OpenAI came up with a remedy for “hallucinations” in neural networks
One of the problems of modern neural networks is their “hallucinations”. This is the name given to data that does not correspond to the real state of affairs, but neural networks generate them along with true facts. And now OpenAI announced that it has come up with a new method for training artificial intelligence models that will help to cope with the “hallucinations” of AI.
“Even the most modern models are prone to false conclusions – they tend to invent facts in moments of uncertainty. These hallucinations are especially critical in areas that require multi-step reasoning, since one logical error is enough to make the whole result wrong.”, write the OpenAI researchers in the report.
The idea of the new method is to change the motivation system for AI. In other words, it is proposed to reward the neural network for each correct step of reasoning, instead of the reward being given for the final correct answer. This will allow the neural network to be more accurate and check the facts.
According to the researchers, the detection and elimination of logical errors in the model, or hallucinations, is an important step towards creating a consistent AGI. [искусственного интеллекта общего назначения]”said Karl Cobbe, staff mathematician at OpenAI. He also clarified that the company has already opened access to the accompanying data set of 800,000 labels that were used to train the neural network as part of the study.
At the same time, the problem is far from being solved, and experts say that the company has not yet opened all the information on this study. Thus, the risk of AI “hallucinations” remains relevant for the time being.

Screens, batteries and sizes of the Samsung Galaxy S24 line. A well-known insider revealed new data

Well-known insider Ice Universe has published a fresh piece of data about Samsung smartphones in the Galaxy S24 line, and this time about all models in the line.
According to these data, the basic Galaxy S24 will have a 6.2-inch screen with Full HD+ resolution, a 4000 mAh battery with 25-watt charging, and dimensions will be 147 x 70.6 x 7.6 mm.
Galaxy S24+ will have a 6.7-inch WQHD+ screen, a 4900 mAh battery with 45-watt charging and dimensions of 158.5 × 75.9 × 7.7 mm.
The dimensions of the Galaxy S24 Ultra will be 162.3 x 79 x 8.6 mm with a 6.8-inch WQHD+ screen and a 5000 mAh battery with 45-watt charging.
In all cases, the new products will boast displays with a peak brightness of 2500 cd/sq.m.
Ice Universe was the first to accurately talk about the new trend for smartphones with waterfall screens, about the bangs in the iPhone X, about the new design of the iPhone 14 and about Samsung’s 200-megapixel image sensor.

Solving the overheating problem: iPhone 15 Pro Max, S23 Ultra and Pixel 7 Pro were “tortured” by rain, water and complete freezing in a block of ice

Apple’s newest top smartphone continues to be tested online in a variety of ways, testing the limits of patience and what is acceptable. This time, the thematic resource TechDroider, known for its tests, published a video where three competing flagship smartphones are subjected to “torture in freezing water.”
In the announcement for the video, TechDroider joked:
iPhone 15 Pro Max overheating? Here’s a quick solution.
In the video itself, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, Samsung S23 Ultra and Pixel 7 Pro are tested together for resistance to freezing water. All three devices received IP68 protection against water and dust, and TechDroider decided to find out how they would behave after 6 hours of freezing.
To begin with, the smartphones were tested in rain and shower, as a result, all survived and showed no signs of moisture getting inside. Then the smartphones were placed in a container of water. At this stage, the author discovered that the S Pen stylus continues to work correctly with the Galaxy S23 Ultra even under water. As a result, all smartphones issued a warning about water getting into the USB Type-C port, and the Pixel 7 Pro even notified the owner when the connector was dry and charging became safe.
The final freezing and defrosting led to minor problems. Thus, condensation appeared in the camera block of the iPhone 15 Pro Max and all three smartphones lost volume and correct operation of the speakers. After the smartphones were allowed to rest for 24 hours without drowning or freezing, they began to work again as before. However, the iPhone 15 Pro Max required a reboot to fully restore wired charging functionality.

Microsoft is preparing a lightweight version of Windows 12 for very cheap PCs and laptops

Microsoft is indeed working on a “web-centric” version of the next generation of the Windows operating system, commonly known as Windows 12. This was reported by the thematic resource WindowsLatest, citing several sources close to Microsoft and its industry partners.
The cloud or web-based version of Windows 12 is similar in operating principles to the already well-known ChromeOS operating system from Google, which is used mainly on school and student PCs and laptops that are characterized by accessibility.
As WindowsLatest notes, the cloud version of Windows 12 is not intended to replace the traditional proprietary OS on desktop computers and could be the “true” answer to Chrome OS. This is Microsoft’s attempt to create a more modern, modular and lightweight version of Windows for low-cost educational devices.
Microsoft is already building a development team for the next generation of Windows. This is confirmed by job listings appearing online. It also notes that the “next generation of Windows” will appear in 2024.
As WindowsLatest learned, the Microsoft Edge browser and a new artificial intelligence system will be the center of the first web version of Windows 12.
