Forget peer pressure, future generations are more likely to be influenced by robots, a study suggests. If the robots asked you to jump off a bridge, would you?

So we are already prepping to blame the robots for meddling with the elections?

Then I need some robots to boss my granddaughters about.
Yeah, right...

Slightly mindful on this, as I would add in studies to check if children are simply more persuaded by outside information in general rather then simply Robot vs Children influences.
If monotone information an influence a child like txt messages.
Another human can give off body language queues that a child might pickup on (the benefit of a few thousand years of evolution priming) which would help a child 2nd guess their persuasion.
Were with a robot, or if added to the study if text on a screen, which gives far less false flag indicators, if a child would be influenced?

Starting today, Amazon and Microsoft will begin rolling out the first integrations between the digital assistants, allowing users to rouse Cortana on Echo devices and conjure Alexa on Windows 10 PCs and Harman Kardon Invoke speakers. At least they didn't go with 'Corxa' or 'Alexana'

Researchers have demonstrated holonomic quantum gates under zero-magnetic field at room temperature, which could enable the realization of fast and fault-tolerant universal quantum computers. Only an Avogadro's number of steps remain
+/- a few

Quote: The paper, published in the journal Nature Communications, reports experimental demonstration of non-adiabatic and non-abelian holonomic quantum gates over a geometric spin qubit on an electron or nitrogen nucleus, which paves the way to realizing a universal quantum computer.
Piece of cake!

To prevent problems from being introduced into new systems, open source governance specialist Sonatype is launching a tool to enable developers to identify and avoid using open source components that have known vulnerabilities. Or just don't grab random code off the internet?

The ability to represent and manipulate numerical quantities can be observed in many species, including insects, mammals and humans. This suggests that basic quantitative reasoning is an important component of intelligence, which has several evolutionary advantages. I don't have enough logic units to say anything here

That's actually a very nice coding standards guide.
That author must've put a lot of time into that because it is extremely well thought out and very clear reading. Kudos to that author!

All three are Spectre-class attacks that take advantage of a CPU design feature named speculative execution —a feature found in all modern CPUs that has the role of improving performance by computing operations in advance and later discarding unneeded data. Number of days without Intel issues: 0

With WinForms and .NET available on multiple platforms, and even running on a Raspberry Pi.
The non-problem that there is no GUI that works on both Windows and an Android phone is because what works for the one, would be horrible for the other.
