Just found an interesting article at the German news site heise.de:
Das US Army Research Laboratory erprobt in Zusammenarbeit mit dem US-Unternehmen Command Sight eine Augmented-Reality-Brille (AR) für Spürhunde, die im Einsatz für das Militär Sprengstoffe, Gase oder andere gefährliche Materialien aufspüren und bei Rettungsaktionen helfen. Über die AR-Brille sollen die "Special Forces Dogs" visuelle Anweisungen aus der Ferne erhalten, um den Hundeführer bei gefährlichen Militär-Einsätzen nicht zu gefährden.
I could find an English text on that topic, too:
The US Army is prepping a pair of augmented reality goggles for dogs that will allow handlers to issue commands from afar as the canines sniff out bombs.
Currently, when dogs go in search of explosives, they rely on their handlers to give them directions via hand signals, laser pointers, or voice. As such, those handlers need to be near their dogs, which can put the handlers in danger.
A company called Command Sight, however, has developed AR goggles for dogs, which will allow handlers to remain out of sight while giving their dogs commands.
Next come Virtual Smell Producers because dogs prefer their noses when searching for something ...
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

It accompanies the release of a new report highlighting key areas to focus quantum research. You can either know the position of the government on quantum computing, or the rate of progress?
What can I say? It sounded like a good idea when I started to type it, but I'm obviously done for the week. Toodles!

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

While the Microsoft Store is a distant 3rd place in mindshare and actual customer usage, the company has the current benefit of not being dragged into court over anti-competitive app store practices like its peers. "With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you, won't you say you love me too?"

Businesses need to provide their employees with the proper means to work remotely. It's not hard to choose between a cube and your crib

Apparently remote meetings are too exhausting and the lack of a commute makes workers unproductive.

After 44 years, there’s finally a better way to find approximate solutions to the notoriously difficult traveling salesperson problem. And all those traveling salespeople will be delighted with the result
Finally, they'll be able to reach all their customers and sell them brushes and vacuum cleaners more efficiently.

Quote: have proved that an algorithm devised a decade ago beats Christofides’ 50% factor, though they were only able to subtract 0.2 billionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a percent.
 The ol' Planck scale comparison.

After an impressive run, the user was revealed to be a bot using OpenAI’s remarkable language model GPT-3. And now we’re looking at every “person” online with an extra level of scepticism. Seems like a pretty standard reaction to being on Reddit for any length of time

I think I heard someone say they were renaming the successor from GPT-4 to K.E.N.T. (Keyboard Emulating Neural Turing) next year.
