of Data Science.
Python is the right choice to grow in the Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning domain. It is an intuitive and minimalistic language with a full-featured library line (also called frameworks) which considerably reduces the time required to get your first results.
However, to master artificial intelligence and machine learning with Python you need to have a strong command over Python syntax. A fair grounding with calculus, data science and statistics can make you a pro. If you are a beginner, you can gain expertise in these areas by brushing up your math skills for Python Mathematical Libraries. Gradually, you can acquire your adequate Machine Learning skills by building simple neutral networks.
In the coming years, deep learning professionals will be well-positioned as there is a huge possibility awaiting in this field. With Python, you should be able to easily develop and evaluate deep learning models. Since deep learning is the advanced model of Machine Learning, to be able to bring it into complete functionality you should first get hands-on:
A good python developer is also a mixture of several soft skills like proactivity, communication and time management. Most of all, a career as a Python Developer is challenging, but at the same time interesting. Empowering yourself with these skill sets is sure to take you a long way. Push yourself from the comfort zone and work hard from today!

Automation Continuum – Leveraging AI and ML to Optimise RPA – Analytics Insight
Posted: at 10:55 pm
Over the past year, the appropriation of robotic process automation, especially progressed macros or robotic workers intended to automate the most ordinary, dull and time-exorbitant tasks has seen significant growth. As the technology develops alongside artificial intelligence and machine learning, the most encouraging future for knowledge workers is one where the simplicity of arrangement of RPA and the raw power of machine learning join to make more productive, more intelligent robotic workers.
One of the keys for adoption is companies would prefer not to trouble individuals with a lot of new tools and permit their environments to learn. For each situation, what companies attempt to do is, whatever UI theyre working in, possibly they make a widget, perhaps theres a dashboard that we can add a panel to that that would contain the data that is required. Adding to their current UI or including a stage over that routes things to the correct individual so they dont see 80% of the cases that they would have seen because they were automatically delegated and never got there.
Despite the fact that RPA today is invading pretty much every industry, the significant adopters of this tech are banks, insurance agencies, telecom firms and service organizations. This is on the grounds that organizations in these divisions for the most part have legacy systems and RPA solutions get effectively incorporated with their current functionalities.
Artificial intelligence is essentially about a computers capacity to imitate the human attitude, regardless of whether its tied in with recognising a picture or even taking care of an issue or a discussion.
You can consider Facebooks AI Research to see better. Here, the social media giant feeds the AI system with various pictures and the machine delivers accurate results. When a photograph of a dog is shown to the machine, it remembers it as a dog as well as recognised the breed.
RPA is an innovation that utilizes a particular set of rules and an algorithm and based on that it automates a task.
