Holy over-sensationalized headlines Batman! It's an interesting idea, but not even a remotely viable method to "spy" on someone at the moment as it involves showing a known pattern full screen and capturing sensor data over several minutes. Who is going to take nearly 20 minutes to make a...

As this is a PC hardware site I would expect to be able to ask hardware related questions and receive accurate answers. With new CPUs and chipsets coming out on a regular basis answers to questions like "what motherboard chipset do I need for X cpu" and having relevant additional information...

Following on the theme of this mornings enquiry where Hammerbot recommended that I should upgrade my old i5-7500 to an i3-13100k, I asked it to recommend a mainboard (as it told me I would need a new one): You: What is a good mainboard to pair with an intel i3-13100k cpu? I want to pair it with...

My concern with these chatbots is that they are touted as making things easier for someone to get information, and it certainly presents that way (aside from all the "I cannot answer that" responses) with clear assertions of "facts". But... many of the "fact" are wrong, so you actually need to...

To be fair in the launch article they do state "HammerBot: a chatbot trained on the expert reviews, buying guides, tutorials and news from Tom’s Hardware. " This being the case it's not really fair to expect it to have a broad range of "knowledge" outside what would be in the training dataset.

Hammerbot is a bit hit and miss. Mildly fun to play with but can't be trusted to give useful advice to someone who doesn't know what they are doing. Initially I asked "I currently have a PC with an intel i5-7500, what is the most cost effective upgrade option for me?" and it came back with a...

A new BattleZone would be pretty cool.

Valve already has this with HL2 and Team Fortress 2 but one of the problems is motion sickness. Having played HL2 on my Rift DK2 everything looked really cool but in situations where you are doing a lot of running and gunning or jumping, it can start to feel pretty bad. This is why we are seeing...

AlphaGo is just a Go program, but I don't see why they couldn't make a Chess or Checkers program that uses the same DeepMind system. They probably wouldn't bother is my guess as the number of permutation for chess and checkers are small enough brute force. The unique thing about Go is the...

What you mean like the iPhone 6 plus, Galaxy Note 4, Nexus 6 and a bunch of Nokia Luminas?

Surely not Nutella as it's a brand name. How about nougat?

Watching the whole game and listening to the commentary one of the things that stood out is that AlphaGO doesn't get tired where as Lee Sedol has to concentrate for >3 hours solid.

I recently purchased ED on sale and have been pretty impressed at how well it works with my DK2. It's great being able to look around to see where you are going or to track an opponent. I hope SC fully supports VR as it really makes a difference.
