The system employs HMAC-SHA256 (Hash-based Message Authentication Code using SHA-256) for license integrity verification. SHA-256 refers to the Secure Hash Algorithm producing 256-bit hash values (see ...

The same personalized algorithms that deliver online content based on your previous choices on social media sites like YouTube also impair learning, a new study suggests. Researchers found that when ...

Researchers from Google Quantum AI report that their quantum processor, Willow, ran an algorithm for a quantum computer that solved a complex physics problem thousands of times faster than the world's ...

Imagine a town with two widget merchants. Customers prefer cheaper widgets, so the merchants must compete to set the lowest price. Unhappy with their meager profits, they meet one night in a ...

In an era dominated by social media, misinformation has become an all too familiar foe, infiltrating our feeds and sowing seeds of doubt and confusion. With more than half of social media users across ...

Abstract: This letter presents an RS-SPC concatenated code blindrecognition algorithm based on the single-error correction. The algorithm corrects the least reliable ...

Do you remember the early days of social media? The promise of connection, of democratic empowerment, of barriers crumbling and gates opening? In those heady days, the co-founder of Twitter said that ...

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a two-stage soft-decision decoding (SDD) algorithm for BCH codes. At the first stage, we search for test error patterns (TEPs ...

Ever wondered how social media platforms decide how to fill our feeds? They use algorithms, of course, but how do these algorithms work? A series of corporate leaks over the past few years provides a ...

Social media algorithms are complex sets of rules and calculations used by social media platforms to prioritize content in users’ feeds. They are like the invisible puppeteers behind the scenes, ...

A tip of the cowboy hat goes to our John Mac Ghlionn for his spot-on lament of the slow but inexorable decline of country music. Country may not be dead as a going concern, but it’s on life-support.

AI algorithms can self-modify and create new code when fed new data, raising unprecedented questions about agency and accountability, even as AI produces documented harms across domains, from ...
