Researchers have developed a new type of computer chip that recognises images and patterns using light instead of electricity, which is one of the most energy-intensive parts of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Using light significantly reduces the power needed for these processes, making it 10 to 100 times more efficient than current circuits performing the same calculations. This could enable higher-performance AI models and help decrease the huge electricity demand straining power networks. AI systems employ a machine learning process called “convolution” to interpret images, videos, and even language. Currently, convolution operations are slow and require a lot of computational…

Once September hits, my travel bags must feel as fall-ready as my wardrobe. My straw totes and canvas carryalls had their moment this summer, but now I’m reaching for richer-textured leather crossbody bags, sturdy and structured totes, and a warmer, autumnal-hued belt bag to make every travel outfit feel polished, whether I’m navigating subway crowds in NYC or hopping on a flight. The best part? Amazon has styles starting at just $17 that are perfect for city streets, wine tastings, or weekend getaways. I never leave my apartment without a bag, and I bring the same mentality when I travel.…
